In a recent sit-down on the Zvzedach Telegram channel, TV presenter Evelina Bledans drew attention to a new women’s club started by blogger Maria Pogrebnyak. Their discussion touched on a project they had previously covered on the program New Stars in Africa, where these figures often intersect with celebrity culture and social impact campaigns.
During the chat, Bledans floated the idea that the club might be titled Silicon Club. She suggested Pogrebnyak could have left because of a behind‑the‑scenes disagreement, adding that there could be an opportunity to monetize the venture. Yet Bledans emphasized that she has her own mission in mind, signaling a personal commitment to a broader purpose beyond rivalry in the media spotlight.
Bledans also spoke about the possibility that Pogrebnyak’s club might contribute to a cause she supports—a project aimed at assisting people with Down syndrome. The presenter joked about starting a women’s club of her own upon returning from a tour, hinting at competition, collaboration, and new platforms for social engagement that are common in today’s celebrity ecosystem.
In the course of the conversation, Bledans described her plan to fund an inclusive show and hinted that her return from the tour could coincide with the launch of a women’s club. The remarks underscored a broader trend in which public figures balance entertainment careers with charitable and social initiatives, all while maintaining a candid tone that resonates with followers across North America.
The dialogue soon shifted into a public disagreement between Pogrebnyak and Bledans. The exchange included a lighthearted jab at Pogrebnyak’s interest in cosmetic procedures, with Bledans styling Pogrebnyak as sharing a similar aesthetic through a playful nickname. The moment reflected how media personalities often frame conversations about appearance, influence, and personal branding, sometimes spilling into informal rankings or lists within show business culture.
Earlier remarks from Bledans framed Pogrebnyak as someone who had leaned into a victim narrative during their Africa-themed feature on the show, Stars in Africa. The comments drew attention to how public personalities navigate perception, accountability, and the pressure of portraying certain roles in high‑visibility programs.
