Victoria Koblenko (Russian: Ð'Ð¸ÐºÑ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ð¸Ñ ÐšÐ¾Ð±Ð»ÐµÐ½ÐºÐ¾) (born
19 December 1980, in Vinnitsa, Soviet Union) is a Dutch actress,
presenter and columnist.Victoria Koblenko was born and raised in the
Soviet Union as an only child. It was not until 1992 when she was 12
that she and her parents moved to the Netherlands. Settling down in a
faraway Western European country with an entirely different
atmosphere, culture and language was a formative experience in her
life and very much served to broaden her horizons. Koblenko adapted
swiftly to life in her newly adopted country, learning to speak fluent
Dutch. Attending a gymnasium (college preparatory school) in the
Netherlands, she also mastered English, German and French, plus
classical Latin and Greek, while maintaining her command of Russian
and Ukrainian. She had the best grade for Latin and scored eight out
of 10 for Dutch. At the age of 18, she began studying Political
science at Leiden University.Although as a child Victoria never
entertained the ambition of becoming an actress one day, she was
featured in several TV commercials in her early teens. Koblenko
achieved stardom when she played Isabella Kortenaer in the
Netherlands' most popular and longest-running TV soap opera, "Goede
Tijden, Slechte Tijden" ("Good Times, Bad Times"), from 2000 to 2010.
Her first major film role was that of Marieke in the psychological
thriller "Stille Nacht" (2004) which earned her the Favorite Actress
Award at the 2004 edition of the Dutch Film Festival. The film was
also enthusiastically received at the European Film Festival in
Tuscany.
