Book Club: "The Zelensky Effect" part 3 - February 4, 2024

@MriyaReport news from Ukraine & replays of guests you might have missed or want to listen to again.

A podcast of our regular segment Книжковий клуб - Mriya Report Book Club with @duvimom, @Adam_Rachinsky and @MriyaReport listeners. Tune in to hear their discussion of the book of the day: The Zelensky Effect by Olga Onuch & Henry E. Hale.

Robin, James, and Lexicon take us through a detailed discussion covering the evolution of Ukrainian society, politics, and the significant role of Volodymyr Zelensky from his early years through to his presidency. Emphasising the transformation from Soviet influence to a more independent and culturally Ukrainian identity, the conversation highlighted the importance of the formative years of the Independence Generation in fostering a sense of Ukrainian nationalism. This shift was marked by an increased openness to Ukrainian culture, language, and history, contrasting with the Soviet past.

The Mriya Report BookClub conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the sociopolitical landscape in Ukraine, the challenges faced by the country in asserting its independence and identity, and the pivotal role played by Zelensky in navigating these challenges.
