I agree with you, but another will arise from his inner circle cadre (Medvedev or Shoigu come to mind) that are just as dangerous. And there is no shortage of people inside Russia that would capitalize on the power vaccuum to take glory for themselves, like what happened after the fall of the USSR in 1991.
If Putin goes, there indeed would likely be civil strife that would have some seriously dark days. I don't see any peaceful transition to replace Putin.
