Folk artists came to Ukraine before the full Russian invasion, but after February 24, 2022, they supported the Russian Federation.
Ukrainian actress Vitalina Bibliv said for the first time that at the age of 16 she officially changed her first and last name on her birth certificate to avoid Russianization. He spoke about this in an interview with oboz.ua.
According to him, as a child his first name was written as “Vita” and his last name was “Bibliva”.
“When it was time to get a passport, I went and changed my birth certificate, where I wrote my name – Vitalina. And my last name – Bibliv, because Bibliv is written. What can you say to this, Soviet Union: women surnames must end with “a”. Really, Is it funny? I didn’t either. I corrected all that stupidity, and from the age of 16 – Vitalina Bibliv,” he said.
At the same time, the star of the Budinochok for Happiness series also added that he owes his name to his brother. The family decided what to call it together. So the relatives decided to use the random method, choosing only one of the pieces of paper with names.
“They put options on my father’s cap. I could be Larisa, Nina. And my brother then fell in kindergarten with a girl named Vitalina. Well, they wrote it too. They pulled him out . And when my father enrolled, they said the wrong one had no name. Like, it will be Vita. And that’s what they called me for a long time. Even now, when I come to my parents in Vasilkov, my name is Vita my neighbor to me. In class. – Vika, Vita,” the star continued.
We remind you that the singer from Ivano-Frankivsk Irina Vykhovanets, better known as FIЇNKA, became the heroine of a propaganda poster.
