Agreed, that might result in terror on unprecedented scale as there's enough para-military extreme groups on all edges of the political spectrum.*
Let's hope the country will reform *before* people are forced to go on the streets.
* OTOH, in the past terror by Soviet authorities and army rarely resulted in violent all-on-all war in Russia - see Vilnius 1991, Tbilisi 1989, Baku 1990, Sumgait 1988, Moscow 1993. We should be more concerned about 1917 like scenario.
