Nikolai Tishchenko in childhood
Nikolay is a native of Kiev. He was born on May 17, 1972 in full family- mother Zhanna, father Nikolai and sister Julia.

Nikolai always talks about his family with pleasure - after all family history he knows at least up to the third generation.
By paternal line All of them are long-livers; 90 years is not the limit for them. I even found great-grandmother Ulyana and great-grandfather Mitrofan. They were afraid to tell where they were from, and only later did I find out that they were dispossessed and they came to Kyiv from Kuban,” Tishchenko shares in an interview.
The maternal line is no less interesting, because it contains a significant share of Polish blood: Nikolai’s grandfather, Tadeusz Tarnawsky, was a visiting Pole. In Kyiv, he worked as a photographer, traveled a lot and took care of his grandson since childhood.
In childhood and adolescence, my mother often said that I looked like her father, Tadeusz Tarnawski. I have his build, his figure, says Nikolai.
father of Nikolai Tishchenko
No less interesting is the story of how the parents met, which Nikolai once shared with his fans. Here's what he said:
Dad was then 22 years old, he worked in a service center, where he was jokingly nicknamed the Minister because of his demanding nature. Father heard that there was a new girl in the team beautiful girl, and decided to meet her: he went to her photo studio, and at that moment she locked herself in the room to develop the film.
He knocks, introduces himself as the Minister of Household Services, and my mother, out of fear and inexperience, opens the door, although according to all the rules this is prohibited during development. Naturally, I ruined the film...
She was only 17 years old. The next day, dad invited mom to the park and to a cafe for ice cream, and after 4 days they submitted an application to the registry office.
Even as a child, the future restaurateur realized that he did not want to work “for his uncle” all his life. Therefore, his own business became a dream and a goal towards which Nikolai consistently moved.
Study and work. First marriage
Nikolai Tishchenko decided to get an education at the Kiev Architectural Institute, now KNUBA. In addition to a diploma in mechanical engineering, these years were marked by another title: after 3 years of judo, Nikolai received the title “Master of Sports”.
In 1998, young Nikolai Tishchenko decides to try himself in an unusual field - the restaurant business. At that time in Ukraine, the food culture was not very developed, and the establishment amazed post-Soviet space, there was only McDonald's.
Tishchenko quickly achieves unprecedented success - within a couple of years, prestigious and recognizable establishments find themselves under his patronage. In 2007, the restaurateur united them into the Nasha Karta network of companies.

By this time, Nikolai’s personal life was also settling down - he married a peer, a friend of his youth, Larisa Tishchenkovskaya.
In 2005, the first child was born - son Danil.
However, the first marriage did not last long - according to Nikolai himself, interests simply diverged, and a small age difference also got in the way:
I have never hidden the fact that I like girls, women younger than me. That's probably why my first marriage broke up. My wife and I were the same age, and at some point it seemed to me that we had simply outgrown each other and began to grow apart. Together from our youth, then we got married, this woman gave me a wonderful son, for whom I am grateful to her. But everything changes and life does not stand still.
Personal life of Nikolai Tishchenko

Why the marriage broke up is not known for certain. Rumor has it that the reason could be adultery. Which Nikolai himself, by the way, never denied.
In one interview he admitted:
I can’t say that there haven’t been such situations in my life. It's no secret that I live a bright and rich life, so anything could happen. Reasons why we men cheat to a loved one, very different. Let's not forget that a man is a hunter by nature. This is in our nature. So yourself genetic code. We are polygamous, and we need to come to terms with this. Why did I cheat? Relationships, love are harmony. Harmony in everything. Starting from joint communication to different topics and ending with passionate sex. Love is when both feel incredibly good. I lacked the range of sensations.
Nikolai with his wife Alla and son David
After the fiasco of his second marriage, Tishchenko devoted himself to his career and his son Danila. But the status of a bachelor, according to Nikolai, always weighed on him.
“I felt comfortable in my marriage. I don't like being on my own at all. I'm for family values! I just like young women, but they themselves don’t yet understand what they want. If in my first marriage with my wife we grew up together, then in the second marriage we were simply different people. I'm sure mine following relations they will be very happy,” he admitted in an interview.
And in 2016, fans learned that Tishchenko was ready to say “Yes” again! in front of the altar. His bride was 22-year-old student Alla Baranovskaya.
