They're giving him the Lenin treatment before he's even dead

He's going to be around forever

Only the good die young, assholes live FOREVER

Stalin tried to enforce the Lenin treatment for himself...

It doesn't always stick.

The next person to gain power is 100% going to clean house, because the Russian government is a pit of back biting vipers.

You’re not worried that Putin is really just a puppet for all the oligarchs running the place now? Seems likely they’ll pick a new puppet.

They're all in it together, but the ones less loyal to Putin have a habit of dying.

Putin has had a bunch of them killed.

There's a great podcast called Sad Oligarch that goes over it all.

So yeah, Putin is not currently a puppet ruler.

Good to know, I’ll check out that podcast. It sounds pretty interesting.

A puppet is someone whose actions are fully steered from the outside.

Putin is a person chosen by KGB/FSB because he makes decisions that are very useful its leaders, but he retains a large amount of autonomy.
