In Russia, only a few know her name. Nevertheless, Danilenko is one of the few modern journalists who possess incredible charm, perseverance of character and intelligence. In a conversation with her, even the most powerful politicians begin to speak frankly and admit to difficult things. We tell where Tatyana Danilenko came from, how she began to engage in journalism, about her personal life and career now.
Biography
Tatyana Vladimirovna Danilenko was born on October 30, 1983 in the north-west of Ukraine, in the city of Zhytomyr, which is located on the Teterev River. This is one of the oldest settlements of Kievan Rus. Now the city is divided into only two districts, and no more than 300 thousand people live in it. Zhytomyr is known for few things, but this place is the birthplace of the founder of the Soviet cosmonautics Sergei Pavlovich Korolev and the great pianist of the last century Svyatoslav Teofilovich Richter.
Tatyana was born into a family of philologists. Her father was the famous writer Vladimir Danilenko, and her mother worked as a teacher of the Ukrainian language. On the Internet, unfortunately, there is no photo from the biography of Tatyana Danilenko of this period.
Becoming a professional
The future famous journalist began her career early. From the age of 16 she began to work in the newspaper "Ukrainian Word", where she made good publications. In 2001, when Tatyana was 18 years old, her family decided to move from Zhytomyr to Kiev. There, the girl enters the Institute of Journalism of Kiev National University. Shevchenko, respectively, in the direction of "Journalism".
Two years after a fruitful study, Tatyana Danilenko masters the information field of Kiev and begins working as a correspondent in the program "Vіkna-stolitsya" on the STB channel. She worked there until 2004. Immediately after this, Tatyana gets a job on Channel 5 and becomes a parliamentary correspondent.
Danilenko successfully tries himself as a presenter and in the mid-2000s becomes the face of the program "Hour of New Things." After a couple of years, she was invited to the "Hour: Pids Bags Tizhnia", and in 2012, Tatyana began working at "Hour: Pids Bags for the Day." A high indicator of professionalism of Danilenko was the television marathon "Ukrainian Independence", which was held from August 23 to 25, 2011 and was dedicated to the twentieth anniversary of the independence of Ukraine. The journalist coped with such difficult work together with TV presenter Pavel Kuzheev. The program lasted 52 hours. This, one might say, journalistic “feat” did not go unnoticed: after the marathon, Tatyana Danilenko falls into the Guinness Book of Records and Ukraine Records as the host of the longest show in the history of television.
Now she can be seen on the Ukrainian TV channel ZIK, where she hosts the FACE 2 FACE talk show. In this program, Tatyana speaks on topical issues, as a rule with one interlocutor, deputy or a famous politician of Ukraine. According to some reports, Danilenko paused in her career and now spends all her efforts on the development of ZIK, where she was promised complete freedom of speech and the ability to ask awkward questions to her interlocutors. The face-to-face talk show is aired on Wednesdays and Fridays at 19:30 Kyiv time. Perhaps in the near future, viewers will more often see it on other television channels.
