To be clear, I'm not asking who you personally would like to see, but who Russian citizens in general expect to be Putin's successor -- whenever that happens.
In this sense, I've composed a list of who I've read are viable candidates. As a possibly analogous situation, no one in America knows who will win the 2024 presidential election, but we sense that the race *could* involve Biden, Buttigieg, DeSantis, Haley, Pence, Trump (in alphabetical order). So, here is a list for your consideration, also in alphabetical order. I was limited to six options, so your critical comments and dark horse suggestions welcome.
PARDON MY MISTAKE: MISHUSTIN MIKHAIL IS THE CORRECT NAME. I MADE A COPY-PASTE ERROR AND CAN'T CHANGE IT AT THIS TIME. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS POLL, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS.
Inspired by a lost media iceberg found under r/IcebergCharts, I started a research of the allegedly "Vladimir Putin home video" (considered as a lost media).
After some digging inside Russian forums, I was able to find this 43-second snippet. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a longer version of the video (which should be at least 12 minutes long).
I'll do my best to find the full version in the future.
UPDATE: The YouTube video was taken down. The Wayback Machine couldn't save it in time... It's still possible to watch it from the Russian forum.
I decided to upload the video on YouTube (to make it more available): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdJFhPlCZmQ

Exactly at the same time, the new Yuan Gold is going to be released. And Basel 3 in January...
Any opinion about what are they going to sign??
"Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping are expected to approve a crucial political document during the Russian leaderβs visit to Beijing in February 2022, President of the Chinese side of the China-Russia Friendship Committee for Peace and Development, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office Xia Baolong said at the 13th plenary session of the bilateral committee on Tuesday.
