Oksana Marchenko did not immediately succeed in implementing this recipe for happiness to the popular TV star. "I'm getting weird," she laughs today.
"I only achieve everything with extreme difficulties." For example, she could just graduate from high school. But no! First, a popular TV star Oksana Marchenko entered the medical school after the eighth grade, but then her mother herself took the documents: the daughter was supposed to help her with her little brother. Marchenko returned to her school. "Of course, I could not even dream of a gold medal. But two years of hard work have returned lost: I still got a medal. "
"And I'm also writing an autobiographical book," Oksana Marchenko, a popular TV star, admitted. As if the role of TV presenter, mother, wife, head of the production company is not enough for her. True, the work on the manuscript dragged on: firstly, there are already a lot of worries, and secondly, as Marchenko herself said, even Alexander Dumas-father would envy her life story.
The name came up with a long time - "Love me." "Actually, being loved is what I most wanted in life. In my opinion, this is a universal recipe for happiness for all. "
Family happiness with the first husband, too, did not work. "But I married with the installation to be an exemplary wife," - Oksana sincerely hoped that this marriage would be the only one in her life. It did not work out ... After the birth of Bogdan's son Oksana and his spouse lived separately. "He actually lived with my parents, and I - with a child."
"Bogdan's son was very difficult for me. I could only get pregnant a few years after the wedding. And after I got to Jerusalem, I wrote a note with a request to God ... The birth of the popular TV star Oksana Marchenko was very difficult: eighteen hours after the waters had left, I had to do cesarean. Then I trembled with fear that the child did not have cerebral palsy, because this is often due to such difficult births. "
Three weeks after the birth of his son, the popular TV star Oksana Marchenko again almost lost him. "We could not give the child a name for a long time. My husband's parents wanted one thing, I'm different. Now I understand that I had to give in, but after all, "heart with pepper". There is an old tradition: on the sixth day, when the name is chosen, the prayer of naming is pronounced. But we all thought, argued! As a result, my father gave the name to his grandson, after actually saving his life. Even today it's scary to remember. The child choked and began to choke. I did not know what to do with fright. Thank God, mom and dad were at home. Still, three children, many grandchildren ... Mom was sitting on the phone with an "ambulance", and his dad was shaking and made him breathe in this way. And when the baby cried, he said: "Everything will be my grandson Bogdan" ... But these were not all the tests.
After some time, a popular TV star Oksana Marchenko and a child were hospitalized with influenza. And after discharge, the young mother decided to move with her son to a private house owned by her parents. In the evenings, they made repairs there. So "restored" two rooms. "I'm in this hole because of the hysterical fear that someone sneezes at the baby, did not let anyone. Only my parents came to help me. My husband did not let me go in the corridor. I talked to him through the glass. "
One day in December , a popular TV star Oksana Marchenko came to a doctor for a routine examination of the baby. She went out to carry him to the gate. "I turn around to go back and see how the door slams shut. I'm wearing slippers, a robe, and there's only one child left in the house. The first thought: "But suddenly he will choke again or fall out of the stroller!" And I begin to panic around the house in a panic. All closed. In the tiny windows are already inserted double frames, hooks and locks everywhere that are not hacked. An impregnable fortress! Run to my mother? But I'm even afraid to leave the house. Then I climbed a tree to get to the ventilator at the top. I barely squeezed into it and fell to the floor from a height of three meters. I'm lying down. I only understand that I did not break and did not seem to break anything. Silence. She looked at the child - he was sleeping. And here in this empty house I began to cry out of self-pity. I was reassured by Bogdan's children's toy - bees, which were spinning under some very pleasant music. By the way, he was also very fond of her. It was our "psycho training".
The day when she realized that she should do everything herself
When my son turned nine months old, Oksana went to work. There is a photo where the grandfather keeps the crying Bogdan on his hands, which stretches to the TV. On the screen - my mother conducts a concert at the festival "Tavriyskie Igry." Without television, Marchenko does not represent himself. Although she admits that she was never there easily, from the very beginning, when she first fell into the box. It happened when she entered the first year of the faculty of history at the Pedagogical University. The guy with whom the popular TV star Oksana Marchenko met in the pioneer camp (she was a pioneer leader, and he is a music director), said that the TV presenter was looking for the TV channel "UTAR". A pretty young lady liked the director, and already at the end of the autumn Marchenko worked on TV. "I still remember this long road to the mountain in Podol, where our studio was located. There was no transport, I had to walk. It was very difficult to study at a hospital, then to run to work, thence to a historical library. In my opinion, only youthful maximalism helped me then. "
A few years later, a popular TV star Oksana Marchenko - the host of the program "Good Morning, Ukraine". Today, she said, she would not have agreed to anything like that. "At four o'clock in the morning you are already on your feet, and at ten you finish the work. You write texts and go home to sleep. And I do not want to sleep anymore. In addition, you need to do something, to meet someone. I lasted a year and a half. Completely knocked down my biological clock. At the same time, I was already married, but my husband and I started to quarrel. Apparently, due to constant overloads, my nerves got shattered. To improve her health, she lived for several months in a sanatorium and from there went to work. "
But the audience of UT-1 fell in love with a pretty TV presenter. The letters came to the editorial office with sacks. These outpourings of spectator love and ruined Marchenko's career at the time. "Jealousy and envy - a common phenomenon on television. Colleagues are ready to strangle you for success. Then it turned out that the leading men are monstrous daffodils. Even worse women! Jealous: how, she received three bags of letters, and he - only one ?! "Her colleague-TV host was appointed the head of the program. At the general meeting of the team, the new chief read out a list of people who remain (this word he particularly stressed) in the program. And Oksana was not on the list.
