He did a piss poor job of being a leader. Imagine you are 20 years in your dictatorship and the country is in the condition russia is right now. He could have done sooo much more. He could have been a beacon of light. But he chooses to be a pile of shit. So when ever he seems others struggling, he will add oil to the fire to make them more miserable. He can not stand how every other country around him progressed and grew and was successful, but he was not able to because of his bad leadership. He will drag down everyone around him, so nobody can see how low he is. It is a distraction at this point. If he can not be a successful and loved leader, nobody should. The russian way to deal with complexes. And Trump is the same. They love destroying things if they can not get praise for their low efforts.
Not that I can think of… it’s theoretically possible but dictatorships tend to have a highly centralized governance structure, and so the incentive is to distribute wealth and power to the smallest group of people possible. This makes it easier to retain power but generally leaves the interests of ordinary people ignored.

Sadly, that counts for a lot of Russians as well. I’ve grown up with Russians, that got out in the very early 90s. They where probably the most lovable people I knew. Extremely friendly, very open and fair.
Nowadays, most Russians that come out of Russia are not that. They do exactly what you describe. To everything and everyone.

Kind of like when Katie Britt complained about crime in Alabama. Which party has controlled Alabama politics for decades now, Katie?
It’s Joebama, duh.
I don’t disagree with you but the same could be said about Chicago
I mean, is there an example of a benevolent dictatorship?
