      Putin thinks he knows what brought down the Soviet Union and how it could have prevented. So where his vision deviates from the USSR, it is his solution that he thinks will create a stronger empire. Basically, he thinks he can do better and make an indestructible Soviet Empire.

      For me, when Putin acted so defensibly (some say, aggressively) on the back and forth with the salvage of the submarine Kursk, I was struck with the non-cooperation that he displayed towards access to the wreck. That was to prove provendational in his distancing of Russia from Western outreach. So where we are today is merely an extension of this initial 'bite the hand that lends a hand' feeling that Putin regime gave its citizens about Russian long-term intentions.

      a slightly reduced Ukraine could actually also be an advantage. Ukraine would be a more consolidated country with a clearer national identity and clearer orientation towards Western style democracy and integration into the European Union. It could become an economic powerhouse just like a reduced Germany became after 1945.

    The gist of the matter is neither here nor there.
    Basically it boils down to uphold the traditional way to govern Russia by a small elite (Tsarist Nobility, top drawer of the Party or the security and military apparatus).
    The pool from where the elite personal is recruited is changing over time, so is the official ideology, but the structure, the pyramid of power remains.
    A small powerful closed elite group with their own fractions and fights, the technocrats and bureaucrats and the great mass of expendables.
    The rest is ideology, MAGA the Russian way.

    The "Special Military Operation" was expected to draw very little opposition from the western countries, as happened in 2014. A few sanctions, some diplomatic outrage but very little opposition.

      He sees his role as a leader who can dissolve the "old world order" and the other organizations like EU, NATO, UN so the Geneva Convention is gone. His military forces obviously don't know or want to abide by the convention.
      He has the vision of his country being at or near the top of international power.

      IMHO,Tsar Putin represents a ideology of ruzzian neo-imperialism & wants to expand the current ruzzian empire (it is a "federation" in only but name). Tsar Putin misses the superpower status the USSR had but he does not miss the communism (he needs capitalism to steal and enrich himself & his kleptocrats). The USSR was just a continuation of the ruzzian Empire by revolutionaries tearing it down then recreating it under communism, they are indeed opposites as you state Pyotr, or but the intent was the same , domination + expansion. The mistake at the end of the cold war was everyone thought, "Great, we defeated communism, problem solved!" [WRONG]. Communism was just an temporary iteration of the real problem...ruzzian Imperialism. That was the mistake made in 1989-1991 period of "the peace dividend". Let's keep in mind that ruzzia has an economy the SAME SIZE as Florida (the 4th largest US state by GDP). Even if you put the USSR back together it would only have an economy the same size as Texas (second largest US state by GDP). For those vatniks that want to mention "but price power parity", ruzzia cannot build a gazzillion "cheaper" Su-35's and T-90 tanks, barely 100 jets and 200 tanks a year each. So what is it going to spend the rest of its worthless rubles on ? 🤡

      Ultimately the complete removal of Ukranian identity reflected by the 2021 statements and the belief that Ukranian people would welcome the military forces with flowers and hugs, definitely not bullets. That's why he called it the "Special Military Operation".
      He also expected the "western powers" to do nothing but use expressions of outrage.
      Those western powers did essentially nothing much in 2014. He expected the same reaction.

      Putin wants Russia to be treated by the significant other (the US) as equal. Give us Europe an we will keep peace in Europe Yeltsin to Clinton. A multipolar wold where Russia is a one of the poles.
      To be recognise as a "fully sovereign country" i.e one of few members of the exclusive club - the recognition expressed by recognising Russian sphere of interest i.e giving Russia its share of the countries with the limited sovereignty (limited by the fully sovereign countries) i.e. a new Yalta.
      The original intention was, I think, to create EUAU a Russian empire under another name, not a unitary state as the old empire, not a federation like the USSR but a filandisation of the post Soviet space. Putin said in Munchen, that post Soviet space is Russia sphere of interests.
      After to come to Brussel and to say: We have raw material, you have technologies and people, let us put it together, get rid of the UK and their special relation, and kick the US out Europe.
      Next step dominate it. He who dominate this landmass dominates all wold.
      Medvydev said that Russians are building a space from Vladivostok to Lisabon.
      Recognition. Magnicky law made Russian elites furious, They kicked us out from the table. Yes, we killed the man, it is not relevant, they kicked us out.
      The last Valdai speech of. Putin - "They showed us where is our place.
      A new order in Europe, which gives Russia it due, based on the UN, ie. veto. The importance of 1815 in Russian discourse
      Identity question, old generation of Russians identifies with the USSR. The olde you are, tho more you support the war. "We all lived so peacefully"

    Very interesting lady! Personally, I just feel Putin in his old age, and probably given some "alone thinking time" during covid, suddenly developed an urge to justify his rule. Some purpose to it all, besides enjoying power and money. And so yes, I think the idea of inventing purpose through ideology, is a good way to look at Putin's reign. That infamus piece Putin wrote on Ukraine was Putin producing ideology.

    Heard that Ruski stole Moscow from the FinneUigor( not correct written:) . My point is that the only culture Ruskis has to show for are they had servitude (slavery)year longer than Europe and the nobility was people but workers/slaves could be sold, families split on a second etc. And this is evident today as only the elite cities has infrastructure. The rich do nothing for the population with the trillions earned by oil and gas. While mortage % is 24 and the economy collapsing the West has THE OPERTUNITY TO END THE EMPIRE BOMBING EUROPE FLAT AND POSSIBLE BECOME POWEFUL AGAIN. IF EUROPE/ THE WESTERN OLIGARCHS GLOBALIST TRILLIONARES DONT STOP PUTIN NOW, THEY WANT TO DESTROY THE WEST.

  • @yaceya

    Specific way of "reinstating Russia as great power" may be not written in DNA, however, definition of "great power" in Russian politics was pretty clear from the start: international rules are for smaller states, not for "great powers". I.e. "reinstating Russia as great power" was always about getting into a position, when Russian leaders would be subjects of politics and multiple smaller states - objects. Such way of thinking would necessarily lead to growing violence and can only be kept in check with force. It could be imagined him not attacking Ukraine if Ukraine got into NATO before Crimea was annexed. I could be imagined him not to do full scale invasion if he paid higher price for Crimea. He could be less confident in his ability to get away with things if he paid price for the way Wagner acted in Africa and Russian forces acted in Syria. So, this part, of course, is "conditional". It is conditional on response. Mindset was pretty much "we have rights to tell others what to do and those others should obey" from the start. And it was called "Russia as great power".

    The problem is we have civilians telling people what is going on, they know nothing because they studied what writers that know nothing wrote. Then they write a book of BS. Well I was a Military Police when the wall fell in Berlin and I was in Germany. I was trained about Russia because I was in training before the wall fell.
    Kiev was the original Socialist Republic. It joined with Russia and in 1918 declared it is part of Russia. Russia and Ukraine were husband and wife. They founded the USSR. Kyiv is known as the "Mother of Russian Cities".
    Putin is old (reliving past) and he wants things to go back to the days of old. He needs Ukraine to breathe life into the USSR. He was KGB in the USSR and life was good. so he wants Russia's bride Ukraine to come back. His connections to North Korea and Iran being strong is because he needs to show they are a global presence. Not going to G7.

      Putin wants Yalta-2 - just like after WW2. He wants to divide the world into spheres of influence, where he sees all former Soviet republics and Warsaw pact states within it. He basically wants a part of the world where he and his gang can rule and ravage everyone in it, like a mafia territory
