One of the most famous representatives of Russian show business, Olga Buzova, leaves few people indifferent. Her blog on Instagram is one of the most popular in Russia, and only in September 2020, in terms of the number of subscribers, it gave way to the page of Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, among those who closely monitor the successes of the popular TV presenter, there are almost more ill-wishers than fans.
Ugly, stupid, rude, tactless, tasteless and mediocre - this is how people watching her career take off from the side characterize her. Stylish, smart, purposeful, hardworking, gifted - numerous admirers stand up for her. One way or another, her name is on the lips of many, and almost everyone understands that she paved the way to fame for herself, and the story of her success may be interesting and useful for readers of the online magazine “Career Girl” who also dream of making a dizzying career. Therefore, we decided to study publications about this successful woman posted in various online publications in order to find out what the secret of the success of the scandalous star is. The result was the biography we compiled of Olga Buzova, which we bring to your attention.
Olga Buzova's childhood, her education
Olga Igorevna Buzova was born on January 20, 1986 in Leningrad. Her father Igor Dmitrievich is a military man, her mother Irina Aleksandrovna is a dentist. There is also a younger sister, Anna, who later followed in her sister’s footsteps. Grandmother Alla Timofeevna, who lives in Klaipeda (Lithuania), to whom the girls often went to visit, also played a certain role in Olya’s upbringing.
Buzova’s parents claim that the girl already mastered reading and writing at the age of 3 and began learning a foreign language, which prompted them to send her to school at the age of 6. According to teacher Olga Galina Mikhailova, the girl took her studies more than seriously, never came to school unprepared for a lesson, and perceived getting a “B” as a small tragedy.
Already at school, Olga wanted to be the first in everything, tried to attract attention to herself, and as a teenager she began to imitate Britney Spears, coming to the gymnasium in tops that exposed her stomach and in insanely short skirts. As a result, almost the entire teaching staff became obsessed with her. In order to get a good grade, I had to prepare for lessons extremely diligently (“A+”, as the star herself claims). One way or another, Buzova graduated from school No. 631 in St. Petersburg with a silver medal and entered the geography department of one of the most prestigious universities in the country - St. Petersburg State University. This happened in 2002.
She graduated from Buzov University only in 2008, but with honors. By this time, the whole country already knew her as a participant in the popular reality show “Dom-2,” in which Olga had to take a sabbatical leave to participate. Afterwards, the girl periodically “asked for time off” at her “television station” to take exams. They did not put any obstacles in her way, and even arranged pleasant surprises, greeting her with flowers as she left the university building.
First fame: Olga Buzova on the project “Dom-2”
On the Dom-2 project, Olga Buzova appeared as a participant on May 22, 2014, she was then 18 years old. Here she began a relationship with Roman Tretyakov, which lasted an amazingly long time - about three years.
While on the project, Olga Buzova built not only a home and relationships, but also a career.
- Together with her lover, while participating in the show “Dom-2”, Olga first tried herself as a TV presenter. The young people hosted the talk show “Romance with Buzova” on TNT, then a radio program of the same name.
- From the pen of Buzova came the books “A Romance with Buzova” and “It’s About the Hairpin. Tips from a stylish blonde."
- In the fall of 2007, Olga began hosting her own column in the program “Morning on TNT” (the column was called “Beware, stylists!”), and tried herself as a host of the show “Black Mark.”
By this time, the couple “Roman Tretyakov and Olga Buzova” had broken up, as the young man left the project, and the girl continued to participate in the reality show. Roman never waited until Olga found the strength to “leave the aquarium,” found new love, and got married.
Olga never parted with the project, turning from a participant in “House-2” into its presenter with a salary of 500 thousand rubles a month.
Since December 2008, Olga Buzova has been the co-host of the reality show “Dom-2” and the chief editor of the magazine “World of Reality Show. House 2".
It would seem that your career has already been made, and you can stop there. But this is not about Olga Buzova, who seems to want to try herself in everything and become the first in everything. Participation in the Dom-2 project became one of the most important stages in the biography of Olga Buzova, but by no means the culmination.
Star Trek Olga
Thanks to the element of Air, to which Olga Buzova’s zodiac sign belongs, the girl is endowed with high intelligence, determination, artistry and sociability. After the program with Roman Tretyakov, the artist became the TV presenter of the “Beware, stylists!” section. In addition, the girl took an active part in other projects of the TV channel, among which is “Cosmopolitan. Video version”, as well as the show “Dancing with the Stars” on the Rossiya-1 channel.
However, Olga Buzova (zodiac sign - Aquarius) did not stop there. The girl decided to try herself as an actress. She was seen in the television series “Univer”, “Poor People”, and in the film “Bartender”. Olya also participated in such productions as “Gorgeous Wedding” and “Honeymoon”. About 7 years ago, the artist also showed herself as a singer. Olya recorded her first song called “Don’t Forget,” which she performed in a duet with rapper T-killah. A few years later, Buzova presented the single “To the Sound of Kisses” for public viewing.
Career of Olga Buzova
Olga Buzova has never tried herself in any capacity! She played in films and theater, performed on stage with jokes, judged young comedians, danced, sang. But it was only in the role of a singer that I finally felt that I had found what I wanted.
Let us dwell on some milestones in the creative biography of Olga Buzova.
- In August 2008, Olga Buzova played herself in the series “Univer”. Then there were roles in other films (“Bartender”, “Poor People”. “Take the Blow, Baby!”, “Chernobyl-2. Exclusion Zone”, “Zomboyashchik”, etc.), but only episodic ones.
