Oksana Marchenko

Oksana Marchenko is a well-known Ukrainian TV presenter, best known to viewers for the projects "Ukraine's Got Talent" and "X-Factor" on the STB channel.

The journalist is the wife of pro-Russian oligarch and politician Viktor Medvedchuk, who in turn is a godfather-in-law (kum) of Vladimir Putin.

The couple has a son, Bohdan, and a daughter, Daryna, who is the goddaughter of the Russian president and Svetlana Medvedeva.

The presenter was repeatedly involved in high-profile scandals after the Revolution of Dignity, which is why she was removed from many TV shows. In 2018, she returned to show business in the project "Dancing with the Stars", which caused a wave of outrage among viewers, journalists and show participants.

Viktor Medvedchuk also confirmed that Oksana Marchenko owns one of the largest oil fields in Russia, but he manages the business himself.
