So Putin, if he does not die, and if he is not killed, they will drag him to the fifth term. It is unlikely that he will voluntarily give up power. The example of Nazarbayev does not inspire early retirement. Rather the opposite. Tokayev first pressed the Nazarbayev clan, and then returned the former name to Astana.

  No matter how one may say, nothing good shines in Putin's Russia. If a young Republican comes to power in the United States instead of the elderly Biden, then Russia and Putin personally will be squeezed even more. Moreover, Nicholas II should quickly launch an invasion against Hitler.

  There is still some intrigue here. If, nevertheless, Putin loses the presidential elections in Russia. Well, let's say his Russian Zelensky appears, or Ramzan Kadyrov dares to challenge his patron, then what about Nicholas II?

  Do they have the same life expectancy as Putin? But what if Putin loses power but is still alive?

  How then will Nicholas II also lose power or not?

  Maybe leave voluntarily? But the grandson-heir is still too small. As Tamerlane died at the age of sixty-eight and his great-grandson, the direct heir, was still a boy, and the empire collapsed very quickly.

  Yes, sometimes geniuses have to live forever. But much more often another ruler will die early. For example, when Vladimir Putin moderated his ambitions, he was lucky. But when he began to claim too much... Although Putin still has some luck. And OPEC has cut oil production, and the economy hasn't collapsed yet, and opposition in Russia is weak. The same Zyuganov is a pocket six, but he does not die, and the communists themselves cannot remove him in any way. And from Suraikin a new star did not work out, on the contrary, his party split and even lost what it had. And in Yabloko, the new leader Rybakov did not become a star. And Slutsky is even more loyal than Zhirinovsky. And so far, China is not putting pressure on Russia, although it could knock out a lot of concessions.

  And the Taliban are not yet climbing into Tajikistan, although it's about time, while Russia's hands are tied by a war with Ukraine. And Biden's main enemy is an old and decrepit grandfather, and Republicans and Democrats are squabbling.

  The most important luck for Putin is that there is no person about whom the people could say: if not Putin, then this one! Unless the bright star of Ramzan Kadyrov has appeared, who can mobilize all Muslims into his electorate. But Kadyrov is also very loyal to the dictator. So while Putin has luck.

  And if he did not immediately conquer Ukraine at the pace of a blitzkrieg, then because he himself is a fool and an amateur and mediocrity in military affairs, not listening to the advice of professionals. How and why Putin, having such phenomenal luck, did not restore the USSR. Firstly, he didn"t want to, and secondly, because he was stupid and mediocre. Being lucky is not bad, to be sure, but you still have to boil the balls.

  And Nicholas II, the Greatest, and Putin's luck appeared phenomenal and the balls are boiled. Here are the results, so impressive and fantastic.

  It would be better not to give Putin good luck in real life. And at least make sure that Admiral Makarov does not die so ridiculously and completely by accident!
