Yes I am sure, russia still haven't even started to mobilize people from big cities, where most people live actually, most of those that were drafted came from the most who cares regions like buryatia or whatever.

They literally do zhukov style human wave offensive with anti-retreat forces at the back and russians cheer on, so yeah russia can support this for years.

He won't there were 0 popular uprisings in 25 years of putins rule, there were 0 in the last century, at worst there were demonstartions where people went to police themselves to be arrested.

Closest they were to popular uprising was during tambov rebellion in 1920. Russians love their oppressors, they absolutely adore stalin, putin, czars, that's just how they roll.
