Enitled Zełenski, the biography sheds light on Volodymyr Zelensky’s path from a popular comedian to head of state, a symbol of democracy, and a charismatic role model for other world leaders.

The book touches upon his childhood, law studies and stage career. It also tells stories about his family, in particular Ukraine’s first lady, Olena Zelenska.

The biography was written by Wojciech Rogacin, a former war correspondent in the Middle East and editor-in-chief at a leading Polish newspaper, Polska Times.
