374. Olga Onuch - Zelensky is Forced to make Decisions that are Existential to the Survival of Ukraine.

Prof. Olga Onuch has written what has been described as the definitive
portrait of Volodymyr Zelensky, an extraordinary book called “The
Zelensky Effect”. In this book, she explains the paradox of Zelensky as a
leader and but also entertainer, businessman and risk-taker. She
explores Ukraine’s national history to show how its now-iconic president
reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country’s first
‘independence generation’. Interweaving social and political background
with compelling episodes from Zelensky’s life and career, this is the
story of Ukraine told through the journey of one man who has come to
symbolise his country, and perhaps uniquely in the world is forced to
make decisions that are existential to the survival of his country.
----------

Prof. Olga Onuch is Professor (Chair) in Comparative and Ukrainian
Politics at the University of Manchester (making her the first-ever
holder of a Full Professorship in ‘Ukrainian Politics’ in the
English-speaking world). Olga joined UoM in 2014, after holding research
posts at the University of Toronto, the University of Oxford, and
Harvard University.
