Lukaschenko, der befreundet sein soll mit Nordkoreas Betonkommunist Kim Jong Il und sich mit den verblichenen Despoten Saddam Hussein und Slobodan Milosevic gut verstand, regiert per Geheimpolizei und proklamiert für sich "an die besten sowjetischen Erfahrungen" anzuknüpfen.

Lukashenko, who is said to be friends with North Korea’s XXXcommunist leader Kim Jong Il and had close ties with the late despots Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic, rules by the secret police and proclaims for himself? to replicate “the best Soviet experiences”.

How can I translate Betonkommunist? Does the word refer to the concrete housing blocks in communist countries, or to the fact that he is as communist as concrete is strong? (i.e. no matter how hard you try to change his mind, you won't, as communism is cemented in his brain - or at least in the space where his brain is supposed to be).
