That is to say there's a lot of people of the same mind and policy as Putin in Russia, is there? I can certainly imagine a lot of people close to him would gladly carry on his agendas.
Putin is a strongman, but he's not an autocrat. He has a political class that he answers to, and their interests inform his policy decisions. That's not to say he's not in charge: he certainly is. But the Russian oligarchy is much bigger than just him.
