How many times do we have to point that obvious fact out?

All he wants is to be the new Czar of Russia

You are talking about back when he was head of the KGB

Putin is now a multi billionaire thought to control hundreds of billions which makes him the richest single man in the world. He is a capitalist.

All he wants is to be the new Czar of Russia

He wants his place in history, as does xi.

Technically he already has one, but ultimately what kind of place are you thinking?

Although I am not a fan of communism, I miss Gorbachev.

Tolerating an ideology worries you more than actual bloodshed.
Noted.

And I have a bone to pick with supporting a dictator who behaves like the Nazi in 1938 did - even if he's not wearing swastikas.

Many of your Polish countrymen would find the comparison in bad taste given Hitler labelled Poles as subhumans with 5 million dying at the hands of the Nazis.

Your attempts to compare Putin with Hitler aren't really appropriate.

Hitler caused the deaths of an estimated total of 70–85 million people, or about 3% of the 1940 world population (est. 2.3 billion). Deaths directly caused by the war (including military and civilian fatalities) are estimated at 50–56 million, with an additional estimated 19–28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine.

Putin in comparison hasn't touched the hair of a single Polish person and while he has killed people it seems to be mostly his own people the Russians with Ukrainians coming in 2nd.

What Russia controls in Ukraine?
As of today Russia continues to illegally occupy Ukraine's Autonomous Republic of Crimea (26 081 km²), the city of Sevastopol (864 km²), certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions (16799 km²) — in total 43744 km² or 7,2% of the territory of Ukraine.

Cruel efforts under Stalin to impose collectivism and tamp down Ukrainian nationalism left an estimated 3.9 million dead. At the height of the 1932-33 Ukrainian famine under Joseph Stalin, starving people roamed the countryside, desperate for something, anything to eat.16 Apr 2019

How Joseph Stalin Starved Millions in the Ukrainian Famine

The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомо́р, romanized: Holodomor, IPA: [ɦolodoˈmɔr];[2] derived from морити голодом, moryty holodom, 'to kill by starvation'),[a][3][4][5] also known as the Terror-Famine[6][7][8] or the Great Famine,[9] was a famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians. It was a large part of the wider Soviet famine of 1932–1933. The term Holodomor emphasises the famine's man-made and allegedly intentional aspects such as rejection of outside aid, confiscation of all household foodstuffs and restriction of population movement. As part of the wider Soviet famine of 1932–1933 which affected the major grain-producing areas of the country, millions of inhabitants of Ukraine, the majority of whom were ethnic Ukrainians, died of starvation in a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented in the history of Ukraine.[10] Since 2006, the Holodomor has been recognized by Ukraine[11] and 15 other countries as a genocide of the Ukrainian people carried out by the Soviet government.[12]

Early estimates of the death toll by scholars and government officials varied greatly.[13] A United Nations joint statement signed by 25 countries in 2003 declared that 7–10 million perished.[14] Current scholarship estimates a range of 4 to 7 million victims,[15] with more precise estimates ranging from 3.3[16] to 5 million.[17] According to the findings of the Court of Appeal of Kyiv in 2010, the demographic losses due to the famine amounted to 10 million, with 3.9 million direct famine deaths, and a further 6.1 million birth deficits.[18]

Whether the Holodomor was genocide is still the subject of academic debate, as are the causes of the famine and intentionality of the deaths.[19][20][21] Some scholars believe that the famine was planned by Joseph Stalin to eliminate a Ukrainian independence movement.[10][22] Others suggest that the man-made famine was a consequence of Soviet industrialisation.[23][24][25]

Ahem... I am in Poland. In constant contact with my Polish countrymen. I precisely know what my countrymen find in good or bad taste.
Comparing Putin to Hitler is very mainstream here - especially to the time when in 1938 and 1939 Hitler was claiming and annexing more and more and the West did nothing more than "officially not recognizing" it.

It's been more or less mainstream here since Georgia in 2008, btw, but the direct invasion now chased every doubt away.
