These people are so poor and can endure misery like medieveal peasants. Combined with Russian state propaganda they'll still be proud to be Russian, even when toothless and freezing in the winter. Sadly that's how I see it. Those eastern Ukrainians that oppose Russian occupation will flee to the west of the country if they haven't already. It's mostly old age pensioners left who are too old to up sticks and were raised on Soviet propaganda. Russian families will probably be moved into occupied territories, Russian banks have already opened up in occupied territories and Russian ersatz western brands are following suit - similar to Israeli tactics but without ersatz western brands.

He had to flee because that's what leaders do when there is escalating violence and far right militias in the capital. When the Taliban were storming into Kabul like a hot knife through butter, the western backed Ashraf Ghani similarly fled to the west, likewise Assad fleeing Syria to Russia. That said illegally overthrowing in those circumstances was the only thing they could do and even Russia accepted the new Poroshenko government.
