Participant of the show “Ukraine’s Got Talent” began to cooperate with the occupiers in the Kherson region

Fedor Marchenko, a semi-finalist of the third season of the show “Ukraine’s Got Talent,” has shown his support for the Russian occupiers and is actively cooperating with them.

The musician from Sevastopol gained popularity in 2011 thanks to his participation in the famous talent show. Although he did not win, this allowed him to perform in various cities of Ukraine.

Marchenko later returned to Crimea. In 2014, he openly supported the peninsula’s annexation, calling others to follow his example. To demonstrate his loyalty to the aggressor country, he joined the song and dance ensemble of the Russian Black Sea Fleet as a soloist.

After the start of the full-scale war, Marchenko remained on the side of the occupiers. As it became known, since March 2025, he has been teaching vocals at the “Kherson State Pedagogical University,” located in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region, and has no connection with legitimate Ukrainian education.

Kherson State University was evacuated to Ivano-Frankivsk and continues its work in a safe place.
