Mother Stefania, about whom the Kalush Orchestra sings, is shy about popularity and criticizes her son's outfits
Mother Stefania, about whom the Eurovision winners sing, is a real person. This is Stefania Psyuk, the mother of the leader of the Kalush Orchestra, who lives in Kalush and is very shy about sudden popularity. TSN writes about this. A woman from her youth worked at a local chemical plant, then she ran her own business, now she is a saleswoman in a store. She is embarrassed by the attention of her son's fans and from interviews, but admits that she is very proud of him. Many fans of the group and viewers of Eurovision were sure that the song was dedicated to the soloist's girlfriend. Stefania herself did not know that the song was dedicated to her until the last. She says she still hasn't recovered from the fact that her son made her famous all over the world. – I probably need to walk under a black hat, and Oleg under a pink one, so that they don't recognize us. Well real! I went to the market, and there was a woman: “Oh, Stefania is a star mother. Can I take a picture?” You can, but if it were with my son, I understand. And why me?!, – says the woman. Stefania says that she had previously come to terms with the fact that her son did not become a computer scientist, but went into a frivolous show business. And now she, previously a fan of Oleg Vinnik's songs, listens to the entire repertoire of the Kalush Orchestra. – For me it was like something new. But now I like his songs, with these ethnic inserts of his. I read all the comments, I wonder what people think, – says the mother of the leader of the group. But Stefania will not put up with the way her rapper son dresses. – When Oleg I started writing that rap and walking around in those pants, it was a shock for me. I said that's how the homeless go. Small, thin, and the trousers are 10 sizes larger, – the woman recalls. At the same time, the woman says that she supports her son. She even wanted to surprise her son by coming to Turin for the Eurovision final without warning. It did not work out, because at the last moment my health failed. But, she is sure, the strength of maternal support helped even at a distance of one and a half thousand kilometers.
