Zelensky took a law degree from the Kiev National Economic University in 2000, but decided to pursue a different career. Before joining politics, he was in the world of acting and comedy. He formed the comedy troupe Quartle 95 in 1997, and in 2003 the group began producing television programs.
He did ‘Servant of the People Show’ in 2015 which became the turning point of his life. In this show, he was in the role of a teacher, in which this character comes to know one morning that he has been elected the President of the country with more than 60 percent votes. In this show, the teacher became the president by giving a speech on corruption. In real life also Zelensky got the President’s chair by vowing to eradicate corruption. The show was such a success in Ukraine that it inspired the comedy troupe Quartle 95 to create a political party under its own name.
It is said that it is because of the success that Zelensky got ready to contest the presidential election in 2019.
In 2018, Zelensky stepped out of the TV screen into reality politics and announced his candidacy for the presidency under the Servants of the People party.
During the election campaign, his troupe also stayed together and he used to make fun of his opponents with stand-up comedy.
However, in his election campaign, he vowed to crack down on corruption like the role he played on TV. For this, Zelensky also took the help of social media.
He won the presidential election with an overwhelming majority and secured more than 73 percent of the vote. Two months later, he was named in a major US scandal involving the then US President Donald Trump. Zelensky has had a more cordial relationship with Biden since Joe Biden became US President. However, during this war they feel isolated and the US did not come to Ukraine’s side.
According to some media reports, his popularity began to decline since the Russian army laid siege to Ukraine, despite his resounding victory in the presidential election and the already gained popularity.
Since the start of tensions last year, Zelensky has lost public confidence, according to a statement by Maria Zolkina, a political analyst at the Democratic Initiatives Foundation, a Kiev-based think tank.
