Poisoning
In an interview with the founder of the online publication GORDON, Dmitry Gordon, Bilozir told how she poisoned herself in July 2005 at a diplomatic reception in Kyiv, which took place in the courtyard of the National Philharmonic of Ukraine.
“There are two people in green suits. Green men. 2005. Without any identification marks, just in a green uniform, which later entered Crimea in 2014, they came to me. The Deputy Minister for European Integration was also with me. They came up and said: “We want to offer you champagne, otherwise you’re standing here like that…” But I don’t drink,” she said.
According to the ex-politician, she drank two sips of the “cloudy” champagne-colored champagne that was brought to her.
“It saved me. Because if I had drunk at least half of it, I definitely wouldn’t have made it home. Somewhere on the second day I started having terrible pain: first a headache, and then there was inflammation of the spinal cord,” Bilozir recalled. “I was alone in the apartment, and I rocked on the ground for 12 days, because it was like a toothache. When you move, then… And as soon as you lie down, it starts to twist and wind. the nerve poison that was there. I was rocking, just waddling around, because as soon as the pain became unbearable, I was forced to rock. I didn’t sleep for 12 days, an ambulance came to me and injected me with a blockade, because I thought it was my back.”
Then, as the artist said, she was taken under guard to the apartment of the then President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko in Feofaniya.
“I was quietly dying, I froze. My face stopped moving, I became like a porcelain doll. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t speak, I fiddled with my hands to say a few words to the children on the phone, then I stopped speaking completely,” she emphasized.
Bilozir believes that a half-hour conversation with God, from whom she asked for life and suddenly began to rapidly recover, helped her get out of her difficult condition.
“I started eating, I started learning to speak, and very quickly,” she said. “I spent a year in Feofaniya, but I was paralyzed for several months. After that, I had paralysis of the hip joints. Then I walked for another year like a duck. My legs didn’t bend, I couldn’t sit, I could only stand and lie.”
After some time, Bilozir asked to close the criminal case, because she “forgave everyone.”
“I know who did this, I somehow received information. [Я не могу сказать, кто это сделал]I want to live. I’m alone, I don’t have security,” the former minister stunned the interviewer.
She believes that the reason for the poisoning was that her authority as a politician began to rapidly grow and she became “inconvenient” to the political elite.
Was on the Russians' hit list
Bilozir was one of those Ukrainian artists who were put on the hit lists of the Russian occupiers who carried out a full-scale invasion of sovereign Ukraine in February 2024.
“They called me back at 10 a.m. on the 24th, telling me to urgently leave Kyiv,” said Bilozir.
The singer did not specify who exactly spoke to her and whether she listened to the advice.
“You were in [расстрельном] list?” the journalist asked the artist.
“I don’t think I disappeared from it,” Bilozir answered.
What is known about execution lists
The current military-political leadership of the aggressor country, Russia, purposefully prepared for the genocide of Ukrainians long before the start of a full-scale invasion. The then head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, spoke about this in November 2024, speaking at the forum “Genocidal practices of the Russian Federation in Ukraine: from the Holodomor to the Russian-Ukrainian war.”
He said that before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian occupiers were given instructions on the location of collective graves. They also compiled hit lists, which were to include teachers of the Ukrainian language, literature, history, ATO veterans, journalists, scientists, writers, priests of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and other denominations that supported Ukraine, public and political figures, heads of state authorities and self-government.
“We saw horrific mass crimes against Ukrainian citizens, the facts of which became known to the whole world. The atrocities of units of the Russian Armed Forces in Borodyanka, Bucha, Gostomel, Izyum, Mariupol and many other settlements of Ukraine showed that these identical and synchronous actions were based on clear doctrinal provisions of the Russian genocidal policy of the authorities and military leadership,” Budanov concluded.
Left my husband
In the spring of 2023, Bilozir’s second husband, ex-director of the Ukraine Palace, and now a military man, Roman Nedzelsky, shocked Ukrainian show business with the news that his wife had left him. They lived together for 33 years.
According to the then 55-year-old Nedzelsky, he learned that his 65-year-old wife had filed for divorce after receiving a “subpoena.”
“It was all banal. I received a summons to court and we were divorced. Since I was in the army, I could not come to the court hearing, so I was absent three times. We were automatically divorced,” said Nedzelsky. “I was against it. Today we are no longer officially husband and wife.”
The artist’s ex-husband admitted that “everything was fine with them last year,” but now they don’t communicate.
Bilozir, in an interview with the founder of the online publication “GORDON” Dmitry Gordon in December 2025, said that Nedzelsky did nothing to prevent their divorce.
“I worked for our family, and he lived separately. I defended the rear. The whole family was with me. My mother was with me, our common son was with me, we lived together,” the singer said. “He simply lived his comfortable life. And here I am a family, only without him. And it was hard for me. And when I turned to him and said: “Roman, it’s hard for me. “I need your help with one of the questions,” he said he couldn’t help.”
The singer noted that in that situation he was obliged to provide her with support as a husband and head of the family.
“And at that moment I realized that he didn’t love me. And it’s hard for me, in years like mine now, to live with a person who doesn’t love me. When we lived together, I told him: “I’m putting it off for the time being, but the moment will come when you’ll put it off. Because you are younger, you will have more power. And I’m counting on you at this moment.” And at that moment, when the time came, I couldn’t count on him. He told me that he couldn’t do this for me,” the artist described the situation.
Bilozir admitted that after this she realized that she must continue to take care of herself. She noted that at that time she no longer loved her husband.
