The person who is the first to introduce people to news, sad or joyful, funny or serious, is almost always the news presenter on TV. One of the most famous personalities on Ukrainian television, the favorite of all the inhabitants of the country, without exaggeration, is Daria Kudimova. Once she dreamed of doing what her mother could not do – to become an actress. She succeeded even more than she wanted, because working on TV became an ideal profession for Daria Kudimova. She has been working on television for so long, leading various projects so talentedly that she can’t imagine her life without this profession.

About family, parents, childhood and youth
Judging by the accounts of her father and mother, her parents are not public figures at all, they are modest and worthy people. But it was precisely from their history of youth (more precisely, with their mother) that the path that Daria Kudimova went in the direction of TV work began. In a long interview for the 24 resource, a young woman said that she really dreamed about the profession of an actress in her childhood: “I didn’t know specifically what profession to choose, but the main thing for me in my dreams was beauty! And this is TV, or theatrical stage, or cinema,” she says in this interview.
Daria also shared that her mother had this dream – to learn to be an actress. And again – a quote: “The story turned out to be cinematic! Relatives raised money for her so that she would go to the city and enter the theater. And at the station, some scoundrels stole this money … Mom returned home before reaching the city, and her dream remained in the movie magazines that we subscribed to. The girl really wanted to make her mother's dream come true, but at the time when she studied at school, the profession of an actress seemed very unreliable in earnings, and it was decided to enter a solid, “earthly” specialty.
It also didn’t work out quite the way she wanted: Daria decided to “enter journalism through sociology.” But it so happened that either she begins to study in the specialty “Public Service and Information Activities”, or she waits a year, and Kudimova chose the first. And again – not the way she wanted! “In my first year I went to work: boring, monotonous – not mine!” Then there was the defense of the diploma, the birth of a child: “In principle, I dropped out of work for a year,” the thought arose of a second diploma, now an economic one. And … again abandoned this career. Although they even offered to stay at the department of the university where she studied.
Finally – TV!
Again, you need to quote the words that Daria Kudimova said, how she nevertheless became the host: “For the third time, I didn’t listen to anyone (it was decided about the economic university at the family council). I just took it and went to study first at print journalism courses, then at the Kyiv School of Journalism.” This is how she, at the age of 27, with two higher educations, completely unrelated to TV, finally touched her dream and began to determine her future life.
And she became a TV presenter by accident. Because she came to the TV channel “24” to get a job as a journalist, and she was immediately asked: “Why don't you want to be a presenter? Let's frame!” Daria Kudimova at first refused: they say, she almost never worked in the frame, and she had little experience, she would not “pull out” the air. And I heard the answer: “Pull it out!” The editor of the Style program, then coverage of the events on the Maidan, programs about what is happening in Lugansk and Donetsk, in Odessa and Kharkov … She mentioned in a conversation with colleagues that that period ended for her with a nervous breakdown and a hospital: “I am very emotionally worried about everything … “
Residents of Russia Daria Kudimova is familiar as “a sunny girl from channel 24” – that is how she is called in Russian-language sources. Having gone through several specialties, she eventually chose the ideal one for herself, and notes that two higher educations help her a lot in the profession, although they have no direct relation to TV. Daria Kudimova, as indicated on her Facebook profile (the resource is limited in the Russian Federation), works in 2022 on the Rada TV channel. She is fluent in Ukrainian, and no one realizes that she once did not speak the language very well: the presenter was born in the Lugansk region in a Russian-speaking village. “It was easier to return to Ukrainian than I thought – the main desire,” in her words. .png” class=”aligncenter wp-image-9774 size-full” title=”Daria Kudimova: biography of a TV presenter” alt=”Daria Kudimova: biography of a TV presenter”/>
