At least one American journalist gets that regime change in Russia would likely be something very different from the resurgence of liberalism that most in the US suppose. Rather, it would be a violent nationalist government bent on assertion of Russia's greatness and vengeful of slight, armed with parity in nuclear weapons.

Perhaps on a lesser scale, but along those same lines, kinda like cops and the "police state" (which is also out of control) routinely killing innocents and getting away with it. And the carceral state making sure that the fifth column (the 99%) stays in line or out of the way. Of course there are the sham "investigations" that ensure the police state remains untouched and continues to work toward protecting the elites. It's been happening here a lot longer than what may or may not be brewing in Russia.
