Does Putin actually admire Hitler or is it different?

[Anonymous]

Ukraine released this picture when Putin started attacking them.

Yes, he's basically a dictator doing similar things.

No, his plans are different.

Something else, see comments.

Putin despises Hitler. He's fiercely patriotic to the legacy of the USSR, and Hitler was the USSR's worst enemy.

The man he clearly admires... is Stalin.

I'm sure there are things about Hitler that Putin admires, definitely from a military and/or political standpoint I would guess.

Yes he is a dictator, he is following the footsteps of Hitler. I remember years ago he was a little upset that the character in Harry Potter, Dobby was a spitting image of Putin. I think he's still upset with the West making that fictitious creature in the spitting image of President Putin.

Putin sent the Russian military into Ukraine and slaughtered Nazis. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he's not a fan.

Not at all, I think he's a patriot whether you disagree with what he's doing or not. I think if you research the history of WW2 and see how destructive Nazi Germany was towards Russia will answer your answer.

I think that's very demeaning to Adolph. Putin is a very evil man

[Pot8o]

He's a psychopath, doubt he cares

[Anonymous]

Meh. Pretty stupid comparison.

Well he is commanding his military to invade and take territory as well as kill anyone who stands in their way.
