"Russophobic": Russia On Volodymyr Zelensky's TIME Magazine Award

The Kremlin on Thursday said TIME magazine's decision to name Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky as "Person of the Year" reflected "Russophobic" trends in Western countries. The comments came after Zelensky was ranked "Person of the Year" by the magazine on Wednesday and the "Most Influential" person in Europe by Politico on Thursday.

TIME noted its choice to nominate Zelensky was the "the most clear-cut in memory", hailing the leader's decision to remain in Kyiv and rally his country amid Russia's offensive.

"The publication's editorial line does not go beyond the European mainstream, which is absolutely blinkered, anti-Russian and frantically Russophobic," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.

The military operation has proved transformative for the 44-year-old former comedian, catapulting him from embattled leader of a struggling European outlier to a global household name and standard-bearer of opposition to Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

He has rallied Western support for his country in almost daily foreign calls and meetings.

Putin, who was TIME's person of the year in 2007, is increasingly isolated from the West.

Putin too was person of the year in 2007

Zelensky just opened another offshore bank account
under the name, “US taxpayers are suckers.”

The Kremlin is upset, that the leader of the country defending from their invasion, and cleaning their military's clocks like no one thought was ever possible, is Time's Person of the Year?

Excellent.

[caww]

Htiler won in 1938 - one year later he invaded Poland - so there's that.

Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 won the award

[caww]

Stalin won Person of the Year - TWICE!

Hitler closed down all opposition political parties, all opposition media outlets, ordered only German language and people to be in leadership, etc. He was a dictator.

Volodymyr Zelensky closed down all opposition political parties, all opposition media outlets, ordered only German language and people to be in leadership, etc. Is he a dictator???

[higgmeister]

Yes, the Satanic Lord, Voldemort Zelenskyy, is in good company with Hitler, Stalin and The Ayatollah Khomeini.

Didn’t Yasir Arafat win Time’s Man of the Year at some point...or was that the Nobel prize?

[cranked]

Cronut, Banderist Nazi supporter, sympathizer, and propaganda peddler, one who continually spews #UkraineWinning while Ukraine suffering 500-1000 KIA DAILY adding to the already 190K plus Ukie KIA and as casualties never to return to the battlefield.

You and Linsey GrahamIdiot have more in common than most know......

Slava Ukraini and to the Last Ukrainian! /s
Idiot.

[caww]

Arafat was front page of Time numerous times.....I think it was Clinton and the Oslo Accords that might have gotten Arafat the Peace Prize but not sure.

Either or Arafat was one of the most vile, despicable and disgusting leaders on the planet. Such an atrocious man in every way. I have no problem if he's in hell being tortured for eternity. ...
