Many fans of the artist are interested in where Verka Serdyuchka (Andrey Danilko) is now and what he is doing. Not watching the already familiar performances, a lot of questions arose. Clarity was made by journalists who reported that the Ukrainian star had left Kyiv. Now the artist is in Germany. The period of residence has been determined, but Andrei has not yet officially announced his emigration. The generally accepted version of moving is health care. According to the artist, serious problems have recently appeared.
In Berlin, Danilko feels quite comfortable: he is not recognized on the streets, so you can relax. Events in the homeland caused a serious depression, which turned out to be protracted. As a result, it became known not only where Verka Serdyuchka (Andrey Danilko) is now, but also information appeared about the state of the famous actor.
Andrei believes that now is not the time for fun in the Motherland, so a time-out has been taken. The break is used to rest and improve health. The artist also wants to overcome moral fatigue. Therefore, New Year's corporate parties, most likely, will be held without Verka Serduchka. Television channels on which the artist is not going to appear are also refused, regardless of whether invitations are received from Russia or Ukraine.
However, the star is not going to completely say goodbye to creativity. Tours are planned in Germany, where many Russian-speaking citizens live. For example, a Ukrainian star is warmly welcomed not only in Berlin, but also in Hamburg. Looking after the repertoire taking into account local conditions, Serdyuchka's songs are undergoing changes, that's what Verka Serdyuchka (Andrey Danilko) is doing now.
German-language inserts are professionally added, so the audience better understands the star from Ukraine.
Andrey Danilko (Verka Serduchka)
Andrei Mikhailovich Danilko, known as Verka Serduchka. Born on October 2, 1973 in Poltava. Ukrainian singer, composer, producer, director, screenwriter, TV presenter, actor. People's Artist of Ukraine (2008).
Andrey Danilko, who became known under the stage name Verka Serdyuchka, was born on October 2, 1973 in Poltava.
Father - Mikhail Semyonovich Danilko, a driver, died of lung cancer in 1980.
Mother - Svetlana Ivanovna Volkova, worked at the factory as a house painter.
The elder sister is Galina Grishko (born 1963).
Like Andrei, childhood was marred by his father's frequent drunken antics. Although the father himself was a good person, he changed beyond recognition when drunk: “I planted windows. I ran around with a stool, called the police. It was such a normal tradition. I saw the effect on a normal person of alcohol and the consequences."
The family lived in poverty, especially after the death of his father. According to Andrei, they lived in an annex, it happened that in winter he woke up covered in frost, and the wallpaper on the walls curled up from the cold. From an early age I got used to independence.
Since 1984, he studied at an art school, was a member of the KVN school team, where he received his first experience of performing with humorous and song numbers. Andrey also performed annually on the stages of summer pioneer camps.
In high school, he worked as a journalist - a freelance correspondent for a local newspaper, according to his stories, he interviewed such stars of that time as Natalya Gulkina, Andrey Razin, Sergey Chelobanov, Anzheliki Varum. “I can’t imagine how we crawled through the police cordons with some kind of passes for freelance correspondents of some provincial newspapers ... But we begged the guards so much that they let us through out of pity,” he recalled.
In 1991 he graduated from secondary school No. 27 of the city of Poltava. Then he entered vocational school No. 30.
In the same 1991, at a review of educational institutions, he presented two miniatures - "Dining Room" and "Conductor", with these numbers in 1993 he was sent on tour to the Stavropol Territory.
On April 1, 1993, at Humorin in Poltava, he first demonstrated the image of Verka Serduchka. In the same year, he received the first prize of the Kursk Anomaly competition for the best acting work and, with the performance "The Conductor", became the winner of the All-Smih competition in Kyiv.
According to Andrey, Verka Serduchka is based on the image of his aunt: "Roughly speaking, I just play my aunt. This is such a correct image, so it's easy for me to improvise." In this connection, he practically does not need to get used to this image - he dressed appropriately and went to perform.
