One way for him to survive is to have total control on communications within Russia. No outside Internet, no social networking that he doesn’t control. Social scoring like China, like a sci-fi movie.
Assuming he could pull that off with controlling the networks, cell phones and the networks they can connect to, what could we do to free the populations communications? Satelittes, then black market cell phones which can connect to satellites, or to each other? Drop them from airplanes? We might need to do that to prevent the China and Russian monsters from destroying all of us
