From a comedian to the President of Ukraine .. Who is "Zelensky"?

The first image is from the series "Servant of the People", which was first broadcast in "Ukraine" in 2015, where the Ukrainian president played the role of the teacher, who later became the president of Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who now wore a military uniform with Ukrainian soldiers after the Russian invasion, accused Moscow of committing "genocide" in its war on his country, and the people knew him for his comedies before the world of politics.

Zelensky was known to Ukrainians before he entered the world of politics in the first place, as he was a well-known comedian in many series and films, and some believe that the Ukrainian street accepted him through his comic works was a major reason for his decision in the recent Ukrainian elections.

The President of Ukraine was born in the city of Kryvi on January 25, 1978. Sources say that he comes from a family of Jewish origins. The irony is that he is fluent in the Russian language and used it even during the electoral campaign stage.

His famous series “The Servant of the People” was a prophecy of his future in the world of politics, as the series, which was shown in 2015 in Ukraine, talks about a sharp-tongued history teacher who played the role of Zelensky, but once he talks enthusiastically about corruption and fighting it, so he is filmed by someone The students will be the reason for his fame.

The work caused Zelensky to become a person that many Ukrainians aspire to have a president like him, especially in light of the political crises experienced by this country, which was within the former Soviet Union.

The surprise was, according to the Egyptian newspaper, Al-Watan, that the President of Ukraine did not address the resonant speeches of the Ukrainian people during his election campaign, but explicitly said that he did not know what to do and what to say during the electoral campaign, but in his comedic way and his theatrical performances he was able to win his supporters, as he continued to display them in the streets Kiev and through social media platforms, as a means of electoral propaganda, as he won the Ukrainian presidential elections in 2019.
