Your Favorite Russian Leader?

[Dejanic]

Nyet, nyet. Lenin came second.

1 - Gorbachev
2 - Putin
3 - Lenin
4 - Stalin
5 - Rasputin

1:Lenin
2:Putin
3:Stalin
4:Rasputin




5:Gorbachev

[Central Slavia]

Probably Lenin, Chruscov, and now Putin.
N.I.Bucharin deserves a mention, too.

[Cameroi]

kropotkin.

[Strolingrad]

Vladimir Lenin.

[Rosov]

Leader of the country: Vladimir Lenin
General: Alexander Suvorov

[The Cadian Dominion]

My favorite Russian leader is Alexander Kolchak, hands down! (Let the flames of war rise!)

[Insane Kidney Mentality]

Vladimir Putin, b-but it's not because he's p-posing half-naked in his political campaign or anything! P-perverts!

But nah, Alexander II was cool. He sold us Alaska. *Nods*

[Shofercia]

None of them. Shitty tsars, followed by shitty USSR dictators, followed by shitty drunkard (Yeltsin) followed by shitty pseudo-dictator (Putinvedev)

Most Csars weren't terrible.

Ivan the Terrible - only became terrible when someone murdered his wife and drove him insane. People that are insane shouldn't rule countries.
Intermittent Csars - didn't really rule.
Boris Gudunov - ok, he was terrible.
Time of Troubles - no Csar at all.
Csar Michael - quite good, and underrated.
Csar Alexis - despite being very promiscuous with women, still did reasonably will.
Csar Theodore - a bit weak, but didn't really rule for a long time, and did very little, so I cannot say that he was terrible.
Regent Sophia - also decent, and a bit underrated
Csar Peter the Great - very good, but not great (cue hysteria's Alexander the Very Good)
Intermittent rulers, except Empress Elizabeth - despite Peter the III's antics, they were quite decent, with a few exceptions, and he only ruled for a year. Thankfully.
Empress Elizabeth - decent.
Empress Catherine the Great - quite good, but not great.
Emperor Paul the I - decent, and was murdered. Actually, after Empress Catherine the Great, our good, and/or decent Emperors started being murdered, so, no fair!
Emperor Alexander the I - quite horrible.
Emperor Nicolas the I - not superbly bad, but not very good either.
Emperor Alexander the II - very good, and he was murdered.
Emperor Alexander the III - very bad.
Emperor Nicolas II - extremely bad.

I won't go into Commie leaders, since all of them, except Khrushchev, who ruled for more than five years, sucked. I'll defend Khrushchev as a decent ruler though. Yeltsin was horrendous. Putin, let's see here: improved economy, standard of living, helped Russia attain stability, won wars when Russia was attacked, not a bad guy. Just needs to be a bit less repressive, but keep in mind that he is less repressive than all Russian/Soviet Leaders since Emperor Alexander the II.

[The Rebel Alliances]

Peter the Great.

Also, on the subject of the Rap Battle.

1: Lenin
2: Putin
3: Rasputin
4: Stalin
5: Gorbechev

[The God-Realm]

Lenin and Stalin were gods.

[Communists for the people]

Trotsky.

[Kalarin]

Nicholas I, just because he was the most useless ruler of Russia.

[Vareiln]

Pyotr Alexeyevich and Ivan Vasilyevich.

[Vashtanaraada]

Rykov was a good Bolshevik

[Mandicoria]

Putin is best leader for obvious reasons.

Ha!

[Shofercia]

Peter I.

Just because he was the least suckiest of all my nations leaders.

*sigh* Why can't Russia ever have any good leaders? Why does the West hog them all? Bastard Westerners, keeping all the good leaders for themselves!

What was wrong with Nevsky again? Do tell.

No, not really. Lenin signed Brest-Litovsk, did very little to prevent Stalin's rise, and didn't transfer power to the Red Army when he had the chance, which led to Stalin's rise, along with Purges, Gulags and Collectivization.

[New Rogernomics]

I don't have one.

[Old Tyrannia]

I have a great deal of sympathy for Tsar Nicholas II, even if he wasn't Russia's greatest ruler. I'd have to say he's my favourite.

[Mkuki]

I like Alexander II the most. Followed by Peter the "Great" and Catherine the "Great".

[The American Commune]

Peter the Great: he westernized Russia.

[Haydenish People]

Asking me my favorite Russian leader is like asking me my favorite Chinese leader. They were better before they had those silly socialist revolutions.

[Shofercia]

I like Alexander III the most. Followed by Peter the "Great" and Catherine the "Great".

Are you sure you have the right Alexander?

[The Godly Nations]

Tsar Peter I. His method perfectly characterise all that is great about the Russian leadership method- strong arming your policies through will and might alone.
