	Good quiz. However, Milosevic was never Dictator over whole Yugoslavia, he was only chief of the Serbian section of the communist Party. In fact there was never an undisputed leader in communist Yugoslavia after Titos death. The most powerful position in communist countries was the party chief, therefore only Gheorgiu-Dej and Ceausescu were leaders of Romania, Stoph wasn't in East Germany. And Hua Guofeng was also a Chinese leader. Le Duan was the most powerful politician in (North) Vietnam for more than 20 years.

	It is spelt Nicolae Ceausescu. And Mengistu Haile Mariam. And I question whether you got the Afghan Presidents right.

	This quiz is highly inaccurate (errors of both commission and omission) and full of misspellings. Also, few of these could be classified as "dictators."

	Only a handful of these were actually dictators. Just because a country used to be communist doesn't mean it implemented a dictatorship. Perhaps you should rename the quiz to "Communist Leaders".

	They were all dictatorships. But in most of these cases the power was in the hand of the party or a small group of persons, not entirely in one person's hand.

	Milan is right. Of course all of the communist countries were dictatorships. But still most of these persons couldn't be classified as "dictators".

	While I am aware there are several definitions of the word "dictatorship", the contemporary usage of the word makes reference to a form of absolutism, a leadership which is not restricted by any laws, constitutions or other factors. As a result, not all of these leaders were dictators. At the same time, not all of those governments were dictatorships.

	Many communist countries weren't dictatorships? So what was the problem with communism then? In fact all were ruled dictatorial, but not by one single person. Even in the case of Castro or Tito I would doubt that.

	You have Ceausescu spelled wrong. Also you should accept Mengistu since that's his family name.
