Synopsis

The first major profile of Ukraine’s courageous President Volodymyr ZelenskyUkraine’s most popular comedic actor was an unlikely president of his country. And now, even more improbably, Volodymyr Zelensky has become the world’s most celebrated statesman. Who is he? How did he become the international hero of our time? Zelensky: The Unlikely Ukrainian Hero Who Defied Putin and United the World is a compelling account of this fascinating, enigmatic leader. Covering Zelensky’s childhood, family history, and astonishing transformation from TV celebrity to first Jewish president of Ukraine, this audiobook tells you what you need to know about the newest star of the world stage. No one has been more surprised by Zelensky’s power to inspire and mobilize his countrymen and the world than Vladimir Putin, who expected Russia’s conquest of its beleaguered neighbor to be the work of an afternoon. Outfoxed and isolated, Putin is not the first person to have underestimated the former comedian with a spine of steel.

Goodreads review by H-Hans on January 19, 2024

Raamat on pigem kõnede ja meediaartiklite kogumik. Algul häiris selline formaat väga, eriti, et küljenduse poolest oli teiste loomingu markeerimiseks kord kasutatud jutumärke, kord kaldkirja, siis jälle tekstirea pikkusega mängitud. Lõpuks harjus sellega ära ja raamat muutus isegi täitsa loetavaks,......more

Goodreads review by Vera on October 27, 2022

A must read for everyone to hear the voices of the Ukrainian president with his struggle to keep an aggressive army out of his country.

I definitely have read more in-depth biographies and better sourced bios than this one (The Epoch Times? 🥴) but it was perfect for listening to while working.
