From comedian to Ukrainian president: the story of Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Four years ago Volodymyr Zelenskyy was one of Ukraine's best-loved comedians, an actor with a hit show and few, if any, political aspirations. Now he's leading his country as its president and standing up to Russia.

Zelenskyy was a comedian. Putin is a clown.

I have nothing but deep respect to President Zelensky. He inspired the whole world to stand up against dictator Putin. A real hero. Stay strong Ukraine.

notice how a former comedian is doing a better job at defending his country and putting himself at risk for his people than most politicians

[reamsel]

Why is the fact that he is a actor a "problem"?? Most politician don't even have a education

This is what happens when bad comedian became US-managed bad president with a lack of any political skills, expertise and willing to prevent war which destroyed his country... A very tragic lesson for the whole world. But another worst thing is that he was elected not for his achievements but as an act of collective despair in order not to allow Poroshenko win. And so US did not hesitate to use it to promote comedian rather than chocolate tycoon.
