One man steadying Russia is not enough. He has a big problem with the lack of institutions.

Such rulers like Putin have a tendency to stay in power too long and at the same time not creating institutional mechanism to establish standards for governance.

It's called being a British aristocrat and a product of his time. We're all hypocrites after all. Churchill loved the British Empire and in 1947 that empire, which was already greatly weakened by the end of WWI, ceased to exist.
