Incredible video. I don't think I'll ever forget it. Though I am afraid nothing will make Putin stop, I wish the whole world would see it.

Great analysis, too. Thank you!

Another excellent analysis of a Zelensky speech. I've watched it several times. I do not know of any political leader who has made a speech that weaved together video, music, and spoken word. The setting, outdoors at night in Kyiv, Zelensky dressed in his war uniform, was simple and dramatic. The closest I can think of is a convention video that introduces a candidate. When this war ends, it would be fascinating to have an analysis of all his speeches, looking at them as a whole. Perhaps even including a look at his interviews and press conferences. It might make a fine magazine article, Mr. Fallows!
