Alena Zhigalova is a journalist, blogger, interviewer, gossip reporter. She has always been at the center of show business events, but she gained particular fame in society after the launch of the author’s program “Alena Blin!”.

Alena Zhigalova: biography of a journalist

Real name – Elena Zhigalova. Originally from the city of Vologda. Birthday – December 22, the exact year is unknown. I received a diploma of higher education in 2006, so the approximate age is 35-37 years. The stage name – Alena, blin – was heard by social media in 2017.

From blog entries and VK posts it follows that Alena is a devoted fan of Philip Kirkorov. There are enough joint photos on the network. When the name of the correspondent began to appear on the yellow press page, colleagues began to suspect her idol of leaking juicy moments from their lives. In 2007, Zhigalova covered the scandalous news about Maxim Galkin and was involved in a conflict with Pugacheva. Then the sphere of show business wondered who such a daring journalist who dares to cover facts from the biography of stars is.

Alena worked for such publications as Life and Express newspaper, where she reviewed the latest events from the media. She was the editor-in-chief of the magazine “Secrets of the Stars”. In the circle of show figures, she is equally appreciated and hated. Nevertheless, the reporter is regularly invited to the New Wave festival, where she hosts both an adult and a children’s competition. The press observer’s Instagram proudly posted a post about another request to cooperate on the Muz-TV award. In 2017, she was in the TOP of the most cited media authors in the review of the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest.

Show “Alena, Blin!” – celebrity interviews

YouTube channel “Alena, damn it!” was founded in 2008, but has not developed at all. In 2017, Zhigalova turns her career biography towards the interviewer. The first guests of her program are Yana Rudkovskaya, Lolita Milyavskaya and Joseph Prigogine. The journalist skillfully learns the personal secrets of the stars – for example, conflicts with colleagues or how old was the first sexual experience. But after 4 releases, the journalist slows down and until the fall of 2019 Alena Blin does not release new videos.

The author’s reporter format in October 2019 decides to take the Super edition. On the YouTube channel, the magazine begins to post issues with an interview with Alena Blin. The first “victim” was Dima Bilan. He, according to Internet publics and the personal photo archive of the journalist, is her good friend. The sensational incident at the concert in Samara became one of the topics discussed in the conversation. For the winner of Eurovision-2008, Olga Seryabkina and Max Fadeev came to Zhigalova’s studio. The latter spoke about the liquidation of his label and the transfer of copyright.

Of particular interest to gossip fans was the video with David Manukyan. Blogger DAVA, who once became the second half of the pop diva Olga Buzova, spoke about the past from his biography. He also explained the true intentions at the heart of the pop queen and tried to dispel the erroneous notion that he was a gigolo. This edition of the program was watched by more than 2 million people in 2 weeks.

A little less resonance on YouTube was caused by Alena’s interview with Aiza Anokhina, where Guf’s ex-wife shared the details of the current divorce with her second husband. The interviewer focused on the joint child and his experiences, but Aiza reassured Zhigalova and the audience of the release. The son, due to his age, does not yet understand the seriousness of the situation.

Before successful videos with a number of stars, the presenter did not have an interview with the music artist Dzhigan. The reason was brightly illuminated by the tabloids, and Alena Blin herself posted the footage from the cameras on her YouTube channel. In addition, she published a post on Instagram that the artist is behaving extremely rudely. Most versions of the reason why Dzhigan disrupted the filming of the next episode of the program agreed on the banal request of one of his friends to go to the toilet. True, the guys refused to issue a pass before this, and someone even jumped over the turnstile.

Personal life of host Alena Zhigalova

In addition to a strong connection with the ancestors – grandparents, mother and even great-grandfathers – there are no stories about Zhigalova’s personal life. She often writes about her relatives in the installation. According to the missing data in the networks, it can be judged that the journalist is not married and has no children. She devotes all her time to work. Travel photos are consistently posted on the press observer’s Instagram. She goes abroad several times a year and leads a fairly free lifestyle. He loves hookah, the sea and is not averse to hanging out in clubs. From places of rest often there are pictures with people from show business.
