Ukraine has made what happened in Ukraine a reality fiction of which he was the protagonist, Servant of the People
From protagonist on the set of a very successful Ukrainian fiction to victim. In April three years ago, the comic actor Volodymyr Zelenski was catapulted at the summit of Ukraine transforming what happened in the fiction of which he was the protagonist, Servant of the Peoplethe same name also given to his electoral party.
