Wolodymyr Selenskyj: From TV President to Real-Life Leader

From Viral Video to Presidential Victory

Wolodymyr Selenskyj, a former comedian and actor, has played the role of a lifetime in "Servant of the People," a Ukrainian TV series in which he portrays a high school history teacher who runs for president after a video of him denouncing corruption goes viral.

Unprecedented Rise to Power

Selenskyj's fictional presidential campaign in "Servant of the People" has become a reality, as he was elected president of Ukraine in April 2019. His campaign capitalized on public anger over corruption and the desire for change.

Political Outsider with Unconventional Approach

Selenskyj, with no prior political experience, has brought a fresh and unconventional approach to the Ukrainian presidency. His use of social media, his willingness to engage with citizens directly, and his focus on anti-corruption measures have set him apart from previous leaders.
