    Russia ruled by Vladimir Putin has become a ‘toxic state’.

    Since Vladimir Putin is expected to run for his fourth presidential term in 2018, this scenario is dangerous.
    Today’s Russia is a dangerous state that preserves its legitimacy by provoking conflicts (Syria, EU), through the threat of war and the threat of confrontation.
    Vladimir Putin is mobilizing the society in Russia to support the authorities. That’s the only resource the regime currently has.

    The next year’s presidential election outcome in Russia is predetermined.
    Vladimir Putin will be nominated and get (as expected) an absolute majority of voices with the probability of over 95%.
    Remember Alexei Navalny?

    It is absolutely clear that Navalny will not be allowed to participate in the election because he is really the only opponent. He is a very talented politician.
    One can say that he is actually the only politician in Russia.
