He is a Ukrainian comedian who starred as the president of the country in the TV series, and he did not expect to be elected president of the country by fan vote because of his too much image, which sounds a bit funny, but it does happen in reality.
He is the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelenskiy, so how did he go from being an actor to president? Why did the Ukrainian people choose him?
Vladimir Zelenskiy
Bad choice
When you think of the president, the first thing that comes to mind is a man in a suit sitting in an office with several black-clad bodyguards standing next to him, and the president approves various documents under their protection.
Of course, these only appear in film and television dramas, as for what the real presidential office looks like, ordinary people have no way of knowing, but in some cases, real life is more dramatic than the drama.
At 20:00 p.m. on April 21, 2019, all the people in Ukraine were staring intently at the TV, nervous and expectant.
With the announcement of the results, the people in front of the TV set appeared in two very different ways, some people laughed loudly, while others broke their mouths and scolded.

According to voting calculations, Zelenskiy's approval rating is as high as 73.3 percent, while his competitors are only 26.3 percent.
"Oh my God, those fools must be crazy to choose a clown to be president, and I really want to kick their ass!"
Many older drunkards scolded at the TV screens, and they began to worry about the future of the country.
Unfortunately, they can't stop it from happening, even if Zelenskiy has not yet taken office, but at this moment, he has played a triumphant smile.
Zelenskiy
No wonder the old guys were angry, because zelenskiy could hardly hide his antics from any angle, and it was hard to imagine how such a man should lead Ukraine.
It's just a pity that most people are not so rational, or that group of people also have beautiful illusions, thinking that the roles in film and television dramas may work in reality.
Zelenskiy starred in the TV series "Servant of the People", which tells the story of an ordinary teacher who became president by mistake and served the people after taking office, and it happens that Zelenskiy is the president of the play.
Servant of the People
As soon as it aired, the show became ukraine's most popular TV show since 2015, and Zelenskiy was well known throughout the country.
Because "Servant of the People" is too popular, the program team released the 2nd and 3rd seasons of "Servant of the People" in 2017 and 2019 respectively, and Zelenskiy's funny smile and his good president's personality also took root in the hearts of the masses.
An actor playing the president and bringing the president to life a few years later sounds like a fantasy, and even the person in question, Zelenskiy, can't figure out his situation for a while.
Fragment of Servant of the People
But time will not wait for Zelenskiy to adjust his status, and on May 20, he was sworn in as president of Ukraine at the Highest Dara of Ukraine.
After taking office, although Zelenskiy was confused every day, he still wanted to do something for the people, and many people expected the new president to perform as well as on TV.
However, film and television are film and television after all, not to mention the high position of the president, and reality is a world of difference, even if Zelenskiy has a passion, but suffering from no political experience, so he is every day by various political affairs.
I don't know whether Zelenskiy was lucky or unlucky, but less than a year after he became president, the epidemic broke out.
virus
During his reign, absurdities continued, and self-dismissal was staged
In 2020, the epidemic quietly began to brew a big plan, at first people thought that this was just a local infectious disease, but it was not long before it spread around the world and became a disaster for all mankind.
Ukraine was also doomed to the disaster, and when the infected people were found, the Ukrainian authorities immediately issued control measures, closed large entertainment venues, even if it was a meal, they could only choose to be outdoors, and a table could not be more than 4 people seated.
However, Zelenskiy's next operation is really incredible, as the president of the country, instead of setting an example, he took the lead in violating the epidemic prevention regulations.
Ukrainian streets
In June 2020, Zelenskiy took his staff out on a trip to the city of Khmelnytsky in western Ukraine.
The street was deserted, and there was hardly a single person to be seen, and the group walked and saw a café.
Because many stores have been forced to close during the epidemic, the opening of this coffee shop has made Zelenskiy and others shine.
At that time, the café was only partially open outdoors, and there were a few scattered tables outside, which looked very desolate.
City of Khmelnytsky
Zelenskiy and his entourage of staff huddled at a table, and without masks, the number of people was already more than 4.
