I'd argue that Ukraine, prior to the 2022 invasion, was an immense threat to the Russian government. Ukraine was a "brother nation" that had kicked out their dictator in 2014, in a revolution known locally as Maidan, and had since seen economic growth and lower inequality.

Unless Ukraine is suppressed by Russia* the Russian people may start to look at Ukraine as a role model for how to get rid of their own dictator.

*Still a possibility, the war is almost a stalemate right now.

Trust me, many Russians have such deep concept for Ukraine, they'd rather die than admit they're looking at it as a role model.

But was that the case a month before the invasion?

Typo. I meant contempt.

That's what I assumed your typo was intended to be. The question stands.
