At school the exact sciences, in particular mathematics, were her favorite subjects. Upon termination of secondary school, Kovulchuk intended to enroll in the Leningrad Polytechnical Institute toward a career in cybernetics.
During her theatrical studies, Kovulchuk got acquainted with her future first husband, Anatoly Ilchenko. While still a student, Kovulchuk became involved in a theatre troupe called Lensoveta where director Gennady Trostjanetsky was searching for an actress to play the young heroine for his production of «Imaginary Patient» based on Molière's comedy Le Malade imaginaire . The premiere of her performance took place almost at once after Kovulchuk received her diploma, and almost simultaneously with her wedding.
