## Biography

### *Servant of the People (Sluha Narodu/Sluga Naroda)*

Vasily was a divorced man that lives with his parents, elder sister and niece. His wife Olga leaves him and took their son Dima with her after divorce by consent, which leads them both to share their son's custody.

    After a simple history teacher Vasily Goloborodko becomes famous thanks to a viral video with his foul-mouthed tirade denouncing the corrupt government of Ukraine and the electoral contribution gained with the help of crowd funding organized by his own students, Vasily becomes the new president of Ukraine. Prime minister of the country Yuri Chuyko arrives at Vasily's apartment to meet president and introduce him to the world of politics, in parallel, unsuccessfully trying to corrupt him, now and then advising *"not to think much"* and cooperate with the oligarchs.

Having taken his loyal team of friends to the posts of ministers, Goloborodko begins to investigate a large-scale corruption scheme with the theft of a huge amount of money from the country's budget.

Meanwhile, group of powerful oligarchs try to bribe the members of Goloborodko’s team to manipulate him, when they realize that the new president of Ukraine is not a puppet of any of them. Businessmen are convinced that they have succeeded when each of the Goloborodko’s team members takes a bribe. The process of taking bribes was captured on camera so that the oligarchs could blackmail Goloborodko, but it turns out that all this was Vasily's plan. Huge amounts of money transferred as bribes are sent to the budget of Ukraine and the oligarchs realize that they have been tricked. After Goloborodko refused a direct offer to cooperate with them for a huge sum of money, furious oligarchs decide to remove Vasily from their path, ordering his murder on the political talk show "Dialog". At this very show, to which, in addition to the president himself, Prime Minister Chuyko was invited, Vasily reveals his plan, which he, together with the head of the SBU, had been preparing for a long time in order to uncover and catch the organizer of the largest corruption scheme. It turns out to be the Prime Minister Chuyko and Yuri is arrested live.

Meanwhile, the oligarchs' agent Savitsky, whom they hired to kill Goloborodko, is already aiming at the him from under the stands, but Tolik, the president's faithful bodyguard, saves Vasily at the very last moment, knocking out the assassin.

### Season 2: From Love to Impeachment

President Vasily Goloborodko has been in power for almost six months. To stabilize the situation in the country, Goloborodko needs to receive financial assistance from the IMF, which can be provided if reforms are introduced in Ukraine and anti-corruption laws. However, the Verkhovna Rada, which is secretly led by oligarchs, blocks the vote on the package of these laws.

Vasily is forced to seek help from Yuri Chuyko, whom he himself put behind bars after a corruption scandal. Chuyko is developing a clever strategy in which it is necessary to artificially create a conflict of interests among the oligarchs and force the Verkhovna Rada to adopt a package of unpopular anti-corruption laws among deputies. After staging Chuiko's death, as a result of the explosion of the truck that "transported" him from prison, Vasily and Yuri go on a trip to Ukraine while the oligarchs try to stop them by hiring "titushky", the brute mercenary agents. The duo succeeds in carrying out their plans and Vasily allows Yuriy to escape from the country.

After the failed reforms carried out at the request of the IMF, Goloborodko resigns, but puts forward his candidacy for the next presidential election of Ukraine. The second half of the season is entirely devoted to his attempts to win back the love of the people with the help of a spectacular election program, while the oligarchs are trying to beat him in the election race with their puppet Dmitry Surikov. Villains are also trying to spoil Goloborodko's rating as much as possible, using his absolute double a fraudster Grigory Buryanenko to discredit Vasily.

Surikov freezes Yuri Chuyko's accounts in order to lure him out of the shadows and give false testimony against Vasily on television. Surikov wins the election and imprisons Goloborodko.

### Season 3: Choice

Vasily meets Yuri in prison when Chuyko saves him from an assassination attempt, organised by the oligarchs. While Goloborodko is behind bars the government of Ukraine is replaced many times. EU leaders react to the chaos in Ukraine and help Chuiko to be released from custody by making him EU Representative for Ukraine. After recounting the votes from Surikov's election, Vasily Goloborodko becomes president again, and Yuriy becomes his curator. Together, the duo is bringing together Ukraine, after it was split into a huge number of subjects.

With the help of Goloborodko's new state policy, the people of the newly united Ukraine are raising enough money to pay off the country's incredible external debt in just one week, finally giving Ukraine true independence.

## Personality

The character of Vasily Goloborodko changes greatly over the course of his story. At first, Vasily appears as a poor and unsuccessful high school history teacher, who lives with his parents after divorcing his wife. Goloborodko was a characterless person and did not react to the obvious lawlessness of the school and other state systems of Ukraine until his patience finally overflowed. Goloborodko's terrifying foul-mouthed tirade, denouncing the boundless and endless vices of the government of Ukraine and each of its members, which he broke out in the middle of the school day when his students were sent to build "booths" for voting instead of a history lesson, becomes famous on the Internet and in the whole country. It was this emotional explosion of pure uncensored honesty that became the primary reason why Goloborodko won the election.

At first, after becoming president of the country, Goloborodko feels uncomfortable, awkward, and even stunned when faced with a huge number of unnecessary assistants and luxury for the sake of the luxury. Fortunately, Vasily quickly comes to his senses and begins to implement his plan, despite the two-faced and cunning Prime Minister Yuri Chuyko, who is desperately trying to corrupt him. President Goloborodko is learning to make important decisions and put up with misunderstandings of the electorate on the way to becoming a real strong ruler and a true *servant of the people*.

Since he is a history teacher by profession, when making any decision on the development of the country, Vasily is always referred by historical experience to both his predecessors and famous foreign rulers, philosophers and political figures. Moreover, one of the many artistic features of the show is the frequent visits to Vasily's imagination paid by the prominent historical figures, such as: Plutarch, Herodotus, Gaius Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, Al Capone and Niccolo Machiavelli, who advise him what to do.

In his speech, Goloborodko often quotes other famous politicians and historical figures. He was also absent-minded, kind and fatherly perfect towards his son Dima and polite and good to his friends and the other politicians.

## Inaugural Speech

### Overview

Vasily reads this speech at his presidential inauguration, the first part of which is a clear tracing of the famous "Hettisberg speech" speech of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, but the second part of it is an internal impulse of the newly made President of Ukraine and is said from the heart.

This speech was a turning in the formation of the further course of activity of the new President.

### Text of speech

*Dear, fellow citizens!*

*A quarter of the century ago, we began to build a new nation born in freedom with the belief in the equality of all citizens.*

*Excuse me, can I do better in my own words... You know I'm a simple history teacher. Such a story the history teacher got into history. Funny According to the plan, I had to promise you all a lot of things, but I won't promise. Firstly, it's not fair, and secondly, I don't understand anything about it at all. But that's for now. I'll figure it out. I promise.*

*But I know one thing, you need to act in such a way that way that you don't be ashamed to look at the children in the eyes, and your parents, and all of you. That's it, Ukrainians, I promise you.*

## Physical Appearance

Right after the surgeries have finished, he wears a white and grey pyjamas and had a nasal cannula in his nose to help him breathe due to his trouble breathing. He also was hooked to the machines and IVs.
