Context

After Volodimir Zelensky was elected president of Ukraine in real life in 2019 with 73% of the vote, and after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the series was taken over and broadcast in several countries on on-air and cable television. The series is also being picked up by Netflix in several countries, but is not yet available on the Romanian-language Netflix channel. Check availability on Netflix in your country.

The series "In the Service of the People" / "The Servant of the People" appeared in 2015 as a political satire. The film parody describes political and social realities in Ukraine, but which are characteristic, on one scale or another, of other ex-communist countries, including Romania: widespread corruption, demagogy, social inequity, the existence of a hidden control over the economy and politics, existing immorality in circles of power, but also in other levels of society. The series came a year after Euromaidan - the large pro-European demonstrations in Kyiv - which had resulted in the flight of pro-Russian Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych, the beginning of separatist conflicts in the Donbas and the occupation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. Petro Poroshenko, a former politician who had been close to Yanukovych, has been President of Ukraine since 2014. but he had sided with the Euromaidan. After the success of season 1 of "In the Service of the People"/„The Servant of the People” series, Vladimir Zelensky was tested in opinion polls as a potential candidate for the presidency of Ukraine. Also as a result of this success, Zelensky registered the Sluga Narodu party, but it is not clear if it will be a real political movement or if this gesture was part of the marketing strategy of the series. After the appearance of season 2, which further expanded Zelensky's popularity, he announced his intention to run for the presidency of Ukraine. In 2019, after an atypical campaign, Vladimir Zelenski became president of Ukraine, being massively voted by young people in Russian-speaking regions as well.
