Childhood and youth
According to some sources, on the 10th day of July 1990 (Swan herself hides information about the exact date) on the right bank of the Dnieper, in the city of Kherson, a girl was born, who was named quite unusually - Elena-Kristina. And this name is really real, which is confirmed by the entry in the passport. The parents doted on their daughter, but the little fidget did not give them a moment of peace, so the adults decided that one child in the family was enough.

The granite of science at school was easy to master; the diary was filled with straight A's. Christina especially loved “precision” objects. But his behavior ran counter to his studies. The girl regularly resolved issues with the opposite sex using forceful techniques, one even got a chair, for which her father and mother were constantly called to the carpet.
Another vivid memory of those years is a broken glass ball in the head teacher’s office. The interior item was destroyed as a sign of protest to teachers who did not want to give excellent marks for diligence. At a young age, the TV presenter did not get out of various sections and circles - karate, rhythmic gymnastics and skating, painting, vocals and dancing. She plans to resume her last lesson now, the goal is passionate tango.
Summer holidays were invariably spent with his grandmother in the village, where at the age of 15 the teenager had his first kiss. This happened on a bench near the house at dawn. Everything would be fine, but the ardent gentleman, it seems, was so worried that he called the object of his love by another woman’s name. Chris likes to share this and other valuable information about the biography of his childhood and adolescence with his fans at online meetings.

During one of these online conversations, concerned fans asked how parents feel about the brave profession of their only child, when she is almost constantly in dangerous proximity to the unpredictable and low-moral heroes of the program.
“I’m lying to them. When my mother asks: “When is your premiere?” I say that I don’t know yet. And when everything was already on air, I answer: “I forgot to say. God, I was in such a frantic race,” the presenter answered, laughing.
When the graduate was awarded a school certificate, she moved to Kyiv, where she received a higher education with a degree in cybernetics. But, as Christina likes to joke, the only manifestation of this in her life is watching “The Terminator.”
Elena-Christina Lebed – biography, photo, height and weight, personal life 2020
Elena-Christina Lebed is a TV presenter, known to viewers from the program “Scammers in Networks” on the Ukrainian channel “New Channel” and on the Russian TV channel “Friday!”
Previously, she was the editor-in-chief of the TV program “Scammers”, co-host of the show “FBI” (“Fantastic Prank Bureau”), director and actress of the project “Adults as Children.” During the TV show about swindlers, she sometimes acted as a deceiver, revealing to viewers typical schemes for “divorcing” people on the Internet. But more often she boldly got involved in dangerous stories, skillfully playing the victim, and exposing scammers literally at the risk of her life. The fragile champion of truth was repeatedly beaten and robbed, but could not be intimidated or stopped. During the period from 2014 to 2020. she managed to uncover more than fifty cases of fraud. The future extravagant and fearless presenter was born on July 10, 1990 (some sources indicate the year of birth in 1979) in the south of Ukraine in the city of Kherson (according to other sources, in the city of Balakovo, Saratov region). There is no information about her parents in open sources. Elena-Kristina is the real name “according to the passport”. It is known that in 2014, her father was terminally ill (stage 4 cancer), and to help him pay for expensive treatment, she sold her own things on social networks. The girl wrote about him to her subscribers with great warmth and love: “Dad... one of those people of honor and justice who are almost never made now.” In an interview, the actress admitted that since childhood she had a very lively and irrepressible character, and joked that for this reason her relatives did not dare to have a second child. As a result, she was the only and adored child in the family, who received the undivided attention of mom and dad.
After school, she acquired a serious specialty - cybernetics. But now, according to Elena-Christina, of the “cybernetic” manifestations in her life, she can only remember watching the science-fiction film “Terminator” with Schwarzenegger. The career of a TV presenter for an active, intelligent and attractive Kherson woman began on the M1 and ICTV channels in Kyiv, where she arrived, taking with her from home a hot southern temperament and her favorite pillow, nicknamed “dumpling”.
In 2011, she received the position of chief editor in the highly social television program “Scammers,” aired on the Ukrainian “New Channel.” As part of the show, she, along with the charming presenter Anastasia Kasilova, Dmitry Summar and Denis Rozgon, not only gave practical recommendations on how not to become a victim of lovers of easy money, but also convincingly role-played various types of fraudulent schemes.
For example, they once showed how to sit in a restaurant for a tidy sum at someone else’s expense, demonstrated the “scam” of a taxi driver with whom Elena-Kristina rode around the city for a long time, but did not pay anything for the trip, and also told how you can steal an expensive necklace from a jewelry store right in front of sellers and buyers. Subsequently, the actors, of course, returned the money, bags and other things obtained by deception to the injured party. But all their brilliant “machinations” forced the direct participants and spectators to be more careful in the future. The popularity of the program was facilitated by the participation of show business stars in it - Snezhana Egorova, Abraham Russo, Ani Lorak, Viktor Pavlik and many others. Celebrities talked about similar unpleasant situations in their lives, when they succumbed to various provocations, for example, recklessly believing nice people who turned out to be apartment swindlers. At each episode of the show, the presence of consultants was also provided: a representative of law enforcement agencies and a psychologist. The next step on the path to journalistic recognition was Lebed’s participation in 2012 in a TV show on the New Channel called “FBI” (“Fantastic Hoax Bureau”). She became its co-host (together with Denis Rozgon). The previous project “Scammers” had to be closed, as the presenters began to be recognized on the streets, and it became difficult for them to carry out scams.
They invited couples to a new program in which one of the halves wanted to resort to playing a prank on the partner in order to wean him from some bad habit. In most cases, girls wanted to teach their boyfriends a lesson for leaving socks scattered around the apartment, and men wanted to teach their lovers a lesson for being unbearably jealous.
At the end of filming “FBI” in 2013, Elena-Kristina was offered to film the sketch “Adults as Children” and was appointed project manager. The show included 20 episodes, each of which consisted of sixteen comedy sketches. Their original sections became interesting and popular: “Repetitions”, where children from 5 years old funnyly pronounced the proposed words, “Rationales”, where they explained different expressions. For example, “feng shui” - according to the girl Asya (7 years old), this is her mother’s fur coat, and “living with curly hair” means living with sheep, according to her peer Misha. In the sketch show, Swan appeared in various roles, including a nurse, a driver, and a rival bitch. In 2014, Christina became the heroine of the “Scammers on Networks” program, where, together with the creative team, she began exposing scammers from buying and selling sites, marriage scammers, various charlatans, pseudo-healers, blackmailers and other figures engaged in dishonest deeds on the global network. They found them through publications on classified ads/dating sites in different images - a glamorous young lady, a student, a provincial girl. Investigations have proven that harmless online dating is often life-threatening and can result in loss of money and property, stress and deep disappointment. Charismatic and attractive, she carefully protects her private life from journalists. She noted in an interview that her man is not afraid to let her go even into the forest with bandits, because he completely trusts her, her film crew, and bodyguards. Elena-Kristina loves her dog named Fedya and active recreation: driving fast, dancing energetically, singing loudly. She likes skydiving, fantasy films, smart men, clingy dresses, singer Britney Spears. She doesn't like autumn, mosquitoes and cosmetics.
According to the presenter, she does not walk, but flies, does not use the elevator, but runs up the steps to the seventh floor, overtaking him, does not stand in line at the supermarket checkout, but dances.
In 2020, Elena-Christina starred in the show on the New Channel “Stars under Hypnosis”, an adaptation of the French entertainment TV show “Stars sous hypnose”. Having agreed to undergo a risky experiment under the guidance of hypnotist Vladimir Efimov, they did not even suspect what would happen to them during the hypnotic session. The new season of the TV show “Scammers in Networks” with Lebed’s participation is scheduled to start on February 20, 2020.

