Considering that it was a Communist dictatorship 50 years ago and an absolute monarchy before that, it's possible that it still be some kind of authoritarian regime in the future.

Or maybe it'll be a democracy, since other countries in "recent" history (Brazil, South Korea, Indonesia, Tunisia...) eventually managed to become a democracy too.

Russian leaders are either fondly rembered at home and despised abroad (e.g. Stalin), or the other way around (e.g. Gorbachev).

I guess in Putin's case it will be the former.

And even if Russia happens to be a fully fledged democracy in 50 years, Russian "conservatives" may still admire Putin then... just like many Spanish conservatives still have a thing for Franco till today. Tongue
