Early life and education

edit

Born on 8 July 1985, in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. The Kyiv National I. K. Karpenko-Kary Theatre, Cinema and Television University is where she received her degree. She then went back to Kharkiv and continued to work as a dancer at the Theater 19 in Kharkiv.[2][better source needed]

Managerial career

edit

Snizhana participated in Dracula plays in 2019 and gave a performance during her pregnancy. The actress then shared a fresh tweet in which she claimed that the performance went well and that all she had gone through had been for nothing.[3]

A controversy involving Babkin and his band 5'nizza where performers use the Somewhere Show promoter's services to organize charity concerts overseas; the promoter mostly sells tickets for Russian events.[4][5] Snizhana, the performer's concert director, created a video message to put a stop to this tale.[6] She explained who supports them and how their job is organized overseas, adding that all of the money was handed to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.[7]

Snizhana stood up for her husband when he was accused of singing Russian songs during charity events hosted by the band 5'nizza in the US.[8][9] She stated in her Instagram stories that since the band's concert schedule is nearly entirely composed of Russian songs, it is unnecessary to draw comparisons between the band's and the singer's solo projects in terms of inventiveness.[10] She said, during 2022–2023, they were distributed to charity foundations, Kharkiv volunteers, children, the armed forces,[11] and the 127th Kharkiv City Defense Brigade.[8]

Personal life

Three children are being raised by the couple. 2010 saw her give birth to Veselina, her daughter.[13] From his first marriage, he had a son named Arthur.[14] Elisha, her son, was born to her on 18 June 2019.[15] She discovered three years after the wedding that Babkin had been unfaithful to her on a frequent basis.[16][17]

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Snizhana and her family resided in Germany with her husband and children.[14] They spent some time living overseas as well, ending in November 2022, when Babkin then went back to Ukraine.[18] When Babkin was suspected of fleeing, Snizhana defended him.[19]

As of 8 January 2024, family of Snizhana is currently residing in the US. She shares updates on their adventure on her Instagram. She has previously described their visit to a mall in New York City. Ultimately, she shared a picture in which she was seen at one time with three of her distinctly adult children. The artist walked up to the observation deck with her boys and daughter and took in the view of New York.[20] The family resided in her closest friend's home.[21]
