In a classic case of fiction preceding reality, Zelenskyy plays Vasyl Petrovych Holoborodko, an absent-minded high school history teacher who is elected President of Ukraine after one of his students records his profane rant about corruption in the country and uploads it to YouTube, making him an Internet sensation.
