There will be no change in leaders if Putin is still in charge. All the indications are he will keep his loyal lieutenants - Shoigu and Gerasimov in charge.
But the genie is out of the bottle now, and there are already signs morale among russian troops at the front, never sky high, is crumbling. An entire unit of elite VDV paratroopers was surrounded and surrendered or were killed when they refused to, as Klishchivka, just south of Bakhmut. Slowly, the entire Russian force in that town is being surrounded, just as predicted.

ichi : It wasn't only Columbian journalists in that restaurant/bar.
The reporter for the D.Telegraph was in there with his translator. They were just ordering when he received a phone call from his editor telling him to go to the other side of town to cover another story. They were both annoyed at this interruption but cancelled the order & left. When they later returned, they found the place had just been bombed, the waiter they had been talking to was alive but badly injured & covered in blood & being carried out of the wreckage

Putin will be ‘gone within a year’, says chess grandmaster Kasparov
Kasparov, now living in New York (despite being a Russian former world chess champion) has been a long-term critic of Putin - such that I’m surprised that he has not fallen out of a window or suffered some other unfortunate poisoning event himself. Being famous is no guarantee of immunity from Russian influence.
Another plug for Private Eye; the current issue cover has Putin saying ‘Russian troops are advancing on the capital’, with another speech bubble saying ‘Unfortunately it’s Moscow’
There is also Prigozhin saying ‘I saw a window of opportunity’, with another speech bubble saying ‘And soon you’ll be falling out of it’

I've sometimes wondered just how Russian Kasparov is
"[A]lthough I'm half-Armenian, half-Jewish, I consider myself Russian because Russian is my native tongue, and I grew up with Russian culture." Kasparov and his family had to "flee anti-Armenian pogroms in Baku in January 1990 that were coordinated by local leaders with Soviet acquiescence".
I wouldn't blame him if deep down he grew up with some residual suspicion of the Soviet Union.
