That's not what I'm saying at all...in fact I believe that Putin is trying to rebuild the old Tsarist Russian Empire.
Also, there are a bunch of folks on this board and elsewhere who are claiming that Putin is a Commie and is trying to rebuild the Soviet Union. He's not...he lost his Communist ideology a long time ago, and is styling himself as a new Tsar of a revived Russia. I have not once heard him mention Marx, Lenin, or world revolution. Instead, he's trumpeting Russian nationalism to rally his country behind him. That is not Communism.
I think the issue is empire, but if your opinion is that the lifelong Communist and KGB official wants to be more of a dictator than the usual Communist, and that also goes for the largely KGB leadership of the state church, I haven’t seen any big arguments about that yet.
I don’t know how you can so sure yet what the long term goal is of the hidden KGB, but right now I guess it is just opinions, I haven’t personally noticed that Communism is the issue being focused on here.
