Volodymyr Zelensky | Before They Were Famous | Comedian That Turns Russia Into a Joke

As I stand here recording this video, Volodymyr Zelensky is by
almost all accounts the world’s most popular leader. And for good
reason too – his bravery in the face of a Russian invasion has been
nothing short of remarkable and exactly what his people have needed
during these unbelievably trying times. But it wasn’t always
shaping up to go this way for Zelensky. This former comedian who
rose to fame for his portrayal of a fictional President was at one
point considered to be something of a joke. But then he’d go on to
win the election with 73% of the vote. Shortly thereafter, things
would kick into overdrive. For instance, I bet you forgot Zelensky
played a part in the impeachment of Donald Trump, didn’t you? It’s
alright. We’ve all had a lot of things on our minds these past
couple of years. But now a whole bunch of us are concerned with
only one thing – how is Ukraine going to survive a war with Russia?
It’s a Herculean task and the leader in charge of the resistance
used to be the Ukrainian voice of Paddington Bear. We’re living in
strange times here people and they’re only going to get strangers.
