 abstract = {The landslide victory of Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Ukraine's presidential runoff is a breakthrough in the post-Soviet space that rarely offers chances to political novices. The vote highlights Ukrainians' discontent with the political establishment. It shows a new set of factors at work in shaping the polls, and civil society's readiness to accept risk to consolidate their fragile democracy. For the European Union and Germany, the change offers an opportunity for new momentum in relations with Ukraine.},
