The problem is... I'll try to formulate...
There are real reasons. Some of them are known, for example, to keep the president chair, to stay in power, to get into the history as the great defender and the great unifier, to live forever, to rule the world, etc. Some are hidden (e.g. occult ones), some are subconscious.
There are claimed reason: liberation, denazification, etc.
There are actual actions, which contradict the claimed reasons, and do not serve the real ones.
In psychology, the former is called "double bind" from which there is no escape (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bind). The latter is called mediocrity, impunity, corruption, greediness, fear, low morale, etc.
We and the whole world are trying to analyze the reasons and actions logically, but it's impossible, because there is NO logic in them.
All the posted above videos, twits, quotes are just ripples on water - far consequences of propagandas. Not "ideologies", because there is no ideology here, ideology died together with USSR, and no new proper suitable ideology has been invented yet.
