As Boris Korchevnikov said: “People come to Spas for sincerity, simplicity and truth. And also for something more important in life...” For example, working on the channel completely changed the life of TV presenter Veronica Ivashchenko.

Here's what Veronica said about her journey to faith:

— My path is difficult, I can tell a lot, but I think that God has always been there. The realization of everything happened only thanks to my work. I just reconsidered my whole life and decided on a lot.

My coming to the canal was providential. Everything changed for the better with him. It's like you're sleeping and suddenly you wake up. This is wonderful. First, God sent me one girl - an actress (I was also an actress then), and she began to tell me fascinatingly how she goes to services, what happens there. Then she took me to the temple several times, but I still didn’t understand what was happening. Unfortunately, as a child I very rarely went to church with my mother. Somehow it wasn’t customary for us, no one went - we didn’t go. Everything just came with age. But Seryozha (husband) has a different situation. He comes from a very religious family.

I always wanted my husband to be tall. This was important to me, because for me a tall, broad-shouldered man is a kind of visual protection. I once asked him: “What did you imagine your future wife to be like? How did you imagine me?” And he answered: “I only dreamed that my wife would be a believer.” I really liked it.

Thank God, I somehow deserved it - I have the most beloved, happy job, where I don’t even work, but just enjoy what I do. It's amazing - every day I usually communicate with priests and constantly learn something new, every day I become better. Sometimes I sit, look into the eyes of a priest and fly away somewhere up into space...

The Lord brought me to the temple, then gave me the opportunity to communicate with many amazing, smart, wise and kind clergy, among whom I found a confessor. Three times in a year I had the opportunity to personally communicate with His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus', who blessed me and thanked me for my work on the Spas TV channel. This job is happiness. I am glad to be part of a team of professionals led by Boris Korchevnikov! Without Orthodoxy, without faith in God, life has no meaning, and we are trying to convey this to our viewers.

Student years

Having successfully graduated from school, Veronica becomes a student at the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University. However, the dream of giving creativity to millions of viewers does not leave the girl. Veronica continued her studies at VGIK, where she learned the basics of acting.

Interested in the filmmaking process, the aspiring actress applies for admission to GITIS. There, under the guidance of Honored Artist of Russia Leonid Kheifets, Ivashchenko mastered the profession of director.

The trip to Japan remained a vivid memory in the girl’s memory. Therefore, having received her diploma, the talented and purposeful artist goes there to live and work for several years. In one of the works, her co-star was the famous Japanese actor Jun Matsumoto.

Early years, education

Veronica Ivashchenko is a sought-after Russian actress and TV presenter. She managed to star in several popular television series and feature films, and gained extensive experience in leading television projects. The role of the actress is a gentle, pleasant, noble girl. However, in real life, Ivashchenko is a strong, strong-willed person, accustomed to achieving everything through his own labor.

Veronica was born in the fall of 1990. Small homeland - Rostov-on-Don. Veronica has a friendly family; her parents tried to give their daughter a good upbringing. The girl grew up nimble, stubborn and strong-willed. The father was a wonderful cook, he taught his daughter to cook delicious and healthy dishes.

The girl’s career began with participation in modeling shoots. The slender, blond beauty with big eyes was photographed for popular glossy publications.

In 2007, Ivashchenko entered Moscow State University and became a student at the Faculty of Journalism. During the same period, she began studying at GITIS, in the prestigious director's studio of Leonid Kheifetz. The studies were excellent; in 2010, Veronica Ivashchenko moved to VGIK, to the acting workshop of Alexander Mikhailov, from which she graduated with honors. In 2012 she became a certified theater and film actress.

Cinema

Even during her student years, Veronica received many offers to appear on television. She received her first small role in 2007, playing Polina in Andrei Konchalovsky’s film “Gloss”.

And next year Ivashchenko agrees to the role of Dina in the popular TV series “Ranetki”. This project about school life brought all the country's teenagers to watch television, but it did not bring fame to Veronica herself.

Her subsequent roles in the films “S.S.D.” were not noted for great success either. (2008), “My Autumn Blues” (2008), “Take Me with You” (2008), “People of Shpak” (2009). In search of her role, Veronica actively takes part in all castings and screen tests.

Filmography and social networks

During training, the girl had to not only run to photo shoots, but also to full-fledged filming. At that time, Veronica starred in such works as “Gloss” and “S.S.D.” It would not be amiss to mention her participation in the TV series “Take Me with You” and “Ranetki”. Then she was able to get to more serious works. One of them was “The True Story of Scarlet Sails.” Her contribution to the development of the character was appreciated by many critics, which is why she is still compared to Vertinskaya. Veronica denies such a resemblance, saying that she is not at all like her.

