Have any here lived under a “strongman” type of regime, and if so, how do you navigate such a thing with investments?

Be careful of trying to outguess market reactions to politics.

The latter sounds like sage advice.

As you ask, investments can do very well, or very badly, under "strongman" regimes. (no comment on applicability)
The key seems to be to invest in large groups that are in favour with the person in charge. If that doesn't present good choices, second best would be to move to small groups way under the radar, or consumer staples.