At the same time, Serdyuchka and Danilko are two completely different people. The first one is cheerful, broken, self-confident, carrying from the stage such that the ears are folded into a tube. The second is a quiet, modest, restrained, non-witty and avoiding people loner. Verka Serduchka is his way to overcome complexes. Andrei admitted: “Yes, I am very frightened, twitchy by nature. I don’t like, for example, when there are a lot of people. Paradox, right? I even say at concerts:“ Guys, don’t be afraid, don’t be shy, clap, fool around, sing along. I’m 15 complexed for years, there is nothing to remember "".

On April 1, 1994, he won the Humorina Grand Prix in Kharkov, and soon made his debut on television (the Cheese program of the Kharkiv Privat TV studio).
In March 1995 he received the Grand Prix at the competition of young performers of the international festival Sea of Laughter.
On April 1, 1995, a miniature of Danilko was shown at the "Day of Laughter" in Kyiv. This year he entered the circus variety school at the department of colloquial genre. In the summer of 1995, he starred in an advertisement for Privatbank in the image of Verka Serduchka. At the end of the year, he took part in the Vybryki program.
Later, Danilko was often reproached for the fact that, having an undoubted talent for reincarnation, he never expanded the gallery of images, but got used to one and only. Although at the beginning of his artistic career, he freely reincarnated as a saleswoman, and a policeman, and a soldier, and even a ballerina. But since the people demanded Serduchka, he exploited this image.
In 1996, he began working with music producer Yuri Nikitin and the Ukrainian record company Mamamusic, in 1997 the first song, Just Vera, was released.
Since November 1997 - the host of the SV-show program on the Ukrainian TV channel 1 + 1 (in the image of Verka Serduchka), in the spring of 1998 the program switched to TV-6, later to STS. On December 13, 1997, the concert "Christmas Meetings of Verka Serdyuchka" took place in the National Palace "Ukraine".
In 1998 and 1999, two music videos by Verka Serduchka were released for the songs “A Little Bit” and “Controller”.
In May-June 1999, in the halls of Kiev theaters - at the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater and the Lesya Ukrainka National Academic Theater of Russian Drama - ten premiere show performances of "Titanic, or the Floating Country" were held. From this moment, Andrey Danilko's active tours in Russia and the CIS countries begin, his performances are accompanied by increased interest from the public and the media.
In the fall of 2000, he received the Name Cup at the Cup of Humor festival. In the same year, he became the host of the program “Come on, get up!” on Gala Radio.
He received two Golden Gramophones for the songs Chita Drita and Wanted a Groom. Album "HA-RA-SHO!" received Muz-TV awards as the best album of 2004.

In 2007, he performed at the Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki with the song "Dancing Lasha Tumbai", taking second place. Then he released the album "Doremi doredo", which included eleven tracks. In the same year he was awarded the title of People's Artist of Ukraine.
Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai (Eurovision 2007)
Verka Serduchka's song at Eurovision led to a scandal in Russia - allegedly the artist sang "Russia Goodbye".
Andrei himself said about this: “I came up with “Lashia Tumbay” immediately after Ruslana’s victory at Eurovision. If you play this song in a different style, then it turns out to be Chinese, then Japanese, then Jewish, then Ukrainian. There are the words “I want you see Lashia Tombay", which translates as "I want to see you Lashia Tombay". And in the first version I had "tonight". But this "tonight" that has set the teeth on edge is in every song in English. Therefore, I decided to replace it. Mine " Lashia Tumbai" people can interpret as they want - for example, "I want to see you rich, happy, loved", etc. But I can't send the libretto of the song to everyone. Some, for example, managed to hear "Masha to buy", that is, Masha for sale. I never thought in my life that this song would cause such a reaction. "
In 2009 he wrote the music for the tragicomedy The Merry Men.
In 2011, he received another Golden Gramophone award for the dance hit Dolce Gabbana. In 2012, in the image of Verka Serduchka, he hosted the Saturday Evening program on the Russia-1 TV channel.
He starred in several films - "Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka", "Cinderella", "Crazy Day, or the Marriage of Figaro", "The Snow Queen", "Chasing Two Hares", "Sorochinsky Fair", "Three Musketeers". Then came "The First Ambulance" and "The Adventures of Verka Serduchka."
