The same analysts say that Putin has broken that contract with this war, and Russia has had successful revolutions at least 2 times before, turning over the Tzar and later turning over the communist regime. So the people are not unfamiliar with revolutions.

I hope so, since Putin clearly is an enemy for his own country.
He absolutely is, and I doubt the Russians are aware how much harm he did even before the war.
