The Ukrainian model and actress Oksana Shelest gained universal fame after appearing next to the popular domestic actor Vladimir Mashkov (star of the series “Liquidation”). By the way, this bright brunette with brown eyes is not a relative of the TV presenter Olga Shelest. These two women are just namesakes.
The current wife of actor Vladimir Mashkov - Oksana Shelest - is often mentioned in the press as a model and actress with Ukrainian roots. However, detailed information about her biography and creative career in the public domain is practically not available. And the mention of the film “Let's do it fast” (2001) directed by Sergey Bodrov Sr., shot in the USA, is made in her filmography only because the main role of the mafia leader Oleg in it is assigned to V. Mashkov again.
The story of this film regarding the participation in Shelest is very confusing, as there is a fact of her acquaintance with Mashkov, but she does not appear in the credits even in the episodes.
Biography of Oksana Shelest
The critically small amount of information about Oksana Shelest does not even allow to tell the exact date and place of her birth. It is only known that she was born in some Ukrainian place, and the year of her birth varies between 1977 and 1980. The actress herself does not comment on these “white spots” of her biography, as if further heating up interest in her person.
In 2004, the actress played a cameo role in Vladimir Mashkov’s film “Papa, ” based on the story of Alexander Galich’s novel “Sailor Silence”. The interested public admits that the film Shelest may contain film projects filmed in America. There are also rumors that this mysterious brunette with a radiant smile has succeeded in the modeling business, which is supposedly supported by the words of her son Andrei. In one of his interviews, he readily said that in the USA their family has a house where they like to relax in their free time.
