. In last 100 years it ranks. Worst rulers in last 100 years on the continent: Hitler Stalin Putin Mussolini Russia got half the list of worst dictators. See, they are not just oil producers - evil is their second export. |
Ceaușescu? |
Where does modernity start in your calendar? Pre-Iraq or post? |

OMG he was born in Imperial Russia, even if he was of Georgian ethnicity. He joined the Russian socialist party, long before there was a Soviet Union.

If you are going to be pedantic, be accurate. |
We don't have a single Ethnic American president, but they are all American Presidents. |
