Vladimir Putin

Russia's leader for over 25 years, Putin crushed all real opposition, nationalized strategic sectors under patrimonial state capitalism, pushes anti-LGBT and traditional-values laws with the Orthodox Church, restricts Central Asian immigration, wages war on Ukraine, and censors the internet via AI in the name of digital sovereignty.
