Worth dropping in on…
Mariya: What are you watching?
Stanislav: Servant of the People. Zelensky before he became president.
Mariya: Is it any good?
Stanislav: It’s satirical. It’s funny. It’s great.
Mariya: Corruption?
Stanislav: Aplenty. Politicians
controlled by oligarchs but you never see more than half their face. A teacher who wins 73% of the presidential vote because a student posted a social media video of him which went viral.
Mariya: So Zelensky plays as president?
Stanislav: Which is what he became in real life.

Voice-over
A television series 2015-2019 that started as fiction and ended as fact. But who would have guessed that Zelensky would end up in such a beleaguered role in an ideologically-driven war? Fighting for his country’s life against an unfortunately-governed Russia.
