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.

3 Peter the Great
He made Russia great! The greatest ruler in the world! He brought up Russia from medieval ages and smashed the greatest European army of that time - Sweden army headed by Carl XII
He was the only catalyst who brought Russia, then a medieval state, to the forefront of the western powers of the day, due to his unswerving program of westernization inspired by his vision and daring.
The work this single man has done is incredible!
He is the great after all

9 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
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!
He's a jerk, destroyed great country!

Brought coherence to chemistry research and its educational delivery.

He has had greater lasting global impact than communism and all that.
