Putin should not be the main focus when talking about Russia's future.
Archbishop Theophan of Poltava summed up in the 1930’s the prophecies which he had received from such elders as these: “
You ask me about the near future and about the last times. I do not speak on my own, but give the revelation of the Elders: The coming of Antichrist draws nigh and is very near. The time separating us from him should be counted a matter of years and at most a matter of some decades. But before the coming of Antichrist Russia must yet be restored—to be sure, for a short time. And in Russia there must be a Tsar forechosen by the Lord Himself. He will be a man of burning faith, great mind and iron will. This much has been revealed about him. We shall await the fulfillment of what has been revealed. Judging by many signs it is drawing nigh, unless because of our sins the Lord God shall revoke, shall alter what has been promised. According to the witness of the word of God, this also happens.” [The Orthodox Word, 1969, no. 4, p. 194].
Putin is fine in my opinion, but the real thing is yet to come. Trust the plan.
