That people in America find him attractive only shows what a sorry state our country is.
He has some conservative values. Remember, his organization has run the Soviet Union, including its present remnant from a certain socially conservative position. Children for example, were not taught sex, homosexuality was a criminal offense, people in management positions were expected to be good family men, girls were taught modesty, art was supposed to be realistic and decent, etc. In his task of reassembling the USSR he finds Russia somewhat nostalgic of that. That is all.

In fact you have to learn further. Gay pride has started in 1920s Russia, they had their Sandra Flukes at the time, sex indeed was taught at school, lesbians and single mothers were installed in both civilian and military positions ahead of family men, girls were taught to be “collective wifes”, and most of the weird liberal arts are rooting from 1920s Russia, too. About that time they have started with “equal opportunity officers” aka commissars in the military and attacks on religion (thus islam was targeted on per with the rest).
