Ilyin is a nazi, if you don’t know. Purist.
@TimothyDSnyder ‘s book The Road to Unfreedom couldn’t be more relevant. The Audible version is amazing, highly recommend.

Snyder “In an article published in Moskovskie Novosti in 2012, Putin envisioned Russia overcoming the European Union and bringing its members into a larger entity that would extend from Lisbon to Vladivostok.” Why don’t leaders get this Putin won’t stop until he’s stopped

Putin and the entire Russian military are a bunch of fat, spoiled, soft dinosaurs who look to past days of "glory" to give them meaning today, but doing so is another in a series of miscalculations.
