Tatsiana Yanovna Zelianko was born on 30 October 1980 in Brest, Belarus, as the first child of officer and military flight engineer Yan Valentinovitch and primary school teacher Lioudmila Nikola\u00efevna, into a family with Polish and Ukrainian roots on her father’s side and Russian roots on her mother’s side. She had a brother, Nicolai, who was nine years younger but who died in an accident in 2022. At the age of three, in 1983, Tatsiana moved with her parents to Libya in North Africa, where the family lived in Tripoli in a closed Soviet community, largely isolated from the local population. She went to a Russian school, to kindergarten there and was taught by her own mother, who, as a trained musician and dancer, placed particular emphasis on singing and dancing lessons and also taught the schoolchildren Russian folk songs. The community had a large music and cultural hall, where Tatsiana Zelianko gained early stage experience. She regularly performed as a soloist on the large stage at three or four concerts each year and sang Russian songs accompanied by records. There was no cultural exchange with Libyan musicians and artists, but her mother spoke Arabic and also translated Arabic texts. Tatsiana Zelianko describes her time in Tripoli as one of the happiest in her life, despite the political unrest: she remembers many days spent at the beach together with the children of the community, trips to the Sahara desert with her father or mother, but also the bombings in the armed conflict between Libya and the USA, during which the community sought shelter in the bunkers designated for this purpose in their residences.
