Publisher's summary

The first major profile of Ukraine’s courageous President Volodymyr Zelensky

Ukraine’s most popular comedic actor was an unlikely president of his country. And now, even more improbably, Volodymyr Zelensky has become the world’s most celebrated statesman. Who is he? How did he become the international hero of our time?

Zelensky: The Unlikely Ukrainian Hero Who Defied Putin and United the World is a compelling account of this fascinating, enigmatic leader. Covering Zelensky’s childhood, family history, and astonishing transformation from TV celebrity to first Jewish president of Ukraine, this audiobook tells you what you need to know about the newest star of the world stage.

No one has been more surprised by Zelensky’s power to inspire and mobilize his countrymen and the world than Vladimir Putin, who expected Russia’s conquest of its beleaguered neighbor to be the work of an afternoon. Outfoxed and isolated, Putin is not the first person to have underestimated the former comedian with a spine of steel.

Narration

It is hard to listen to an Iranian accent narration with the pretense of being from Ukraine, or even Russia

Enough with the fake accent by the narrator

I listened to the start of this book, and while book is informative, the narrator is awful. I had to buy the Kidle version and read it. Instead of simply reading in his own voice, when he quotes Zelenskyy the narrator uses an atrocious accent. When Zelenskyy speaks English, he has an accent, but it’s a pretty mild one. The narrator makes a caricature of Zelenskyy.

Read the book instead!!

Don’t waste your money!

Nothing new in this book. If you followed the news, Zelensky’ speeches you won’t learn anything new. Rehash of publicly available material. Shameful exploitation!
