I think he’s trying to appeal to communists, Russian nationalists and the in-betweens all at once, but idk
Yes, exactly like this. Ideology is often secondary to the historical forces that bind people together
This.
Trying to keep the balance of respecting all parts of Russia’s past has been the leitmotif of his government’s internal propaganda for ages. Commies want to bite his head off every time he cites Ilyin and nationalists want to do that when he says he still likes some socialist ideas and kept his CPSU party card, praises Stalin or drops that “geopolitical catastrophe” line about USSR. It might be boring or whatever, but public face of this regime is just populism.
