- Strong respect, if not admiration, of wealthy people (can compensate for low-average levels of social dominance to an extent).
There's no doubt other traits, but all this is what immediately crosses my mind.
You do understand the Ukraine is every bit as traditional and homophobic as Russia? Look at the polls by nation on LGBT issues. It's also the Neo Nazi militia capital of the world and skinhead militias are pouring in now to fight comparatively diverse Russia. Ukraine is 100% White and Christian, Russia has Muslim and even Buddhist major states, Tartars, Mongols, Persians, etc. The worst racist elements in Eastern Europe are also the most anti Russian.

You don't understand Ukraine either - the Ukraine president is jewish so not 100% christian. Russia is more diverse because of area encompassed not because of acceptance of diversity.

Hilarious!
Leftists always "assign" some bizarre, false characteristics of conservatives, take it as fact, then go about "explaining" the false accusation as though it was the Gospel truth. It is the definition of "strawman tactics", which libs use continually, as they cannot face the disasters that their own party has made and has led to globe to the precipice of nuclear war. As they cannot accept the fact that liberals have created these disasters, they must create a false reality in which they absolve themselves of any responsibility and blame others to gain solace.
This is a very peculiar aspect of liberals, which I assume comes from chatting with their liberal friends in their virtue signaling echo chambers. In a contest of "one upmanship", in which the lib with the most bizarre and umbelievable contention wins, the other libs take the "new information" and run with it.
The only fascists in the US are the left wingers, who, like Putin, want to limit free speech and individual rights as a matter or course.
Libs do this same very unusual exercise of creating a false narrative and then running with it like it was common knowledge, written in stone.
If liberals REALLY KNEW what conservatives thought, they would not be liberals any longer.
Funny how thier hero, Biden, has created the very situations which have upset them, but they are unable to criticize him, as it violates the rules of the cult. Given they cannot accept reality, they make up some fantasy world in which liberals are flawless and incapable of committing all the gaffes Biden has foisted upon the world. I guess that helps a lib mentally deal with the fact that "their president" has caused so many disasters in the US and has set the entire globe into chaos.
With Biden we have:
runaway inflation soon to get worse
escalating gasoline prices
food and product shortages
open borders
runaway crime
the world in the brink of nuclear war
a "president" who is mentally unable to deal with the problems he has created
a "president" who will not cease buying Russian oil, despite calls to do so from dems and republicans alike
skyhigh fertilizer prices which will increase food prices several fold
well, I know a few Russian. I think their opinions of Putin is that he is respected. According to them, Putin is a strong leader, frank, open and surprisingly honest. He is a good manager, thoughtful and resolute. This combination makes him an attractive object of envy, defamation and libel, particularly for those who can’t meet the standard.
I used to think he was good for the Russians, but not anymore. Now, he looks like a ruthless mad man who is mentally ill. He's a war criminal, period. He has blood on his hands and majority of the people in the world have seen his true color.
It’s always very seductive when a politician says “we have been victimized by foreigners “ and “I will return our country to it’s former greatness”. That worked for Hitler, it worked for Trump and it works for Putin.

Nota single one of the conditions you list are true, except escalating gas prices.

Can you give us solid and consistent evidence that far right admires Putin? Not a single video or clip, or some idiot saying he admires Putin...but actual concrete evidence... Graham just called for Putin's assassination...is that admiration?
