Thing is, Putin didn't cheat his way into the President's seat. I have reasons to believe that he is an honest, as honest as a KGB spook can be, man who fell into a position he never thought he'd hold, and over the course of the last 25 years, he was shaped into what he is now and in a position of power which always hangs in a certain balance only understandable by those who've been exposed to that universe.
It's a pretty long discussion, tbh. In short -- old party, komsomol, part of whom became nouveau riche oligarchs, foreign agents, chicoms, high levels grifters, CIA as part of the globopedo cabal, etc. are all gunning for the control of the Russian resources including the population and the markets.
He is the only man who was able to assemble a team that can hold all of that back and buy Russia time to recover and strengthen its positions internally as well as externally. (I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of Trump-Putin coalition in some foreseeable future.)
A position like that doesn't come without some shady shit that many simple-minded, single-tracked folk would consider "corruption" whereas it's nothing more than part of the struggle to protect the country from vultures, snakes, and other types of vermin. That's more or less all.