Veronica takes religion very seriously

This is interesting! Before casting for the role of Assol, the young actress had never read the corresponding work, but only watched an old Soviet film based on it. According to her, she was constantly freezing during the filming, as very often she had to stand in a thin blue dress.

Ivashchenko reached the peak of her career thanks to her role in the film “Dostoevsky”. It was there that she met big cinema stars - Mironov and Khamatov. Afterwards, the actress received only minor roles in low-budget short films, which can be considered “no-name”. For this reason, the girl changed her occupation from actress to TV presenter. Veronica still works on the Spas channel and, apparently, is very happy about it. It seems that the presenter is ready to return to the acting stage at any moment.

Lucky case

In 2010, the film “The True Story of Scarlet Sails” with Ivashchenko in the role of Assol was released on television. As conceived by director Alexander Stekolenko, the events of the famous story by Alexander Green are supplemented with unexpected storylines and transferred to our time.

The role of a dreamy young girl waiting for her prince was not easy for Veronica. Despite the fact that the filming took place in the warm Crimea, there was a strong wind, and the actress, dressed only in a light dress, was constantly freezing.

Veronica as Assol

After the premiere, critics and ordinary viewers compared the acting abilities of Ivashchenko and the famous Soviet actress Anastasia Vertinskaya, who starred in the same role back in 1961. Veronica herself is not happy with this association and assures that she did not adopt anything from the image of the Soviet Assol, but showed new facets of the heroine’s personality.

Filmography

Other jobs

In 2011, the mini-series “Dostoevsky” was released on the Russia 1 TV channel. This is a dramatic biographical film about the life and work of the great Russian writer. In the film, the actress, who shows great promise, perfectly embodied the image of Sonechka Marmeladova.

Despite the fact that the role was very small, it allowed Ivashchenko to learn from the experience of recognized masters of Russian cinema. The partners on the set were Evgeny Mironov, Valentina Talyzina, Alexander Domogarov, Chulpan Khamatova.

In 2013, Ivashchenko starred in another supporting role. She plays the granddaughter of the main character in the melodramatic mini-series “Late Repentance” by the famous Ukrainian director Oksana Bayrak.

Developing in many ways, the young actress tries herself in different genres. So, in 2021 she is starring in the fantasy film “Belovodye. The Secret of a Lost Country,” and in 2021 she plays the role of a journalist in the crime thriller co-produced by Russia, France and Armenia, “The Factory.”

His acting career includes several roles in short films: “Kinoman” (2013), “Along the Night Roads” (2014). And the short film “Sin” (2016) with Ivashchenko in the title role was shown at the Cannes International Film Festival.

On TV

Having practically abandoned her career as an actress, Veronica Ivashchenko becomes a TV presenter. She works on several Russian TV channels at once. The audience's acquaintance with the new position of the already popular actress began with the broadcast of the Tsargrad TV channel, where Ivashchenko became the host of the Image program.

Veronica Ivashchenko - host of the Orthodox program

The project covered current problems of modern politics, economics and culture from the point of view of the Orthodox worldview. The guests of the studio were clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church. Communication with them helped Veronica get answers to her burning questions. Thus began her journey of following God.

On the Orthodox channel

At the same time, Veronica hosts a news program and participates in various projects of the Moscow 24 TV channel. And in 2021, he gladly accepts an invitation to cooperate from the general director and producer of the Orthodox TV channel “Spas” Boris Korchevnikov.

The friendly and open presenter quickly won the love of TV viewers, who now consider Ivashchenko the face of the channel. Her program “The Priest’s Answer” is one of the highest rated on the channel.

The project provides an opportunity to hear answers to pressing questions from priests without leaving home. Viewers can ask questions in any convenient way: by phone, on the website, on social networks. The channel’s presenter also appeared as a guest in one of the episodes of the “Monastery Kitchen” program.

In this culinary program, Oleg Olkhov, chef of the Danilov Monastery, talks about the traditions of Russian food. Veronica and her husband Sergei Vasin prepared Lenten seafood dishes, and in the process shared funny stories from their lives.

Working on television

In the second half of the 2010s, Ivashchenko came to work on television. On the Tsargrad channel she hosted the program “Image”, during which she talked with priests. By her own admission, initially she was “terribly shy” to talk to them. Over time, she got used to it. The project lasted about seven months.

In 2021, Veronica came to work for Spas, the first public Orthodox channel, currently headed by Boris Korchevnikov. The girl hosts the program “Priest’s Answer. Straight line". This program is one of the most popular on Spas; it allows you to communicate with a priest without leaving your home. Every day, viewers ask questions on a variety of topics by phone, through a mobile application, using a form on the website, through social networks. A special episode of the program is broadcast on weekends.

