The love story of Vladimir Zelensky and his wife Helen
Vladimir Zelensky became famous back in those distant times, when he appeared on stage as part of the KVN team "Zaporozhye - Kryvyi Rih - Transit", and then in the team "95th quarter". Hardly anyone could then imagine that the future president of Ukraine is on the stage. Next to him was always a modest, completely non-public girl, who will now rightfully be called the first lady. Vladimir Zelensky had to conquer his Elena the Beautiful and even fight for her attention with a rival.
Non-random acquaintance
Vladimir Zelensky and Elena Kiyashko studied together in one of the best schools in the city of Krivoy Rog, writes Fresher. They could well sit at the same desk, but they fell into different classes of the same parallel. In his school years, Vladimir Zelensky showed outstanding artistic abilities and was one of the most active participants in amateur art activities as a guitarist of the school ensemble. In addition, he had many different hobbies: collecting, ballroom dancing, sports and music.
Naturally, the attention of classmates, he was not deprived and did not even remember the girl from the parallel class. He drew attention to Helen already in his student years.
In an interview for Today Elena said that she did not even remember the first meeting.
“To be honest, I do not remember the moment when Vladimir and I first crossed eyes. And all because everyone at Zelensky's school knew and saw. His company has always been bright. If it's loud somewhere, then Zelensky will definitely be there. I came to the gymnasium in the seventh grade, from that moment we studied in parallel classes. I knew that Zelensky was in class B, and that's all, ”says Elena.

After graduating, Vladimir entered the law department of the Krivoy Rog Economic Institute of Kiev University. Elena became a student of the building department of the Krivoy Rog University. One day they met. But it was only the very beginning of their long and happy history.
Moreover, when Vladimir began to take care, Elena did not want a relationship, since she met with another guy.
“At first, our relationship with Vova was not very good, because he immediately made attempts to look after me, and I didn't really want that at that moment. But our communication convinced me otherwise. We looked in one direction, we liked the same music, we were just interested in talking about anything. It seems to me that in any relationship it is very important, "- said Elena Zelenskaya in an interview with" Today ".
Love is not at first sight
At the time of their meeting, he did not dare to ask the new acquaintance with a phone number. Fortunately, the young man noticed a videotape with the film “Basic Instinct” in Elena’s hands, which became an occasion for closer acquaintance. Taking the cassette from the girl for viewing, he immediately wrote down Elena's phone in order to later return the property to the owner.
Later, the future president of Ukraine admitted that he could always find an approach to the girls, but with Elena everything was different: the girl did not let herself to her, and this only fueled Vladimir’s interest. At first it became a challenge for him, and then Zelensky realized that he had fallen in love.
But at that moment, Elena herself did not pay much attention to the young man. She already had a young man to whom she sympathized and was not going to change anything in her life.
Later, Vladimir Zelensky admitted: he had to make a truly titanic effort to win the girl. It was always easy for him to communicate with girls. A charming young man with a sparkling sense of humor could charm almost any age. But in the case of Elena, he had to use all his talents.

Vladimir was persistent, but unobtrusive, attentive, but not annoying, and gradually his patience and constancy bore fruit. The girl got used to the invisible presence of Vladimir in her life, and soon they became inseparable. Elena recalled: the young man conquered her with his decency and ability to solve almost any problems with ease. In this case, the intellect, wit and sense of humor of her husband, she also does not write off.
Together through life
However, young people did not immediately become husband and wife. They managed to live together 8 for years, eat a pound of salt for two, travel to different cities and understand that they are really comfortable and warm together.
Even in his student years, the passion for playing KVN became common for Vladimir and Elena. If the young man put numbers and spoke, then Elena wrote bright, full of humor scripts for performances of the favorite team, and then for the studio "Quarter-95". At the same time, neither he nor she worked in the main specialty.
Zelensky noted that his marriage was associated with the imminent birth of children, and he did not want to hurry with this.
Elena notes that she did not rush Vladimir with the wedding. The future first lady of Ukraine never considered the relationship without a stamp in the passport inadequate.
“We were young and were not going to get married quickly. I didn't have such thoughts: “My God, why doesn't he propose to me? Doesn't give a ring? There must be something wrong with me. " There were talks about the wedding, we knew that someday we would do it. But, to be honest, they didn't really plan anything. And the date was set only when they saw a free month in our tour schedule, ”Zelenskaya says.
Only when they stopped touring did they think about their own future. And again, an important role in the decision of Vladimir Zelensky, finally, to create a full-fledged family, has played a movie. After sharing a charming film about a big and friendly family, the showman suddenly realized that he was ready to become a father.
In 2003, Vladimir Zelensky and Elena Kiyashko became husband and wife. The wedding was noisy and fun. However, for the company in 120 people had to rent a bowling club, since all the cafes that can accommodate so many people were busy. The tracks were carpeted and danced directly between the balls.

A year later, Alexandra's daughter was born in the family, nine years later, the son Cyril. Their life together is one breath for two. They have a common business, common creativity, ideas, plans and political views. They are not only spouses, but also great friends.
From show business to politics
The only thing Elena did not agree with was the desire of her husband to go into big-time politics. She was initially scared of this project by too significant changes in the streamlined life to which she and the children had become accustomed.
Vladimir Zelensky, seeing the extremely negative attitude of his wife to political activities, tried to protect her from anxiety and unrest, so he gradually prepared his wife for change. Over time, Zelensky's wife understood: politics came into their lives seriously and for a long time. And, as a faithful friend, again began to help.
During the election campaign, Elena Zelenskaya supported and regularly accompanied Vladimir on important events. The couple publicly demonstrates their emotions, and their touching kisses have already captured the network.
The wife of the future president of Ukraine admits that there are established traditions in their family. For example, on travels, Vladimir and Elena always go with their children to spend more time together. Zelenskie also try to have dinner together, but because of tight schedules it does not always work.
“We try to adhere to the tradition of having dinner together, but due to difficult schedules, this is not always possible. This is the coolest time of the day when we can discuss something with the whole family, ”says Elena.
Even today, Elena is afraid of changes that the new position of her husband will surely bring to their family life, but she knows for sure: the family should remain the place where they always love, believe, wait and understand.
