Servant of the People

The Ukrainian Servant of the People political party, named after a popular television show in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, before his political career, played the role of the President of Ukraine, is a political entity that emerged prominently on the Ukrainian political scene in the late 2010s. The party, closely associated with Zelensky, was officially registered in 2018 and quickly rose to prominence, reflecting a wave of anti-establishment sentiment among the Ukrainian populace. Its rapid ascent to power was marked by its significant victory in the 2019 parliamentary ele…  ctions, which allowed it to form a government.

The Servant of the People party positions itself as a centrist, reformist force, aiming to bridge the gap between the old guard of Ukrainian politics and the demands of a younger, more progressive electorate. Its values and policies are rooted in the pursuit of transparency, anti-corruption measures, and significant reforms in areas such as the economy, judiciary, and social services. The party advocates for a more inclusive, democratic political process in Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of engaging citizens in governance and decision-making.

Economically, the Servant of the People promotes liberalization and the creation of a favorable environment for entrepreneurship and investment, while also supporting social programs to protect the vulnerable segments of the population. In terms of foreign policy, the party is pro-European Union and NATO, reflecting a desire to integrate more closely with Western institutions and standards, while also navigating the complex relationship with Russia, especially in light of the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine.

The party's approach to governance and its policy priorities reflect Zelensky's own image as an outsider and reformer, aiming to dismantle the entrenched networks of power and corruption that have long been perceived as obstacles to Ukraine's development. Through its actions and policies, the Servant of the People seeks to transform Ukraine into a more transparent, efficient, and democratic state, capable of securing its sovereignty and achieving prosperity for its citizens.