- Olga Buzova made her debut on the theater stage in 2010, replacing Maria Kozhevnikova in the play “Chic Wedding.”
- In 2012, she took part in the show “Dancing with the Stars”, where she danced together with Andrei Karpov. The TV star, accustomed to being the first in everything, left the project in hysterics, offended that her choreographic abilities were not appreciated highly enough.
- In 2020, Buzova published a new book, “The Price of Happiness,” the pages of which were saturated with her favorite scents. It is difficult to call this book, as well as the previous ones, a literary work, but nevertheless they were published and sold.
- In 2020, Olga acted as one of the hosts of the “Babi Revolt” program on Channel One.
Olga did not find her calling neither in dancing, nor on stage, nor in cinema. She believes that her destiny is to sing. But we will dwell on this side of her creative biography in more detail below, but for now let’s talk about the personal life of a Russian show business star.
"The Price of Happiness"
In 2020, Olga released her fourth book with the self-explanatory title “The Price of Happiness.” The key word in this phrase is “price”: at the very beginning of sales it was quite a big deal. A simple set in vacuum packaging cost 1,190 rubles, and the option, where the pages are fragrant with the specially created fragrance Emotion No. 1 by Olga Buzova, cost almost 5,000! The media wrote that the first edition was sold out even before it went to press, but after the official presentation the excitement around “The Price of Happiness” subsided. So much so that those who sponsored the publication of the book filed a pre-trial claim with Olga Igorevna demanding that she advertise the product on her Instagram, since out of 10,000 copies only 3,000 were sold. By the way, today the book can be easily purchased on the Internet for a little less than 400 rubles
Personal life of Olga Buzova
It so happened that Olga Buzova gained fame by flaunting her personal life. First, she was in love with a participant in the reality show, Roman Tretyakov . Their relationship was built according to the law of a reality show, that is, in front of thousands of television viewers, and it is possible that they were even staged and well played.
Then there was participation in the “Let's Get Married” , where a banker, a businessman and a DJ fought for the heart of a tall blonde. However, the wedding never took place.
Then there was genuine and sincere love. her future husband, football player Dmitry Tarasov, in one of the popular clubs. At first she made a repulsive impression on him, as she spoke loudly and tried to attract attention to herself, but a little later the girl aroused the athlete’s genuine interest, so that soon he would even leave his wife and child, marrying Buzova.
Olga lived in marriage with Tarasov from June 26, 2012 to December 30, 2020. They got divorced with a scandal because of Dmitry's betrayal that was revealed.
Olga took the breakup hard, fell into depression and even almost fell ill. According to her, she was even prescribed IVs.
Having come to her senses, Olga changed her image, dyed her hair brunette and, according to some observant people, enlarged her cheekbones and lips. The change in image can be associated with a change in the star’s attitude towards life in general. However, she did not give up the search for family happiness.
In August 2020, Olga launched her own show “Married to Buzova” . The fight for her hand and heart was won by cheese maker Denis Lebedev. However, the winner failed to marry Buzova, as an ugly story surfaced: Denis took out loans and got divorced, forcing his ex-wife to pay for his debts. There is an opinion that this story was made up, and the show itself was a performance, but where exactly the truth lies is unknown. It is only obvious that Olga again demonstrated grief in connection with the revealed deception and undermined trust in the male sex, and remained a lonely star.
But the on-air matchmaking does not end there: in October 2019, the TNT channel will launch a new reality show “Plan B” , where Olga Buzova and Timur Batrutdinov will look for love simultaneously, helping each other improve their personal lives. Does anyone believe that this project will end with at least one wedding?
Buzova met with her former boyfriend
Rumors often appear about Olga Buzova and her personal life. Apparently, after participating in the show “Married to Buzov,” she never managed to find love. However, news recently emerged that she met with Roman Tretyakov many years after the breakup.
According to media reports, the celebrity participated in a YouTube program. The organizers invited the former lover of TV presenter R. Tretyakov. Olga refused to communicate with him. The man reacted calmly to this reaction.
In the mid-2000s, she built a relationship with this man, but now they do not maintain a relationship. Olga practically does not give interviews about this novel. Earlier, there was evidence that Roman does not like to answer questions related to Buzova, since this period of his life has passed.
Buzova's musical creativity
Olga Buzova first sang a duet with rapper T-killah in 2011, but her musical career began much later - after her divorce from Dmitry Tarasov.
The first was the song “I’m getting used to it,” followed by the composition “Not enough halves.” The world heard them in the winter and summer of 2020, respectively. The songs were included in the studio album “To the Sound of Kisses,” which was released in the fall of 2020. People spat, cursed, criticized, accused the newly-minted singer of a complete lack of any vocal abilities, but they listened and watched.
Olga Buzova’s second studio album had a telling title – “Accept Me!” It was released in the fall of 2020. In the summer of the same year, Buzova performed at VK FEST in St. Petersburg. The singer invested about 30 million rubles in the preparation of this performance, believing that in the future these investments would pay off. Also in 2018, she won the “You’re Just Cosmo” category at the Second “Heat” music award. And he stubbornly continues to record new videos and tour around the country.
By the way, it is hardly a secret for Olga that her vocals leave much to be desired, but she is working on herself, taking lessons and rehearsing, rehearsing. According to her, initially, even after performing one song, she was already tired. Now she can sing at a concert for 2 hours at a time. And, most importantly, this process gives her pleasure, which allowed her to choose a career as a singer.
There are many examples in show business when the charts were topped by songs whose performers did not have an outstanding voice or even an ear for music. Even if every Russian goes to Olga Buzova’s concert out of curiosity, she will more than justify the money invested in her musical career.
