American media is pushing the regime change angle to hard.
Everyone around Putin in essence is guilty so they can't plead it wasn't me. Not talking about current fun and games just in general.
This goes down to the regional level and mayor's. Regimes basically a klepocracy and a patronage based system.
There's no politburo to remove him like Krushchev. There's no designated successor or number 2.
It's not even clear who would take over if he died. Theoretically it's the prime minister but it's not hard coded as I understand it.
Even Hitler had a designated successor (Goring) from a legal PoV
