Wolodymyr Selenskyj

Since February 24, 2022, at 6 a.m., the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has been seen only in a khaki T-shirt or shirt. Despite imminent assassination threats, he remains in the Presidential Office on Bankova Street, in the heart of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Unshaven, later with a beard, President Zelensky gives interviews to international media and speaks to foreign parliaments on large screens. It becomes clear: the man who has governed the country since 2019 has transformed into a warlord. He embodies the heroism and resistance of an entire people who bravely fight for their freedom. However, this role did not seem destined for the former comedian and film producer. Who is this talented communicator who entered politics through a series of incredible events – such as a primetime television series on a popular oligarch's channel just before the elections – and on whose shoulders a part of Europe's fate now rests? The authors, both of whom are active on the ground, provide an exciting and, at times, critical approach to this extraordinary personality.
