IMHO it's all about Putin.
царь Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин

That reads "Czar Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin" in Russian. He wants to be the Czar of Russia.

“He wants to be the Czar of Russia.”

Ask him what happened to the last Czar.

He was Prince of Rus’ (as Russia was known way back when) in the early 12th century. IINM, he claimed descent from a Byzantine princess whose surname was “Monomachos,” so he added that name to his.

Great. We paid for them to scrape the older subs so that can just go and build newer shiny ones.

Dictionaries spell it BOTH ways in English.

cцарь Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин = Czar/Tsar Putin's entire name.

THAT'LL cross your eyeballs fast.
