In Servant of the People, Zelenskyy is Vasyl Petrovych Goloborodko, a young high school teacher whose students film him ranting against the government’s corruption. They post it on YouTube, and it goes absolutely viral overnight.
The people love his honesty and charm, and Goloborodko’s students raise money to run a presidential campaign, and he ends up winning.
The series follows his struggles and misadventures as a novice president, but delves into deeper themes, too, when he challenges remnants of corruption left in the country by its evil ex-president Yuriy Ivanovich Chuiko.
