It is a stretch. Majority of Russian population couldn’t care less about the statehood of the former Soviet republics and nostalgia for SU is not the base of the current regime (ideology of which is a conservative nationalism very similar to MAGA). This nostalgia existed in 1990s too and has same nature and features as in Germany.
