In 1917 during the Communist revolution Russians were mostly uneducated and didn't care about world politics. They were just tired of fighting and dying in wars for the Tsar.
It's a totally different situation in Russian now, they've seen that Communism has failed, and they've seen the dangers of dictatorship and totalitarianism. I think they're sure they have to get rid of Putin somehow, they're just trying to figure out how to do it.
If Hillary were President, she'd be trying to help the Russian people (who hate Putin) behind the scenes. We can't expect Cheeto to do any such thing, unfortunately. Maybe it's best for us to worry about our own problems right now.
