The officers who did this won't change because the leader of the country changed.
I like your optimism... a Kremlin power vacuum could go a lot of different ways.
Idk, since around year 1900 they almost always tilt to the right. Even Russian communists were authoritarians. When the Soviet Union collapsed into the Russian federation, it was yet another rightward tilt. Let me guess how the next one is gonna go, hmmm think brain.
You're off a few hundred years... At least.
Russia has never improved as a result of an assassination or death of a predecessor. When Stalin died Russian didn't exactly become a paragrim of democracy why would you think anything would happen differently if Putin died even if by natural causes.
