#3 He faces the same problems that every major leader before him has faced. He adequately maintained things, but he is not a builder. Russia needs to again decentralize and devolve power away from Moscow, then begin to rebuild and renew.

But Russia can only do this if Putin picks a successor capable enough to do these things, but strong enough to fend off the ambitious.
