Winner of the "Miss Ukraine 2019" contest, Margaryta Pasha, celebrated her 31st birthday at an elite resort in France. The celebration, held at a luxurious villa in Saint-Tropez, sparked a wide resonance in Ukrainian society. Against the backdrop of the ongoing war, users were outraged not only by the scale of the event but also by its Russian-language format and the presence of Russian showmen.
Society Gala with Participation of Show Business Stars
For the celebration, the titleholder chose a closed location on the coast of the French Riviera. About thirty guests gathered for the party. Judging by the videos published on social media, the party was held on a grand scale and included a rich entertainment program.
Particular attention from the public was drawn to the lineup of artists invited to perform. Ukrainian singer Svetlana Loboda sang for the birthday girl and her friends, performing her old Russian-language hits. Showman Maxim Galkin also appeared on stage, performing his own compositions and songs from the repertoire of the duo with Alla Pugacheva.
The hosts of the evening were Russian humorist Ekaterina Varnava and former Comedy Club participant Igor Meerson. According to video recordings from social media, Russian was the main language of communication at the celebration.
Surprise for Guests: Pregnancy and Gender Reveal
The climax of the evening was a personal surprise from Margaryta Pasha. The model publicly announced her pregnancy to the guests. According to social media data, she had not told even her close circle about her condition until the celebration.
During the celebration at the villa, a gender reveal party was held where guests found out the sex of the future child. Margaryta's partner is Ukrainian businessman Alexander Guzenko. According to open data, he, along with his daughter, is associated with LLC "Gas-MDS," and the "Nadra-Geoinvest" group was in the top three private gas extraction companies in Ukraine in 2023. In addition, Guzenko owns a factory for producing Status brand wallpaper, the products of which are widely represented in Ukrainian construction hypermarkets.
History of Controversial Statements
The celebration of Margaryta Pasha's birthday once again drew attention to her public biography. After winning the "Miss Ukraine" contest, the model was repeatedly criticized. In particular, she was condemned for refusing to give an interview in Ukrainian to Ekaterina Osadcha.
A separate resonance in 2019 was caused by her answer to a question about the status of Crimea. After the annexation of the peninsula by Russia, Pasha stated that "Crimea is part of the Earth." In social media, such a formulation was perceived as ambiguous and politically incorrect.
In recent years, the native of Kharkiv has lived abroad. Her social media is dominated by posts about travels, expensive resorts, and society events, which creates a contrast with the current situation in the country.
