Yeah - in light of the fact that Russia isn't advocating for a particular political outcome in the United States... they don't want the US to step back from the Crimea, or stop criticizing their conduct in ex-Soviet states.
They just want to divide & conquer. They don't have a preferred outcome in mind, they're happy in any future state in which the US is weaker.

He's afraid that people will rise up against the sham that passes for democracy there, and throw him out of power. To avoid that, he wants to discredit democracy elsewhere (particularly in the US, since it's held up to be the model for the world).
