It's interesting to muse on the question of whether the #Russian #elite would depose and replace #Putin if all was lost, or whether they'd simply bolt and run to the luxurious hidey holes they've prepared around the world.
#Africa has been well prepared, as has #Brazil.

My bet on is on some of them running.
Not all will want to go down with the ship or take their chances between private armies during a fight for power.

The transition between Putin and his successor is unlikely to go smoothly
