In 2014, shortly after the Maidan coup stoked by Victoria Nuland, Zelensky was a professional comedian. This video shows his standup routine delivered to a national TV audience in which Zelensky makes light of the Ukrainian regime's support for the neoNazi "Banderite" battalions who were at the time committing atrocities across the east and south of Ukraine.
The routine's format is a mock "letter" to his "uncle" (think: 'Hello Muddah') from a recruit into a Nazi battalion in Ukraine's war on the Donbas region after Nuland's coup in 2014. Half the audience laughs; the other half is appalled. Transcript:
ZELENSKY reads mock "letter" to "uncle":
0:30 "Dear Uncle... things will be alright because I am in the ranks of the [neo-Nazi] Banderites" AUDIENCE LAUGHTER
0:40 "This [ie fighting in a Nazi battalion] is the only way to make money in Ukraine... My salary is small but we are allowed to steal from the Russians" LAUGHTER
0:50 "The same [theft] happened to the Jews, but then the main Bandera man, [Jewish billionaire Igor] Kolomoisky prohibited it"
NERVOUS LAUGHTER, PEOPLE LOOKING DOWN
1:08 "As for me, I'm learning English to forget Russian -- with the help of American mercenaries. They're all over the place."
LESS LAUGHTER
1:17 "I have married: his name is Vadik! This is normal for us Europeans..."
1:35 "Today our president, Barack Obama, has promised us we will join NATO soon - as an American henchman, of course."
1:46 "If you can, please send me Hitler's book, Mein Kampf. They're sold out here." LAUGHTER
Zelensky ends by giving a Nazi salute three times after delivering this last punch line:
1:57 "I do morning exercises on the balcony. I do it like this [Nazi salute, repeated], from my heart to the sun"
This is the obscene little puppet who makes light of his own corruption - he is a protege of the corrupt oligarch Igor Kolomoisky - and his country's open embrace of neo-Nazis. At the same time that those monsters were torturing killing and burning their neighbors.
