"Lukashenko is considered a rogue and bandit, bathed his hands in blood", said in the interview with Russian Journal Austrian political scientist Gerhard Mangott.
Journalists asked him to compare Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko. Comparison was obviously not in favor of the Belarusian ruler.
"Besides, few consider him an intelligent person. The majority believes that Lukashenka has no prospective vision of the future of his small country. Putin, on the contrary, is credited with a clear vision of what he wants, as well as intelligence. The most important of all is the fact that Putin rules the great state to be reckoned with. Putin and Lukashenko are not considered as figures of the same order", he concluded.
