    More than a year of war has changed Ukraine forever — but it is also reshaping Russia, with opinion starkly divided on what should happen to the country after the conflict.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin is hoping its borders will be expanded and his own grip on power will be strengthened. Many outside Russia are pushing for a future without Putin, in which Moscow will never again be in a position to invade its neighbors.

    But some Russians themselves are calling for a restructuring of the country and a rethinking of Russian national identity — often at great personal risk.

    Ruh-roh, bad news for Poopin!
