Lennon and Lincoln are more acceptable as they were two of the earliest rappers, Lennon from the first battle and Lincoln in the third. As well, Lincoln returned as a third party, while Lennon would potentially return in a group, meaning there's more to work off of. Putin was in a finale, of Season 2 at that, so having him return just makes Rasputin vs Stalin feel overall less special than it is.

Plus...Vlad vs Putin in general is just bad. It's just Vladimir vs Vladimir. Essentially, Lenin would be just as qualified to go against Vlad as Putin would.
