Putin doesn’t have to worry about optics or popular support any more than Stalin did.

I believe you are mistaken.

Putin is not Stalin.

He doesn't have the secret police forces Stalin did.

He doesn't have the ideological commitment Stalin had from his troops.

He doesn't have the control over information Stalin had.

He doesn't have the population of young men Stalin had.

I would be very happy to be mistaken, and I hope I am.
