President Zelensky is not only a showman and politician. He is also a political phenomenon through which history revealed something very important about Ukrainian society. This book is dedicated to Ukraine under the presidency of Volodymyr Zelensky. It consists of columns, originally written for the Kennan Institute’s expert blog Focus Ukraine. Put together, these columns constitute a chronicle of a society surviving oligarchy, pandemic, and war with dignity and resilience – in spite of all the challenges of recent and current history.

Here is Ukraine’s recent political history viewed as it unfolded, often unpredictably, through the eyes of one of the best scholars of Ukrainian politics, society, and culture. Focused on leaders, state policies, public opinion, and international relations, this is a compelling story of uncertainty and possibility evolving into a story of disappointment and then catastrophe mixed with resilience and hope. This is political history rich in contingencies, personalities, ideas, and emotions.
