Here’s a list of the most hated and weird leaders and figures in history because of their absurd behaviors and brutal and somehow sadistic governance.
None of these crooked and wicked leaders died of natural death. They should not be emulated, praised and venerated at all.

Niyasov also banned ballet, beard, gold-capped teeth, import of foreign books, lip-synching and opera.
The Neutrality Arch in Ashgabat featured a gold-plated statue of Niyazov which rotated 360 degrees every 24 hours so as to always face the sun. (The statue has since been removed.) On December 21, 2006, Turkmen state television announced that President Niyazov had died of a sudden heart attack.
2.) Czar Nicholas II
Some people give chocolate rabbits on Easter. Czar Nicholas II preferred more exotic gifts for the women in his life. On Easter 1913, he gave his mother a beautiful Faberge egg encrusted with 3,000 diamonds as a token of his love. The egg was expensive no doubt, but nothing compared to the whopping $9.6 million it fetched in 2002.
On the night of July 17, 1918 executioners drew revolvers killing Nicholas II first. Anastasia, Tatiana, Olga, and Maria survived the first hail of bullets; the sisters were wearing over 1.3 kilograms of diamonds and precious gems sewn into their clothing, which provided some initial protection from the bullets and bayonets. They were stabbed with bayonets and then shot at close range in the head.

His favorite topics include: “When I was a soldier,” “When I was in Vienna,” “When I was in prison,” and “When I was the leader in the early days of the party.”
Hitler loves the circus. He takes real pleasure in the idea that underpaid performers are risking their lives to please him. He went to the circus on several occasions in 1933 and sent extremely expensive chocolates and flowers to the female performers. Hitler even remembered their names and would worry about them and their families in the event of an accident. Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian, and had only ONE testicle. He also had to repeat the 6th grade because he failed it.

He blamed the Christians for the Great Fire of Rome and retribution on them was brutal. Many were fed to the lions, others torn apart by dogs and he even used some as human torches to light his gardens. He persecuted great numbers of Christians. He had them crucified. Women were tied to wild bulls and dragged to death, and most horrible of all, Christians were impaled on stakes, their clothes smeared with pitch and set afire to illuminate Nero's gardens as "human torches" for nighttime chariot races in which he participated, dressed as a common driver. In 68 CE, Nero committed suicide by cutting his wrists and his secretary Epaphroditus as was customary followed this up by a single stab wound.
Nero committed suicide after losing his nerve. After quoting a line from Homer’s Iliad ("Hark, now strikes on my ear the trampling of swift-footed coursers!"), Nero drove a dagger into his throat on June 9, 68 CE.

The combined effect of slave labor, malnutrition, poor medical Care and implementation are estimate have killed about 2 million Cambodians (about a third of the population).
Regime achieved special notoriety for selecting all the intellectuals and the “bourgeois enemies” for murder. Khmer Rouge’s mass executions are the place known as “Field of Murder”. The executed were buried in mass graves. To save ammunition, executions are often carried out using a hammer, ax handles, spades or sharpened bamboo sticks. It is estimated that up to 2,500,000 people died under his leadership.
According to Ta Mok, Pol Pot's death was due to heart failure. Despite government requests to inspect the body, it was cremated a few days later raising strong suspicions that he committed suicide or was poisoned.

A few days before he died, Stalin was found lying on the floor of his room wearing pyjama bottoms and an undershirt with his clothes soaked in stale urine.
11.) Caligula
Caligula is an absurd ruler. He married his sister and threatened to make his horse consul. He believed himself to be a living deity, thus, he once built a walkway from his palace to a Temple, so that he could be closer to his "brother," the Roman god Jupiter. He would also have busts of his head replace those on statues of different gods.
Caligula's death was similar to that of Julius Caesar. Caligula's wife, Caesonia was stabbed to death, and their young daughter, Julia Drusilla, was killed by smashing her head against a wall.