In 2010, he starred as a stepmother in the film Frost.
In 2011, he starred in the fairy tale film The New Adventures of Aladdin, and in 2012 he played the lead role in the film Little Red Riding Hood. Later, tapes with his participation "Three Heroes" and "Spy" were released.

The artist has repeatedly admitted that he would like to try himself as a film director, but due to the peculiarities of his character, he could not be realized in this capacity.
"I have always been interested in cinema and music. I, for example, have my own vision of comedy. I like the humor of old films that simply diverged from quotes. But in order to create your own cinema, you need to know its technology. I would really like to learn from some some good director, for example, Nikita Mikhalkov. But because of the innate complex of the exam, I can’t cross my own “I”. In addition, this stupid recognition and biased assessment from others, "he said.
Socio-political position of Andrey Danilko
In 2007, he decided to try himself in politics, he was going to take part in early elections to the Verkhovna Rada.
He first announced that his electoral bloc would be called "Against All" - as he explained, because people in Ukraine "do not understand who to vote for, they are tired of elections, consolidation and confrontation, and politicians at this time are fighting near the stands." Andrei said that Serduchka also did not understand anything, "but she can fight just as well, and shout in the Verkhovna Rada that everything is bad." She is "very kind and able to influence people," and if they give her bribes, she will take them. “But she will spend this money on helping children,” the artist noted.
Then his bloc was renamed "For Our Own" and the Liberal Democratic Party of Ukraine, the "Women of Ukraine" party, the Workers' Party for Verka Serdyuchka, as well as the virtual party "For Verka" decided to join it. But just before the end of registration, it became known that Danilko decided not to participate in the elections with his bloc.
In those 2007 elections, he supported the Party of Regions.
At the end of 2014, he gave a concert at the Friedrichstadtpalast in Berlin as part of the World & Peace Tour, since then there have been constant rumors about living in Berlin due to the political situation in Ukraine. However, on the official pages of the artist in social networks, it was indicated that Danilko lives in Kyiv, leaving him only for the duration of the tour.
He sharply criticized the Maidan regime and the order that came in Ukraine after the Euromaidan: “Unfortunately, now in Ukraine, shame is becoming pride, debauchery and lies are the norm, crime is a triumph, and decline is an achievement. We are degrading and decaying already so much that everyone is gradually turning away from us. Propaganda of debauchery and perversions goes beyond common sense. Freedom of speech sounds like a mockery here. We are already a threat to Europe, a real threat, normal Europeans tell us directly that there is no place for us in Europe and tighten the screws on the border "Assimilation to Europe did not improve our life, but, on the contrary, created an atmosphere of lack of rights, arbitrariness and insecurity of citizens in the country. Jumpers on the Maidan and those whom they brought into the corridors of power created not Europe in Ukraine, but Somalia in the worst possible way," he said.

In May 2017, in an interview with one of the Ukrainian publications, he admitted to being completely alone, which, according to him, suits the artist: “The age has come when you don’t want a family at all. I wanted a family when I was 22. And then over the years, everything less and less, but now I don’t feel like it at all. I need to be alone and have my own closed territory. I think this is due to the glut of communication with people. I have, rather, social phobia, and it occurs in me from fatigue. "
Previously, the actor was credited with an affair with Inna Belokon. Inna is 6 years older than Andrei, they met at the very beginning of his career and together developed the image of Verka Serduchka.

Andrey Danilko has everything - popularity, success, money, favorite work. However, the artist failed to create a strong family. Now Andrei, whom everyone knows as Verka Serduchka, is 43 years old and in a new interview he frankly stated that he no longer dreams of a wife and children, and he is comfortable alone.
“The age has come when you don’t want a family at all. I wanted a family when I was 22 years old. And then over the years, less and less, and now I don’t want to at all. I need to be alone and have my own closed territory. I think this is due to the glut of communication with people, "
Danilko says.
Alone, Andrei does not get bored. In his free time, the artist listens to audio books, watches programs and does what he loves - cooking his favorite dishes.
The desire to retire and remain alone Danilko explains excessive communication with people at work. Now even a small company makes him uncomfortable.
