Biography of Victoria Litvinenko-Yasinovskaya

Victoria Sergeevna Litvinenko-Yasinovskaya is a well-known Ukrainian theater and film actress. She was born on January 16, 1986, in the small town of Fastov, Kiev Oblast. At the age of five, her parents enrolled her in a ballet school. Throughout her conscious life, Victoria dreamed of becoming an actress, and her parents approved of this decision. She completed her first nine grades in her hometown of Fastov at School No. 9. In 2001, her family moved to the Ukrainian capital, and she finished her secondary education at School No. 317 in Kiev. In 2003, with her unique and extraordinary appearance, she easily gained admission to the Karpenko-Kary Theater, Cinema, and Television University. She was enrolled in L. Tanyuk's course, which she successfully completed in 2007. Since 2003, she has been working at the Center for Contemporary Art "DAKh" in Kiev.

Theatrical Career

The creator of the "DAKh" theater, Vladislav Troitsky, is one of the most successful cultural figures in modern Ukraine. His brainchild is an original platform that he calls the "Art Hotel," which was created in 1994. The repertoire includes everything from Oedipus and Sophocles to classics by N. Gogol ("The Marriage") and M. Gorky ("Vassa Zheleznova"). The emblem of this extraordinary project is no less symbolic than its name - a snail crawling towards the top of Mount Fuji. Troitsky personally directs almost all of the performances. Victoria Litvinenko, a brilliant star of the theater, is involved in all of his works, which many critics recognize as highly radical. Performances featuring her participation always play to sold-out audiences, and tickets are almost always in short supply.

Selected Works:

• "Prologue to Macbeth"
• "The Death of Gogol"
• "Coffee and Cigarettes"
• "Ukrainian Decameron"
• "King Lear. Prologue"
• "Anna"
• "Spinelessness"
• "Oedipus. Sophocles"

Roles in Film

She made her debut in a small role in the TV series "Tomorrow Will Be Tomorrow." Her first major role, which immediately brought her immense recognition from fans, was in the 100-episode melodramatic film "Only Love." In this film, she plays the main antagonist - the treacherous Albina, who will stop at nothing to win the love of a wealthy widower architect.

Was it easy to get the role and work on such a long-term project? According to the actress, the filming started off difficult for her - she broke her arm during auditions. Nevertheless, she managed to emerge victorious in a tough casting process with many other contenders, as she had no connections or favors to rely on.

She initially made it to the top ten, then the top three, and then... she was not confirmed for the role. Victoria had already taken on a new role in the theater when she received a spontaneous call from the TV channel offering her another audition, which finally turned out to be successful.

When asked about how she evaluates her character, Victoria replied that she does not consider her a villain, but rather a desperate fighter for love. Many women exhibit such qualities when fighting for their chosen ones. What captivates her is the character's openness and ability to go against all odds. She takes action first and only then evaluates her actions and their consequences.

Was it difficult to participate in such a long-term project? Undoubtedly, the actress notes. Endless filming from morning till night changes one's daily routine and requires sacrificing many things for the role. Initially, one does not fully comprehend the amount of work that lies ahead, but once success comes, it is no longer possible to change anything.

Another successful work by Victoria was in the 60-episode series "Grechanka," the premiere of which was successful in early 2017 on the 1st Russian channel. In the series, Victoria appears as the lover of the main character, who wants to destroy the marriage of a promising man in order to become his wife.

Personal Life

After marrying her classmate and colleague at the theater, Roman Yasinovsky, Victoria changed her last name to Litvinenko-Yasinovskaya.

On April 25, 2012, their creative union was blessed with the birth of their daughter, whom they named Varvara.

In one of her interviews, Victoria openly shared that her husband lacked attention and the time they could spend together. As the actress is in high demand and spends a lot of time on film sets, this became a negative aspect in their relationship. Another negative aspect she mentioned was her husband's sensitive reaction to explicit scenes in which the actress had to participate. These factors may have contributed to their separation. Currently, Victoria is officially divorced.

Hobbies

Whenever possible, the actress enjoys engaging in her favorite sport, although finding time for it is extremely difficult with her busy filming schedule. She loves horseback riding, mountain hikes with a tent, and enjoys riding snowmobiles, snowboarding, biking, scooters, and ATVs.

She also loves traveling the world. Her Instagram page is filled with mesmerizing photos from all corners of the planet. The breathtaking landscapes of exotic countries further enhance the exquisite beauty of the Ukrainian diva.
