Many (including me) compare Putin to Hitler.
Yes, they are both political monsters, dictatorial psychopaths, geostrategic cyclophrenics and geopolitical maniacs.
Both are guilty of terrible crimes and will go down in History as brutal scoundrels.

Yet there are also huge differences between them.

Hitler was an extraordinary statesman who achieved astonishing miracles in the economy, infrastructure, rising living standards, eradicating unemployment, building a unique military industry and a super modern and staggeringly motivated and unprecedentedly inspired army.

Putin has not achieved even 1/100 of all this.
He squandered trillions that came readily to him from Russia's energy resources. The economy is obsolete, the infrastructure – crumbling, the standard of living is low, there is up to 15% hidden unemployment, the military industry produces outdated platforms and weapons, and every new product of its has almost insurmountable technological defects, not to mention its army – a complete failure, its only successes have come from PMC "Wagner" – a gang of disgusting thugs who are either pathological criminals or hardened professional bandits who have done dirty deeds and killed in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
And there is another difference – in their courage. One is a brave Führer of country, people, society and citizens; the other is a cowardly and despicable mobster – the boss of an organized crime group with a stranglehold on Russia.
Hitler remained until his last second in his bunker in Berlin and committed suicide by simultaneously breaking an ampoule of potassium cyanide with his teeth and shooting himself in the right temple with his "Walter". Let me remind you that before that he married Eva Braun, who committed suicide with potassium cyanide together with him.
Putin, we saw what a cowardly person he is – at the first slightly more tense situation, he sneakily fled as the last coward from his Moscow bunker as far away as possible. A pitiful wretch, blackmailing the world with a nuclear maul and pulling Russia down the abyss with him.
Never has such a cowardly man had so much power and such terrible means to cause catastrophe, if not on a global or continental scale, then at least on a regional and national scale. Never!
