Silicon Curtain374. Olga Onuch - Zelensky is Forced to make Decisions that are Existential to the Survival of Ukraine.Prof. Olga Onuch has written what has been described as the definitive
portrait of Volodymyr Zelensky, an extraordinary book called “The
Zelensky Effect”. In this book, she explains the paradox of Zelensky as a
leader and but also entertainer, businessman and risk-taker. She
explores Ukraine’s national history to show how its now-iconic president
reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country’s first
‘independence generation’. Interweaving social and political background
with compelling episodes from Zelensky’s life and career, this is the

You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Volodymyr Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian.

Departures with Robert AmsterdamZelensky: From TV president to real presidentBefore becoming one of the world's most recognizable heads of state, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was a comic actor and entertainer, whose most famous show, "Servant of the People," imagined him in a role he would one day, unbelievably, come to hold in real life. But how was it possible for someone with so little political experience to unify and mobilize such an intense outpouring of patriotism of his fellow citizens and, arguably, the creation of a new Ukrainian civic identity in response to the Russian invasion? According to a new book by co-authors Olga...2023-04-1329 min
