However, I am not sure that Putin is very pro-Russian in the nationalistic sense.

At any rate Svin thinks he is not.

But those who want to overthrow him and are aided by the "West" are probably hundred times worse than him.
He's somewhat reminscint of Franco, I think. Not a quite an ideologue but determined to do what he can to insulate his economy. In these trying times that's good enough for me anyway. Franco eventually had to cave in, but Russia is a much more robust proposition. Especially if the projections are right about the American economy about to shrivel up..
