Personally, I don't understand this point of view.

Most despotic leaders are not well liked by the people. There are so few examples of the people rising up to depose a despot. I actually can't even think of one that would apply in this situation.

He is probably insulated with layers of old Soviet/KGB true believers/cronies.

Somehow the common person is going to penetrate that? I just don't see it.

Are you sure? This is not at all obvious to me.
