You are almost correct. But Putin doesn’t want Russia to be USSR,

He wants rule the countries that used to be part of the USSR. He wants them to be part of Russia. He wants Russia to be a serious military threat to the rest of the planet like the USSR was.

he wants to be in power entire his life and after death.

Putin wants to achieve what Stalin did and surpass him in terms of having a stranglehold on power in Russia.

People who want Russia to be USSR do it not because they want to be “powerful and feared” but because in USSR there was decent healthcare outside of Moscow

In some places. In other places they tested nuclear bombs in your backyard, and you were totally fucked. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semipalatinsk_Test_Site#Hea…

I did not mean that Putin wants the standard of living in Russia to be like it was under the USSR. I meant that Putin wants Russia to have the presence that the USSR had on the international stage and corresponding respect.