Among the clergy with whom Ivashchenko was lucky enough to talk were Bishop Seraphim (Amelchenkov) of Istra, Archpriest Artemy Vladimirov, Hieromonk Andronik (Patak).

Viewers of the Spas channel have mixed opinions about Veronica’s work. Some people like it. Others view her more negatively. For example, there is an opinion that she is false and hypocritical, flirts with the priests who come to the program, that she lacks professionalism. She is also accused of taunting viewers who call into the show.

Veronica herself is incredibly happy that she ended up on the Spas channel. According to her, communication with priests makes her better. She had the opportunity to talk with Patriarch Kirill several times. He not only blessed her, but also thanked her for her work on Spas. According to the presenter, without Orthodoxy and faith in God, life has no meaning. This is exactly what the channel workers are trying to convey to viewers.

In addition to Spas, Ivashchenko manages to work on the Moscow 24 channel. There he and she host news broadcasts. It’s interesting that Moscow 24 viewers also have complaints about Veronica. In particular, some criticize her for errors in speech.

Personal life

Some time ago, information about Veronica Ivashchenko’s affair with her colleague Artyom Krylov was circulating on the Internet. The actress has never commented on such rumors. And the personal life of Veronica Ivashchenko is not put on public display.

If Krylov had an affair with Ivashchenko, now it does not matter. After all, at the moment Veronica is absolutely happy in her marriage to Sergei Vasin. The young people met in February 2021. The young man was then serving in the first company of the Special Guard of the Presidential Regiment.

Veronica always wanted her future husband to be tall and broad-shouldered. Sergei had no special requirements for his future chosen one; the only condition was that she must be a believer. Three weeks after they met, Ivashchenko received a marriage proposal, and already in June they became legal husband and wife.

Two years later, while on vacation, the couple got married in the Vladimir Temple of Tauride Chersonesus in Sevastopol. During their married life, the young people have already managed to visit Crimea, the Caucasus, Spain, and even Cuba.

Veronica spends her free time reading Orthodox literature or walking with her four-legged friends – Yorkshire terrier Tamerlan and mongrel puppy Dar.

Many fans are interested in when a new addition to the celebrity family is expected. But so far Veronica has tried on the image of a future mother only on the set. And he gives his unrealized maternal love to his godson Nikita and niece Nastya. There are no children of their own.

Personal life of Veronica Ivashchenko

For a long time, there was no specific information about the personal life of the blond TV personality. The girl devoted all her time and energy to her favorite profession. Perhaps that is why those around them began to invent things out of thin air that did not actually exist. Namely, the beautiful TV presenter was accused of having affairs with her colleagues on television. But none of the episodes were confirmed. Journalist Artem Krylov, Nika’s colleague, fell under this comb.

Artem Krylov

Despite the fact that Veronica Ivashchenko does not publicly display her private life, she is still open to dialogue and sincerely communicates with fans on her Instagram page. The journalist is sure that it was her coming to faith that played a fateful role in her finding personal happiness. From a young age, Veronica dreamed of a wonderful husband, next to whom she would not have to experience resentment, bitterness, disappointment, pain and fear.

Veronica Ivashchenko

In her dreams, she painted the image of a strong, stately, broad-shouldered knight. This is exactly the man God sent her. When an important acquaintance happened, Ivashchenko, of course, shared her joy with her subscribers and introduced them to her lover. But Veronica’s chosen one, Sergei Vasin, made the only requirement for the girls: his beloved must be a believer. This is how Veronica and Sergei found each other.

Veronica and Sergey

Sergey Vasin became the husband of Veronica Ivashchenko a couple of months after they met, on an ordinary Thursday in June 2021. The romantic couple of lovers simply charmed the registry office workers. The fact is that right before going there, Sergei wove a wreath of dandelions for his beloved and “crowned” Veronica to the position of empress of his heart. A man and a woman are even similar in appearance, which has long been considered a good omen.

Unexpected wedding photo

It is quite obvious that the newlyweds strengthened their union with God’s blessing by getting married in the Vladimir Temple of Tauride Chersonese in Crimea. The ritual, so important for both, was performed by their spiritual mentor. And now young people are absolutely sure that everything in their lives will work out perfectly.

Before God

The young TV star still never tires of repeating that she was lucky with her husband. He is interested not only and not so much in her appearance, fame and income level. Sergey is interested in the inner world, state of mind, experiences, harmony of his soulmate. In addition to everyday routine, the young family finds time to spend time together and pursue interests that both spouses enjoy: fencing and horse riding.
