See, that's why reading Western propaganda gives you a very skewed picture of what's really going on in Russia.
A BIGGER picture.
And the bigger picture IS;
"According to IOM estimates, for many years Russia has held second place, behind the United States, for the number of foreigners present in the country. It is also second in Europe, after Germany, for the number of migrants. According to the OECD, Russia has the highest number of illegal migrants in the world, comprising almost 7% of the country’s population; whereas legal migrant workers comprise 2.5% of the population."
But BBC ( et al) will tell you of course only about those who are departing.
Not about those who are trying to get into Russia.
So what this is all about?
People from the third world countries are trying to move into Russia in droves, to improve their lot, as they try to move in the US.
( Which means that from the point of view of standards of living, Russia is a desirable place)
While the educated Russians are leaving ( and there is a couple of reasons for that, but I would think that political reasons are the major ones.)
I am an American and I like Putin. I would rather have Putin as a leader than Biden. What about you folks?
No you're a Russian bot. Here's what a real American sounds like - I'd party with Putin. That's right ... I would. He has cool toys and I bet he's a wildman when drunk ... well maybe more so before he started to die from blood cancer but let's table that one for now. I bet a buzzed Putin would say 'Da!' if I asked him to let me drive a T-90 tank, crush some cars and do donuts in the road. He might even let me shoot the gun into the woods. Then when the party was over I'd stab him right in the neck with a pencil like John Wick. With a PENCIL!!
If you wouldn't stab Putin in the neck with a pencil then you're a bot. Bet you like China and Xi too. More proof of bot-edness.
Like him or hate him, Putin cleaned up Russia from the mess it was under Yeltsin.
He did a lot of infrastructure investment, in part to develop trade with China. But there were local benefits as well. Oh, and he revamped the business tax structure, to encourage new businesses. Yeltsin had always promised to do that, but never did. The result was, that new businesses would fold right after tax time.

I did not vote for Biden, OP. But let me not mince words with you. Simply put, the statement in your OP is that of a Traitor to these United States of America, and to our sacred Constitution.
Vladimir Putin is a vicious Totalitarian wannabe. He rules by brutal force. He is not cunning, brave, or intelligent. He is merely conniving, brutish, and violent. Under Putin's system of government, you will be stripped of your rights and freedoms, and if you reject the system of government imposed upon you, you will be taken, imprisoned, or be killed by the State police.
I am sick and tired of people entertaining / romanticizing the notion of dictatorship, a place of hopelessness. No way out. Do you desire the whole world to be hopeless then? Are you embracing hopelessness and self-defeat?
America stands for individual rights and freedom. On the other hand, under a dictatorship, you will gain nothing, but lose everything. Dictatorships want nothing but power. They will destroy everything in their pathway to achieve it. Once they have absolute power, they will use it in such a way that nobody can ever remove it from them. Game over, humanity.
Btw, if you think I am some globalist, no. No I am not. Nobody, not even the USA, should run the world. Never. It is too dangerous to give any entity that power. Even if such an entity was good, pure, right. No. An agenda could be forced down the throats of the world population who would have no recourse against a world power. Ultimately, the world may (sadly) always be a Mexican standoff / Cold War-esque. Perhaps, instead the world may be divided into spheres that have merely transactional relationships with each other. That would be a much better outcome. Balance.
But, we also cannot entertain the idea of dictatorship / strongman. It is extremely dangerous, to the point of suicide.
Perhaps it is just that you very strongly dislike Biden as president. That is a perfectly reasonable opinion to have. I am not a fan either. I myself did not vote for Biden.
I really hope you would want the world to fall into the hands of unchecked Tsars, Kings, and Emporers.
