In the spirit of full disclosure, Zelenskyy had me fooled. Heading into this conflict with Russia I was of the opinion that Zelenskyy was a good guy. Afterall, Trump’s famous “perfect call” that he was impeached by the House of Representatives for was with Zelenskyy. Volodymyr fully cooperated with Trump in releasing the transcripts of that call and was helpful in Rudy Giuliani’s investigation of Ukraine. So, how did I get it wrong?

The short answer is, I didn’t really dig into who Zelenskyy really was. It was carelessness on my part I suppose. To be fair, I am not the only one who got it wrong so maybe Zelenskyy did a good job of deception. It makes sense, Zelenskyy was/is an actor. I seem to recall someone saying that “great movies need great actors.” Well, I wouldn’t describe Zelenskyy as a great actor, but he did star in many roles before taking his position as President of Ukraine. The most famous of the roles that Zelenskyy was in 2015:

Zelenskyy became the star of the television series Servant of the People, where he played the role of the president of Ukraine.[25] In the series, Zelenskyy's character was a high-school history teacher in his 30s who won the presidential election after a viral video showed him ranting against government corruption in Ukraine. – Wikipedia

But before we get into his acting career it is important to know that Zelenskyy was born to Jewish parents in the city of Kryvyi Rih which then was part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. He is a Russian speaking Jew, and that fact will come into play later. Zelenskyy received a degree in Economics and Technology from the Kryvyi Rih State University and later a law degree from the Kryvyi Rih Institute of economics. Zelenskyy did not pursue a career in economics or law but rather chose to go into acting and comedy.

Already a picture is being created of an actor being well educated in law and economics. These are potentially powerful skills for a superhero to wield against an enemy. This is especially true if the role of that superhero would be the president of the most corrupt countries in the world…Ukraine.


Much like Quinten Beck, Zelenskyy doesn’t possess any superpowers or abilities. However, what he does have can be effective in combination with a great illusion. That is where the Ukrainian TV show Servant of the People comes in. It is no accident that the title of this show creates the illusion of servitude and power to the people. This is a populist message being communicated and it is not by accident.

The political party Servant of the People was created in March 2018 by people from the television production company Kvartal 95, which also created the television series of the same name.

Now, you might think that this all quite savvy for an actor with political ambitions and I would normally agree with you. These are not normal times and Zelenskyy did not come up with this on his own. As quoted earlier, Servant of the People is about Zelenskyy’s character becoming president of Ukraine and ranting against government corruption. So, let’s unpack the illusion here:

· Populist title (Servant of the People)

· Political outsider becomes president

· Is against government corruption

Does this sound familiar? These are the same qualities we attribute to candidate Trump! So, this TV series is run alongside the sitting president (Petro Poroshenko) in Ukraine almost like a shadow government or at the very least a stark contrast to the current administration. An illusion is created using television of not only who Zelenskyy is but of what his presidency could be.

It is no surprise that when Zelenskyy decided to run for president most of his campaign was done virtually. I mean why not? It could be argued that the entire TV series WAS the campaign. In every sense, the simulation became the reality.

Starting 31 December 2018, Zelenskyy led a successful, almost entirely virtual presidential campaign to unseat incumbent President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, in just three to four months. Zelenskyy clearly won both the first round of elections on 31 March,[46] and the run-off election on 21 April 2019.[47] One of Zelenskyy's presidential campaign promises was that he would serve only one term in office (i.e., five years) - Wikipedia

It is true that the people of Ukraine elected a populist, nationalist, anti-corruption candidate. What is also true (and where I was fooled) that Zelenskyy’s image was created by George Soros and there was never any intent of doing away with corruption.

This excerpt from this https://sbierma.substack.com/p/myster...

George Soros acknowledged in an interview with CNN that he actively contributed to the overthrow of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. “I created a foundation in Ukraine before it became independent from Russia. The foundation has functioned since then and has played an important role in current events,” explains the financier who established the International Renaissance Foundation, in Ukraine, as part of the Open Society Foundations, in April 1990.

The infamous foundation originally placed in Ukraine by the New World Order with the aim to assist the transition to democracy, to a market economy became a sort of parallel government immediately starting a series of projects in different areas without ever truly helping the country and ultimately giving the role of President of Ukraine, serving since May 2019, to a comedian/clown called Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who made his apparent fortune with a Ukrainian political satire comedy television series but was secretly financed by a friend of Soros, the Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky. – The Liberty Beacon

Would you look at that: Open Society Foundation, parallel government, and Igor Kolomoisky. What a mess of corruption. If you have read Patel Patriot’s Devolution series, you know of Igor Kolomoisky. If not, I highly recommend it. The entire illusion of Volodymyr Zelenskyy was created by George Soros. There was never any intent on ridding Ukraine of corruption.
