No, Putin's hero is the mass murdering sociopath, Stalin. Tsar Nicholas the 2nd was the royalty that the revolution deposed and installed (eventually) Stalin as leader.

I mean the Tsar wasn't a good guy either, but Stalin was a world-class monster and possibly the only person in history to out-murder Shitler.
