Gorbachev and Yelsin had the decency to resign at least—Gorbachev because his policies, which many Russians felt led to the break up of the Soviet Union, stepped down gracefully. Yelsin stepped down because he felt he had failed in bringing the nation out of crisis after the break up of the USSR.

Putin seemingly thinks it's his destiny to re-constitute the Russian empire which he feels includes the Ukraine, so he won't resign even though he's the most hated man in the world after his disastrous miscalculation of invading an independent nation—unprovoked. He'll be forced out or shot.

And I can't wait.
