Roman Budnikov: I well understand Boris Shcherbakov’s offense

Passion for music

At the age of sixteen, everything in Roman’s life changed dramatically, since at that time he began to become interested in music, and he especially liked playing the guitar. This later determined my goals in life, and also limited my circle of friends, since my friends were now mostly musical.

Roman Budnikov immediately entered the music school, but studying there turned out to be so interesting that he mastered the entire multi-year program in just two years and passed the exams as an external student, surprising his teachers with his talent and skill. Soon he becomes a member of the popular rock band Noah's Ark. But he did not stay as a guitarist in this group for long, as he really wanted to conquer the capital.

Young musician

The novel was born in 1973 in the Saratov region. His parents were educated and intelligent people: his father was engaged in a musical career, and his mother devoted herself entirely to her students, working as a school teacher. His younger sister Olga also grew up in the family. Five years later, the father left them, and the mother had to raise the children alone.

In his childhood, he had the usual boyish interests and went in for sports, but he began to be interested in music only at the age of 15, when youthful love overtook him. Budnikov found his father's guitar at home, and then began to select chords; Soon he wrote his first song in the style of classic rock and roll. While performing songs in companies, he met a guy who was interested in rock and blues. At the suggestion of a new acquaintance, the young musician entered a music school, managing to graduate as an external student.

Even before entering, Roman managed to create his own rock band, although at that time he did not have musical knowledge. After graduating from school, on the advice of his mother, he applied to the university, however, he did not get one point, which is why he was not able to study at the Faculty of Geography. Then the young man entered a music school, where he studied guitar.

His plans were to enter the conservatory, so he took lessons from a tutor. But before the exams, he met a girl with whom he fell in love at first sight. She was a student at a theater university, and soon the future presenter followed his beloved. Budnikov was accepted into the university without any exams, but he did not study there, as he took up a musical career, setting off to conquer the capital in the late 90s.

Creative career in Moscow

After arriving in the capital, the young musician’s life changed dramatically again. Roman Budnikov went to Moscow, thinking that he would study music, and suddenly he was unexpectedly offered to work on television. An acquaintance suggested that he take part in the program, and Roman was noticed on the set, and soon he was already working as a presenter on the “Capital” television channel.

The first television program hosted by the young presenter was “Everyday Life of the Capital,” and after that offers began to come from other television channels. Roman Budnikov, whose biography is eventful, worked on such channels as RET-TV, Doverie, VKT, and Channel One.

Roman liked the television. And he himself behaved actively, which the management of television channels really liked. The young presenter himself came up with the programs and sections that he wanted to host. This is how the Gosloto lottery appeared. 5 out of 36”, which turned out to be interesting to the viewer and which for a long time was the main lottery in the country.

Personal life and hobbies of a talented person

From his first marriage, Roman has a daughter, Alexandra, whom he tries to see on weekends.
She, continuing the musical tradition in her family, plays the flute, and very successfully, taking prizes at various performances. Budnikov is proud of his daughter and gives her every support. After the first divorce, he was married, but the second marriage also ended in divorce. Roman has no children with his second wife. Now he positions himself as a bachelor and declares that he is ready for a new relationship.

In addition, despite his successful career as a presenter, Budnikov did not give up his favorite hobby of music. At the moment he is the leader of the NEbudni group. Due to the constant filming and live broadcasts on the Good Morning program, the presenter has a busy schedule, but whenever possible he tries to make time for music.

In mid-September, the presenters of Channel One, as well as film and show business stars, visited Tula, where they held the twentieth anniversary event “First in the Army.” Famous TV presenters and actors visited the training ground of the 106th Tula Airborne Division, where they tested almost all types of Tula weapons, including the famous Maxim machine gun.

For Roman Budnikov, the “First in the Army” campaign coincided with the broadcast week, when from 5 to 9 am he, in the company of his co-host Olga Ushakova, must be in direct contact with the audience. Nevertheless, having finished his work at Good Morning, Roman immediately went to Tula, in time for the ceremonial part, when the best officers and soldiers were awarded valuable prizes.

As it turned out, Roman does not regret the missed opportunity to try out weapons, since he is an inveterate pacifist and shooting is not one of his many hobbies.

