Vladimir Putin’s leadership style cannot simply be defined. Vladimir Putin is neither a democrat nor a free reigning diplomat, though the word “Autocratic” seems the most likely fit. He has charm and wit which captured the Russian public in 1999. His close union with the Russian army puts his leadership style into “Autocratic” definition as he rules with supreme power within the state. Putin’s domineering role could be seen to begin when he set about creating the rigid "power vertical", as his system has become known. This form of structure stands strong against the weak opposition – keeping Putin safely in his powerful position. Though, with the scandals and warped ethics of Putin, it’s difficult to believe not more of the Russian public want a change from the old-fashioned, rigid president. Though, some may argue that defines the Russian tradition and if Putin wasn’t in the position, someone equally autocratic would be.
General Pervez Musharraf was sworn in under what was considered the fairest election to ever be held in Pakistan. He has been branded
