*"Graduated with honors from Faculty of History of the National Pedagogical University. Drahomanov. At the age of 19 she became the face of TV channels “UTAR” and “UT-1″after winning competition for non-professional journalists." *At work, Oksana met her first husband, Yuri Korzh, in marriage with whom she gave birth to a son, Bogdan. *In 1999, Oksana led the ceremony “Ludina roku”, where she met Viktor Medvedchuk. In 2000, Marchenko founded a television company “Omega TV”and in 2003 she married Medvedchuk. *All this time, Oksana devoted her own television projects, hosted a show of her own name, was the host “Ukraine has talent”as well as “X Factor”. *In 2018, Marchenko became participant in “Dances with stars” which caused a scandal. The TV channel staff and the public were against her participation due to her anti-Ukrainian stance. To get out of an unpleasant situation, Marchenko said that she was seriously injured and could no longer dance. *In February 2021, after sanctions imposed against her family for financing terrorists & Russian invaders, she announced she was joining “Opposition platform – For life” party. *A few months before the war, Oksana Marchenko launched a new project called “Pilgrim”. In each episode of the show, the 48-year-old wife of Medvedchuk talks about Orthodox shrines, has conversations with the characters, including Anna German, Philip Kirkorov and priests of the Moscow Patriarchate. By the way, all interview recordings take place in temples, which looks quite strange – among the shrines, a lady in Dolce & Gabbana with spectacular makeup swims, is placed in front of the iconostasis with the hero of the video, where they are measuredly talking about God. *Currrently (4/13/22), she is probably trying to appeal to the electorate, occupying the niche of a deeply religious wife of a politician in Putin’s propaganda machine. *2/22/22, days before Russia invaded Ukraine, she left for Moscow to. meet with Nikolai Baskov, with whom she recorded a new interview for her project. In the video, they talked about faith, about the fact that she did not run away from Ukraine, but came specifically to Nikolai. Baskov tried to appeal to his Ukrainian roots, while she complained a lot about the hate in Ukraine because of her pro-Russian position. *Where Medvedchuk’s wife is now (4/13/22) is unknown. The media report that she is most likely in Moscow or Belarus.