– I am a very peaceful person, for peace in the whole world, so that no one fights with anyone, so that no one offends anyone, and so that weapons will never be useful to us or anyone. I also participated in previous “First in the Army” events, shooting in them is not the main thing, for me personally, the emotions and feelings of the people who were waiting for the team of the “First Channel”, which, with the support of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, helped officers who put their lives in service, are more important To the Fatherland, to believe that everything is fine in our country. Agree, when a person leaves the training ground in front of the podium and his entire regiment in a car donated in honor of the holiday, this is a very strong impression for him and his family, says Roman Budnikov.

Morning broadcasts are fraught with lack of sleep, and therefore Roman Budnikov, according to his admission, learned to cheat, that is, doze in the car on the way to filming.

“For the first year I couldn’t sleep anywhere, then I developed a habit, and if I don’t have enough rest, I pass out anywhere, in any state,” shared the TV presenter, who has been hosting “Good Morning” for two years and “Fazenda” for almost five years.

But from all his projects and even his busy schedule, Roman, according to him, gets high and even has time for music. For those who don’t know, Budnikov has his own musical group, “Not Everyday Life,” with which he tours cities and villages.

The TV star tries not to talk about his personal life, although it is known that he was married twice and from his first marriage he has a 14-year-old daughter, Alexandra.

– I’m a Sunday dad, although we see each other more than once a week; this summer, for example, my daughter and I went on an eight-day tour of Europe. First we visited Budapest, where we attended a huge music festival for two days, then we went to Austria - had breakfast, drank coffee and rushed to the Netherlands. There we already rented a car and went to France. I was in Paris for the first time and was disappointed, I’ll say more - tense, somehow uneasy there, so we quickly ran away from there. My daughter and I took two acoustic guitars with us and periodically gave small concerts. Sasha graduated from music school with a degree in flute, writes songs, and I support her in all her endeavors. It’s great to get away together, father and daughter, we had a fantastic pleasure from the trip,” admitted Roman Budnikov, who knows how to turn any day of the week into “Not everyday life.”

Broadcast "Hacienda"

Roman Budnikov always wanted to work on Channel One. Trying to understand what program he could introduce, he found out for himself that the famous program “Hacienda,” which was hosted by Sergei Kolesnikov at that time, was interesting to him. And already in 2012, he actually became the host of a program where he talked about the renovation of country houses. He quickly earned the sympathy and recognition of television viewers.

And the program had a wonderful presenter who talked about what he himself experienced. It is known that before filming this TV show, he was able to build himself a dacha in the Moscow region. Therefore, he tells the television viewer about those things that he is excellent at doing himself: painting, mixing cement mortar, welding, making a roof, and understands how to install electricity and plumbing into a house.

Roman himself believes that he received all these skills, practice and, most importantly, experience in construction thanks to his grandfather. His grandfather, Ivan Antonovich Tenigin, was an engineer, inventor and designer, so he worked a lot and often with his grandson, teaching him both design and how and what needs to be made so that it is practical and beautiful.

In search of family happiness

The Channel One presenter tried more than once to start a family, but now he is free and open to new relationships. His acquaintance with his first wife Galina took place in Saratov, when they came to a performance by the group “Noah’s Ark”. The girl had many common interests with him; During her childhood, she also went to music school and learned to play the violin. The lovers did not date for long, and when they got married, they decided to leave for Moscow. At first, they rented housing and played together in a restaurant.

Soon the couple decided to move to Israel; they prepared for the move very thoroughly and even planned to study the language in courses. Over time, they abandoned emigration; their business in the capital went uphill, and besides, a daughter, Alexandra, appeared in the family. Budnikov was unable to save this marriage, but after the divorce, the former spouses remained friends. Galina arranged her fate: she met a new chosen one, to whom she gave birth to a daughter.

The daughter followed in the footsteps of her star father: she studied at a music school and is now trying to write her own songs, parodies of famous hits, and also shoots videos. The girl values the opinion of the presenter, so she asks him for advice every time. Roman tries to meet with Sasha more often, and also goes on trips with her. They have already made a short tour of Europe, visiting Budapest, Austria, the Netherlands and France. Father and daughter took acoustic guitars with them and sometimes performed small concerts in front of local residents.

Soon Roman also experienced changes in his personal life; his wife Ekaterina was a builder by training, but was involved in web design. He met his future beloved at his concert. The lovers were in no hurry to legitimize their relationship and dated for about two years, and in 2012 they got married. The couple spent a lot of time together, often traveled and attended concerts, however, the idyll between them soon faded away. After being married for four years, the couple separated and then went their separate ways. The divorce of the former spouses passed without hysterics and scandals, and even now they often communicate and support each other in various endeavors.

