Gavin de Becker

And here's the truth.

And people know parts of this story, but they don't know it in its cleanest narrative.

So he was a totally apolitical.

He was an outsider to politics.

Zero experience or interest in government or politics.

He was a comedian.

and with no manifesto no party ties and he does a tv show a planned tv show called servant of the people and the main character

in the show, does a YouTube video that calls out oligarchs and corruption, and eventually becomes popular and is drafted as a protest candidate and eventually becomes president.

So, Zelensky played on a TV show a person who becomes president by popular demand.

In real life, the TV show is supported by an oligarch named Kolomoisky who owned the TV channel.

And Kolomoisky did a huge nonstop promo on that TV show to make it the number one show.

Primetime slots and ads everywhere and crossovers with the news and what have you.

2018, a year before the show goes off the air, Zelensky forms a political party called Servant of the People.

The same title as the show.

And in no press release, secretly done.

And then he does another season of the show.

And in April of 2019, he announces his actual candidacy on Instagram.

He has no campaign, no rallies, no real platform.

He skips the presidential debates.

Others attended.
