A new strongman will be chosen out of the new oligarchy class that at this point begins to resemble a new aristocracy. This is where the real issue is. Russia does not just simply have a strongman, it is developing a class of useless idiots, who by virtue of birth possess extraordinary wealth and get into position of power. Granted if these people actually produced something of value and rule the country prosperously (perhaps the general populace would actually accept the new order). The thing is that they do not but just squander the potential of the nation. Putin and his people in years had done nothing significant, Russia is a gas station with nuclear weapons at this point.
This current state of affairs was created exactly because of corruption and nepotism that Putin and his comrades had fostered. Although it could be argued they themselves arose out of the chaos from the collapse of SU.
It is really become a struggle between the people and this new class of oligarchs, it is either the republic will win over or this new class will have to establish an oppressive dictatorship or monarchy. Considering that this new class of oligarchs is composed of thugs and opportunist, and not actually people of any legitimate virtue. I suspect the people are going to win over eventually.
