Vladimir was born in Odessa, Kherson Governorate into an assimilated Jewish family. In 1885, the family moved to Germany due to his father's illness, returning a year later after his father's death. Raised in a middle-class Jewish home, Jabotinsky was educated in Russian schools. Although he studied Hebrew as a child, he wrote in his autobiography that his upbringing was divorced from Jewish faith and tradition. His mother ran a stationary store in Odessa. Jabotinsky dropped out of school at the age of 17 with a guarantee of a job as a correspondent for a local Odessan newspaper.

Story
In April 1902 he was noticed by the Tsar himself for writing feuilletons describing how the Levant nation economy can be improved and Israel nation restored, as well as contributing to a Levantine Royal journal. 1922 was the year Vladimir travelled to the Mandate of Levant where Tsar Nikolai himself granted him governorship of the Mandate of Levant for him being ambitious and loyal to the crown. While Vladimir was a good writer, his governance hadn't brought anything new to already developed Levant. He was rather dull figure in Levantine political theatre dimmed by more popular heads of Levantine prominent families. It was already too late for Vladimir to notice he became puppet of the Tsar and his companions.

Russian Revolution which had took place in 1926 greatly surprised Zhabotinsky and his administration, cutting the supplies and support of the Purple Army. While Tsar had a choice to either escape to Levant or Novomirsk, he had chosen Novomirsk which caused Zhabotinsky to fall into depression. He completely lost his statesman focus, focusing on his family, wife and son survival.

1936 Life
Beginning of the 1930 had became the beginning of the end of the Vladimir's career, as he couldn't find any allies as even in Jewish diaspora he belonged to seen him rather as foreign overseer than one of them. Between 1932-1935 his government was only on paper, and while there was no action taken, the contact between Tsardom and Levant has faded just like the person of Zhabotinsky.

In 1936 Jewish diaspora, indifferent for years now takes opportunity to use weak grip of Vladimir to establish their own powerhouse. What will be the reaction of Zhabotinsky is to be seen.

Character summary
While some may blame Zhabotinsky for being selfish hypocrite, and his reigns can be called worthless consumption of Levant resources, he wasn't a bad man. Caring about his family, staying loyal to tsar and jews suggest he was someone who appeared in wrong place, wrong time. Who knows who would he be in different circumstances...
