So because of the great loss of human life, Russians decide never again and in the name of those lost, dramatically improve Russia by getting rid of Putin for example

Russians are gluttons for punishment. They have spent 100s of years waring against their own population. They will never improve their lives or country.
> Why would they get rid of the person that took Russia from a failed state to a great power?
This is something the West will never understand. If they had seen Russia in the 90s and early 2000s when it had been absolutely gutted by the collapse of the Soviet Union, they'd understand why Putin is legitimately popular now. The only reason the US wants him gone is because, unlike Gorbachev and Yeltsin, he doesn't bend over for their interests.
