          If he had pushed harder and recruited along the way with huge sign up bonuses he may have been somewhat successful. He probably could have taken Moscow… but then he would eventually have to endure a siege after that, which he definitely wouldn’t have won.

        You don’t need to take the whole city, just Putin. And he didn’t have many defenses. Russia is very apathetic to who is in charge, they have been trained to uncritically support whoever looks like they’re in charge.
