Roman Hryshchuk, 32, is in a basement in Kyiv, protected against a possible attack, as he speaks to ARA by video conference. He is a member of the Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, for one of the capital's ten districts. He is in the same party as Volodymyr Zelensky, Servant of the People, which takes its name from the TV political satire that starred the now president before he made the leap into politics and became the character of the year and perhaps the decade. Hours before the online meeting, Roman Hryshchuk was awoken by the impact of a missile very close to his home.