“This is already a disease. They may not recognize me, but as soon as I see people, it turns on in my head that now they can recognize me. But I earned this in those years when there were a lot of performances. For example, there was a case in Lviv when the whole circus ran at me and I ran up some stairs. I was then closed in the first-aid post, and I sat in horror. Then they took me out through the back door, put me in a car, and I lay down on the floor so that they wouldn’t see me, ”
The artist admitted in an interview with Vesti.
Andrey Danilko is everyone's favorite popular artist, singer, actor, better known to us by the stage image of Verka Serduchka. Diligence, determination, and most importantly, desire and faith in himself gave him the opportunity to escape from a provincial town and become famous not only outside his country.
The comic image that Andrey created turned out to be just a mask of the artist's true soul. What Andrei Danilko really is, what he hides behind his emotional experiences and how the artist's life developed, read below.
Height, weight, age. How old is Andrei Danilko and all the details of his life are dreamed of by the fans of the actor. After all, Danilko is forty-four years old, and he looks quite younger than his years. With a height of 175 cm, he weighs 69 kg, and although Andrei is not very fond of sports, the figure remains normal. Maybe because he is careful about the choice of products, trusting no one and personally preparing food for himself.
The gray-eyed brown-haired woman really likes the female half, and many fans, discussing the next photo, write quite eloquent comments about the artist's data. Maybe he attracts with his mysteriousness of the soul and girls like men like Andrey Danilko? Photos in his youth and now the artist certainly differ, from a young thin guy he turned into a courageous man with wrinkles around his eyes. Only the eyes remained the same - the same sad and bleak.
Biography of Andrei Danilko
The biography of Andrei Danilko began on October 2, 1973 in a small village near Poltava. The boy grew up in a poor family, where his father, Mikhail Danilko Semenovich, worked as a driver and liked to drink, like most men in the countryside. Mother - Danilko Svetlana Ivanovna worked as a painter in three shifts in order to somehow make ends meet. And after the death of his father, it became even harder. Andrei had an older sister, Galina, who was ten years older than him, but they didn’t get along with her especially. Danilko did not study well at school, but from childhood he participated in amateur performances, then he was the captain of the KVN team, and each time his love for the stage woke up more and more. After graduating from school, Andrey submits documents to a music school, but without enrolling, a disappointed guy goes to study as a salesman. But the craving for creativity does not leave him, and he shows his numbers - SV-show in school institutions, where success and first fans await him.
On April 1, 1990, Verka Serduchka was born - the stage image of the artist, who brought him fame and popularity. In his city, he performed at one festival and did not expect it to be a sensation. Further, the artist already tours the cities of Ukraine, where he is gaining momentum more and more. Danilko enters the circus school, but after studying for a year and a half he was expelled for poor progress, despite the fact that Andrei had already performed in television projects and they began to recognize him.
Later, Andrey Danilko performs in the New Year's lights with his comic and funny songs and releases albums, songs that are broadcast continuously on music channels. “I was born for love”, “Pie”, “I wanted a groom” became popular hits. Concerts are held not only in many cities of Russia and Ukraine, but also in the USA, where he was met with a bang. Also, the artist tries himself in the cinema. Such films as “Evenings on a farm near Dikanka”, “Cinderella” were all awaited and watched with pleasure as Verka Serduchka laughed.
In 2007, Eurovision was held in Helsinki, where Verka Serdyuchka went from Ukraine to win. They just didn’t say anything for this choice - the melody is so primitive that you can knock with a spoon and reproduce that this is a serious competition, and not a festival of humor and satire. And although many did not believe in success, Verka Serduchka took second place, after which foreign journalists came to interview. And Danilko himself says that he just wanted to show in this way what a fun country they have and how they can have fun.
Andrey Danilko's personal life
The personal life of Andrei Danilko has always remained in the shadows. The artist never found his chosen one at forty-four and now there is no desire to start a family. “It was necessary to marry young,” Andrey shares, “And today I can’t imagine someone next to me who will violate my personal space.” This is similar to the statements of an inveterate bachelor, who is already very difficult to accept a person and is next to him. Apparently it is difficult for him to let a person into his soul. After all, Danilko has a chauffeur and a housekeeper at home, but Andrey is so principled that only he takes on cooking.