One of the staff members took out a camera and took a photo of Zelenskiy's inspection, and after drinking coffee, the gang left, and when zelenskiy returned to the president's office, he did not think much about it and instructed him to publish the inspection photos.
But what he did not expect was that as soon as the photo was published, it was immediately criticized by the media, saying that Zelenskiy took the lead in violating the epidemic prevention regulations and should be fined.
Seeing that things were getting bigger and bigger, Zelenskiy rushed to pay a fine of $1250 and publicly apologized to the public, while not forgetting his old business, and said some humorous words:
"Khmelnytsky's coffee was fantastic! Aromatic and delicious! ”
Watching the president pay the fine, admit the mistake, not forget the humor, and the anger in the hearts of the people gradually subsided, so the matter was quickly forgotten.
Although Ukraine has taken a series of epidemic prevention measures, this has not stopped the spread of the epidemic, and the number of infections will increase exponentially every day, and even Zelenskiy, who is the president, has been tested positive.
After learning that he was infected, Zelenskiy first returned home to self-isolate, and then, under the arrangement of the staff, was admitted to a hospital in Kiev.
Fortunately, the medical conditions at this hospital are not bad, and after receiving treatment, Zelenskiy's condition has stabilized.
A hospital in Kiev
Two weeks later, the hospital conducted a second test on Zelenskiy, which turned negative, and the president has been cured.
After learning this news, zelenskiy's heart finally sent down, the mood also improved a lot, just out of the hospital to take a selfie video, said that he has begun to work, very happy to be able to resume work.
Not long after the video was released, it attracted many netizens to watch, some of whom were zelenskiy fans, so they brushed some "Servant of the People" in the comment area.
Of course, there are also some netizens who express their dissatisfaction, because since Dzelensky came to power, he has not made any achievements in the development of Ukraine, not only has not controlled the epidemic, but he has also been infected as president, which is really laughable.
Zelenskiy takes a selfie
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed since the president took office, and Kzelenski's "business level" has hardly improved in the slightest, and each approval document is confused.
On March 23, 2021, he received a document that he approved without looking at it carefully, creating another big joke.
The document turned out to be about removing Zelenskiy from the presidency, and Zelenskiy's act was undoubtedly to "remove himself from office."
Funny President of Ukraine
Not long after the document was signed, the Ukrainian presidential network published the matter, and for a time it stirred up thousands of waves, and the local major media rushed to report it.
Zelenskiy ordered people to delete this announcement at the first time, but unfortunately it was still a step slower, in the face of media interviews, the Ukrainian presidential office chose not to talk about it, and this matter has become a joke after dinner.
Zelenskiy's performance during his presidency was undoubtedly bad, so what kind of person was he before he became president?
Zelenskiy, who was interviewed
Devoted to the road of acting, all the way to the president
Zelens was born in 1978 to a very wealthy family, his father was Jewish, he was a professor at the Krivorog School of Economics, and his mother was an engineer, so Zelenskiy received a good education from an early age.
Since going to school, his academic performance has been at the top of the list, and after graduating from high school, he successfully entered the law school of Kiev University of Economics, and it was at this time that Zelenskiy ushered in a turning point in his life.
In his spare time at university, Zelenskiy enjoyed writing comedy scripts and performing, and by chance, he was discovered by a Ukrainian entertainment program team.
Although his parents wanted him to grow up to be a lawyer or a professor, Zelenskiy was not interested in this, he wanted to step into the entertainment industry, so he agreed to the invitation of the other party behind his parents' back.
Kyiv University of Economics
In 1997, he co-founded the "95 Quarter" group with Zelenskiy as its captain.
As soon as the group was performed, it received unanimous praise, and Zelenskiy, as a screenwriter and captain, was highly praised, and the group began to tour various places.
As the popularity grew, the "95 Quarter" group was adapted into the "95 Quarter" studio and began to enter the film and television industry, and Zelenskiy became the owner and manager of the studio.
