Goodreads Doesn't Have It, Data Migration: Zelensky, the Unlikely Ukrainian Hero
Would be five stars but there was a pathetic comment on Zelensky's appearance. Off topic, but Zelensky is easily one of the most attractive men I have ever seen. He doesn't have classic Aryan features, that's just disgusting to make comments like that based on that. Who he is and the truly dignified while humorous and boundaried strength of his character is attractive first and foremost, and highlights what already existed very clearly. Those people need serious help. That said, this is a fantastic piece of literature. However, what I don't agree with Zelensky on is people who need to flee should be allowed to flee if it comes to it, especially assault and rpe victims on the border where tons of sexual violence happens. If people are doing a good job backing each other up, I don't think people would have to leave due to assault and rpe. That only happens when people are broken apart easily in many cases. I appreciate that he stepped up and is prioritizing saying no to Putin and the horrific hate crimes he commits, the pathetic slanders he tries to come up with. I don't think it's all Putin's fault as a lot of Russia is itself incredibly ignorant, but while he enacts the ignorance we needed someone like Zelensky to stand up to that. Putin is definitely hateful and runs as the book said a homicide machine based on nothing but ignorance and hate; the irony is he is hateful even against his own interests, such as making Angela be around dogs when she doesn't like them when literally his own father hid from dogs trying to attack him and he cites this as a point of terror and empathizes with it. The irony illuminates how far he is willing to go, even in to self-harm, just to assert senseless, useless and pathetic hate. Zelensky had what it took to stand up to something that terrifying and did just that while speaking to the world with dignity. He is incredibly brave and the other side clearly sees that. He organizes for his country, fights for hard boundaries on Putin, and did it at the expense of a past that didn't know such violence. That's a hard and tragic thing to have to do, but he did it. And that he calls for peace in the end if and when it is possible is truly the sign of a leader who is not engaged in senseless violence but also does not want to capitulate to the truly unacceptable. I would say this guy is himself a glory to Ukraine. I really think men should view him more as a role model. If we had more Zelenskys the world wouldn't be in such miserable shambles. I appreciate this biography and I have nothing but the deepest respect and support for this amazing world leader.