The artist admits that he does not like a large crowd of people, and in a company of more than three people he already feels discomfort, despite the long years of performing on stage. Therefore, he avoids society, rarely gives interviews and is unlikely to be seen at any party. By nature, Danilko is a very reserved person and somewhere notorious. But in order to find your half, you need to strive for this, try, love, but the artist himself, apparently, does not know how.
Andrey Danilko's family
Mother and sister - that's the whole family of Andrei Danilko. They do not have a very warm relationship, Andrei often breaks down over trifles, his mother says. Perhaps Danilko still holds a grudge against the family, because his relatives did not initially believe in him, and they were even ashamed that he was a man, but dressed up as a woman. They did not accept until the actor became famous and managed to earn good money. Although relatives do not see each other so often, the actor provides for his relatives.
Not so long ago, Galina, her sister, bought a three-room apartment and made European-quality repairs there, the family goes to the sea every year, of course, not without the help of her brother. The actor toured in different cities, but not in Poltava. He has a feeling of guilt that he got out of this village, and people continue to live in poverty. But is anyone to blame for this? Everyone has their own path and choice.
Children of Andrei Danilko
Everyone is so interested in the fate of Danilko that the editors even turned to psychic Natalya Vorotnikova for help. And of course, the main issue that interests the public is the family and children of Andrei Danilko.
The magician saw a purposeful person who is married to his work. “If Andrei is deprived of the stage, he will lose the meaning of life and fall into a severe depression. The artist has a very changeable mood, which depends on even the smallest things. But Danilko will have a son, ”says Natalia,“ From a fan. There will be no marriage, but Andrey will take care of his child.” Well, to believe or not to believe the predictions is everyone's business, and only time will tell the truth.
Andrey Danilko's wife
Andrei Danilko's wife is his work, stage and career. The artist is so passionate about his work that he has no time for his personal life. Or wishes? More than once he was credited with an affair with his colleague - Inna Belokon, who, according to the stage image, is a mother.
The artist recalls meeting a girl: “I didn’t like her right away, she was fat, terribly painted, in a long skirt,” but in the future the couple was seen more and more often outside of work. And recently, on his birthday, where Andrei went to celebrate in England, the paparazzi took a picture of the artist in the arms of a girl kissing him. Immediately, the news “Andrey Danilko and his wife” appeared in the press. The photo was taken when Inna Belokon herself congratulated Andrei on the holiday. The artist claims that the kiss is friendly and the artist is nothing more than a friend to him. They can even move into the same room, but that doesn't mean anything at all. Whether this is so or not, one can only guess.
Andrey Danilko latest news
A few years ago, all sources trumpeted that an assassination attempt was being prepared on the artist, and information was recently leaked that Andrei Danilko was allegedly killed in a Kiev cafe. It is not always pleasant to read such sensations, but fortunately the information was not confirmed. The actor is in perfect health, and the situation was clarified by his producer. Danilko had a friend who lost a large sum of money in a casino, and in order to repay the debt, he had to kill Andrei himself on the orders of high-ranking personalities. But after learning about the upcoming murder, the actor strengthened the security and everything worked out. At that time, Danilko decided to go into politics and ran for deputies, but after this story he withdrew his candidacy, fearing for his life.
To date, due to the unfavorable situation in the country, Andrei Danilko has curtailed his creative activity. The latest news in the work of the actor does not go unnoticed. After all, Danilko really said goodbye to the stage image of Verka Serduchka and gave her, so to speak, a funeral. The farewell finale was concerts at reduced prices, where many could come and see a concert of memories.
Instagram and Wikipedia Andrey Danilko
Andrei admits that against the backdrop of popularity, he developed a fear of a large crowd of people. He avoids the press, and especially annoys him when they climb into the soul with questions of a personal nature. The actor tries to limit the circle of the public he does not know, and therefore does not maintain a page on Instagram. And Andrey Danilko's Wikipedia is rich only in his work, achievements and awards.
