Actress Malkova spoke for the first time about harassment from a legend of Soviet and Ukrainian cinema.

Ukrainian actress Tetyana Malkova shared in an interview with Alina Dorotyuk about the harassment she experienced from the famous actor Volodymyr Talashko. She recounted that this happened when she was starting her studies at the Karpenko-Kary University. Malkova met Talashko, who taught at the university, and at first, he supported her and promised that she would definitely enroll.

However, when the actress told her mother about the lecturer, she did not support her intentions. According to her, her mother said that Talashko is a specific person and could take her not for her talent, but for something else. Malkova ignored these remarks.

«He said that I as an actress need to create a portfolio and suggested that we do it together at his home. I agreed and went to his place. But during the photoshoot, something very unpleasant happened, and I barely escaped,» Malkova recounted.

The story ended with the actress taking her documents from the university. She also noted that Talashko is not the only lecturer who has harassed students, but she currently does not name them due to a lack of evidence.

It is worth recalling that Volodymyr Talashko was accused of sexual harassment by a student of the Karpenko-Kary University. He denied these accusations, and after investigating the case, the police found him innocent.
