The Top Ten

1 Vladimir Putin Vladimir Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012, succeeding Dmitry Medvedev. He was also President from 2000-2008.

I support Vladimir Putin, under whose watch the oligarchs are put in check (if not outright arrested), Russian army regains ability to project power on a global scale, quality of life in Russia is on the rise, new military technologies being developed, all national debt is paid-off (Russia's debt level is now 3-5 %), under Putin, Russian economy is not collapsing DESPITE coordinated economic sanctions, new developments in economy and space technologies, Russian population has started growing.

Definitely deserves to be in top 10! He transformed Russia form a degrading country on the brink of extinction to a world superpower again.

This guy is a badass, compared to are lazy imperialist leaders here in the war mongering West.

YES GOOD PRESIDE

10 Mikhail Gorbachev Mikhail Gorbachev

Gorbachev is an arse who brought down the first nation in Russian history that actually tried to improve the lives of its citizens. Now, Russia is controlled by the bourgeoisie thugs and many women have to choose between prostitution and unemployment if they want to survive when they could've gotten decent jobs and homes under Socialism. - DieGedankenSindFrei

He's a jerk, destroyed great country!

Gorbachev tried to save an economically crippled USSR with his reforms. It wasn't his fault that Yeltsin stabbed him in the back and screwed over the people of the Soviet Union... come on people!
