~"Is Putin a hero or not or someone in-between?"~
Depends really.
Depends on what? Ya may ask.
Any answers to this question depends upon the ideological viruses possessed by the individual answering.
An average Russian, Ukrainian, American, North Korean, Pakistani, Kenyan, etc ...will likely answer very differently, as any individual anywhere likely will too.
Man I am an actively participating member of various SM sites, including discussion forum communities-the vast majority of which seem comprised of members possessed with the predominant contemporary "westernized" dichotomous political ideological viruses.
Tbh, whether it be a community staunchly adherent to the "left" or to the "right" idiocracy, in most cases it is very challenging to interact with these herd-like members due to the high reactivity & shared subconscious biases possessed by each of the individual group members, each of whom, have at some point unwittingly disregarded their intrinsic individuality and succumbed to pseudo-"self"-identification with/as the collective group entity.
I mean, in my experiences, these types typically become overtly & unwaveringly hostile from the very moment they first realize you have differing opinions than those possessed & shared by the group.
Whenever this occurs the entire group usually joins in as well. (*'Mobbing')
Mobbing sucks, when you are the singled out target of the collective. The mob tend to-(negatively)-encourage & rationalize away their mob members progressively worsening hateful, shameless & abhorrent behaviours and yet still I find emersion within these common dichotomous ideology cults to be remarkably fascinating & overall incredibly insightful.
So, ~"Is Putin a hero or not or someone in-between?"~
Imo, Vladimir Putin is merely an obsequious puppet.
It may be challenging for many to accept that Putin serves the very same Talmudic cultists who puppeteer Vladimir Zelensky, Joe Biden, Javier Milei, Donald Trump, Bill & Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Elon Musk, Greta Thunberg, George Soros, Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Benjamin Netanyahu, Klaus Schwab, Jacinda Ardern, Yuval Harari and currently almost all high status individuals world-wide.
Once upon a time, not all that long ago, puppeteers of this same Talmudic cult used, among many others, several notable puppets to orchestrate a mass blood sacrifice ritual y'all may be somewhat familiar with.
Those particular puppets used to perpetrate that Talmudic ritual were named Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini & Adolf Hitler.
These perfidious c_nts were merely actors performing their assigned roles to bring about the requisite conditions for further "justifying" perpetration of increasingly abhorrent atrocities.
That most definitely was not the first time the ancient Babylonian Talmudic parasite cultists have orchestrated all sides in order to bring about their intended mass slaughter events either.
Laugh if you want, but perhaps you might be wise to do a little research into this unfathomably heinous cult.
Because guess what....
...the same tactic as employed with "WWII" of simultaneously puppeteering our supposed "leaders" of all conflicting sides who are now performing their assigned roles on the world stage before our very eyes...is infact & indeed precisely what we are all currently witnessing unfold.
Putin and Zelensky are not enemies at all.
Neither is Trump and Biden.
Their portrayed oppositionality is all merely part of the world stage performance they are presenting to us.
Panem et circenses.
Therefore my answer to the question: "~"Is Putin a hero or not or someone in-between?"~ I'd say, none of these. Putin is nothing but a subservient pawn and like the rest of the high status Talmudic pawns, aka: Golem, Putin is a traitor to our entire species and to all life on Earth.
