As I recall Putin lamented seeing the US making the same economic mistakes the Bolsheviks did, and tried to tell us that it won’t work.

Given that Russia has a European-style welfare system, a Tsarist/Leninist political system, where political opponents are killed and a combination of revanchist and irredentist dreams of universal empire, it's unclear how Putin is in any position to warn anyone about Bolshevism, which is anyhow mainly about starving tens of millions to death in order to kill off segments of the population opposed to the central government. Russia's the one with the problem leader - Putin's about to follow the footsteps of Napoleon and Kaiser Wilhelm II, by leading his country off the cliff into a disastrous war. The difference today is that if a nuclear conflagration results, it will lead to the end of Russia as a geographical, political and linguistic entity, as its neighbors rush in to exact their revenge for centuries of humiliations and massacres at Russia's hands.