A television
The first places of “service” on television were the Ukrainian musical M1 and the national ICTV. But soon the New Channel drew attention to the purposeful and hardworking Lebed and gave her the position of editor-in-chief of the “Scammers” program.

TV presenter Elena-Kristina Lebed
Here she and co-hosts Dmitry Summar, Denis Rozgon and Anastasia Kasilova acted as those they were fighting against - demonstrating on air how easy it is to get rich with a chic fur coat or expensive jewelry. Then they explained how to avoid such annoying cases, and in a separate section they arranged interviews with celebrities who had fallen for scammers.
The efforts of the film crew were not in vain - the ratings of the useful show went off scale, and Elena-Kristina turned into a real star, which, in fact, prevented further work. In 2012, I had to retrain as the “FBI” - “Federal Bureau of Hoaxes.” However, in 2014, the channel’s management decided to revive the sensational project in a new format and return the beloved TV presenter to the show.
Program “Scammers in Networks” - “Check of Loyalty”
“Scammers on Networks” chose the almighty Internet as its field of activity. The creators of the program talked about dating sites, whose visitors pursued selfish goals, and not at all the search for a soul mate.
For example, they forced girls to lose their vigilance during emotional conversations about a bright future together, or they put them into a stressful situation, while at the same time carrying out a fraudulent scheme. Or they gave an example of how behind a decent photo shoot there was hidden an erotic one that threatened to end up on the Internet, or how so-called psychics and clairvoyants act, wanting to profit from gullible and frightened clients.

