Childhood
Victoria Klinkova was born into an ordinary Moscow family on December 6, 1994. Vika always knew that she would certainly become a star. Classmates and teachers loved her for her cheerful disposition and sincerity. Since childhood, Vika loved to try on the images of heroines of Soviet cinema, and the girl’s main idol was Lyudmila Gurchenko. According to the actress, it didn’t matter to her whether she would become a model, or an actress, or even a singer, the main thing was that her life would be connected with creativity.
Victoria Klinkova in childhood
Mom always tried to teach her daughter to be independent. As a result, already at the age of 13, the girl could, without asking anyone, go to see friends in another city and walk until late. But such trust on the part of her parents was justified - despite the lack of control, Vika studied well and always achieved her goals.
Since high school, Vika studied in a modeling studio, but the girl’s height was only 158 centimeters (even at school she was called Gnome), so she did not have to count on a career as a professional model, however, over the years of study she learned effective plastic arts and revealed her “working side.” "and learned other useful tricks that have come in handy more than once in her acting profession.

In 2011, Victoria passed the casting and received a role in the Disney Russia project, in the Russian adaptation of the Italian sitcom “Quelli dell`intervallo”, where she played the school star, the beautiful but stupid Vika, and she was accompanied by Nikolai Bystrov, Dmitry Alexandrov, Taisiya Vilkova, Galina Pichugina and Vasily Raksha. At every break, the guys got together and invariably found themselves in funny situations.
It cannot be said that the audience praised the acting of 16-year-old Victoria, but her unnaturalness on the screen was explained by a lack of experience. Feeling at home on the set, Victoria became convinced that she wanted to become an actress. After school, she entered the Slavic Institute (which she graduated in 2020) and immediately received an invitation to the series, which became the beginning of her brilliant film career.

How does her new role differ from previous ones? Where did your love for oriental dance come from? And what does Victoria want to do first when she arrives in Azerbaijan? Read the answers to these and other questions in the interview with the actress “Moscow-Baku”
.
— Victoria, what attracted you to the character of your heroine in “Deception”?
“I wouldn’t say that I liked him.” She is the kind of woman who is willing to do anything to get something. What could possibly be attractive here? But I really like to play heroines who are as different from me as possible. Since early childhood I have loved to try on different images. The main thing is that the character is interesting!
— How are you preparing for a new role? What do you pay attention to first?
— The very first thing I look at is the name of the heroine. It makes me, as they say, “dance.” And, you know, always an accurate hit! My heroine's name is Olesya. I've met Olesyas just like mine in the series. Then I start thinking about character development, imagining how she walks, how she speaks - slowly or quickly. How he interacts with other characters, parents... Building an image is a whole job.
— Do you observe how different women behave in certain situations? It helps?
- Of course, such observations help a lot. With the right approach, it looks interesting and advantageous. In “Deception” I tried to make my heroine a “person” - to find an excuse for her unseemly actions.
— You are in excellent athletic shape. Some useful tips from Victoria Klinkova - how to save it for our readers?
— I know what foods I can’t eat so as not to gain weight. My genetics in this sense are not very good - I have to restrain myself in the kitchen. I admit that I hate gyms! I do stretching at home every day – it’s a must. For the abs, I do the “plank” - the coolest way to keep a flat stomach. I also do dancing.
— Are you attracted to oriental dances?
- Yes, but how did you know? ( Laughs.
) Imagine, at the age of five I loved to perform belly dancing. I’ve been flexible since childhood, so all this was easy for me. My classmates originally from Azerbaijan taught me how to dance oriental dances.
—Have you ever been to Azerbaijan?
— I really want to go to Baku, because my relatives once lived there. I want to reveal the history of my family connected with Azerbaijan. This story is a mystery, shrouded in darkness. Either the roots are from there, or someone from the family lived there for some time. My grandfather told me that they went to Baku when my mother was little. I’ll try to find out specific names and surnames, and when I arrive in Azerbaijan, will I suddenly find someone?
"Gym teacher"
Initially, the series was conceived as a kind of benefit performance for Dmitry Nagiyev, and the rest of the actors were supposed to make up the background live scenery in which Nagiyev’s hero experiences a personal transformation, but the effect turned out to be somewhat different - all the actors complemented each other so well that the project was called the most successful the brainchild of domestic film production. The series also featured Polina Grenz, Yeralash alumnus Vladimir Sychev, Vladimir Zherebtsov and Anastasia Panina.
“Fizruk”: Victoria Klinkova as Alena
Victoria was approved for the role almost immediately. Soon the pilot episode was filmed. But a year passed after that, and the girl already began to doubt that the series would air, but fortunately, in 2014, viewers finally saw the adventures of the former bandit and his students. Alena's lover, the most handsome guy in school, was played by Arthur Sopelnik.
The beautiful appearance of the young actress and the bright but controversial role of the first beauty of the class, Alena, became the key to Victoria’s popularity. The actress demonstrated the entire range of expression of her character’s emotions available to her, appeared on camera in revealing outfits and was not at all afraid that the nickname “Navel” would stick to her, and the image of a frivolous, mercantile girl would become her role for a long time.
It is worth noting that Vika’s character is not similar to Alena. Although she always stood out for her beauty among her classmates and did not suffer from the attention of boys, she was not the “queen of the class” with the bitchiness and impenetrable self-confidence that accompany this title. In real life, the aspiring actress was simply bored with her peers, because outside of school she was surrounded by creative people and like-minded people. Victoria is not obsessed with her appearance and often goes without makeup outside of the set. So Alena is a collective image.
Victoria was a regular actress in three seasons of the project and during this time she played several supporting roles in other serial television films: “The Green Carriage”, “Anna the Detective”, “Champions: Faster, Higher, Stronger”, etc.

The comedy was shown on television for two years and gave the girl her first recognition, but real popularity came to Victoria in 2014, when the first season of another comedy series, “Fizruk” with Dmitry Nagiyev in the title role, began airing.
Victoria herself played there the fashionable high school student Alena Lazukova, nicknamed “Navel.” The actress had to transform into a character completely out of character for Vika - a mercantile and frivolous doll girl who is only interested in money.
In addition to three seasons of Fizruk, Klinkova starred in the short film Happiness for Everyone, the psychological drama The Green Carriage, and the comedy It’s Always Sunny in Moscow.

In the wake of the popularity of the new image, Victoria Klinkova accepted an offer to star in an erotic photo shoot for the men's glossy magazine Maxim. Vika appeared on the pages of the magazine and on the official website almost naked: in some of the pin-up looks in which the shooting took place, the actress had her breasts bare. Thematically, the photo shoot is related to the image of a schoolgirl.
The girl was photographed with a hairstyle with two ponytails, in bright underwear with floral patterns, multi-colored socks - together these elements created a feeling of scandalousness of the young girl. The actress’s parameters also played a certain role here: Victoria Klinkova has a fragile figure and a height of 160 cm, which makes the actress even more like a teenage girl.
