Russia is a two-class organisation ! Politicians who favour Putin are safe ! Politicians and anyone else who oppose the official line, are not safe ! But there is a real opposition in Russian Streets at present !
Basically all former Soviet satellites were happy to choose their future when the Berlin Wall "fell" in 1989. Several are now in the EU (East Germany, Check Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Bulgaria, ...) or are now applicants for entry (Albania, ...). All these countries explain why the EU has suddenly grown bigger !
Gorbacheff was the Leader of Russia in 1989 when the old Regime collapsed due to its former political policies and he could do nothing to stop the mass defection of former Russian "Satellites" !
Now in 2013 Putin wants to stop Ukraine from escaping the domination of Russia ! Putin threatens to use military force, whether it is Ukrainian or from elsewhere !
Why ? Does Putin not realise that History is repeating itself ? Do Putin and his henchmen not realise that ex-Russian satellites want a better life, that they want "Independence" from Russian domination ?
All this started in Hungary in 1956 ! Then there was the Berlin wall in 1989 ! Now in 2013, it is the Ukraine ! What next ?
