I was talking to a Russian friend about this. Just like in Russia, the gov (in every layer) is so corrupted, and with zero loyalty, and the dictators (Putin, Lukashenko, et al) fear that of they are ousted they will be shot on sight (think Romania-Tsaushesku, Iraq-Saddam). So they are doing their 'best' to stay in power because the moment they fall, it's their death.
