Singer Irina Bilyk, whom her husband forced to lose weight, told how she regained her Ukrainian surname.

The celebrity remembered how, in her childhood, Ukrainian-language kindergartens and schools were closed, and Ukrainian surnames were translated into Russian.

"When I was little, Ukrainian-language gardens and schools were closed, and our surnames were translated from the Ukrainian version into Russian - it was the Russification of Ukraine, total. My dad and my mother wrote other names on the passport, not those that my grandparents wore, so I was also wearing the surname Bilyk with the Russian accent - Belik. And when in 1989 I got to the festival "Chervona Ruta" in Chernivtsi, I was asked how to correctly write my name in Ukrainian. And I called my name by grandmother - Bilyk, "- said the actress, writes" KP "in Ukraine".

According to Bilyk, soon she began to look for documents of her relatives and found out that all her ancestors were Bilyki.

"Then I began to look for documents of my relatives - all I had were Bilyki. Then I came to the passport office and rewrote my name correctly. We can say that I returned it to myself and my family, "the singer said..

Let's remind that last week Irina Bilyk's husband showed their grown son. One of these days the kid was executed two years.
