If Putin (and his Minons) or "others" are so jealous, they could just create fake magazine covers for display in their tacky clubs.....

he is saving his country, & his countrymen
yes you should. Don’t let your anti-west thinking cloud your mind
most anti-west pro Russia fanboys aren’t.
but Putin impresses you though, right ?
so by your logic, the leaders of Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, Belgium, & Holland were all incapable leaders because of their diplomatic failures with hitler.
what about Churchill - he didn’t negotiate with hitler.
Was he an incapable leader ?
And Roosevelt must’ve also been an incapable president because he didn’t negotiate with Japan ?

The selection criteria for ‘Person of the Year’ is in no way a reflection of how good or bad a person is, hitler and stalin were both selected.
It is a measurement of how influential a person was in that year. For this criteria alone Zelensky is a clear choice.
As a reminder putin has also been selected before, many years before he became an obvious maniac.

Congratulations to an inspriational figure. When given a chance to run (by his allies) or to stand and defend his country and his princples, President Zelinski, derided as a comic (in much the same way Regan used to be derided as an actor) rose to the occasion and faced the moment.
Congratulations, Sir. You are an inspiration to most, and an threat to authoritarianism everywhere.

Deserved and earned and achieved international respect for standing up against the brutal warlord Pootin.

Congratulations to him! He decided to stay and stand up for his country and people. He is definitely a hero. I still recall how some countries offered him and his family asylum. He chose to stay and fight. Great for him and his people. I also loved how the Ukranians offered support to the Russians who knew they were tricked into this war.
