The chapter focuses on the phenomenon “Volodymyr Zelenskyi”, and the factors which helped him as a newcomer in Ukrainian politics to win the 2019 presidential election. Olga Mashtaler identifies his media strategies and populist communication techniques paying particular attention to claims to authenticity in his political campaigning, as well as to contrasting these representations with the discourse of Zelenskyi’s main opponent Petro Poroshenko. It thus becomes apparent what roles were played by references to history and memory, the Soviet heritage and current “West or East” choices, the present conflict with Russia and related linguistic-identitarian issues as well as the media—both as disseminators and creators of populist messages—in Ukraine’s 2019 presidential election.
