Volodymyr Zelensky and The Spirit of Ukraine Named TIME’s 2022 Person Of The Year

Dec 7, 2022 | 11:50 AM

TIME named Volodymyr Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine the 2022 Person Of The Year. “Volodymyr Zelensky’s success as a wartime leader has relied on the fact that courage is contagious.” Zelensky is a former comedian and actor and current President of the Ukraine since 2019.

TIME also named The Women of Iran as the Heroes Of The Year TIME and Gregory Robinson and The  James Webb Telescope as the Innovator Of The Year.

Elon Musk was the Person Of The Year in 2021 and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 20220.

TIME’s Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal explains why Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine was chosen as the 2022 Person of the Year

The process of choosing the Person of the Year—who or what most influenced the events of the past 12 months, for good or for ill—can be agonizing. How could one person represent an entire year? Do we lean into the light, reach into the darkness, or land somewhere in between?

This year’s choice was the most clear-cut in memory. Whether the battle for Ukraine fills one with hope or with fear, Volodymyr Zelensky galvanized the world in a way we haven’t seen in decades. In the weeks after Russian bombs began falling on Feb. 24, his decision not to flee Kyiv but to stay and rally support was fateful. From his first 40-second Instagram post on Feb. 25—showing that his Cabinet and civil society were intact and in place—to daily speeches delivered remotely to the likes of houses of Parliament, the World Bank, and the Grammy Awards, Ukraine’s President was everywhere. His information offensive shifted the geopolitical weather system, setting off a wave of action that swept the globe.
