President
Vladimir Putin was pictured in hell on the cover of The
Economist's last
issue for 2012,
floating along in a fiery river with Syrian President Bashar Assad,
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
and the euro under the heading "A rough guide
to Hell."
The issue,
set to hit newsstands Dec. 22, also shows U.S. President Barack Obama
and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the cartoon, with
the former speeding along toward Putin in a motorboat and the
latter looking sad as she sits on railway tracks above the River
Styx.
The devil
is pictured watching over the whole chaotic scene with a copy
of The Economist in his hands.
The cartoon's
accompanying article, which is presented as a travel guide, says
the quickest way to hell is by constantly committing major sins
without giving in to feelings of remorse.
The Economist
ranked Russia 102nd out of 162 countries in its democracy rating back
in 2006, during Putin's second term as president, concluding that
elections were carried out under strict government control, press freedom was
limited, and civil liberties were only partially observed.
At the
time, the magazine predicted that Russia's democratic credentials would
only get worse.
