 I have compared them both scientifically, and it is actualyl proven that Soros society would be a nicer one, than Putins. If you step away from the main cities in russia, the people in the country side live under close to medieval living conditions that would make all americans revolt.
 

That is an unfair comparison. Putin inherited a country on the brink of collapse. He stabilised it and produced reasonable growth. Many of his problems have been caused by external pressures, which do not exist for the US. Not least of which is USA enforced sanctions.
Experience in Africa show us that trying to impose liberal democracy on countries, without the social framework to handle it, can be catastrophic. Yes, Putin is a tyrant, but I suspect, currently, Russia needs a tyrant.

That's what you get with a kleptocracy and an authoritarian system built to exploit the people and enrich its leaders.

You'll have to spell out if you are talking about the USA or Russia. Today I was reading about Cryptocurrency billionaires trying to manipulate the US democratic process to remove a senator seeking to regulate them.
FWIW, I don't understand why Soros is presented as an arch villain.
