Ukraine’s President: ‘I Wanted to Be World Famous,’ but Not This Way

”Zelensky won the election on the message that, ‘I am not a typical politician — I am the anti-politician, I am the man of the people’. Therefore, he should communicate with media without symbols of power. That was the idea behind the whole theater,” Volodymyr Yermolenko, Director of Analytics at Internews Ukraine and UkraineWorld's editor in chief, described the first press marathon of Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky held on October 10, 2019.
