All of Putin's likely successors are hand picked by him and are just as bad, if not worse. They'll be some realignment in the government ranks, but that's about it. This idea that its all going to be roses and rainbows after Putin is gone is quite naive. The most popular political party is United Russia, which is where Putin belongs, the next is the remnant of the Communist Party and they are even more hawkish.
