The talented actress Victoria Tolstoganova managed to find the right balance between career and personal life. She works a lot in cinema and theater, while managing to pay attention to her husband and three children. Victoria gave birth to two older heirs in her first marriage with her colleague Andrei Kuzichev. The acting family union lasted 14 years. After parting with her husband, Tolstoganova met a new love - theatrical director Alexei Agranovich, to whom she gave her son Ivan.
Student love
Victoria grew up in a large Moscow family, she has three younger sisters. From elementary school, she attended a theater studio, so by the graduation class she had already firmly decided to connect her life with the acting profession. However, only in the third year the girl finally smiled with luck, and she became a student of GITIS. Victoria studied on the course with the famous teacher and director Leonid Kheifets.
In her student years, Tolstoganova met her future husband Andrei Kuzichev. They were fellow students. The actress shared in an interview that he conquered her not with beautiful gestures or courtship, but with ordinary apples brought from her parent's dacha. In fact, the kind and generous Andrei treated several of his classmates with dacha gifts, but only Victoria appreciated his care.
Young people got married in 1996. The wedding was very modest, since yesterday's students simply had no money. It's funny that Andrei notified his parents about the upcoming marriage registration only the day before, leaving a note in their apartment while the older generation was at their dacha. After a quiet painting in the registry office, the newlyweds celebrated an important event in the company of friends.
To be in time for everything
Victoria was in no hurry with the birth of children, aiming, first of all, at a career. Unlike her husband, devoid of professional ambitions, the actress went step by step to success and fame. According to Tolstoganova, she and Andrei have always been very different. Her explosive and temperamental nature was balanced by her husband's calm and restrained behavior. In addition, Kuzichev turned out to be an exemplary family man who adores his wife and never gave her reasons for jealousy. Of course, Tolstoganova cherished her husband, and this marriage seemed surprisingly strong for many years.
Even in her student days, the actress played on the stage of the Moscow Stanislavsky Theater. Her theatrical destiny was associated with this theater until the mid-2000s. Tolstoganova began her journey to the big screen in 1997, playing the main role in the short film "Duty of the Day". Then there were several notable works in films and TV shows. The actress jokingly told how the number of her fans is growing with the growing popularity. According to rumors, Maxim Averin, Gosha Kutsenko, Yegor Konchalovsky tried to look after the charming blonde during the joint filming. But for her there were no other men except her beloved husband.
In 2005, Victoria gave her husband a daughter, Varvara, and three years later, a son, Fyodor. Her second pregnancy coincided with the filming of the film Burnt by the Sun 2: Anticipation, where Tolstoganova got the role of Nikita Mikhalkov's on-screen wife. Working with the master of Russian cinema can be called, without exaggeration, the actress's finest hour. According to rumors, it was during this period, when Tolstoganova was trying her best to pay equal attention to family and work, that her husband unexpectedly demanded that her beloved profession be pushed into the background.
They say that upset Victoria shared her family problems with Mikhalkov, and he advised her to reconsider her priorities. From that moment on, according to her inner circle, she seemed to stop holding on to her husband and try with all her might to save the family.
Love affair at work
Soon Tolstoganova met the theater director Alexei Agranovich. They met at a rehearsal of the play "The Stone Guest". An interesting, free, talented man somehow imperceptibly won the heart of the actress. Alexey grew up in a creative Moscow family. His father Mikhail Agranovich became famous as a director of photography. He shot pictures for Mikhail Schweitzer and Gleb Panfilov, and in 2000, together with Oleg Yankovsky, presented his own directorial work - the comedy Come See Me.
The romantic relationship between Victoria and Alexei remained a secret for a long time. After all, the actress began to meet with the director, while remaining married to Kuzichev. When it became known about her third pregnancy and the birth of her son Ivan in May 2011, many began to congratulate Tolstoganova's legal husband on the joyful event. However, the real father of the boy was Agranovich. They say that Alexei's parents at first did not approve of his affair with a married woman with two children. However, the director's daughter Varvara was also growing up from past relationships.
All the participants in the love triangle never commented on that delicate situation. Even the deceived husband Andrei Kuzichev avoided questions on this topic. Over time, when passions and discussions subsided, Victoria began to appear in the company of a new lover. She often accompanies Alexei at the Kinotavr and End of the World festivals, where her chosen one acts as a stage director. However, the couple is in no hurry to register their relationship officially. Tolstoganova's career has been going uphill recently. She played in the acclaimed TV series The Executioner and the highest-grossing Russian film Moving Up. It seems that a truly bright and happy time has come in the life of the actress.
