But I think in a state like Russia, we know there is a lot of corruption. And it is obvious, that there are rich russians, which are willing to challange Putin. As last seen with Pirogin and Wagner marching towards Moscow. Maby there is no good free media to show the potential russian powers to replace putin. But I would be very surprised, when Pirogin was the last to contest him.

Since I assume the paranoia of Putin is not helping him to make friends easily. So it is a good setup for enemy alliances to strengthen within Russia.