At that moment, the popular TV star Oksana Marchenko was in the second month of pregnancy (she was expecting Bogdanchik's birth). "It was the child who changed me. I could not be the same. I needed to think about him first. I understood: I must do everything myself. " Returned to work - leading news on UT-1. And after a while she founded the television company Omega-TV and released several successful projects: My Profession, Hour and the documentary cycle about the outstanding personalities of our country, Names.
The day the echo appeared
It turned out that television not only breeds, but also reduces people. In this Oksana was convinced more than 10 years ago. In a live broadcast on UT-1, she conducted the ceremony "Man of the Year." On this occasion I sewed myself a beautiful suit, left in the dressing room, and when I came to change, found that the skirt had disappeared. Go past without greeting, it seemed impolite. While greetings were exchanged, photographers came running. Victor unfolded a popular TV star Oksana Marchenko for a better perspective. But the girl was distracted by a colleague, they began to discuss working moments, and then Oksana dictated to him her phone. Victor Medvedchuk, it turns out, heard and remembered this number. Next to her was a loving man who cared for her, cared for, helped. "Everything suited me! Apparently, this was not enough for him. Popular TV star Oksana Marchenko does not hide that she was happy, although she never started talking about any changes in the relationship. "But the seal has never kept anyone. Keep people together can only love. And we were well together. "
A tender feeling held them together, and the union of the two hearts gradually developed in traditions: every spring they left for the Crimea to celebrate her birthday.
True, it seems like a fairy tale about Cinderella? But only a fairy-tale heroine did not occur to anyone to blame that she married the prince by calculation. "I was annoyed that everyone said that I had married money. I'm sorry, but for no means you can not pretend for so many years! When we had a difficult period with my husband, I told him: "I'm with you just because I love." And it offended me that someone allowed me to lower me to the level of a being that could lead to money. "
In 2004, a popular TV star Oksana Marchenko and Medvedchuk had a daughter, Dasha. The daughter's name was chosen by all classmates of the older brother of the girl. "Everyone drew what Bogdan's sister imagined, and came up with his own name. It turned out how many children there were - so many names. " At home, they held a "second round of elections". Each wrote on a piece of paper for three options. When the results were checked, it turned out that one name coincided with everyone - Dasha.
Day of talent discovery
"Now my husband and I have started a new stage. He wants my undivided attention, and I need to do a lot. I do not want to be for my children a person who does not create, does not change, does not know anything new. I'm always interesting for them! They are constantly surprised. "
For the new show "Ukraine May Talent" Oksana Marchenko, indeed, completely changed the image. For the first time, viewers saw jeans and sneakers instead of evening dresses and strict suits. She changed her hair, began to look like a mischievous girl, fussy and at the same time able to cry with the participants, and internally became another - easier, more accessible and more open. However, Oksana says that this has always been, just the project gave the opportunity to all this to manifest.
Interestingly, the idea to make this show was born just a day. She was telephoned by STB CEO Vladimir Borodyansky and offered to watch several discs of the English and American versions of the talent show. Many hours did not come off the screen. And in the end we decided: of course, we need to make a program about talents! By the way, this is the only show to which the spouse is not jealous of the TV host, and even gave the "good" to change the image.
On the set, Oksana had to discover many talents in herself. She stood on stilts, even threw knives into a man. "I rarely go home during casting. Once my husband even asked me to take him on a business trip. But I told him at once: that's just not it! I have to concentrate on work! I live this really and root for every talented person, I'm very upset when I hear the referee's "No" and I rejoice with all my heart the victory of each participant. " This spring the second season of the project "Ukraine May Talent" starts. Obviously, we will open many more talents: in ourselves, and in Oksana.