Elena-Christina Lebed with long hair
In “Test of Loyalty,” Chris volunteered to help people who, for one reason or another, had lost trust in their loved ones, acting as a sexual “bait.” Fortunately, the parameters of a slender figure (height 170 cm, weight 45 kg) made it possible to realize what I wanted. Often, for the column, Swan radically changed her appearance - she would either come on dates with long pink hair, or dress up as a nurse, or sunbathe by the pool in a provocative red swimsuit.
The TV presenter once admitted that she would not mind testing her chosen one. By the way, the show caught the attention of the young popular video blogger Brian Maps, who kindly ridiculed the program.
Career
Nobody really knows how miraculously Christina ended up on television. Just one fine day, with a small suitcase, a southern temperament and her favorite funny pillow, Christina ended up in Kyiv, where she was quickly able to get to work on the M1.
The first years of her career did not bring the success and popularity that Christina so dreamed of. In addition, she did not have a journalistic education, and many simply did not take the fragile (only 45 kg with a height of 170 cm) young girl seriously.
But in 2011, everything changed when management offered her the position of chief editor of the “Scammers” program. Christina was so carried away by exposing deceivers that she completely immersed herself in this atmosphere. This brought the program to the top of the ratings, and made Christina herself recognizable.
Together with other presenters and professional actors, Christina showed how you can have lunch “on the ball” in an expensive restaurant, travel half a day by taxi and pay nothing, steal an expensive fur coat from a beauty salon and many other tricks used by real swindlers.
In addition, Christina talked with the stars invited to the program, who did not hesitate to tell how they themselves became victims of such scams. All cases were commented on by lawyers and law enforcement officers, telling viewers how to behave and where to turn in such cases.
The program was rapidly gaining popularity, but after a year the project had to be closed, as Christina began to be recognized on the streets and it became incredibly difficult to carry out scams in real conditions. Then she was transferred to a new project, “Federal Bureau of Pranks.”
However, the topic of “divorce” was more interesting for Christina. Therefore, when in 2014 she was offered to again become the host of the already updated format of the “Scammers in Networks” program, she happily agreed. Moreover, during this time she even managed to realize herself as the head of the “Adults as Children” project, which was a humorous sitcom.
Christina’s task in the new show about swindlers was to find them on social networks and show viewers what techniques they use to get money or achieve other selfish goals. It is interesting that in this project, sometimes Christina herself took on the role of a swindler, explaining in detail to the audience how they were being deceived.
Despite the fact that during the filming of the program, Christina was constantly accompanied by a support group of specially trained soldiers to ensure her safety, anything happened during the three years of filming the program. She was strangled, beaten, and almost raped several times. But even this did not make her give up her favorite project.
By the way, the film crew often handed over exposed swindlers to law enforcement agencies. This attracted the attention of criminal circles to Christina, and they began to intimidate her. However, the fragile girl has a completely different character. She continues to look for new stories for her program, believing that in this way she really helps people not get into similar situations.
Personal life
Christina also hides her personal life from fellow journalists in every possible way. She is officially not married, but she has a beloved man. Christina appreciates that he trusts her completely and does not ask her to abandon a rather risky project.
Many people wonder how she manages to keep herself in such great shape. However, Christina has no special secrets. She just leads a very active lifestyle. In his free time, he enjoys extreme sports, including skydiving. He walks his dog a lot, never uses the elevator, and perceives stress as a challenge and part of the job.
Christina does not like excess cosmetics, mosquitoes and autumn slush. Therefore, with the onset of cold weather, he tries to sit out for a month or two in warm countries. There she swims, lazes and makes her favorite cinnamon cheesecakes. She also loves watching science fiction films, but there is almost no time left for that.
Personal life
It’s hard to resist the bright, cheerful and radiant Christina, who has a sense of humor and natural charm. So the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Pavel Rozenko fell under the spell of the beauty. In the fall of 2018, the appearance of a couple hand in hand at a social event caused confusion among the public - the politician and the darling of television screens were having an affair. She did not deny the direct question.

“I posted a photo on Facebook, which he commented on. He wanted to tease me. And I don’t like jokes, I immediately got angry and thought that I would block this comrade. But something held me back. Then he wrote that he was ready to compromise. That’s how it all started, with a compromise,” the girl admitted.
When journalists asked how her man felt about his work, Lebed said that he was not jealous because he was endowed with strong nerves.
Elena-Christina Lebed now
Elena-Christina continues her good mission - to keep viewers from falling into the hands of clever swindlers from the Internet. Being a person from the television screen, the celebrity does not suffer from star fever - he willingly agrees to take joint pictures with fans and responds to their requests to convey greetings from his own profiles.

On Instagram and Facebook she actively publishes photographs of both work moments and her personal life. For example, how she “raises” the dog Zhorik or how she injured her leg while on vacation at the beginning of 2019 and underwent surgery.
