A comedian plays the president and ends up actually being president

Yesterday, almost the whole network was paying attention to the war situation in Ukraine and Russia. Many netizens said that it was a nap time, and the situation changed several times.

Before you can react, Putin announces his troops; when you think about how Ukraine will respond to Russian troops, the Ukrainian National Guard command has been destroyed; and before you can react, the Russian army has captured kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

People in the Donbass region are even more difficult to accept: falling asleep in Ukraine and waking up in Russia.

This incident has made the president of Ukraine, Zelenskiy, the most concerned president in the world at present. The Ukrainian president is not so much a politician as a comedian. Without double quotes.

To say that Zelenskiy's story may be more exciting than the TV series he played, he can become president without a day of governance experience, and the biggest reason for his success in the competition is that he has played the president.

This is probably the world's first real event adapted from a TV series: because he played the president of Ukraine, he actually ran for the president of Ukraine.

Zelenskiy was born into a Jewish family to intellectual parents.

Dad was an economics professor, mom was a senior engineer, and in this privileged family environment, Zelenskiy had a smooth ride, did not suffer any hardships, played whatever he wanted, and had a strong interest in art at a very young age.

When he was in college, he was noticed by a well-known Ukrainian entertainment program team, and then started his own team, similar to the current talk show comedy variety show, which was sought after by countless fans and became a household name for comedians in Ukraine.

I thought that his life would be devoted to the comedy art, and there would be no magic stories behind him. In 2015, the turning point came. The dude made a comedy film that was popular all over the Internet in Ukraine, called "Servant of the People".

The production quality of "Servant of the People" is quite high, the black humor is very slippery, the rating on Douban is 9.0, and it is even more empty after it is broadcast in Ukraine. With his performance in this play, Zelenskiy became one of the most influential entertainers in Ukraine, establishing himself as a "national comedian". And this drama also allowed him to lay a good foundation for his future political career. (Filming lays the foundation for being president?) Something seems wrong! )

In the play, his character is a high school history teacher in his 30s named Vasha. Vashya, dissatisfied with the corruption of the Ukrainian government, unexpectedly became popular by issuing a series of words denouncing the government. Then his students and a group of melon-eating netizens elected him to run for president and raised $200,000 in start-up funding for him.

Unexpectedly, this Internet celebrity teacher was really elected president of Ukraine with 60% of the vote. But the president is not very good. Once in parliament, everyone was staging an all-out march, even if the host signaled that the president was coming. Vasha shouted, Putin fell!

The whole council was calmed by his words. Although this sentence is a line, it is probably also the inner portrayal of Zelenskiy today.

"Servant of the People" has a total of three seasons, almost the whole of Ukraine has been hacked to the sky, and finally a movie version has been released.

Originally, the crew wanted to continue filming, but because Zelenskiy really ran to run for president, the production of the series was also completed. It is precisely because of this drama that Zelenskiy's desire to engage in politics has really ignited, and he wants to turn the fictional story into reality.

In 2018, Zelenskiy founded his own campaign, the Servant of the People. The party's headquarters is based in a cramped office in Kiev, and it's fun to see that the whole team is new to politics, and it's really like a play.

Despite having little mass base, Zelenskiy is still running for the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election, vowing in his platform to punish corrupt officials, get teachers and doctors paid what they deserve, and establish sound retirement security.

Unexpectedly, in 2019, the second round of voting in the Ukrainian general election ended, and Zelenskiy really defeated then-President Peter Poroshenko.

In the debate of the presidential campaign, he also created a very classic scene. Zelenskiy angrily denounced Poroshenko's poor rule and failure to resolve the Donbass conflict; the other side ridiculed that if he came to power, it would not be much better, and he was afraid that he would have to kneel to Putin.

Zelenskiy replied, "I will kneel before every mother who cannot wait for a son; before every child who cannot wait for a father; before every woman who cannot wait for her husband." "I said it and I really fell to my knees with a thud.

This kneeling was severe, and the scene resounded with a tidal wave of applause, and many people burst into tears. Zelenskiy's words changed: "Your Honor, can you kneel like me?" ”

President Poroshenko was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground, so he had no choice but to turn his back on the crowd and half-kneel to the Ukrainian flag. Zelenskiy took advantage of the situation and said: "Can a person who does not want to kneel to the people be the president of Ukraine?" ”

There was a lot of joy at the scene, and people were willing to vote for candidates who could kneel to themselves. In this way, Zelenskiy fell on his knees and was elected president of Ukraine with more than 70% of the votes, which is even higher than his support in the TV series! It's really magical!

But the reality is not acting after all, and being able to be a good actor does not mean that you can be a good president. From 2019 to 2022, during Zelenskiy's three-year reign, Ukraine can be described as a domestic and foreign dilemma.

Internally, it has not been able to deliver on the promises of the campaign, the people's money bags are still empty, and Ukraine's GDP has always been the lowest in Europe.

Externally, Zelenskiy encountered a number of political challenges in succession, and was defeated in one "long-distance and close-range attack" again and again, which not only did not please the United States, but also offended Russia.

Zelenskiy, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, finally chose to hold the American thigh, but the thigh can not be casually held, because you do not know whether the other party has foot odor. Obviously, the Americans have a bad nose on their thighs — and a lot of what they do is just to use him, to mess up the situation, to make the dollar harvest European money, not to really help Ukraine.

Now it seems that Zelenskiy may be too deep into the drama as president or actor - he wants to be a hero who saves the country, and as a result, he becomes a sinner who makes the country doomed. As Putin said of Zelenskiy: He was a genius comedian, but he turned his country into a tragedy.

It is not known how the fate of Ukrainian President Zelenskiy will develop in the future. If they were caught by the Russians, what would be the outcome?

Finally, ridicule goes to ridicule, and I sincerely hope that the world will have less war and more peace.
