According to Putin, the fall of the Soviet Union (or Russian Empire as it really was) is the biggest catastrophe of the 20th century. I think that is what makes him so dangerous. His whole life's work has been to correct what in his mind was the worst thing to ever happen. You can't talk sense into someone like that. He knows that his time left on the Earth is finite and if he is going to avenge Russia, he has to make a move now.