The presenter does not consider his period of loneliness to be uncomfortable; he continues to enjoy life and finds pleasure in many things. The broadcast star is a very positive person who approaches many things easily and positively; he tries not to talk about his problems with the people around him, thanks to which he moves through life easily.

Good Morning program

There have been many rumors about how Roman Budnikov ended up on the well-known Good Morning program, which is broadcast live every day.

It all started with the fact that the already well-known presenter Boris Shcherbakov, who hosted “Good Morning” for several years, was unexpectedly fired, and there was not even any explanation. But then a new presenter immediately appeared on Channel One’s most popular program, who turned out to be Roman Budnikov.

Immediately after this, rumors followed that he ended up on this program for a reason, but that he was someone’s relative. But no one could understand who was promoting the young and promising presenter. These rumors were also fueled by the fact that there was already a similar situation with the “Fazenda” program, which was hosted by the excellent television presenter Sergei Kolesnikov before him. It is known that Kolesnikov was also unexpectedly fired, and after that Roman Budnikov began hosting the program.

But Roman himself refutes all these rumors in every interview, and he explains everything that happens to him only by the fact that he knows how to work and always does his job superbly. By the way, he perfectly combines his busy television schedule with performances of the NeBudni group, which is his hobby.

Activities and hobbies

Budnikov does not yet have his own country house, but his mother left him with a dacha in the Saratov region, into which he invested a lot of effort as a boy, building a house. Now he visits his homeland less and less, where his sister lives. At one time he wanted to build his own house in the Moscow region, but due to his busy work schedule he abandoned these dreams. Perhaps in a few years he will bring this idea to life and acquire a country house with a swimming pool and a tennis table. He can do a lot with his own hands, so he will build his dream house himself.
To stay toned and in shape, Roman plays sports and goes to the sauna. He often plays table tennis with friends, organizing small competitions. Once, having tried to fly on radio-controlled quadcopters, the broadcast star experienced an unforgettable experience and now, if possible, strives to repeat this experience.
He never gave up music; moreover, he created his own group “NEbudni”, with which he rehearses and goes on tour in his free time. The Gibson brand guitar has become his constant companion, and as soon as there is a break in work, Budnikov takes it in his hands and begins to play a melody. He acquired his favorite instrument several years ago, and previously the guitar was owned by the lead singer of the White Eagle group, Alexander Yagye.
The presenter is critical of his work, so he will not soon decide to release his album. In 2014, his musical group presented listeners with a video for the song “Happy New Year, people!”, which he wrote himself. Celebrities such as Vladimir Levkin, Timofey Pronkin, Maxim Sharafutdinov, Olga Ushakova, as well as the presenter’s daughter took part in this video.
Roman has his own idols - these are such cult musicians as Joe Satriani, Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Steve Vai. The music captured the screen star so much that he even named his cat Blues.

Roman Budnikov: personal life and biography

Even while Roman was a musician, at one of the performances of the group he was part of, he met Galina. She became his first wife. The young people got married in 1999, and after that the future famous presenter and his young wife moved to the capital. Galina also studied music, so they worked together.

The couple also had to perform in restaurants, but there was still no success. There was even a time when the couple thought about leaving Russia, hoping that their creative career would develop more successfully in Israel.

This union gave birth to a daughter, Alexandra, with whom the famous TV presenter tries to see every weekend. She followed in the footsteps of her parents and is currently very passionate about music. Playing the flute, she has already won several prizes in various music competitions. Roman always tries to help his daughter and is proud of her achievements.

There was also a second marriage in the life of the famous TV presenter of the “Hacienda” program, but it also turned out to be unsuccessful. He has no children in this marriage. And today Roman Budnikov declares himself as a bachelor who is again ready for a new relationship.

Failed marriages

The TV star does not hide the fact that his two marriages broke up. The first family appeared in his personal life back in the 90s. Together with his wife, he left to conquer Moscow, and then the couple had a daughter, Alexandra. After divorcing his first wife, Budnikov communicates with his daughter whenever possible, finding time to relax and travel to music festivals. Together they visited Hungary, Austria, the Netherlands, and France. The daughter shared her passion for music with her star dad: she studied flute at a music school, composes songs and is already performing on stage. The ex-wife remarried and gave birth to a daughter, Sonya, whom Sasha adores. The TV presenter has maintained a friendly and warm relationship with his daughter’s mother, which is very important for him.

