All I can figure is Vladdy is realizing his number isn't far from being up and wants to make a big splash in the history books before he goes, and thought he had a push-over next door neighbor he could easily annex.
Well, as was said in the third Indiana Jones movie, "He chose... poorly."
Gorby is still alive! He was born in 1931, so he's about 91 years old. No idea what shape he's in, but probably not good enough to run Russia long enough to get any significant reforms in.
As to who the front runners are to really reform Russia, they'd have to have some truly free and open elections to find out - after unlocking the prisons and letting Putin's political opponents out, especially the ones he tried to murder who survived.
