Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the 6th president of Ukraine, had a multifaceted career prior to entering politics, where he excelled as a comedian, actor, screenwriter, film producer, and director.
In his educational pursuits, Zelenskyy obtained a degree in law, a testament to his versatility and dedication to personal growth.
Before venturing into politics, Zelenskyy founded a production company, Kvartal 95, which has produced a wide range of creative content, including films, cartoons, and TV comedy shows.
One of his most notable creations is the television show Servant of the People (2015),in which Zelenskiy played the role of President of Ukraine, a role that would later become a reality.
In March 2018, a political party bearing the same name as the television show was established by employees of Kvartal 95, marking the beginning of Zelenskyy's political journey.
Zelenskiy's entry into politics was announced on December 31, 2018, amidst the New Year's Eve address of President Petro Poroshenko on 1+1 TV Channel, a move that solidified his position as a front-runner in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election.
On April 21, 2019, Zelenskiy won the election with a landslide victory, securing 73.22% of the vote in the second round and defeating Poroshenko in the process.
