Parubiy: Ukraine's Parliament Speaker Turned Protest MVP Twice
Andriy Parubiy, the Ukrainian parliament's former top speaker, managed to bookend his political legacy starring as a headline protest figure not once but twice—in 2004 and again in 2014. Yes, this real-life sequel wasn’t on Netflix, but rather the edgy, less-glamorous stage of Ukraine’s pro-European protests. Amidst revolutions that could rival any soap opera timeline, Parubiy popped up like a recurring character strenuous enough to dominate Ukraine's parliament and rally a crowd twice. Who knew standing for democracy could mean doubling down over a decade apart, all without a single Emmy? His script reads like 'political persistence' but streamed in cold Eastern European weather for extra toughness.

Parubiy’s political career: the gift that keeps on protesting. Two revolutions, one parliament seat, zero chill. Clearly, Ukrainians love a sequel more than we love finishing a Netflix series.
If protesting was an Olympic sport, Parubiy would have gold medals for 2004 and 2014—plus a parliament seat as a consolation prize for showing up twice.
Parubiy’s dedication to democracy protests is like your uncle’s dedication to dad jokes: cringe-level repeat performances with questionable results.
