Have you ever seen people say Vladimir Putin is a good leader?

I hear he assassinates his political opposition, he bans people from making memes about him, plus the "no gay propaganda" law. I watched a documentary about being gay in Russia, it's a fucking war zone. It's a completely homophobic country, people get outed by groups of homophobic gangs, they get beaten up, anyone who tries to speak out against it gets arrested.
So how much more do I need to know to believe Putin is an absolute Tyrant? My younger brother is very informed, he reads a ton of news, he could argue about foreign politics and tell you about his favorite economist. He fucking says Putin is a good leader, I see people on facebook saying Putin has done great things for Russia. What the fuck? I guess that's not enough dirt on a guy to make him an awful person.
I've heard him called a thug and a gangster from a few people.

Putin is the leader Russia deserves, but not the one it needs.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

Russia has always been a country ruled by tyrants. Their history is fascinatingly harsh and bloody, and Putin? He fits their culture. There's a lot more complexity behind where Russia is at right now (economically, the story is really not good)... but:
Even if Redbeard intended it as a throwaway comment... he is right. Russia deserves Putin.
And you know what's interesting...? Russia may even need him. Putin HAS done great things for Russia... But he's also failed greatly for Russia in other places... misplays following good plays.
...
His being a tyrant... doesn't mean he isn't a good leader. He is a thug. He is harsh. He's hardly good for Russia's image in 'the West'... but he has to be, he has to be, and doesn't have to be.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

How can I explain to you the psychology and culture of such a unique people within a singular post... with words that don't even exist in the english language...?
Well, let's just have fun with it, then

To first understand who people really are... you first have to understand how to laugh at them.
