Unless the outcome of elections in Russia is completely controlled by Putin, people do carry responsibility for their government's policies to some degree.

An extremely minor degree.

I had to discuss for months with a mate, who insisted proposing that "Bolsonaro [would be] responsible for the actions of Lula, and Lula [would be] responsible for the actions of Bolsonaro" (actually much worse). And this is just a formulation that should show a paradox; other complexities exist that in the proposed idea of "responsibility" are overridden.
