If even 10% of Russians protested Putin would cease to be a problem.

The problem is - as long as the economy is fine they don't care.

Personal anecdote:

In April 2010 I was protesting ratification of the so called "Kharkiv Pact" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharkiv_Pact) in Kyiv. I remember a moment, when I was single-handedly pushing three rows of soldiers (national guard; they didn't really try) and almost no one else joined, one of the members of our group said to another: "There won't be a revolution today. Let's wait till they start losing money, then we'll try again".

Last year at least 60% of Belarus protested Lukaschenko, and did it for months. What good did that bring them? 10% is not nearly enough for Russian situation

Probably would have been effective if not for Putin's support

Putin also has Putin's support.
