Horace Bloom Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler: Making A Serious Comparison Book details How dare you compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler! Haven't you heard of Godwin's Law? Let's talk about this. There's a cultural taboo against considering Nazi ideology in the context of present day politics. Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler by Horace Bloom confronts this taboo with responsibility, entering into a serious examination of the political histories of the Third Reich and our own time. Bloom's work isn't a diatribe, but carefully pays attention to both the similarities and differences between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler, and the contexts in which they have risen to power. With the spread of political violence in the United States, and growing extremism in the 2016 presidential election, the comparison between Trump and Hitler has become unavoidable. However, a presidential candidate as breathtakingly original as Donald Trump deserves more than just a snigger here and a snide remark there. Horace Bloom delivers a powerful review of the relevance of the darkest days the 20th century to the essential decisions we are faced with in our own time. Don't cast your vote in the 2016 presidential election without confronting the complex web of connections between Trump and Hitler.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s career in acting and comedy spans over two decades and is a significant part of his public persona before he transitioned into politics. Here’s a detailed look at his roles and contributions in the entertainment industry: Early Beginnings in Comedy Zelenskyy’s entry into comedy began during his teenage years in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. While studying law at the Kryvyi Rih Economic Institute, he became involved in theater and performance. His talent for humor and improvisation led him to join the KVN (Club of the Funny and Inventive People), a popular Soviet and post-Soviet comedy competition that pits teams against each other in skits and stand-up routines. In 1997, at the age of 19, Zelenskyy co-founded the comedy troupe Kvartal 95 (named after the 95th Quarter, a district in Kryvyi Rih), which became the cornerstone of his entertainment career. He initially performed as part of the troupe and later took on leadership roles, writing scripts and directing sketches. Kvartal 95 gained prominence through KVN, competing on televised stages across the former Soviet Union. Zelenskyy’s sharp wit, charisma, and ability to connect with audiences helped the team stand out. After achieving success in KVN, he shifted the troupe’s focus from live competitions to producing standalone comedy content, marking the start of his professional career in entertainment. Transition to Television and Film In 2003, Zelenskyy transformed Kvartal 95 into a production company, expanding its reach into television and film. The company partnered with Ukrainian channels like 1+1 and Inter TV to produce a variety of shows, including comedy sketches, game shows, and scripted series. From 2011 to 2012, Zelenskyy served as the general producer of Inter TV, a major Ukrainian network, overseeing its programming slate. During this period, he honed his skills as a producer while continuing to perform. As an actor, Zelenskyy appeared in numerous projects, often playing everyman characters with a comedic twist. His on-screen persona typically blended humor with relatability, appealing to a broad Ukrainian audience. Some of his notable acting roles include: Love in the Big City (2009) and its sequels (Love in the Big City 2 and 3): A series of romantic comedies where Zelenskyy played Artem, a dentist navigating love and life in Moscow alongside friends. The films, produced by Kvartal 95, were box-office hits in Ukraine and Russia, showcasing his ability to carry a feature-length comedy. Office Romance. Our Time (2011): A modern remake of the Soviet classic Office Romance, where Zelenskyy starred as Anatoly Novoseltsev, a bumbling office worker vying for a promotion and love. His performance leaned heavily on physical comedy and charm. Rzhevsky vs. Napoleon (2012): A historical satire where Zelenskyy played Napoleon Bonaparte in a farcical take on the 1812 French invasion of Russia. The film highlighted his versatility in over-the-top comedic roles. 8 First Dates (2012) and subsequent sequels: Another romantic comedy franchise where he portrayed a TV presenter caught in a time-loop romance, cementing his status as a leading comedic actor in Ukraine. In these films, Zelenskyy often played characters who were likable underdogs—ordinary men thrust into absurd or romantic situations—mirroring the persona he’d later adopt in his most famous role. Servant of the People and Breakthrough Role Zelenskyy’s defining contribution to entertainment came with the television series Servant of the People (Sluga Narodu), which aired from 2015 to 2019 on the 1+1 channel. He starred as Vasyl Petrovych Holoborodko, a humble history teacher who becomes Ukraine’s president after a viral video of him ranting about corruption catapults him to fame. The satirical series, produced by Kvartal 95, ran for three seasons and became a cultural phenomenon in Ukraine. As Holoborodko, Zelenskyy portrayed an idealistic everyman fighting a corrupt political system with humor and determination. The role showcased his comedic timing and dramatic range, as the character evolved from a bumbling outsider to a principled leader. Zelenskyy also served as a producer and co-writer, shaping the show’s biting critique of Ukrainian politics. The series’ premise—later echoed in his real-life presidential campaign—blurred the lines between fiction and reality, with lines like “I’m not a politician, I’m just a regular guy” resonating deeply with viewers. Servant of the People aired 51 episodes across its run, with Zelenskyy appearing in nearly all of them. Its success extended beyond Ukraine, gaining popularity in Russia and other post-Soviet states, and later being picked up by streaming platforms like Netflix after his rise to political prominence. Other Entertainment Ventures Beyond acting, Zelenskyy lent his voice to animated characters, notably as Paddington Bear in the Ukrainian dubs of Paddington (2014) and Paddington 2 (2017), bringing his playful energy to family audiences. He also appeared on Ukrainian versions of international formats like Dancing with the Stars, winning the competition in 2006, which further boosted his celebrity status. Legacy in Comedy and Acting Zelenskyy’s entertainment career was marked by his ability to blend humor with social commentary, often poking fun at bureaucracy, corruption, and the absurdity of everyday life in Ukraine. His work with Kvartal 95 and his starring roles made him a household name, earning him a reputation as a versatile performer with a knack for relatable characters. By the time he entered politics in 2019, he had starred in over a dozen films and TV projects, many of which he also produced or co-wrote, demonstrating his multifaceted talents. This background in comedy and acting not only shaped his public image but also provided the foundation for his unconventional political ascent, leveraging his fame and outsider persona to connect with voters disillusioned by the establishment.