The TV presenter’s second wife was web designer Ekaterina, whose marriage lasted about four years. This union also broke up, but Roman periodically communicates with Katya, remaining her close friend. He never abandoned the women he loved and built new relationships, being already free. Periods of loneliness do not bother him, and Budnikov takes them for granted. His symbol of home comfort is the legendary guitar – a black Gibson, which he treats with great care.

Because of the morning broadcasts, the TV presenter often did not get enough sleep, but now he has learned to doze off on the way to work. He likes to spend time at the dacha, which he built several years ago. Roman is a very positive and sociable person. He likes to go through life easily and cheerfully, trying not to burden others with his problems and difficulties.

Television career

One of Roman’s acquaintances worked as a presenter on the Stolitsa TV channel and once invited Budnikov to appear in one of the programs. Roman liked the atmosphere in the studio “on the other side of the screen” so much that he was inspired by the idea of working in this industry.

After some time, he himself came to the management of the TV channel and proposed creating his own small author’s section in the “Everyday Life of the Capital” program. This is how the first program with him as a presenter was born, which was called “5 minutes of positivity with Roman Budnikov.”

"Night Youth Channel";
"Confidence";
"VKT";
"Ren-TV".

Roman Budnikov is a TV presenter who has been running the country's main lottery, Gosloto, for more than a year. 5 out of 36."

"Good morning"

One day, Channel One began discussing unexpected news: it turned out that Boris Shcherbakov, who hosted the Good Morning program for several years, had been fired without any explanation. While Shcherbakov was trying to understand something, his program had a new presenter - Roman Budnikov.

“Whose relative and how did he even get here?” — this question was most often heard on the sidelines after the news was announced. Initially, the idea of the presence of obvious matchmaking and cronyism was voiced by Shcherbakov himself, who simply did not know how else could explain his sudden dismissal after so many years of successful work. Channel employees and TV viewers quickly picked up this option, since Roman Budnikov is a presenter whose career has already included a similar story. He began hosting the “Fazenda” program after the same lightning dismissal of Sergei Kolesnikov without explanation.

Yelling and putting you in a corner is a big mistake

I am proud of my daughter's success at school. She is an excellent student and gets upset with every B grade, which is good news. I don’t help with homework, Sasha is an independent girl. And the curriculum for modern schoolchildren is different from the one I studied with. I can't call myself a strict parent. Rather demanding, but fair. Yelling and putting him in a corner is a big mistake. It causes nothing but resentment. As someone who lived in a corner as a child, I can testify. But Sasha also sometimes educates me. He lectures me that I will never quit smoking completely.

At first I spoiled Sasha a lot. I bought her everything at once, took her wherever she asked. I had the syndrome of a grandmother who sees her granddaughter once a year. I caught myself doing this and began to slow down a little so as not to spoil the child. Now I still arrange surprises for my daughter. But with meaning. And I myself take an active part in this.

Despite our constant communication, I am still a Sunday dad. And I’m dissatisfied with myself, I say this sincerely. I would like to devote much more time and attention. But she has her own active life (school, music, friends), and I have a busy schedule. Nevertheless, we manage to be together, and it's great.

Despite the divorces, I can’t say that I’m not made for marriage. When a man says that he is a loner in life, this is complete nonsense. People shouldn't be alone. But I just haven’t met the one yet. And I take this philosophically. I am in companies where there are a lot of beautiful and smart girls. Sometimes I get carried away with someone, but nothing serious yet. My woman should be wise, sincere and understanding. Know how to take care of my cat. He's a weird guy. But seriously, it doesn’t matter how economical it is. I won’t stand over it and control it so that the porridge turns out without lumps, and the pancakes are fried the way I like them. A woman should be a friend. I like people who are enthusiastic, have a sparkle in their eyes and are ready for adventure. And I will try to make our life happy.

TV viewers have long noted the professionalism and creative approach of Roman Budnikov, who is familiar to them from various programs. Despite the fact that he did not study the skill of a TV presenter, the desire for success and hard work helped Roman get into the ranks of Channel One employees.

His creative biography also includes a serious passion for music: for several years Budnikov has been the leader of the NeBudni group, which has become no less important for him.

