The Russian telegram channel accused that the Zelenskyy family is a hero as a grandfather and a traitor as a grandson! Zelenskyy's grandfather, Semyon Ivanovich, was a famous battle hero during the Soviet Patriotic War.
Ivanovich joined the army at the age of 18 in 1942 and served as a mortar platoon leader in the renowned elite unit, the Guards 57th Division. According to Soviet records, Ivanovich was a calm and bold person. Although he was only a mortar platoon leader, he dared to pick up a PPSh submachine gun and engage in close combat with infantry during intense battles.
Moreover, this man was very smart in fighting, always able to flexibly utilize the on-site conditions and achieve victory in battles. Therefore, after two years of service, he received the Order of the Red Star.
Ivanovich advanced from Kursk all the way to the Dnieper River, from Ukraine into Poland, and then from Poland into Germany. He ultimately participated in the Battle of Berlin, where the Soviet Union suffered 300,000 casualties. Throughout this journey, as a grassroots officer, it was indeed not easy for Ivanovich to survive completely.
The Russian telegram platform Angel Special Forces Channel stated that Ivanovich's feats are part of our shared history, and Russia holds respect and remembrance for them. However, what did his grandson Zelenskyy choose?
That said, in terms of personality, Zelenskyy is indeed quite similar to his grandfather Ivanovich. Both are the type... At the beginning of his term, Zelenskyy could be said to have low prestige and average ability.
However, the war elevated him. During the Kyiv campaign, Zelenskyy revealed another side of his character - bravery! The White House battle against Trump and Vance further highlighted another characteristic of his personality - unwillingness to give up!
