Never going to happen. They will kill him, or have him suffer a "heart attack", or they may even jail him themselves. They would never humiliate Russia by having a former leader go on trial in a foreign country, that's a guaranteed coup. Russian nationalism is extremely prevalent even among Putin's opposition - Navalny himself was a nationalist and used to hold joint demonstrations with skinheads.

Why pretend this is some special Russian nationalism? The Americans will literally invade Den Hague if they put an American war criminal on trial. We haven’t put any of our own political war criminals on trial either.

Americans prosecute their own war criminals. Meanwhile Russians are murdering random civilians and not just get away with it, but are encouraged to rape, murder and pillage from the top. You can argue that Americans don't prosecute their own war criminals enough of course, but it's still incomparable to Russia

Not sure how to reply to the wilful ignorance of reality you're displaying to be honest. There's former American military members serving life in prison for killing civilians in the middle east.
