They were leaders of imperial britain and imperial russia, not imperial germany. Though both were of mostly ethnic german stock. I don't think anyone would disagree that the british and russian empires were two of the most terrible empires in history. The british empire easily being the more horrible as the british empire was far more successful than the russian empire.
