Putin may be a monke, but he's a paranoid ex-spook monke - he has bodyguards, personal armies (ФCБ, ФCO, Pocгвapдия), allegedly numerous body doubles, personal armored train, again allegedly he still demands 2 week quarantine before personal meetings due to being paranoid about covid, never leaves his bunker (hence the nickname "Бyнкepный дeд" - bunker old man) unless for visiting publicity events, heavily curated and filled to the brim by FSB spooks acting as attendees.
Anyway, he's just a face for the unholy amalgamation of military leaders, "ex"-communist party big-shots and more modern oligarchy - they may squabble for power once he's ultimately dead, but I don't believe anything meaningful will come out of It.
