Putin is a mixed bag, mostly positive, yet we shouldn't see anyone man as flawless, or tying our hope in spreading, or preserving Orthodoxy to one man, the only hope should be Christ, his church, and his saints.
Vladimir Putin Legacy who knows what it will be, yet he done good for the church, like banning inappropriate contentHub on internet, allowing the enforcing of blasphemy law in some parts of Russia, the crackdown on KittyRiot(if I can use a PG term for this non-Christian blasphemous feminist group) , promoted the building of churches and restoration of church property, help come to the rescue of Assad in Syria (the protector of the Antiochian flock) , crackdown on homosexual propaganda, etc.
On the other hand there is more left to be desired, as Vladimir Putin recently stoped the building of a church in a park recently due to polls, and protests. Vladimir Putin didn't help the church get back property, notably a mesuem in Saint Petersburg, under Putin abortion is still legal, and the issues of Oligarchs, and corruption remain a issue that hurt the Russian faithful souls. Divorce also remain high.
The Church & state issue is not always on the same page, many times they are when it comes to protecting the flock.
Still with Putin time in power winding down, I think we need to remember, as good as one can be, we need to put Christ , and his church first.
