“Of those with a diminished opinion of Jews, 62% say they are less likely to move forward with Jewish applicants, and 78% believe their industry should have fewer Jewish employees.”
Volodymyr Zelensky’s commanding leadership is all the more remarkable given that just a few years ago he was one of Ukraine’s top comedians and TV stars. It would be like if Jon Stewart became president and led America through war and existential crisis.
From 2015-2019 Zelensky created and starred in the TV comedy series “Servant of the People” about a high school teacher who becomes Ukrainian President. Shortly after the show’s final season aired he won Ukraine’s presidential election. Wild.
Before Zelensky played President on TV he starred in a successful rom-com “8 First Dates” (2012) which spawned two sequels, “8 New Dates” (2015) and “8 Best Dates” (2016). Now he’s Ukraine’s President fighting against a dictator.
