Vladimir Putin is depicted here in the costume of Boris Gudonov, a powerful Czar and subject of a somewhat bloody opera. Czars and commissars have mixed easily in Russian politics, where strong authoritarian leaders have been feared, but appreciated.

Very creative concept and execution. You're right about Putin's being treated as another tzar by those still deprived and unable to adjust to fast changes. Many but not all.
