Solving Russia

Aka a kleptocratic warlord genocider state with dreams stolen from the people. Ainority only, maybe up to 20%, has any hope - but more likely it is more like 1%? Could easily transform to 20@%, but how to educate psychosocial integration that allows democratic thought it hope to enter?

The institutions are fundamentally corrupt, with kleptocracy as the rule and totalitarianism as the daily fare. Is there any hope of transformation, or is this a case of thorough breakdown for transformation? What does history tell us about the potential for transformation? Japan or Germany come to mind, though Germany is suspect these days
