Putin has been trying to restore the USSR for a long time. He is quite literally a communist in the spirit of communist leaders of Soviet and Chinese past

Don't go crazy here.


No. There is certainly some Soviet mentality in his thinking, it comes out every once and a while. But he is a Russian nationalist and everything he does is in that spirit, from his internal policy, foreign policy, and even aesthetic proclivities.

He's also Russian Orthodox, has a street named after him in Bethlehem, and made a pilgrimage to Mount Athos not too long ago.
