Focus presents the most recognizable faces of Ukrainian television

For the first time, Focus published the rating of the most successful people on the country's television screens five years ago. The main reason for such a long break is the static nature of the Ukrainian television picture. Channel producers bet on presenters who can retain the audience, and do not risk promoting newcomers. However, Focus rating experts hope that domestic television will still find a new face as more professionals appear on screens.

The leaders of the current rating are Yuri Gorbunov and Masha Efrosinina. It’s interesting that 10 years ago they started together very successfully on the New Channel as the hosts of the morning “Rise.” Now Gorbunov and Efrosinina are one of the most popular TV stars entertainment shows, going to live. Gorbunov is a star evening prime on "1+1", and Efrosinina leads whole line show on New Channel. In the previous Focus rating, they were only in the second half of the list.

Overall rating popular TV presenters has been significantly updated: some of its participants began to appear on screens more often, others changed the channel or completely disappeared from the air. For example, the ex-host of “Facts” on ICTV Ivanna Kobernik left television and became the press secretary of the leader of the “Change Front” Arseniy Yatsenyuk. And Lyudmila Dobrovolskaya, who hosted TSN, but changed the rating “1+1” to the city “Siti”, was not included in the Focus list.

The preliminary list included 130 TV presenters of the most popular programs from the six highest-rated channels in Ukraine. The list was compiled based on data from the Industrial Television Committee (ITC). Then the top 30 presenters were determined by experts - TV directors, producers, media journalists, who assessed each nominee according to three criteria: professionalism, charisma and compliance with the spirit of the channel. When calculating the results, the scores of each participant were summed up.

Among news experts, experts consider Elena Frolyak, the presenter of “Facts” on ICTV, to be the best - she is in 3rd place on the Focus list. By the way, only a third of the presenters represent information programs in the rating. The rest are TV presenters of entertainment and educational programs. This reflects the general trend of decreasing viewer interest in serious, in particular political, information. Five years ago, in the Focus rating, more than half of the participants were news program presenters.

As the rating results show, the size of the show’s audience does not necessarily imply the popularity of the presenter. For example, “Details of the Week” on the Inter TV channel is the leader among news in the country, but its presenter Oleg Panyuta took only 18th place.

The fact that audience sympathies and expert assessments often do not coincide is also evidenced by the fact that the presenter of the Ukrainian version of “Big Difference” Ivan Urgant was included in the Focus list. But his colleague Alexander Tsekalo remained outside the top 30. By the way, Urgant is the only foreign showman among the thirty who hosts programs on Ukrainian television.

There are other people on the list from Russian television- Savik Shuster and Evgeny Kiselev. However, in the Focus ranking, neither foreign experience nor authority helped them beat their format competitor Andrei Kulikov, who settled in 9th place. Savik Shuster was only slightly behind Kulikov, but Evgeniy Kiselev took only 21st place.

The highest-ranking TV presenter can be called Vladimir Zelensky, the host of “Porobleno in Ukraine”, who is also the general producer of “Inter”. Although he did not score high on professionalism, charisma and compliance with the spirit of the channel secured the showman a place in the top ten.

Among the TV channels, the record holder for the number of popular presenters was “1+1” (7 people), followed by “Inter” (6 people). The outsiders are the Ukraina shopping and entertainment complex. After Savik Shuster switched to First National, only Snezhana Egorova can be considered a representative of this channel in the rating.

If you didn’t know, Milla Jovovich was born in Kyiv. She's famous American model and an actress whom the whole world knows. She starred in big budget blockbusters, including The Fifth Element and the Resident Evil film series. Milla is considered one of the world's celebrities with the most beautiful eyes.

And it’s hard to disagree with this, since many world-famous models and actresses have Ukrainian roots. There are real legends about their unique magnificence, and their grace and sexuality are recognized by men all over the world, many of whom deliberately try to marry women of this nationality. Who are they - the most beautiful Ukrainian women? What was their fate? And what role did appearance play in it?

Rumors, research and opinions

First, you need to figure out why Ukrainian women are considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. And is this really so? Sometimes it’s enough to look at girls and women from Ukraine to understand how much their appearance is valued in Europe, Asia and other countries. In addition, this is regularly discussed by the results of independent research, popular foreign publications, couturiers and other representatives of show business. For example, several years ago, one of the most popular publications in America, The Most Beautiful Women, published a book entitled “The Most Beautiful Women of Ukraine.”

Moreover, some researchers in this area have gone further. They managed to identify the city in which, in their opinion, the most beautiful Ukrainian women in the world live. According to preliminary data, this is Kyiv. This is where, according to experts, he lives greatest number beauties

According to other studies, Ukrainian women occupy a leading position in the modeling business, since most agents and representatives of couturiers go to this country in search of new faces. So what is the reason for the wild popularity of these “black-browed and white-faced”?

Causes, effects and opinions

According to many experts who believe that Ukrainian women are the most beautiful, the reason is related to the centuries-old history of the country. The fact is that Ukraine has a convenient geographical position relative to Asia and Europe.

That is why it often became an object for attack and capture by nomadic tribes and representatives of the most different nations. As a result of such raids, mixed families arose. Therefore, through the veins Ukrainian women a chaotic mixture of Tatar, Turkish, Mongolian, Greek, Polish, Persian and other blood flows.

Kindness, openness and sincerity

However, the most beautiful Ukrainian women are famous not only for their impeccable appearance, but also for their easy-going nature, goodwill, sincerity and openness. According to some representatives of modeling agencies, Ukrainian women have some special warmth. It is present everywhere in them: in their gaze, demeanor, gait and even gestures.

In addition, many representatives of this nationality put first place not their career and financial wealth, but family well-being. For the same reason, Ukrainian women are often desirable wives of foreign nationals. Of course, among women from Ukraine there are also those who can easily combine a well-paid job and family. We'll talk about them further.

The most beautiful Ukrainian women: top 50 (Marta Kholod)

Headwear designer Marta Kholod is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful and successful Ukrainian women. The native Kharkov resident dreamed of becoming a fashion designer since childhood. With the same thought, she entered art school. The director of this educational institution managed to put an end to the girl’s future career. By pure chance, the designer forgot the sketches at school, where the director saw them. It was he who saw in the fragile student a talented master of hats.

Today Marta is a sought-after and promising designer in Ukraine and in the world. She sews hats for domestic and foreign show business stars. Her hats are ordered by designers for their clothing lines and worn by models, TV presenters, businesswomen and politicians.

While studying at school, I signed up for a gymnastics club.

When Nadezhda was 12 years old, she was invited to the national Ukrainian gymnastics team. And a year later she became an Honored Master of Sports of her country, and after a similar period of time she achieved the title of “Master of Sports of International Class.” Later, Vasina was lucky enough to perform at the European Championships, the World Universiade and Gymnasium, at the World Cup stages and other honorary championships and competitions.

Many years have passed since that moment. Today Caroline is a successful businesswoman, famous Ukrainian singer, loving wife and mother.
