Russia has always seen itself as regional superpower.
This is something that the country had been trying to achieve for ages with mixed success.
The 90s was time of transition but the aspiration toward restoring or finally realising this goal was always there.
Also decades of communist rule in Russia cant be simply
brushed away...Putin probably knew it very well judging by his use of election propaganda and general populistic behavior.
