"his home church" the very strong Nikolas
I (who lost Crimean war, and than killed himself
) vibes are here 
the core ideology of the Moscow empire as a blend of core culture, traditions, and Orthodoxy, emphasizing a unique cultural heritage tied to the Orthodox (in reality Mongol Nestorian ) Christian faith, and a mystical georeligious vision, suggesting a belief in the empire's almost divinely ordained role and destiny. It also highlights the use of this ideology as a geopolitical strategy to justify the empire's expansionist policies. The text argues that this ideology has historical roots, linking the czars' "Holy Rus" to Putin's "Russkiy Mir" (in reality Mongol world ). Both are seen as fusing religion, nationalism, and conservative values. The text portrays the Moscow empire as seeing itself in opposition to the West, whose secular and liberal values are perceived as a threat to its distinctiveness and traditional values. The text draws a parallel between the czars' ideology and Putin's rhetoric, noting his condemnation of Western ideas like LGBTQ+ rights, feminism, and multiculturalism as "subversive decadence" and an "existential threat" to the Moscow empire.
Nicholas embraced the idea of a transnational Mongol - Moscow "civilization", just as Putin does today. A civilization uniting ethnic Muscovites and Muscovite -speaking people, comprised of a core culture, traditions and "Orthodoxy" (in reality Mongol Nestorian ) — a mystical georeligious vision as much as it was a geopolitical one. And both the czars’ Holy Rus and Putin’s Russkiy Mir — or Russian World (in reality Mongol - Moscow ) — fuse religion, nationalism and the defense of conservative values in a toxic, murky brew.
..
England and France intervened, Slavs in the Balkans failed to respond to his call for a rebellion against the sultan, and Nicholas’ military floundered.
The war was a disaster for the horde , exposing the country’s many weaknesses, including, according to Figes, “the corruption and incompetence of the command; the technological backwardness of the army and navy . . . the inability of the economy to sustain a state of war against the industrial powers; the weakness of the country’s finances; and the failures of autocracy.”
Nicholas died during that war, reportedly remorseful. His successor was forced to sign a humiliating treaty, and Moscow empire was left to mourn a quarter-of-a-million dead, with one of Nicholas’ officials questioning: “What was the point of it all?”
One wonders if there are any Kremlin officials now asking a similar question of Putin today.

Putin’s toxic brew is pure Nicholas I
He is the czar that the Russian leader most closely resembles, but also the one he most seldom mentions.
