I have to call shenanigans on this one, Dis. Here are some of the reasons why I say that. I basically support what this article says regarding the Soros/Putin dynamic. I don't support the pro-Soros slant.
Why does Vladimir Putin dislike George Soros?
Putin resents Soros for opposing and undermining undermining the USSR. Putin has famously lamented the passing of the USSR.

Here is another perspective, showing that his actions belie some of his words:
If the Soros-backed groups are successful in defanging Burismas gas production, they will ironically accomplish the very thing Soros claims he opposes: Ukrainian dependence on Russia.
Soros, a prominent funder of left-wing causes in the United States and Europe, is a vocal critic of Vladimir Putins regime. Hes also a proponent of Ukrainian independence. It remains a mystery why he seems to think that rendering the Ukraine wholly reliant on Moscow will advance that countrys freedom.
