Last fall, the old grandmother of the famous actor came to Moscow. She was facing major surgery. It was during this period that MAKAROV introduced his beloved granny to his new chosen one - actress Victoria BOGATYREVA.
Olga Panteleevna returned home to Omsk in December 2009. The operation, thank God, was successful. And a few months later, the phone rang in her apartment, and she heard the news that, like it or not, you will immediately forget about all the sores - her beloved grandson became a father.
“Olga Panteleevna, please accept congratulations on the birth of your great-granddaughter, ” I said, calling Omsk.
- Thanks a lot.

— I’ve gained a little weight. An old man, there is little good, but we endure, we move, we begin to go for walks. You see how it happened - I left Moscow in December, and Vika gave birth in February. As soon as Lesha told me this news, I, of course, congratulated him.

Personal life of Victoria Bogatyreva
According to the actress, she became a successful model completely by accident. Vika recalled that this work is not as simple as many people think. In addition, in some cases the model's life is endangered. Bogatyreva said that she spent most of her fees on taxi rides, since fashion shows and parties in clubs ended quite late, and there were always people who wanted to pester and even openly harass beautiful girls.
The future actress was lucky. The personal life of Victoria Bogatyreva, when she was a model, passed without any incidents. She later admitted that she never liked social gatherings and felt “out of place” at such events. Bogatyreva was always a cautious girl and tried to avoid all dangerous situations. In addition, Victoria did not have relationships with other models, whom she considered stupid and uninteresting people.
Victoria Bogatyreva and Alexey Makarov
During the filming of the melodramatic film “First Attempt,” Bogatyreva met her colleague in the acting workshop, Alexei Makarov. The mother of this attractive-looking man was the Russian film and television star Lyubov Polishchuk. On the eve of filming “First Attempt,” Victoria ended her relationship with her ex-boyfriend and had no plans to start a new romance. But Makarov was a persistent gentleman. He took the beauty to restaurants, wrote her romantic letters and gave her expensive gifts. As a result, Vika gave up.

A little time passed and Alexey introduced his beloved to relatives and friends as a bride, but the wedding of this couple never took place. Victoria Bogatyreva and Alexey Makarov preferred a civil marriage. In 2010, the couple had a daughter, who was named Varvara. A year later, Vika broke up with Alexei on her own initiative.
The common-law husband of Victoria Bogatyreva, after breaking up with her, married the famous Russian actress Maria Mironova, and later divorced.
Makarov and Mironova
Vika says that Makarov has a very complex character, which is not suitable for a normal family life. He has an authoritarian manner with his lovers.
For a long time he wanted to legitimize his relationship with Bogatyreva, but she resisted this, which made Alexey very angry. Moreover, in all his interviews that the actor gave during his civil marriage with Victoria, he called her his wife.
Bogatyreva witnessed stormy scenes associated with the jealousy of her common-law husband. At such moments, Alexey flew into a rage and destroyed everything in his path.
In addition, Victoria told the press that Makarov’s behavior was related to his own upbringing and unsettled childhood. He rarely saw his mother, and in his family he imagined his wife exclusively as a housewife. Alexey believed that a woman’s main task was to raise children and did not want to hear about the development of Bogatyreva’s acting career. Victoria was not completely happy with this.
From time to time, information appeared in the press that this couple was back together, but there was no confirmation from Bogatyreva and Makarov on this matter. In 2012, during a conversation with journalists, Victoria said that she did not consider her former relationship with Lyubov Polishchuk’s son to be family.

The third official wife of Makarov was actress Maria Mironova. She herself does not confirm the information about this marriage, but Alexey showed a stamp in his passport about the registration of the relationship on November 1, 2011.

The couple starred together in The Three Musketeers, but this film became fatal for them. Immediately after filming ended, in July 2013, Masha and Alexey divorced. Being too jealous, Makarov did not forgive his wife for the explicit scenes in the film.
Daughter of Victoria and Alexey
In 2020, the little daughter of the heroine of our story came out on the set for the first time in her life. This happened on May 21st. Interestingly, it was on this day many years ago that Varvara’s grandmother, the famous actress Lyubov Polishchuk, was born. The girl's mother posted a photo of her daughter from the set on her Instagram page.

According to the actress, Varvara has acting skills and apparently this was genetically passed on to her from her ancestors. Thus, the acting dynasty will most likely continue. Bogatyreva’s daughter starred in a short episode. She tried very hard, followed all the director’s instructions and was obedient. After photos from Varvara’s movie shoot appeared on her mother’s Instagram, warm comments appeared in which fans of the actress’s talent hope that the girl and Victoria Bogatyreva’s future children will follow in her footsteps.
