They say power does not corrupt but reveal what was inside all along.
All this BS about "too long in power" is but convenient excuse to selectively attack politicians you don't like while ignoring politicians you do like that stayed in power for as long or longer. Not to mention completely overblowing individual impact on history.

Funny for them to acknowledge now how bad a president Putin is. I'm assuming he was picked in 2018 cause he was haha funny meme riding bear guy, but then a bit later the memes wore off, and the MC became more distinct (new hair style, facial scars), so it's interesting to have that moment here going "yeah, if I were still president, i'd probably be an evil dictator that's trying to annex Ukraine or something."

since when was puchinov a tyrant? it's been a while but i'm pretty sure i remember him being loved back on earth and everything was going to hell once he was gone.
I think that was the original idea, the original synopsis for the series was

Alexander Purchinov is president for life of the country of Pursia, a country ruled by violence and the influence of its government. Alexander always desires to be dominant, and "ride" things, whether literally or figuratively. Now that he has already ridden his country, his next target is a fantasy world that has orcs, wyverns, and centaurs.

until it changed to current one

this idiot isekai protagonist sage is beyond saving. sacrificed the 2 comrades he had to the most despicable unsavory elf inhabitants of this world, then abandoned their child and didnt notice who she was for centuries.
utterly irresponsible, which means he probably just gets spared in the next chapters.

Lol. Putin is incredibly soft president for shite he has to deal with. As Japan is on the side of proverbial "global West" it's naturally has corresponding media coverage, so author might be influenced by liberal imagery.
It's nothing new and nothing bad for mangaka as long as he isn't pushing political agenda.

Why is this twist actually so good and makes so much sense???!!! I thought the series was entertaining and decent in its narrative, but fragmented at times. Now I see it’s so that everything can be brought together in the end, all intertwined and connected. 🔥💯
