She gave birth to Makarova's daughter, but never became his wife: Victoria Bogatyreva's female happiness
Victoria Bogatyreva was born in Tbilisi in 1979, her grandfather moved there immediately after the end of the Great Patriotic War. Since the girl's father was a military man, the family often changed their place of residence, which Vika and her younger brother did not like. When she was already in high school, her parents finally moved to Moscow.
Victoria didn't even think about an acting career. After school, she entered a pedagogical college and began working as a model. The girl's characteristics quickly attracted the attention of several agencies and advertisers, and she was offered a job. And eventually, she posed for the legendary men's magazine Playboy.
At 18, she was invited to play the role of one of the maids in the comedy "The Bremen Town Musicians and Company." They needed a beautiful girl. But Bogatyreva thought about an acting career and decided to combine work and enroll in VGIK, where she immediately went to Emmanuil Vitorgan's courses.
I hope I will not disappoint him and one day he will be proud of me. Mikhail Pugovkin was very touching and courted me and all the actresses who played the roles of ladies-in-waiting. Alexander Gavrilovich (Abdulov) was a colossus, a hurricane and a powerful actor. I have many happy memories. "Each of them was my teacher at a certain time, so they are all precious," Victoria said.
After studying for five years, I received my diploma and tried to get a job in a theater troupe, but there were no vacancies, so I began to regularly attend auditions.
Despite the fact that everything was going well with the modeling business, Victoria decided to achieve her goal and become an actress. She started with small roles, for example, in the medical drama "Medical Secret" and the detective "Karom".
Her first big success came when she played the role of Anna Polyanskaya in the melodrama "The Former", in which she participated together with actress Olga Fadeeva.
Then he starred in the comedy "Amur" with Alexander Nikitin. In 2012, Victoria got one of the roles in the series "Masha in Law". Her character, lawyer Nina Orlova, became the antipode of the main character Maria Pirogova (this image was embodied by Irina Pegova).
In 2018, he appeared in the crime drama "Line of Fire". And she starred in the detective novel "Cuba". Personal problems with Alexey Makarov" (despite the fact that the media wrote about their main quarrel after the affair). The actress played the main role, and Victoria played the role of surgeon Evgenia. Soon they met on the set of the spy action movie "Smersh", where Victoria had a cameo, and Makarov brought their common daughter to the project.
In 2021, Victoria appeared in the resonant project "Chikatilo". The film caused a lot of discussion in society, because the plot centered on the real maniac Andrei Chikatilo, who terrorized people for many years. While some viewers criticized the idea of the project, others noted that it was released on a streaming platform, where viewers themselves will decide whether to watch it or not.
In 2022, he appeared in the comedy series Restaurant by Concept, and then appeared in the new season of Chikatilo.
After participating in the series, Victoria Bogatyreva had the opportunity to play a completely opposite character - an assistant to the head of an agency providing escort services. The actress gained this new experience in the series "Life on Call". In an interview, Victoria noted that the pragmatism, rigidity and cynicism of her heroine were very different from her own character, and she became interested in such complex images and plunged headlong into the work.
Victoria has always been actively courted by men. In the modeling business, she often met rich suitors from the world of business, the film industry and politicians. But Alexey Makarov, the son of the famous actress Lyubov Polischuk, was able to win her heart.
They met while appearing together in the melodrama "First Attempt." She didn't particularly want a new relationship, since she had just broken up with another man, but Alexey persistently got his way. The courtship, romantic gifts, and meetings lasted for almost six months. In the end, Victoria couldn't take it anymore.
As Bogatyreva later admitted, Makarov immediately played his "trump card" and spoke about his desire to create a strong and real family. At first, she liked it, but later she got tired of this "show-off". Alexey also had a problem with alcohol, which negatively affected their relationship.
Although there was no wedding between them, everyone considered them husband and wife. The couple lived in a civil marriage, in 2010 they had a daughter. The problem is that by that time their relationship had already broken up, but he decided to try everything again for the sake of the girl. Victoria received a marriage proposal, but she was unable to save the family.
Alexey did not disappear from the life of Victoria and her daughter, but helped them. However, he was unable to be with his mother, and the couple broke up when the heiress was one year old. Victoria said that he was a good father, but as a chosen one, he did not keep his word. Makarov is authoritarian and a dictator, and even if he calls her his wife, he never officially takes her to the registry office.
At the same time, they had problems of various natures. Bogatyreva spoke about Alexey's jealousy. His emotional outbursts were accompanied by damage to objects. She believed that the actor was not used to routine family life and preferred more active activities.
According to Victoria, Makarov's only significant contribution to his daughter's upbringing was teaching Varvara to skate. From time to time, he often criticized the girl, pointing out her appearance and comparing her to her grandmother Lyubov Polischuk. Once during filming, when a distraught Varvara began to cry, Bogatyreva doubted whether her daughter would want to follow in her parents' footsteps.
In 2019, Victoria appeared on the show "Stars Aligned" and said that Makarov had disappeared from their lives. Alexey stopped contacting her and, according to Victoria, did not contact her and did not help pay for housing. Later, he began to deny this information and blamed the media for the situation, which, according to him, exaggerated everything.
Victoria is not against communication between father and daughter now, but she believes that her former chosen one does not want any contact at all.
It was only in 2022 that it became known that Victoria Bogatyreva had married for the second time. In an interview, she admitted that she had already been to the registry office and had even been married. She did not reveal the name of her chosen one, but noted that her partner has nothing to do with the film industry, but is a creative person. The press named Victoria's second husband Vladimir Melnikov.
The actress continues to be active. In 2023, the mini-series "Black Mirror" was released. In addition to Victoria, the main roles were played by Maria Matsel, Philipp Yankovsky and Maryana Spivak.
She was also interviewed about the difficulties of raising her 13-year-old daughter Varvara.
Hard times and a capricious character force the girl to constantly create scandals and try to seem more mature than she is.
