Brezhnevs USSR was pretty comfy by the standards of the USSR.

>>3043333
Clueless incompetent idiot

>>3043301
Does Stolypin (sp?) count?

If not, I'm going with Yeltsin.

Alexander II reeee

>>3043339
maybe, but he wasn't an asshole

>>3043333

Nice quads but he threw millions of lives away in a war that he and the Russian army knew they were ill-prepared for. Not a bad man but extremely incompetent and negligent.

ANDROPOV!

>Peter the Great wasn't an asshole
He tortured and killed his own son and made divisions of children fight for his own amusement. He was a great guy and all, but he was an asshole.

Also, Brezjnev

>>3043466
Well that's just pathetic

Yes, you can invade other countries and not be an asshole

>>3043711
Not when you oust their elected officials and break up their liberal movement. They just wanted reform. Instead they got an iron fist and tanks.

>>3043722
Good.

In all honesty, he was a bit of an asshole, but in the grand schema of Russian leaders he wasn't the worst.

Aleksandr Suvorov was a pretty cool guy

>>3043301
This guy definitely does not sound like an asshole. Actually, he sounds more like a monk than a political leader.

Gorbachev. The guy genuinely seemed to want to end the Cold War, and took huge political risks trying to work things out with Reagan.

CORN FATHER

Who /revisionist/ here

>>3043301
Gorbachev for sure, I dont think the Cold War would have ended so relatively peacefully were it not for him being willing to concede so much ground. His one mistake was not breaking character and shooting that drunk Yeltsin while he had a chance.
>>3043333
incompetent ruler but was a good guy personally

He was surprisingly decent and had a good plan.

Then... then Stalin came...

Lol at all these plebs who think the Communist USSR is the same thing as Russia

Get in faggot, we're killing germans and hopefully avoid getting raped by mongols

>>3043333
He wasn't cut out for ruling, but he was a genuinely good dude and recognized that he embodied the state and thus should think of the state first no matter what.

>>3043975
Indeed he was a rus'.

Literally kys if you seriously believe Stalin did anything wrong

>>3043975
He's the reason they're even called Russians, you cuck.

>>3043942
The impression I get from this pic is that it's producer was a Stalinist and thinks Gorbachev is gulag-worthy, not that Gorbachev was a good guy

>>3044269
Gorbachev was gulagworthy

>>3044302
Gulag is far too merciful a punishment for Gorby

>>3043908
>Gorbachev for sure
one of the most corrupt men in russian history?

>>3043301
I want to say krushev but he was so clueless he genuinely believed not liking communism was a mental illness

>>3043301
All of them are better than the limp-wristed limp-dicked western "leaders".

>>3043725
>but in the grand schema of Russian leaders he wasn't the worst
I can't dispute that. It's not even close. That's not saying a whole lot though. Other than the Mongols, Aztecs, and Assyrians, name one nation/country/empire that has had more asshole rulers than Russia. I'm excluding those three because they constantly try to be dicks, which puts them in a category all their own.

>>3044555
Not liking Stalin is literally a mental illness. The only cure is bullets.

>>3043339
Not to mention a faggot. Most of his court was filled with fags just like the Bourbons in pre-Revolutionary France.

>>3044638

Pretty dickish, but as far as Russian rulers go, she's great.
