Putin, a one-time KGB agent and propagandist, did last week in a speech critical of far-left U.S woke ideology at a conference in Sochi. He said that wokeness in America is no different than what took place in Russia during the 1917 revolution after the Bolsheviks assumed power and sought to remake Russian culture.
Putin mocked the new woke nomenclature of the left for calling people “parent number one and parent number two, birthing parent instead of mother, and human milk instead of breast milk because it might upset the people who are unsure of their own gender.”
“Not to mention some truly monstrous things when children are taught from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl and vice versa,” he said.
Putin, a product of the Russian revolution that brought the Communists to power, was critical of the then-ruling Bolsheviks and said that the U.S. was making the same mistakes that the Bolsheviks made in seeking to reshape humanity. And they failed.
Putin said that the woke quotas coming out of the politically correct Hollywood films are worse propaganda than what came out of the Propaganda Department of the old communist Soviet Union. “Incidentally,” Putin added, the Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of other opinions, different from their own.
“I think this should remind you of something that is happening. And we see what is happening in the Western countries. It is with puzzlement that we see the practices Russia used to have and that we left behind.”

When he's right, he's right. "Woke" is cultic behavior. The size of the cult is not what matters.
