    Don’t forget the culture war stuff. The Russian Orthodox Church is more socially conservative. (You can see this in Poland too.) Homosexuality is punished, women are more “traditional”, etc. And Putin projects a cult-of-personality that people like, even if they have arobber-baron oligarchy.

    Repubs look at that stuff fondly, they’re titillated.
