I certainly think its possible that, in Russia, “society’s democratic values will become institutionalized into the political system.” However, I wonder whether or not this would be finalized until the Putin-era is over. It seems to me that charismatic figures such as Putin tend to hold on to power unless extraordinary circumstances make change inevitable. Its difficult for me to say though exactly what he symbolizes to the majority of Russian people. Perhaps that would indeed be “stability.”
