    Exactly, highly unlikely. Especially as Russia needs to be the enemy because western corps want its resources. They will just find another pawn than Ukraine to fight Russia when this is finally over. There are tons of compradors in Post Soviet Eastern Europe that will oblige.

              The people next in line behind Putin are rife with hypernationalist hawks. I highly doubt you’re going to find someone who would both sell out to the west after all this and live long enough around their compatriots to accomplish much before getting couped.

        Well if China goes serious about promoting socialism outside its borders, I can kinda see it happening. Bourgeoisie will always sell out if they feel threatened by the proletariat

          I don’t think China doing a full foreign policy 180 from non-interference to exporting revolution is on the cards in the near future. More likely the Russian bourgeoisie will just sell resources to China and angle for Chinese investments in Russia.

              Yeah, they’ll just continue to do that because it works for them. The Russian people can’t rely on outside help to oust the oligarchs, they have to do it themselves.

              That being said, I think the oligarchs were really hurt by Western sanctions which cut off their wealth stored in the West.
