I'm always amazed how the public opinion of putin ranges from "evil dictator" to "clever politician".

To become an evil dictator, it's often necessary to be a clever politician.

I had trouble putting this in words. By "clever politician" I mean people seeing Putin on TV or something and saying, "Ah, thats very clever" or even "Pretty amusing how he dealt with/did x". Media coverage in Central Europe is always very critical towards Putin, and while their stories may be distorted in some respects, I still believe them about many civilian rights beeing violated under his influence.

Isn't it the same for every politician?
