Is this the guy that Putin idolizes?
No, Putin's hero is the mass murdering sociopath, Stalin. Tsar Nicholas the 2nd was the royalty that the revolution deposed and installed (eventually) Stalin as leader.
I mean the Tsar wasn't a good guy either, but Stalin was a world-class monster and possibly the only person in history to out-murder Shitler.
