A great #Telegraph podcast: “In his first book, The Showman, #SimonShuster relates how he saw firsthand #Zelensky conduct this war, from the bunker to the frontlines, and how he used his experience as a communicator to articulate, and inspire, the country’s defiance.

Simon examines how the brutal invasion and Ukrainian resistance changed Zelensky, creating a tougher, more serious man than he had first met in 2019...”

書評 : 記者によるウクライナのゼレンスキー大統領の横顔

Author of new book on Ukraine’s Zelensky says Russian invasion turned him into ‘this bulldog’ (Los Angeles Times)

ウクライナの ゼレンスキー (#Zelenskyy ) 大統領を生い立ちから、人気コメディアンとなり、ウクライナとロシアのメディア界の大物へと駆け上り、自身が大統領役を演じたTVコメディ番組をきっかけに大統領になったプロフィールを2019年から取材してきたTime誌特派員がまとめた本。彼はロシアに差し押さえられないためという理由で、タックスヘイブンに多額の資産を置く億万長者という一面もある。また、芸能活動を利用して、政界に入ったという点では、米国のトランプ大統領とも共通点がある。ゼレンスキー氏の政治家としての戦略を理解するのに役に立ちそうだ。

NPRのFresh Airの著者インタビューは長いけど、いい内容です。
