Alright, before we go to break, a quick note. Our latest subscriber-exclusive episode of the PDB Dictator Files is out now, and this episode asks an admittedly somewhat odd question. What do dictators do in their spare time? Well, it turns out, some collect movies, some write novels, some rap on state television. But when the leader of an authoritarian regime develops a hobby, it has a funny way of becoming everyone else's business. It's a fascinating look at the private passions of history strongmen and what they tell us about living under the rule of a dictator.
