Putin wants to return Russia to its power and influence that it use to have, but without communism.
They might not call it "communism" anymore but Putin is certainly a big-government authoritarian in a quasi-chaotic democratic republic with an economic system that's never quite found its footing in the wake of eighty-plus years of actual communism.
I think Putin would be thrilled to hang a couple of red hammer 'n' sickle banners outside the Kremlin.
