wildberries has been taken over by an oligarch and the only powers in Russia that Putin may hear are the oligarchs. There will be no 'overthrow of Putin' in Russia because there is no institutional support and it is well understood by literate people - a revolution is not just a disorganized uprising on the streets (what happens the next day? - return to normal) it requires years of planning and support.

    > wildberries has been taken over by an oligarch

This is incorrect. The founder and CEO of Wildberries of Tatyana Kim. She does not come from a wealthy family. She started that business as a young mother in 2004 and is self-made.

    > a revolution is not just a disorganized uprising on the streets it requires years of planning and support.

Many Eastern bloc communist states fell with large public protests and did not "require years of planning and support". [1]
