Anna-Lena Laurén: the Awakening of Ukraine's new president Zelenskyj can be uncomfortable

He became a star in the Ukraine thanks to her role in a tv series: An unknown history who became president by chance.

In reality, Volodymyr Zelenskyj a Ukrainian celebrity, who was president of a coincidence.

exit polls that give Zelenskyj 73.2 per cent against to 25.3 for Petro Porosjenko is completely in line with all opinion polls. The final results will come at the earliest in the morning. When the 1.08% of the votes had not been counted had Zelenskyj 70,36% and Porosjenko 27,29%.

To Zelenskyj has triumphed is, in practice, already clear. Incumbent president Petro Porosjenko has been defeated.

a systematic campaign who have gone on to say: I is an alternative to the establishment.

the Campaign was cleverly executed and extremely effective. In fact, it is no wonder that Zelenskyj was so good. President Petro Porosjenko acted itself in a way that transformed the elections into a show.

instead of pushing Zelenskyj on the issues, which he mastered much better, have Porosjenko tried to portray its opponents as Putin's puppet. The result was pajkastning where Zelenskyj appeared to be considerably more restrained than the all nervösare sitting president.

Show business is something Zelenskyj can. Much better than Porosjenko.

was elected president, the situation is completely different. The Ukrainian policies and economy, consists in the practice of rival clans and groupings.

Porosjenkos advantage was that he knew how he would keep them under control, negotiate and make trade-offs. It was at the same time his problems. Porosjenko is a part of the system.

It is not Zelenskyj. But to come outside and break an established system that has hovered over Ukraine like a wet blanket for almost three decades, will be no easy task. It is also one of the Zelenskyjs main election promises. He also says that he wants to let the people decide all important issues through referendums.

– All post-soviet countries: Look at us! Everything is possible, said Zelenskyj in a comment after the first numbers came in.

At this point, the Zelenskyj the right. It is a great thing that Ukraine is no longer a country where the sitting president can cheat home options.

Ukrainian channel Hromadske is western ambassadors who have met Zelenskyj not impressed by him. While the election was going on met Zelenskyj all the ambassadors of the G7 countries. A european diplomat says to the Hromadske to Zelenskyj gave the impression that at all did not understand why he needs to discuss with the ambassadors.

the Question is how quickly Zelenskyj can learn. He has several competent advisors and will by all accounts get a strong mandate by the people.

But he must himself decide what he wants. Most political questions cannot be referred to referendums.
