Perhaps.....
I doubt Russia will suddenly "collapse".
-----------------------------------------
In WW1 both Germany and Russia collapsed in part because the government lost
enough support that rebellions from within could threaten to take them down.
A military takeover of the government is much easier than victory in the
field, an example that might have is Wagner`s aborted march on Moscow.

"But in July 1945, U.S. troops defeated the Japanese on Saipan (part of the
Marianas island chain in the South Pacific) putting American bomber planes
in range of the main Japanese islands. .. Tojo now came under great pressure
to leave the government, and on July 18 he resigned. Harshly criticized by
the public, who blamed him for Japan`s problems, he and his wife retired to
private life."

The moderate (Menshevik) Communist Kerensky took charge and tried to
continue the war but couldn`t muster enough support, enabling a second
revolution by Lenin and the Bolsheviks.
Commando leader Otto Skorzeny took part in two coups and temporarily
reversed a third by rescuing Mussolini. He personally subdued a coup in
Austria and inflicted one on Hungary by the ruse of marching into the
government castle with an "escort" parade to remove the German delegation, a
parade without end that soon included tanks.
