Just slightly? He has an extremely negative view of the 1917 revolution. I'm not saying he's the worst leader on the planet right now or in history or anything.
Hell no. Alexander did a bunch of pogroms that killed millions of Jews. Then he is made a bunch of errors when it came to wars he decided to fight. Those errors made him become less of an absolutist monarchist but it made things worse. He sent out icons of his face instead of the social changes he promised. And that's how you get your whole family killed by your own people. Putin is not at that point and frankly I never think he will. I don't have a great view on Putin but he's no fucking Romanov.
Fair points for sure. I wasn't saying he was as bad as him just to clarify. He's just pretty far from being a principled Marxist or anything and has some questionable views of 1917.
Isn't Putin basically the equivalent of a new Romanov?

For reasons other than Putun not ruling as a monarch?

The Romanovs being monarchs was their whole deal
