The reason why Vladimir Putin’s euphemistically named “special military operation” failed in its principal objectives is told in BBC Two’s landmark biopic of the Ukrainian leader, The Zelensky Story. Specifically, we see footage from 2022 of Ukrainian soldiers in Kyiv apprehending a gang of Putin’s goons on their way to kill Zelensky; and we hear from Boris Johnson, indiscreet as ever, telling us that he was making preparations to get his friend out of there so he could lead the resistance from the English home counties. Ironically, Vladimir Putin identified Zelensky’s greatest factor in his success – optimism One old friend testifies that “he was a more romantic person then”. While Putin, the old KGB man, is resentful of what he sees as Russia’s humiliations since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and consumed by the war and desires to rule for life, Zelensky looks forward, if improbably, to a return to entertainment and to winning an Oscar when the war is over and his work done.
