Replace Russia with North Korea and ask the same question.
Autocrats can hold power for a very long time with the asymmetric tools of oppression and control we have that are only getting more advanced with each passing version upgrade.
And the more we cut a country and its people off from the rest of the world, the easier it is for the autocrat to maintain control.

North Korea only exists because the Chinese government wills it. Maybe we are trading Russia for Taiwan to the Chinese with the option on an uprising as best case.
