Former contestant on "Top Model Ukrainian Style," Mykhailo Kukharchuk, has opened a business in Moscow
Mykhailo Kukharchuk, a former contestant on the reality show “Top Model Ukrainian Style” who is originally from Rivne, remained in Russia after the outbreak of full-scale war and is now running his own business in Moscow.
This was reported by another former contestant on the show, Revan Paliukh, on his social media accounts. According to Paliukh, they stayed in touch for a long time and ran into each other on set and at events. Eventually, he claims, Kukharchuk began speaking Russian in everyday life, moved to Moscow, and after February 2022 decided to stay in Russia.
Palyukh noted that he ceased all communication with Kukharchuk after the latter, in his words, adopted a “what’s the difference” attitude and did not leave Russia after the start of the full-scale invasion.
As noted, Kukharchuk has not publicly condemned Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. At the same time, according to information posted on his Instagram, he has opened his own flower delivery service in Moscow and is working to expand the business.
Mykhailo Kukharchuk was born in Rivne and rose to fame through his participation in the show “Top Model Ukrainian Style.” During the show, he made a lasting impression on viewers as a florist who created floral wreaths for the contestants, and he also stood out for speaking Ukrainian. Despite his successful performance on the show, he voluntarily left the project in the fifth episode due to family circumstances.
Palyukh announced this on Threads.
As a reminder, Russian actress Maria Mashkova, known for her roles in the series “Don’t Be Born Beautiful,” renounced her Russian citizenship and is continuing her career in the U.S. After Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she publicly condemned the war and severed ties with her father—Russian actor Vladimir Mashkov, who supports the Kremlin’s policies.
On the anniversary of their wedding, Yuriy Felipenko’s widow called on people to honor his memory with a donation.
