– First of all, I would like to make it clear that I will not play President Volodymyr Zelensky. “I will play the Polish version of Goloborodka, who became president under the influence of various events” – Commented in a recent interview.

‘Servant of the Nation’: The series with Volodymyr Zelensky sparked the world’s interest

‘Servant of the Nation’ was the culmination of a twelve-year adventure Volodymyr Zelensky with business presentation. The production, whose first episodes aired from 2015 to 2019, has three seasons. The following episodes did not materialize, because on April 21, 2019, Zelensky was elected president Ukraine. The series turned out to be somewhat prophetic: Zelensky played history teacher Vasyl Goloborodka in this production, who unexpectedly won the presidential election.

The rights to the series have already been acquired by, among others, Channel 4 from the UK, as well as broadcasters serving the Middle East, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, France, Estonia, Finland and Georgia.

Poles can watch “Servant of the Nation” on the series’ official YouTube channel. Episodes have English subtitles, and some episodes also have Polish subtitles. Only the first episode has more than 15 million views.
