The Zelensky Effect

‘Deeply researched and well-argued.’ — Serhii Plokhy, The Washington Post

‘Artfully combine[s] … Zelensky’s biography and a chronicle of Ukraine’s postcommunist development, rich with … rigorous research. [A] highly readable narrative.’ — Foreign Affairs

‘Refreshingly data-driven and convincing on why [Zelensky’s] brand of Ukrainian-ness … has such appeal.’ — The Times Literary Supplement

‘The go-to book for grasping Ukrainians’ morale in the face of Russian aggression, and the determination of their president.’ — Marc Berenson, Senior Lecturer, King’s Russia Institute, King’s College London

‘Packed with statistical analysis of polling data, social media posts, articles, and speeches, this book answers many questions about how unified resistance … has repelled the mightier Russian military.’ — Foreword Reviews

‘This timely study … of Zelensky and the conditions that made him … deserves a wide readership at this critical moment in European history.’ —
