Once, Vlada Lytovchenko earned the title of the most beautiful woman in Ukraine, conquered runways, and posed for glossy magazine covers. Today, she is 55 years old, heads a historical and cultural reserve, and is actively engaged in public activities. Here is how Vlada Lytovchenko has changed since her modeling career.
Who is Vlada Lytovchenko, and what she looks like now
Her full name is Vladlena Volodymyrivna Lytovchenko. She was born on August 7, 1970, in Brovary, Kyiv region.
She graduated from the Gliere Music College as a pianist and later from the Odesa Conservatory.
In 2009, she received a diploma from the Diplomatic Academy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and in 2013, she completed postgraduate studies. She holds the title of Candidate of Historical Sciences.
Lytovchenko worked as a TV host, taught in a music school, and actively engaged in public activities.
There was also a scandal in the ex-model's biography. In July 2012, she was appointed to a high position at the National Kyiv Pechersk Historical and Cultural Reserve, but just a month later, she was dismissed. At that time, Vlada accused general director Viktoriia Lisnycha of demanding a $50,000 bribe for the appointment, which led to public disputes.
Since 2016, she has headed the Vyshhorod Historical and Cultural Reserve, is a member of the expert council of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, and chairs the Committee for awarding the intangible cultural heritage prize at the Ministry of Culture.
Modeling career of Lytovchenko
Vlada began her modeling career in 1994. She was about 22 years old at the time, teaching at a school and studying at the conservatory, while her husband and three-year-old daughter were waiting for her at home.
At that moment, her friend suggested joining a modeling agency together, as she did not want to go alone.
Soon after, Vlada won the Miss Kyiv 1994 contest, and just three months later, she became Miss Ukraine 1995.
She collaborated with many brands, appeared on more than 120 magazine covers, and took part in advertising campaigns and music videos. She even co-authored the first textbook on modeling business in Ukraine.
Last year, Lytovchenko impressed social media with archival photos from her modeling career.
Personal life and hobbies
Lytovchenko was married twice: to Ihor Lytovchenko, founder of Kyivstar, and businessman Serhii Prokaiev. She has two daughters, Marharyta and Khrystyna.
She enjoys extreme activities. She has made over 50 parachute jumps, can fly a helicopter, but does not drive a car due to poor eyesight.
She spends her free time alone, engaging in self-reflection and spiritual literature.
Today, Lytovchenko is a well-known cultural figure and an expert in the field of intangible heritage.
By the way, she also has family ties with Ukrainian actress Olha Sumska. Vlada became the godmother of her daughter Hanna.
