People are mainly "never completely solved narcissist cases" so they love the sociopaths with no empathy.
No rocket science really.

It's possible that people also externalize their worst impulses onto the leaders they support. So racist dogwhistles are effective because people can support leaders who use them as a guilt-free way of expressing what they really want to say with plausible deniability.

Ukraine's former Ambassador to Austria, Olexander Scherba described Col Mizintsev as the “Butcher of Mariupol,” sharing an intercepted audio clip between himself and a junior officer.
A translation of the audio clip, shows Col Mizintsev addressing the officer for condemning the soldier for not wearing his uniform, calling him “scum of the highest order”.
“Why is his face not mutilated yet? Why hasn't anyone cut off his ears? Why isn't this moron limping yet?” Col Mizintsev is recorded saying.
“At night, when walks out, unknown assailants jump him. Just jump him over and over, beating him in the face with a bottle and then pouring another litre into it.”
This is him ranting about an officer not disciplining one of his own soldiers!
Mutilate him! cut his ears off! glass his face!
Fucking choice piece of human we're dealing with here.
Ukraine is Nazis? These Russian officers are like something straight out of the Waffen SS. I'm just waiting to hear about this guy rounding people up in a barn and having his soldiers throw grenades in.

And me I'm referencing a tale (not history) related to german Freikorps behaviour (in Eastern Europe) after the I WW. Bodies in a well and a grenade.
Just to relate the russian army behaviour to the proto-nazi army.

A Russian soldier reportedly drove over his colonel with a tank, furious about the bungled war with Ukraine.
Anger among Russian soldiers is growing, with two other service members caught venting about strongman Vladimir Putin's “bulls**t ” invasion of Ukraine amid reports of heavy losses.
The Russian soldier who was behind the wheel of the tank “blamed the commander of the group, Col. Yury Medvedev, for the deaths of his friends,” Ukrainian journalist Roman Tsimbalyuk said on Facebook.
“Having waited for the right moment, during battle, he ran over the commander with a tank as he stood next to him, injuring both his legs,” he wrote, the Daily Beast reported.
“Now Col. Medvedev is in a hospital in Belarus, waiting for monetary compensation for combat wounds received during the ‘special military operation to protect the Donbass.' Colonel Medvedev was awarded the Order of Courage,” he wrote.
Although there was no independent corroboration of the claim, footage released by Chechen leader and close Putin ally Ramzan Kadyrov showed Medvedev being transported to a hospital, the New York Post reports.
Taking out every officer ranked Colonel and higher is something I support. One thing mentioned in another article about the dead generals - almost 1/3rd of all generals Russia sent to Ukraine are now apparently dead - is that they'll often have secret information about the actual operational goals, which is stuff they don't leak to their subordinates. That operational knowledge of WTF the point of maneuvers is, is lost when the general is killed.

Financial Times saw it fit to publish a story about the plight of the Russian billionaire class:

The Russian former academic, politician and businessman — worth £4.5bn last month, according to government estimates — now says he does not know if he can pay even the most basic of bills.
His life changed overnight, he says with a snap of his fingers. “Our business is completely destroyed. Everything which we were building for 30 years is now completely ruined. And we have to somehow start a new life.”
It is a life for which he may not be prepared. “Will l be allowed to have a cleaner, or a driver? I don't drive a car . . . maybe my stepdaughter will drive. We don't understand how to survive,” he says, speaking at a table laden with fruit and snacks in his London flat, with its double-height dining room.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine:

Oh well, billionaires now discovering real life issues is somewhat we can thank Putin for.....the tsar abandoning his Versailles Court.
