* BrokenAesop: One of Vasiliy's biggest goal is the fight against corruption. Meanwhile, early on he appoints his closest friends (and ex-wife) as ministers. While the series presents this as assembling a team of highly moral TrueCompanions, in reality this amounts to cronyism, which in fact ''is'' a form of corruption.
** Downplayed - Vasiliy DID attempt to hold formal recruitments for all of these positions, but could not find any good candidates. The ones he did recruit before calling on his friends were revealed to be Yuriy's (and by extension the oligarchs') cronies in the end.

** A similar situation happens in Season 2, where Vasiliy engages in conspiracy by [[spoiler: faking Yuriy's death, prematurely ending his sentence, and granting him immunity via a fake identity]] to combat the oligarchs.

** The Japanese translation zig-zags this: While the local subtitles also keep the Slavic terms of addressing, especially between people of the same age range, the same cannot to be said when younger, unknown people address adults or when juniors addressing seniors in position of authority. This is more visible when Vasiliy is addressed by his students in Japanese. Rather than addressing him by either "Vasiliy Petrovich" or his full name, he is just addressed as "teacher/先生 sensei", without calling him by his name. Also, the use of other Japanese honorifics is quite inconsistent in the Japanese translation at many points of the series.

** Some of Goloborodko's lines have not aged well as of 2022, particularly his wary attitude against any opposition to UsefulNotes/{{Russia}}. Since the start of the war, the real Zelenskyy has been anything but hesitant to confront UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin's Russia. The "hohol" speech also hasn't aged well, seeing as the word "hohol" is widely used as a Russian slur against Ukrainians (unlike in the series where it was meant as "yokel") and people supporting UsefulNotes/{{Ukraine}} steer clear from it. In the same speech, Goloborodko also mocks "bumpkin" Ukrainians for using a Ukrainian accent while speaking Russian (pronouncing "g" as "kh") when asking for things such as bribes or for their children to be sent to expensive schools. Even Goloborodko and his team speaking Russian can be seen as this, with Zelenskyy in RealLife now making a point of speaking Ukrainian. The speech ends with a summation of this mindset as the "mysterious soul" of "khokhols", which is nowadays used by pro-Western Eastern Europeans in the expression "mysterious Russian soul" to highlight the same backwards traits (plus jingoism and imperialism) in the mindset of pro-war [[UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia modern Russians]].
** There is a scene in the movie where Goloborodko, driven to the breaking point by being subjected to constant and vicious criticism, imagines himself committing a mass murder of the Ukrainian parliament. While the scene was always [[BlackComedy Black Comedy]], it is less funny after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the real-life threat it poses to everyone in Ukraine's government.
