Mini-tsar?!  No, I think this a problem with both Putin and
Lukashenko: by preventing any real legal opposition and
competition, they have removed any strong future candidates,
as well.  But Lukashenko at least publicly admints that he
is a "outgoing politician".

Not an all-out war I think, but some criminal wars are
possible, what with the Prigozhine mutiny.  And once it
starts, foreign armies may invade Russia as well, exactly as
it happened during the so-called Allied Intervention.

You mean parallel import to bypass the sanctions?  This is
just one of the factors.

Quite high, thanks to the colonial policy of our Central
Bank.  Did you know that /nobody/ was punished for letting
the West steal $3e12 of Russian reserves, by keeping
them in the banks of our geopolitical enemies?
