Yes.
But it requires complete defeat of Russia in some way, preferably explicit recognition by it that its society erred.
Otherwise aggressive ambitions and blaming others will continue, as it did in Weimar Germany after WWI, which fostered the rise of Nationalsozialistiche leading to WWII.
Russia never had a partially democratic society - Marxists shot the first elected legislative assembly as the Czar began to relax. Putin comes out of Marxism in action - he was a KGB official, whose activities included false-flag terrorism. He is obsessed with his version of history which is to take back former USSR pieces like Ukraine.