Danilko himself is a very vulnerable and deeply unhappy person. Indeed, in the life of every person, the main thing is to have a second half and be loved. Know that you will be supported in difficult times and understood.
The city of Poltava, the eighties - it was there and then that young Andrei Danilko suffered from unrequited love. His initial data (a poor single-parent family, poor academic success and an ordinary appearance) did not allow him to hope for reciprocity from his classmate, an excellent student Anya Serdyuk.
He did not hope. But one day he promised her and himself that he would make her name famous.
Conductor
It was his vocation to amuse and entertain people, but Andrei did not immediately understand this. Therefore, after school there was a vocational school, where he not only studied, but participated in KVN and Yumorin. Then a miniature was painted, which became the first step towards the image that glorified him - “The Conductor”.
With this number, Danilko went on tour and collected awards. Two years later, it became clear that the work of life had been found - and Andrei entered the circus variety school in the department of the colloquial genre. He did not plan to sing then.
His heroine - eccentric, loud, not very well-mannered, but very sincere Verka Serduchka (hello classmate) fell in love with the audience immediately. Everyone was sure that she was played by a woman! Danilko himself hid the truth for the time being. And only when Serduchka became truly famous, he decided to expose himself in one of the TV shows.
“When I entered the studio, there was deathly silence. No one understood, looking at me, what kind of teenager it was. I was very thin and so shy of it that I specially put on a sweater under a denim shirt. The people who found out that I was Verka Serduchka had a shock "
Soon, Verka already had its own show on Ukrainian television, which, after a year of existence, moved to Russia. Under the guise of the conductor of the sleeping car Serduchka, he talked with the legendary artists - Lyudmila Gurchenko, Semyon Farada, Alexander Demyanenko ... And gradually formulated his own unpretentious mission: to entertain people, to give them the opportunity to relax.
“I know that many artists hate corporate events as a format and even consider it humiliating. But it seems to me the opposite: if you know how to work at a corporate party, you can focus on yourself, organize these millionaires so that they forget that they are millionaires, and remember that they also once ate potatoes with eggs, and they start dancing and turn into children - this is the most important task, ”says Danilko.
Hits from Serduchka
At some point, it became clear to Andrey: for Verka's popularity to continue to grow, one colloquial genre is not enough. And he (or rather, she) began to sing.
Serduchka's concerts were sold out, not a single "Song of the Year" or "Blue Light" was complete without her participation. Danilko had doubles: with his own eyes he saw posters of impostors inviting people to a concert allegedly by Verka Serduchka. By that time, the real one had partners on the stage: the actress Inna Belokon played Verka's mother, Olga Litskevich and Radmila Shchegoleva played the silent Gelya.
The personality of Andrei Danilko himself began to acquire myths in the 2000s.
He was credited in turn with novels with all his colleagues on the stage, illegitimate sons and, at the same time, non-traditional sexual orientation. There was little truth in this - so the artist refused to comment on the rumors.
After the triumph at Eurovision in 2007 (Verka Serduchka took 2nd place with the song "Dancing Lasha Tumbai") Andrey felt tired. Entering the stage no longer pleased him as before, he wanted to stop and change his role. The attempt was not very successful: the lyrical album “After You”, released in 2015, was coolly received by fans.
Verka did not let go - and Andrei had to put up with it. He did it with difficulty.
“Before the concerts, I started to shake right away - I didn’t want to go on stage so much, I began to sleep badly, gain weight ... At such a moment, it is advisable to take a break. But there is a responsibility to the people who work with you. After all, this is their main income.
In 2017, Danilko nevertheless made up his mind: the artist announced to his fans that he was starting preparations for a farewell tour, which would begin in 2019 and last for two years. What will happen after, Andrey himself does not fully understand.
He only admits that he really wants to just relax: travel around the world like an ordinary tourist, and not a visiting star, walk the streets, be alone. Danilko got used to his loneliness - and is no longer going to fight it.
“I never dreamed of becoming Verka Serduchka,” he admitted in an interview. However, it was this odious woman who helped him achieve what Andrei Danilko, a schoolboy from Poltava, could not even dream of.
