In an immediate sense he's right but no amount of power any autocrat wields while he lives is enough to prevent future academics from shitting on him and his legacy. What's "right and wrong" is usually settled retroactively decades after the fact by individuals who were never there.

what's there to be mad about, it's a dumb perspective completely ignorant of soft power which is in fact the decisive power in history. literally the first text on politics in the entire western tradition - plato's republic - refutes this stupid idea by demonstrating that the difference in legitimacy between a monarch and an arbitrarily risen dictator imposes totally different attitudes in the different strata of the demos and consequently forces rulers to pursue very different policiies.
