Well I hope you understand that Putin is very rational  and non dogmatic on most things and I hope you dont overestimate his willingess to tolerate hate.

I do not conflate racism and nationalism...but its better to stay away from overt association to achive more for less.

It has bad associations for sovoks and Russia hating liberals. But their opinions don't concern me.

I dont think what Putin is doing should be called Nationalism that word has too much bad associated with it.

Russian Revivalism is a better term that harkens back to Emperor Alexander 3rd.
