Putin is not remorseful but proud of his "patriotic" KGB past. He does not celebrate the collapse of the Soviet Union, but laments it! He said, "whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart."
Actually Putin said, “Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain.”
And
“History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.”

Yeah, Putin said.
There was a saying in Poland during communism time - if the party says, that they are going to take something away from you - they will. If they say, that they are going to give you something - they say.
