Childhood
Alena was born on May 30, 1985 in Moscow. Her maiden name is Kruglikova. She grew up in a large family - with her parents, grandmother and sister. My father was a military man, and my mother taught at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
The girl spent her childhood in the Chistye Prudy area, and the actress is still very fond of these places. Before school, she was a shy child; she was shy about public speaking at matinees in kindergarten.
But during her school years everything changed, Alena actively took part in all events, and was often chosen to be the host of a concert or competition. The attention of the audience was so pleasant that she even began to think about a big stage in the future. The concept came that she was drawn to creativity, it inspired and inspired.
But most of all, Alena dreamed of becoming a model, despite the fact that she grew up as a correct and serious girl. The fashion world seemed cloudless and incredibly beautiful to her, promising all kinds of human benefits and a carefree life. Like many of her peers, Alena wanted to live, basking in everyone’s attention and changing beautiful outfits. Therefore, the older she became, the more she realized her dream. Moreover, she had all the data for this - at school Alena was considered the first beauty. Nature generously endowed the girl with a deep inner world, talent, ideal taste, intelligence, hard work and stunning appearance.
Twins – double happiness
Life went on as usual, Elena Kravets became an indispensable member of the Kvartal-95 team, working together with her husband was sometimes not easy, as in any normal, and especially creative, family there were quarrels, conflicts and reconciliations, but the family remained afloat. Mashenka grew and became surprisingly similar to her mother.

And again, fate gave Lena Kravets a surprise - in March 2016, Vladimir Zelensky announced that their only lady did not fly with the team on tour to Israel because she was expecting a baby. Soon Lena herself confirmed the news of her second pregnancy, and after some time she let slip that she would have twins. During her pregnancy, the restless Lena slightly retrained - she launched her own line of clothing for pregnant women, OneSize by Lena Kravets, and she herself demonstrated new models.

