I'm not a big believer of the point he tries to make that Putin really believes and follows Ilyin. All power structures find philosophical reasoning to underpin how they are handling their power. Sure Putin has read some Ilyin (nobody reads it all), sure he finds lots of synergy in it with how he is managing his power. However Putin's style was formed prior to reading Ilyin and was therefore formed in a different manner. Ilyin is the perfect intellectual wrapping for it, not the inspiration.
