Russia has a rotten healthcare system, a declining life expectancy, and a stagnant economy. The downside of being a strongman dictator is that things not under your control are the ones that are the greatest threat. Like Trump, Putin is more threatened by the virus than by any political opponent. Both could give “hoist on their own petard” new meaning.
