PROFESSION: DICTATEUR

Kim Jong-Un, Bachar el-Assad, Poutine, Erdogan, Dutertre Profession? Dictator. If this noun can designate Hynkel, the devilish yet funny despot played by Charlie Chaplin, it names, first of all, real figures that arouse fantasises and fear because of their psychotic and violent personality, their crazy greed of money and power

Who are the dictators of today and what are their relations with democratic countries? While nowadays we lose our political marks, this portraits gallery helps us to understand what is a dictatorship and how to fight against. Because masks of dictatorship are often reassuring, subtle and misleading.

Emmanuelle Raimondi classifies all these dictators: the heirs (Kim Jon-un, Bachar El-Assad, Raúl Castro ), the Soviet empire nostalgics (Vladimir Putin, Ramzan Kadyrov ), the changing African dictators (Isaias Afewerki, Omar el-Béchir ), the fake Democrats (Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi, Nicolás Maduro )

Emmanuelle Raimondi was a journalist before working for French National Assembly and Senate. She is a traveller and an history lover, and is very concerned by environmental and political issues.
