If Russia wants to install a pro-Russian govt in Ukraine, they would not bet on dead horses like Azarov. The would:
1) Initiate an attack which Zelensky would not be able to fight back
2) An SBU or Army general (presumably a patriot, but on RUS payroll) would revolt
3) Win (cont)

Ukraine is a living democracy and can't be ruled by dictatorship means. But this democracy's weakness is the lack of political programmatic parties, and the rule of many eader's parties. This is a fruitful soil for populists on Russia's or oligarchs' payroll (like Zelensky was).
As a lot of Ukrainian SBU and Army officers are still obviously well connected to /controlled by Russia, it will not be a problem to find a person from Zelensky's (anyway pro-Russian) team who would play a card "I am not a politician, I am a guy like you, and I will bring order".
This would be a very dangerous threat to Ukraine, a bigger threat even compared to absolutely corrupt and anti-Ukrainian Zelensky.
