Unfortunately dictators tend to be extremely resilient.
General Franco of Spain, dictator for 39 years, despite active opposition.
Muammar Gaddafi of Libya 42 years, and was forced out by foreign powers.
Kim Young Un has only been 12 years, but it was inherited from his father,and he is still reigning. His father was dictator of North Korea for 34 years, and it only ended because he died.
Some of the people around Putin may be hawks, but Putin have them all scared shitless.
I too hope they will get rid of him soon, and I'm pretty sure the oligarchs aren't happy, and most the politicians aren't either.
So if they can gather the courage, Putin could be out any moment.
