Victoria Koblenko

Victoria Koblenko always leaves her audience with a powerful message—whether on the big screen or on stage. She moves, inspires, and gives insight into how we can make an impact together. Victoria Koblenko can be booked as a speaker, moderator, interviewer, and panel member at Het Sprekershuys. Background At the age of thirteen, she moved with her family to the Netherlands, where she attended grammar school at the Krimpenerwaard College. Despite her initial unfamiliarity with the Dutch language, she graduated within five years. In addition to Dutch, Koblenko speaks Russian, Ukrainian, English, French, and German. Combined with her background in Political Science, she knows how to tell compelling stories to a wide audience. She is also committed to climate and social issues, for example through her work as ambassador for NCDO and her volunteer work for victims of the war in Ukraine. From actress to columnist While still in high school, she appeared in commercials, but of course we all know her from the popular soap opera Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden. After a successful audition at the casting agency Harry Klooster, Victoria quickly landed a role in the series, gaining nationwide recognition. The role in GTST also allowed her to finance her studies. Today, she is known for Fck de liefde 2* (2022), Ik Wist Het (2022), and Alles is zoals het zou moeten zijn (2020). But Victoria Koblenko does not limit herself to acting. She presented the TV program Spuiten en Slikken (2014) and wrote columns for Metro and Trouw for four years. In 2020, Victoria exchanged television for theater: together with power women Anouk Maas and Tanja Jess, she appeared on stage in the comedy Mijn man begrijpt me niet. She also has a passion for health, a topic she enjoys sharing about. In April 2023, she published a book together with Dr. Ludidi about intermittent fasting. Victoria’s strength lies in the fact that in everything she does, she weaves in a powerful message and manages to inspire her audience time and again. Social engagement Victoria is dedicated to causes close to her heart. Over the past year, she has worked to alleviate the suffering of victims of the war in Ukraine. She volunteered full-time and, together with her husband, launched a GoFundMe campaign for generators in Ukraine—raising no less than 350,000 euros! She also frequently appeared on talk shows to highlight the cultural and historical nuances of the war. Determined to help, she donates the proceeds of her lectures on Zelensky: public speaking and professionalism in PR entirely to relief efforts for Ukraine.
