Zelensky’s journey: A standup comic stands up to Putin

How did Volodomyr Zelensky go from captain of regional sketch comedy to international warrior against authoritarianism, drawing comparisons to larger-than-life figures like Winston Churchill? The Bulletin gathered this video of Zelensky from the past two decades to help chart his journey.

In decades, this will all seem like fiction. Keep hope that we have decades left.

I think Zelenski is a geat force for good. He hates the politics and lies he sees in Russia and other places. He didn't ask to become president but was asked amzingly by others. So humble with a great sense of humour. What a miracle of circumstances.

I've seen a lot of Polish comedy sketches when i was younger, the ukrainian ones are similar in format

You didn't touch his involvement in the Panama Papers. His involvement in the Panama Papers is one of the reasons his popularity dipped before the Russian invasion.

It's not really surprising that a comedian can command a nation with such zeal. Comedians are people who goes out and meets people, who want to make people laugh. Though Zelenskyy is probably not great at everything, but he clearly knows how to play the crowd. Unlike Putin who has a blander personality than me, and I hate talking to people in person. Probably the only reason why SOME Russians like Putin (which is hard to believe is genuine) is that the Russian government has essentially made fun illegal.

Whoah. That was all so unfunny.

Well, except the one when he said he will run for president. We all knew how that turned out.
