I never said I liked Putin. Nor did I make excuses for him. He knows where power lies, so he cannot piss that power off. If the Russian Federation was a kingdom, it could be a Rus ethnostate. Since they have allowed foreigners in, it is not, this is because the foreigners who steal from the Russians will pay dissidents to overthrow the state.
That doesn't make sense. He's plainly in service to that power, not secretly fighting against it. And you know very little about Russia if you think it could be a Rus ethnostate. Russian historians, and Putin himself, would be quick to remind you that "Russia has always been multicultural". https://russia-islworld.ru/rossia/putin-emphasizes-russias-multicultural-identity-2024-03-28-40426/
The tsars were leaders of the Russian empire, which by definition, incorporated many (non-White) ethnicities. The Soviet Union was the same way, and the Russian Federation follows that model.
