      1. We're used to this but Trump's open admiration for Putin is remarkable. Nor is it a quirk of his personality. There's a wider swath of right wing opinion that is quite fairly described as Putin friendly.https://twitter.com/dabbs346/status/1496647138738159624 …

      2. There's a Resistance Liberal narrative focusing on Trump as explanation for this Putin fandom ("Putin's puppet"). This has always struck me as both too conspiratorial and ignoring the much longer tradition of ideological affinity between USA right & Russian authoritarianism

          3. Russia as a bulwark against liberalism goes back to Metternich, if not earlier. This was briefly eclipsed under communism but even then there were a few figures, notably the fascist agitator Francis Parker Yockey, who looked to Russia with love.

          4. The roots of right-wing Russophilia are complex, mixing elements of anti-liberalism and white supremacy (sometimes in tension). Steve Bannon perhaps got to the nub by saying, admiringly, "Putin ain't woke."https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla/status/1496678275975897089 …

          who was that one dictator who was ruthlessly cracking down on "drug dealers" or whatever. Duterte? I vaguely remember Trump slobbering all over him. There's more examples I'm not remembering.

          If you experience both (white) racial & gender anxiety in today's world, there are few leaders for you. Putin and Orban are the only ones I can think of -- aggressively white, heterosexual strongmen. Poland might be the only other.

          Ukrainians are White people. Does this complicate the issue?

          No. They mostly care about having absolute power and wielding it absolutely.

          1/ I agree. The book that I have coming out in the Fall with University of Wisconsin Press, *Illiberal Vanguard: Populist Elitism in the United States and Russia*, is all about this.

          2/ I do think, however, that Trump became a vector for direct Russian influence with his efforts to build a real estate empire in the Russian Federation. The oligarchs in that country were only too happy to dangle that prospect in front of him, for political purposes.
