I've lived over there for a few years , my dad is married to one, and I have a lot of half-russian sibblings, so I know the russian mentality pretty well.
Still though, I find this a hard one to crack.
-Putin has a massive ego, that's not exactly big news.
Despite that the russian government is in dire need of Yukos tax money.
-Russia can't afford a stop in pumping oil for even a minute.
So the not so farfetched plan would be for them to replace every government critic in the board and carry on operations as usual.
