Overall ethical score
-80.19
Reasoned summary
Social stability and low measured poverty receive limited positive weight. They are overwhelmingly outweighed by three decades of authoritarian rule and a systematic campaign of political persecution found by UN experts to include crimes against humanity.
This assessment presents six separate ethical dimensions rather than one overall moral score. Each result must be read with its evidence, plausible range, confidence, disputes, exclusions, severe-harm findings and sources.
Most significant negative evidence
The dominant evidence concerns destruction of democratic choice, political imprisonment, torture, persecution, elimination of civil society and enabling Russian military aggression.
