From what my Russian friends told me: Putin is a neo czarist. He has been preaching the "evils of western influences" for 30 years and trying to revive the Russian Empire. "As Marxism is a German ideology and was imported by the Germans to cause the Russian Empire to implode into civil war and close the western front in WWI to destabilize the Russian Empire it is inherently flawed and evil" : the "mighty Russian" people endured "western Marxism" and are still proud of their cultural symbolism from that time period as they made the art not the "evil westerners who tricked them into attempting communism".
If you would like more sourced information about this topic, I would advise you to read the foundations of geopolitics.
