Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year on Wednesday after being one of 10 individuals or groups placed on a shortlist earlier this week.

Zelensky has led Ukraine as it has worked to hold off a full-scale Russian invasion of the country since late February, becoming a leader on the world stage. He has overseen a series of victories in the war that has largely halted Russia from advancing and allowed Ukraine to retake captured territory.

The Ukrainian president, who was formerly an actor who played the role of president in a television series, has become a regular fixture throughout the conflict, showing a serious but reassuring demeanor during frequent addresses to the Ukrainian people.

He has also served as the top representative for Ukraine to the rest of the world, pleading for NATO and countries like the United States to come to its aid to stop Russia’s aggression.

Other candidates named to the shortlist included the U.S. Supreme Court, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Iranian Protesters, Ron DeSantis, President Xi Jiping, Gun Safety Advocates, Janet Yellen, McKenzie Scott (Bezos Ex-wife), and Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who was last year’s Person of the Year.

When Russia first invaded Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin hoped to take the country in three or four days, but his forces encountered stiffer-than-expected resistance from Ukrainian defenders rallied by Zelensky’s calls to fight to protect their country. The war has now continued for more than nine months.

Zelensky has remained in the country throughout the conflict despite repeated Russian attacks directed at military and civilian targets, including at the capital of Kyiv. The Biden administration offered to get Zelensky out of the country in February, but he refused, asking for ammunition instead.

He has repeatedly emphasized to the world why continued support of Ukraine is necessary to prevent Russia from advancing and has called on the international community to hold Russia accountable for many alleged war crimes and human rights abuses from Russian soldiers that have been documented.

Zelensky met with Time for an interview, discussing his experience leading the fight against Ukraine. He has often been compared to former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who rallied the United Kingdom during World War II, but Zelensky has rejected the comparison, noting the former British leader’s reputation as an imperialist.

He instead said he would rather be associated with author George Orwell, who wrote against authoritarianism, and comedian Charlie Chaplin, who used humor to criticize Adolf Hitler.

He said in the interview that Russia’s invasion is only its latest attempt to take control of Ukraine, but he wants to ensure it is the last one.
“I have not finished this great, important action for our country,” he said. “Not yet.”

In the end, will it really matter?
Will it be worth it?
The shimmers and the strobe
the accolades on the front page news?

When the three got him water
From the gate at Bethlehem
David wouldn't drink it
For all he saw was the blood
Of men who risked their lives
How many more citizens will go
On the altar/alter of ego

Is the shimmers and the strobe
The accolades on the front page news
Good motivation to mow your own
As cannon fodder

There's a battle inside everyone
But would the plot twist
If all the Vladimirs
Were to be put in and fight theirs
Themselves?

To the keyboard warrior
Likewise a drone pilot
Pressing buttons
and pushing joysticks
In the comfort of his cabin
War is all a game
But Would it be the same
Would there be a roundtable
So there can be a truce
If the mongers in the a/c offices
Are the same as the boots
on ground
Strapped with rifles
Almost twice their height
Mounting sentry during the day
While at night
trying to shut out echoing screams
Of help of those who would notmake it home?

In the end, does it really matter?
Was it worth it?
The shimmers and the strobe
the accolades on the front page news?

Congrats to the brave man.

You this ignorant boy again, I see your brainwashed head will take time for it to be restored back to common sense settings. So you are proudly tagging me to come see a post of an “American” magazine propagating the news that Elensky is the man of the year. Well he is NATO’s man of the year because he has helped Nato cash out and wash money. Just imagine the The Nation newspaper calling Sanwo olu the man of the year in Nigeria, lol, hint; Jagaban owns the nation.

Same America that posted Elensky on their western media propaganda magazine can also turn their back on Elensky just like they did Adolf Hitler and saddam Hussein.

Oh boy you know nothing about history and geopolitics. Go back to watching cocomelon.

Time magazine and Forbes are two different brands.
Don't cry, either you like it all not zelesky and his courageous stand against tyranny are already written in the sands of time, zelensky is now a man for the ages, thousands of unborn Ukrainian children will know how a man against the odds stood against a tyrant Putin and prevail.. Zelensky is now folklore

Not surprised at all. Western media and their diabolic designs and narrative can hardly change from their true colors--celebrating mediocrity, corruption, and satanic agendas of individuals of their own making that often end up on the wrong side of history.

Yeah, Time Magazine named Elensky as its person of the year, just as they named his predecessor in previous years.

History does repeat itself, especially with fascists running the show.

Time Magazine Man of the Year, 1938 was "Adolf Hitler".

How alluring. once a Nazi lover, always a Nazi lover.

And heck, it's the same damn Russians the cosmic have anointed once more to "put out" this menace as they did in 1945.

Coincidence you think? No. Its history repeats itself before our very eyes. Good luck to Ukraine as the Russians carry out their cosmic-elected appointment.

Too many ignorant and novice set of people on this faceless nairaland forum. I’m sure you like using your western almighty search engine “GOOGLE”. You can do yourself a favor and save yourself from embarrassment and foolishness by searching “Time magazine man of the year 1938” and you will see the result.

Don’t quote me if you want to argue unintelligently.

Time explained that the criteria for making a selection is based on the influence – good or bad – that person has on the news and lives of others. Hitler was chosen in 1938 because of his negative impact.

Time's 1938 issue describes Hitler as "the greatest threatening force that the democratic, freedom-loving world faces today."

It said Hitler's actions "left civilized men and women aghast" and called Hitler "the man most responsible for this world tragedy is a moody, brooding, unprepossessing, 49-year old Austrian-born ascetic with a Charlie Chaplin mustache."

The Times actually praised Zekensky and the Spirit of the Ukrainian people. The Times said Zelenskyy has really galvanized the world in a way we haven’t seen in decades. Zelenskyy’s success as a wartime leader has relied on the fact that courage is contagious. It spread through Ukraine’s political leadership in the first days of the invasion, as everyone realized the President had stuck around.”

Those are fake covers you have attached to your posts. The authentic cover is on Times website.
https://time.com/5573720/hitler-world-influence/

Real cover for Hitlers Time person of the year below.

As per Hitler's legacy, Time noted that even the portrait of the 1938 issue was not the typical cover.

"He was depicted as a tiny figure with his back to the viewer, playing a massive organ with his murdered victims spinning on a St. Catherine’s wheel."

Underneath the stark, black-and-white illustration was the caption, “From the unholy organist, a hymn of hate.”

Are you commenting all for the purpose of proving me wrong? How are you so sure that the cover you posted is the right cover? Were you alive to witness the original cover in the 1930’s?
The point here is Adolph Hitler was once Times man of the year.
Please let’s talk something else more reasonable, you are only exposing yourself that you are not here to argue intelligently but to antagonize whatever comments you see that does not fit your narrative.

The bottomline--they celebrated Hitler, the Nazi god.

So because he posted a link? Don’t you know what they call “updating”. Do you think that how the picture was in the magazine in the 1930’s, that’s how it’s going to be updated today?.
Na waooo you can’t reason and think on your own, you see why it’s easy to trick and brainwash your likes.
Below is the page of the link your guy posted and Look at the date it was updated.
The General mathematics you used throughout secondary school, don’t they change the cover? Are you telling me 2005 General mathematics cover is same as 2008? The point is Hitler was once Time magazine man of the year in the 1930’s.

Honestly that boy Hotice does not have any business being on this section of nairaland, he is too childish. All he knows is to insult, abuse and display his lack of home training. He does not have any knowledge of geopolitics. I bet he is still in secondary school or maybe he just finished secondary school. His parents need to seize his phone.