Roman Budnikov accused of violence: protection of participants in the process by government agencies

To the great joy of the TV presenter, Anastasia’s words were not confirmed. Only her appeal to official bodies was constantly transferred from department to department. Afterwards they completely refused to initiate criminal proceedings with the wording “for lack of corpus delicti.”

In the girl’s opinion, this was not enough and she still wanted to punish the showman, so she blackmailed him and actively gave interviews to all the media.

Roman could not stay away from the active discussion of the unpleasant news, which became public domain. The TV presenter decided to get even with the blackmailer by turning to a government agency for help.

Having finished the squabbles in the press with Anastasia, he filed a lawsuit to protect his honor and dignity. He estimated his moral damage at 1 million rubles.

During the trial, and after listening to all sides of the process, the court rendered a verdict to refuse the presenter.

Roman claims that going to court was the only legal way to protect himself from the attacks of the masseuse. Clear his good name, and finally forget this ridiculous story with his fan.

The presenter believes that similar accusations against famous people should not go unpunished.

Many men, friends, as well as fans of the showman, refused to believe in such an incident. They of course supported their friend and idol. Everyone believes that such stories have been appearing more and more often in the media lately. And women glorify their name with scandals.

During all these proceedings, it turned out that Anastasia actually became a victim of a rapist. The attacker has long been detained and sentenced to six years in prison. The woman’s representatives now point out that she did not name Roman Budnikov and did not spread defamatory rumors about the TV presenter.

The lawyer states that she spoke all the information to Mestmedia about a completely different person.

Roman Budnikov accused of violence: a 44-year-old masseuse from Moscow accuses a TV presenter

Roman Budnikov, last year, had to experience all the joys and sorrows of his star status. Unexpectedly for him, Anastasia accused him of rape and beating.

According to her, during a massage, the famous showman attacked and raped a woman. Anastasia immediately contacted law enforcement agencies and accused the famous presenter.

In the text of the statement itself, the 44-year-old Muscovite testifies that Budnikov invited her exclusively for a massage, only she was subjected to violence. Such a charge was registered with the police back in August 2020. It accused Roman of a criminal offense.

Personal life and hobbies of a talented person

After the first divorce, he was married, but the second marriage also ended in divorce. Roman has no children with his second wife. Now he positions himself as a bachelor and declares that he is ready for a new relationship.

Childhood: Roman Budnikov was born in the city of Engels, where he spent his childhood - completely ordinary, with school, games in the yard and simple boyish hobbies. But at the age of 16, a significant turn occurred in Roman’s life - he fell in love with the guitar. This hobby permeated the entire life of young Budnikov, defining his goals and social circle for a long time. Roman managed to graduate from a music school in his hometown as an external student in just two years, and immediately after that he became a guitarist in the rock band Noah’s Ark. The young musician remained in Engels for some time, but soon realized that the capital was irresistibly calling him.

Study: Musician by training. “I went directly to the course with the director of our music school in Engels, Yuri Trofimov. And he is a professional jazzman. And he put a lot of effort into making jazz live in Saratov and the Saratov region. At that time, a whole series of jazz festivals took place in the Saratov region. But I came to his music school already as a musician, we had a rock band. True, I knew only three chords and “sawed” them with pleasure. Therefore, I studied according to a shortened, accelerated program. But I got what I needed."

Career: In Moscow, a new unexpected turn of fate awaited the talented guitarist - work on television. This happened completely by accident - a good friend once invited Roman to take part in the filming of a program, and Budnikov was “noticed” there. The first platform for him to realize his talents as a presenter was the channel “Capital”, where Roman hosted a small section in the program “Everyday Life of the Capital”. Then work appeared on the “Night Youth” channel, then “Trust”, “VKT”, REN-TV and, finally, Channel One.

In 2012, Roman Budnikov became the new host of a popular TV show about the renovation of the “Fazenda” dacha. Having replaced his predecessor in this post, he quickly gained the sympathy of the audience and became an integral part of the program. In the spring of 2014, Roman became the host of Channel One’s first program, “Good Morning.” And in the summer of the same year, he began co-hosting the daily program “Good Day” together with Larisa Verbitskaya.

Currently: Russian TV presenter, showman, musician. As a presenter and compere, Roman has held a huge number of different events and is loved by many agencies and clients primarily for his intelligence and ease of communication and work, elegant humor on stage and absolute calm in all situations...