In August 2016, 39-year-old Elena Kravets gave birth to twins - a boy, Vanechka, and a girl, Katenka. Within two months, Lena returned to work and completely restored her figure. She admits - yes, it’s not easy, if her grandmothers helped raise Mashenka, then it’s difficult to manage with twins without nannies. Now with Vanyusha and Katenka, in addition to her mother and mother-in-law, she is supported by two nannies, but Lena is thinking about a third.
Education and career as a model
Her spectacular figure and external data did not go unnoticed. In her last school year, Alena became interested in scouts from modeling agencies, and the girl signed her first contracts. At first she appeared on the catwalks in Russia, but soon she conquered abroad - America, Italy, Germany; collaborated with leading glossy publications in Europe.
Mom and dad were very worried that constant travel would not allow their daughter to receive a full education. But Alena was able to successfully combine her modeling career with her studies at a law school. Later, she still studied at the university and received a diploma in child psychology.
She did not intend to work in any of the professions she received. As Kravets herself says: “I studied for the soul, just in case, and so that my parents would be calm, because they always dreamed of me becoming a lawyer.” Although her legal education came in handy several times when Alena needed to sign contracts. She herself was pleased that she turned out to be competent in these matters.
In addition to two higher educations, Alena also took courses at GITIS - she learned the basics of pop vocals from professor and Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Nikolai Vasiliev, and she studied acting from theater director, teacher and People's Artist of the RSFSR Alexei Borodin. Alena honed her dancing skills in Alla Dukhova's Todes studio.
With humor in life
She was able to meet the right person. Elena Kravets met her future husband while studying at the institute. Sergei was also a member of the KVN student team. For a long time, the young people were simply friends. They were connected by a common hobby - humor.
Wedding of Elena Kravets with her husband
But everything changed in one day. Once Sergei did not show up for team rehearsals for several days. Elena became worried where he could have gone. The most likely reason for the guy's absence was his illness. One evening the girl decided to visit her friend. For a long time she did not dare to go to him and no, but having gathered herself, she got on the trolleybus and went to Sergei’s home. There she was warmly greeted by the guy's mother and invited to drink tea. In Sergei’s apartment the girl felt at home.
This day marked the beginning of their long relationship. Soon the guy confessed his love to Elena, but they were in no hurry to formalize the relationship. They loved each other, but due to constant tours they could not find time to organize a wedding.
After several years of civil marriage, Elena found out that she was expecting a child. At first it was a shock for her. The Kvartal 95 team was just beginning to gain popularity among viewers. They were preparing a new program and pregnancy scared the girl. She didn’t want to be out of the work process for a long time. Almost before birth, Kravets was active in creative activities.
Sergei, when he learned about his beloved’s pregnancy, immediately proposed marriage to her. Elena agreed. They finally had a reason to put everything aside and focus on the celebration. The wedding was noisy and fun. Almost 100 people attended, mostly team members. Therefore, the entertainment program was provided by the guests themselves.
Music and cinema
Having built a fairly successful modeling career, Alena still did not take this profession seriously. She wanted to achieve more and realize herself as a singer. Once, while having fun at a party, Kravets sang several songs. Representatives of show business drew attention to the performance and assured Alena that she should take up music at a serious level.
Having a millionaire husband, there was no need to look for funds to record songs and shoot videos. The husband was only glad that Alena would start singing and say goodbye to her modeling career forever. Her debut song “Just a Movie” did not cause much delight among listeners. But gradually Kravets entered the ranks of Russian show business and even collaborated with the famous composer Kim Breitburg and video director Rezo Gigineshvili. Her most famous compositions:
- “I’ll survive”;
- "Bitch";
- "I'm waiting for you";
- "Where the World Ends";
- “Behind you (Eastern)”;
- "It hurts to be alone."
Alena has several film roles to her credit. She made her debut in 2007 with an episode in the sitcom “Daddy's Daughters.” Later she starred in the comedy series “Happy Together”, in the detective story “Fatal Inheritance” and in the melodrama “Zemsky Doctor. Love in spite of."
She is often invited to various television shows: “You Won’t Believe It!”, “Live”, “Man and the Law”, “Let Them Talk”, “Male/Female”, “Actually”, “Star Stories”.
Kim Kardashian
The “Queen of Instagram” has been called a style icon, but who exactly and why remains a great mystery. The textured brunette has 154 million subscribers and a countless army of haters. Kim, 39, regularly makes the list of the most hated stars, and for a number of reasons. She irritates everyone: by insisting on the complete naturalness of her appearance (yes, Kardashian denies rumors that she turned to plastic surgeons); by starting a family with Kanye West (another celebrity everyone hates); because she filled her blog with continuous advertising. And what infuriates the public most is her style.
Kardashian never tires of emphasizing her phenomenal curves with revealing outfits that everyone is already tired of looking at.
The last straw was the lady’s visit to the memorial complex in memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide in Tsitsernakaberd, Yerevan. Kim showed off in front of photographers as if she were on a catwalk. In order to lay flowers at the Eternal Fire in memory of one and a half million people, the socialite wore an ultra-tight leather skirt with a high slit and stiletto heeled boots. “Hey, we’re actually talking about dead people here, and not about the opportunity to once again advertise ourselves,” commentators were indignant under these photos.
Personal life
Alena met her future husband in 2001, when she was working under contract in America. Ruslan Kravets was her first and strongest love. Despite the twenty-year age difference, feelings flared up between them instantly, and the romance quickly gained momentum.
Alena and her husband Ruslan Kravets
Ruslan has a decent business in Moscow, which many years ago made him a millionaire and continues to generate considerable income to this day. His field of activity is foreign exchange investments. At the time of meeting Alena, the man was married, more than once, and had children from previous marriages.
A blonde beauty with model forms won the heart of a millionaire, he dissolved his previous marriage and proposed to Alena. In 2006 they got married. The following year, 2007, their daughter Danielle was born. Ruslan asked his wife to end her modeling career and focus entirely on raising the child.
The family lived in a luxurious mansion on Rublyovka. Alena took care of not only the baby, but also her pets; a chinchilla, a dachshund dog named Tessie and a cat Lavrik lived with them. The mansion also had a huge winter garden, which required special care. The couple also had a huge apartment in the center of Moscow, but they preferred to live in a house so that their daughter could spend as much time as possible in the fresh air.
However, this marriage did not turn out to be long and happy; nine years later the couple divorced. The divorce process was difficult, with loud scandals. But, since a contract was drawn up when registering the marriage, no special litigation ensued. Alena and her daughter were left with a house on Rublyovka, the cost of which was estimated at 750 million rubles. In addition, already living separately from his wife and daughter, Ruslan paid all their utility bills and expenses for Danielle.
Alena with her daughter Daniella
One of the conditions stipulated in the marriage contract is that there should be no strangers on the territory of the mansion, which goes to the wife after the divorce. But when Ruslan stopped by to see his daughter in 2016, he found a man visiting his ex-wife. An enraged Kravets beat Alena and took away Daniella; for six months he did not allow the girl to see her mother.
In 2022, Alena managed to acquire a rich admirer who gave her truly luxurious gifts - another mansion on Rublyovka, a luxurious expensive car and a house in Yalta. However, there was no talk of a new romance, much less marriage.
The kidnapping of his daughter and assault by Ruslan has repeatedly become the topic of many television talk shows. But while the public was discussing what they saw and heard on TV, unexpectedly for everyone, the former couple decided to get married again. In the summer of 2022, the second wedding of Alena and Ruslan Kravets took place. As the spouses said, they found the strength to forgive each other and tried to restore their former happiness.
Difficult decision
In March 2002, Sergei gave Lena a ring and made an offer, accepting which the girl replied that she would think about it.
But when in May she discovered 2 lines on a pregnancy test, there was no time to think anymore and the guys decided to get married while the belly was not yet noticeable. The wedding took place according to all the rules - the bride in white, about 120 guests, almost 2 thousand dollars were spent - an unthinkable amount at that time. Pregnancy was easy for 26-year-old Lena Kravets; she continued to perform, go to parties, and go on tour. My mother and mother-in-law were nearby, although my husband had already left to conquer Kyiv with Zelensky and his team, and came home to Krivoy Rog in between work. In February 2003, Lena gave birth to a daughter, who was named Mashenka, and this girl became the new center of the Lena Kravets Universe.

And again, a twist of fate forced the young mother to make a difficult decision - when Mashenka was only 10 months old, Volodya Zelensky called and invited Lena to Kyiv to become a full-fledged member of the newly formed and quickly gaining popularity of the Kvarta 95 team. Mom came to the rescue again - it was she who persuaded her daughter to leave Mashenka in Krivoy Rog and go after her dream and self-realization. Despite the fact that Lena visited her daughter regularly, these 8 months were very difficult for her and she still doubts whether she did the right thing by choosing a job rather than a child. Masha is already 14 years old, she has been living in Kyiv for a long time with her mother and father, but the feeling of guilt towards her visits Lena from time to time, perhaps someday this will pass.

If you don't control the staff, they won't do anything.