The transformation was a major success, with monthly revenues several times higher than before.

In 2005, Zelenskiy was invited to work as a leading actor and creator of the Ukrainian International Channel, and since he joined, the ratings of the television station have gradually increased.
But Zelenskiy was not satisfied with this situation, he always wanted to challenge himself, so he transformed again and began to produce other projects.
Because of his outstanding ability, Zelenskiy has become a superstar in the Ukrainian show business at this time, receiving invitations from major program groups every day.
In 2011, as the head of the "95th Quarter", he successfully appeared on the cover of the Ukrainian magazine "Fox", and it was at this time that his parents really agreed to Zelenskiy's career in acting.
Zelenskiy in his youth
With the consent of his parents, Zelenskiy was more free of himself, and his future acting career was also smooth.
Until 2015, with the TV series "Servant of the People", he became one of the most influential artists in Ukraine, and was awarded the title of "National Comedian".
Probably because of playing the president for many years, Zelenskiy actually began to have a special "feeling" for this position, and even the people who followed the drama were eager to hope that the "public servant president" in this film and television drama could become a reality.
Unfortunately, the gap between art and reality is too large, and Zelenskiy finally failed to live up to the high expectations of the "fans".
Stills from Servant of the People
Ukraine has a complex history
Due to its special historical reasons and geographical location, Ukraine has led to regional contradictions and religiousism in this country.
Ukraine is located in the east of Europe, bordering Russia, Belarus, Poland and other countries, the terrain is mostly plain, so the lack of natural barriers, which has led to countless wars here from ancient times to the present.
In ancient times, people would constantly look for a suitable place to live in order to eat, and Ukraine not only had fertile black soil, but also vast grasslands, whether it was livestock or farming, you can choose at will.
In order to compete for resources, many tribes have launched wars against Ukraine, and after the war, many people will quietly stay in Ukraine, and over time, many different ethnic groups will gather here.
Geographical location of Ukraine
Although more races promote cultural exchange, they can also lead to contradictions, and religion is a good example.
According to the survey, there are more than 4,000 religions in Ukraine, such as the Catholic Church, Mormonism, and the Seventh Day of the Adventist Church, and religions are often inseparable for faith.
In the industrial age, Ukraine still chose to focus on the development of agriculture, and finally with the help of the Soviet Union, the industrial sector was established, during which time the Ukrainian economy achieved unprecedented development.
After the independence of Ukraine, the economy has declined to a certain extent, and the unemployment rate has soared year by year.
The Industrial Age
More importantly, the gap between the rich and the poor in the east and the west is very large, according to the Ukrainian census, the population density in the east is more than twice as high as that in the west.
For example, the eastern state of Donetsk has about 183 people per square mile, while the western state of Warren has only 53 people per square mile.
Because the industrial level in the east is relatively developed and the urbanization is relatively high, many people will be willing to settle in the east.
Map of the east-west distribution of Ukraine
Ukraine's problems are not only race and economy, but also the country's population has been growing negatively year by year since the beginning of the 21st century.
First of all, there are too many more ukrainian women than men, the ratio of men to women has reached 46 to 54, and the average life expectancy of men and women is also too large, with women aged 74 and men only 62 years old.
The imbalance between men and women has led to a decline in the marriage rate, which has led to negative population growth.
Not only that, because of economic reasons, many people in Ukraine will choose to work abroad, they have traveled to Russia, Poland, Germany and other countries, and some people will never come back after they have passed.
Ukraine's decay has created illusions among many people that they desperately need a good leader, and Zelenskiy's president fulfills that illusion, and the people rush to the doctor and elect a comedian as president.
Ukrainian women
An actor who was delayed by the president
Zelenskiy's career sounds both dramatic and a bit of a shame.
If he continues to insist on his acting career, he will not make so many jokes, and may be able to go out of Ukraine and enter Hollywood, becoming a world-renowned actor in one fell swoop.
Finally, I recommend that you go to see the TV series starring Zelenskiy, although he treats the president as a mess, but his acting is really good.
