Ask yourself why similiar pieces aren't written about the chicoms. Or Maduro. Or so many others. The media is fine with dictators. They wanna BE dictators. They pick and choose which dictators to carry water for and which dictators to try and get deposed so they can put in other dictators they WILL happily carry water for.
Sasha is somewhat of a Communist, in that his secret police retained the KGB name and he wants his little country to emulate the good stuff associated with the Soviet Union. His support base skewers older.
His support base is irrelevant to me. He’s still a dictator. As much as I like the information he gave here, he’s a kleptocratic scumbag. Buddy-buddy with Putin, another major Kleptocrat, and uses secret police to suppress his people.
Ultimately I feel like he’s no better than the Chicoms or what the Soviets were.
