This clip from “Servant of the People,” the 2015-19 Volodymyr Zelenskyy political satire, circulated on Tuesday. Vasiliy Petrovich Goloborodko (Zelenskyy) is a high-school history teacher unexpectedly elected president of Ukraine. He attempts to reform and improve his country while surrounded by an “army of corrupt and deceitful bureaucrats” (IMDB). It’s good.
This morning, and actually President of Ukraine, Zelenskyy is surrounded by invading Russian armor and troops.
In the clip, German Chancellor Angela Merkel calls to inform Goloborodko his country has been admitted to the European Union.
Under seige, Zelenskyy signed an emergency application for Ukraine to join the EU on Monday.
Art imitates life imitating art. Zelenskyy and his family are No. 1 on Putin’s assassination list. It’s no joking matter.
