Nope, I don't think so.
1991 is 1991 all over again is more likely.
Russians have managed to enjoy a teensy bit more economic indulgence and power in the last couple of decades, and now they're looking
at a stark spectre of ruin.
Several here are certain that the price of a gallon of gas is the sole yardstick of whether this or that party holds power or takes it here.
Welp, there's a whole lotta ruination on the horizon in Russia for a lot more than just gasoline.

So, by the same token, if you're sure high gas prices can knock one party out of power, take a look at a country where across the board "currency collapse"
set off a nationwide revolution.

It's not that I think you're wrong, I just think few if any in Russia are going to let this drag on for ten years.
