Correct. Putin, as described in Russian media, envisions a new world order where “the 500 year domination of the Anglo-Saxons is over”, a Russia extended to the boundaries of the pre-Revolution Russian empire, and power divided among the EU, Russia, China, with lesser power centers in Africa and South America.
We are now seeing the exact same thing among some self-described conservatives except in reverse. If anyone on the left is in favor of something, we automatically should take the opposite position no matter how ridiculous it may be. And that's how we end up with some "conservatives" rooting for the restoration of the Soviet Union.
