Irina Bilyk

The family of the singer Irina Bilyk was far from the art world. However, a simple engineer Nikolai Semenovich, the father of a star, was not indifferent to music at heart. He mastered the button accordion on his own, and later led a whole ensemble. It was he who taught Irina notes and in every possible way supported her aspiration and love for music. At the festive family feasts, they joked: And now the people's artist is invited to the stage! And the girl sang songs just on the chair.

Unfortunately, two years ago, Bilyk's father died.

Katerina Osadchaya

TV presenter and former model Katya Osadchaya is a copy of her father Alexander, the director of Kievpribor.

Alas, the father did not really believe in his daughter's success. After school graduation, the girl approached him and shared her plans for a modeling career, to which her father reacted rather skeptically. Now he says that: "It turns out that I did not guess right."

Katya has a talent to charm with words since childhood, and she is really very purposeful. It was this trait that helped her daughter achieve success, Alexander notes.

Vitaly Kozlovsky

This heartthrob and handsome man was named in honor of his mother's great love for dad Vitaly. But, alas, the parents' marriage fell apart: my mother went abroad, and my father became the only support for her son. Often Vitaly traveled with his father on his business trips, so he traveled all over the country and got acquainted with many cities of Ukraine.

Recently, the singer moved his father from Lviv to the capital - here he bought him an apartment next to his. Kozlovsky calls dad his best and closest friend.

Father of the current President of the country, Alexander Semenovich - Doctor of Technical Sciences, Head of the Department of Informatics of the Krivoy Rog Economic Institute. For a long time he worked on the construction of mining and processing plants in Mongolia, and in general he often disappeared at work.

Alexander Semenovich was opposed to his son linking his fate with humor. He believed that a more serious profession was needed for life. Probably now, the President's father is more than satisfied.

Love and kindness - this is what the singer Nastya Kamenskikh taught her father, Alexei Iosifovich. The talented captain of the volleyball team, and then the concert director of the choir named after Ropes - this person had a huge impact on the singer. Enormous efforts and resources were invested in the development of Nastya. She studied in France, lived in Italy for seven years. Parents strongly supported her endeavors, dad was a cheerful and reliable friend of the singer. Unfortunately, he is no longer there.

Olga and Natalia Sumskiy 

The father of famous Ukrainian actresses, Vyacheslav Gnatovich, graduated from the theater institute and worked all his life in theaters. It is not surprising that his daughters continued their acting path.

Remembering her father, Olga Sumskaya says that he had one drawback - an absolute lack of career ambitions. He easily gave the best roles to his colleagues. He said that let them take it, but I'd rather go fishing one more time.

Alexander Ponomarev

The performer of the immortal hit "Zironka", Alexander Ponomarev, talks little about his father. It is known that the family lived in poverty, but father Valery Alexandrovich, despite financial difficulties, was able to buy a synthesizer for the child. This was the starting point in the singer's life. Ponomarev recalls that dad always supported him, gave advice and parting words that helped him in life.
