What happens if Vladimir Putin suddenly dies – or is killed? Has the Russian dictator lined up a successor, or would a new leader rise up? And what sort of chaos would that bring? At 73, Putin is one of the longest-serving leaders in modern Russian history. No one appears likely to challenge him directly right now, but his time will have to run out eventually.
Historian, author and major Russia expert Mark Galeotti joins Gavin Esler to discuss where Russia’s next leader might come from – and whether they would be anything more than Putin with a different face.
