Ruslana in the TV programme "Життєві сенсації. Службовий роман"/ "Life Sensations. Office Romance"
People don't gossip about the couple Ruslana-Ksenofontov, since not much is really known about Oleksandr. He is always in her shadow, but is always next to her, and he's responsible for a good part of her success...Oleksandr dreamed to become a musician, he was the singer in a Lviv rock band, for which he wrote the lyrics and the music himself. He has also sung in the opera. The young boy dreamed to conquer half of the planet and to become famous, but the fate didn't allow him to do so... He fell in love with a young charismatic girl and that distroyed all his plans. His meeting with Ruslana has turned all of his life upside-down. She obtained a total power on him.
Ruslana: When I first saw him, I understood I just had to be with him.
After that meeting, Ksenofontov began to work with Ruslana. He wrote songs for her and became the manager of the young Lviv talent. But love didn't make them wait. Quite soon, work partners became lovers.
Ruslana: My mom was against that.. She said "you are really different people. Sasha, you should be realistic, say her something to calm her down. You know how to do it.." My mother talked with him. I was really cross. I told my mother "Mom, you're taking my fate from me..."
Regardless of what their parents wanted, the lovers got married. The ceremony was very discrete and calm. Ksenofontov put an end to his singer career, and concentrated on making his wife get popular. They escped together from poverty and the lack of recognition.
Ruslana: Our life is very complicated. He's so jealous! It's even better not to greet any boy in his presence!
Their "office romance" is now considered as one of the most strong ones. That's maybe a unique example of a correct managment of family business. For the moment, the couple manages to survive without any common proprety division, scandal and unfaithfulness.
Ruslana: Sasha hates when I say he's my producer. He says, he's not a producer. When I ask him, who he is then, he answers that we just do everything together, but don't use this nasty word with me!! In other terms, he is always taking clue decisions, has the main ideas, messages...
Oleksandr very seldom gives interviews, he stays in the shadow of his wife and has sacrified his career on the altar of the popularity of his wife. However, Ruslana is really thankful and doesn't forget to remind everyone, in any occasion she can about her beloved producer.
Ruslana: The producer, my husband, the one that brings me inspiration: Oleksandr Ksenofontov!
Ok. thx. Now I get it:)
