Snizhana Babkina[a] (née Vartanian;[b] born 8 July 1985) is a Ukrainian actress and dancer who became the wife and manager of Serhii Babkin,[1] and the participant in the Tantsi z zirkamy (V season).
Snizhana participated in Dracula plays in 2019 and gave a performance during her pregnancy. The actress then shared a fresh tweet in which she claimed that the performance went well and that all she had gone through had been for nothing.[3]
A controversy involving Babkin and his band 5'nizza where performers use the Somewhere Show promoter's services to organize charity concerts overseas; the promoter mostly sells tickets for Russian events.[4][5] Snizhana, the performer's concert director, created a video message to put a stop to this tale.[6] She explained who supports them and how their job is organized overseas, adding that all of the money was handed to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.[7]
Snizhana stood up for her husband when he was accused of singing Russian songs during charity events hosted by the band 5'nizza in the US.[8][9] She stated in her Instagram stories that since the band's concert schedule is nearly entirely composed of Russian songs, it is unnecessary to draw comparisons between the band's and the singer's solo projects in terms of inventiveness.[10] She said, during 2022–2023, they were distributed to charity foundations, Kharkiv volunteers, children, the armed forces,[11] and the 127th Kharkiv City Defense Brigade.[8]
