My father served in the Marine Corps, and, as a rule, appeared at home infrequently.
From early childhood, Victoria fell in love with creativity. And creativity fell in love with Victoria.
The first scene for her was a children's chair, on which she perfectly read a poem to Santa Claus. Then came the kindergarten and school scene. Vika was a very active child.
It was precisely because of her activity and creative inclinations that in 1981 Victoria went to conquer Vladivostok. There she became a student at the Far Eastern Institute of Arts.
At the end of 4 years, the girl received the specialty of a theater and film actress. But during her studies, she could not part with her favorite pastime - singing.

Musical career of Victoria Tsyganova
In 1988, Victoria became the soloist of the More musical group. Tsyganova liked singing on stage so much that she abandoned her theatrical life.
Together with the More group, the girl begins to tour throughout the USSR. Tsyganova's performances were a great success. With each performance, she realized that she had exhausted herself as an actress.
For several years, as part of the More group, Tsyganova recorded two records - "Love Caravel" and "Autumn Day". Having taken place as a singer, Victoria begins to think about a solo career.
At the end of the 80s, she leaves the Sea. Next to the singer were the musician Yuri Pryalkin and the talented songwriter Vadim Tsyganov, who would later become the performer's husband.
A year after leaving the musical group, Victoria presents her debut solo album "Walk, Anarchy".
When Tsyganova acquired a decent number of fans, she organized a solo concert, which took place in the capital's Variety Theater.
By this time, the singer had accumulated a sufficient number of hits. The singer's performances are included in concerts that are broadcast on Russian TV channels.
Victoria's repertoire includes musical compositions in the chanson style.
Every year, since 1990, one record of Victoria has been released. Tsygankova regularly tours and becomes a guest of various concerts, as well as music festivals.
The singer's hits are such songs as "Bunches of Rowan". The track was included in the disc "My Angel".
Since the mid-90s, Victoria Tsyganova has radically changed her creative role. Lyrical compositions appear in the singer's repertoire.
In 1998, Vika decided to surprise fans with a change in her image. Later, the album "The Sun" is released, which differs from the singer's previous works. Victoria again took her victory, being at the peak of popularity.
And in the early 2000s, everyone again saw Vika Tsyganova, familiar to everyone. Chanson poured from the lips of the Russian performer.
The whole of 2001 passed in collaboration with the king of chanson - Mikhail Krug. The singers recorded 8 songs, which were included in Tsyganova's new disc "Dedication".

Since the beginning of 2011, Victoria Tsyganova has appeared on stage less and less. Actually this year the last albums of the Russian singer were released, called "Romances" and "Golden Hits".
Now Victoria mostly gives herself to her hobby. Tsyganova discovered her talent as a designer. She created her own clothing brand "TSIGANOVBA".
Clothing from Tsyganova is popular with Russian pop stars.
Personal life of Victoria Tsyganova
The personal life of Victoria Tsyganova has developed happily. Her husband was Vadim Tsyganov, who turned out to be not only a faithful and loving spouse, but also a creative colleague, best friend and great support.
Almost all the musical compositions that were included in the star's repertoire were written by Vadim.
The couple signed in 1988. Since then, the family has always been together. The only thing that Victoria and Vadim lack is children.
In the mid-90s, they got married in the church of St. George the Victorious. The Russian performer attaches great importance to issues of faith.
The family lives in a country house near Moscow. Their house is somewhat reminiscent of a fairytale castle. The absence of children does not bother the couple. There are often guests in their house. In addition, they are owners of dogs, cats and a small parrot.
The Russian performer maintains an account on Instagram. Interestingly, along with her own photographs, the singer often quotes Russian and foreign poets and writers.
In addition, from time to time she throws posters and interesting videos on social topics online.
Victoria Tsyganova now
In 2017, Victoria Tsyganova openly spoke out against the “anti-criminal” law. This law was put forward by the senator of the Vladimir region Anton Belyakov.
Anton proposed to completely "block" the propaganda of the criminal subculture in the media. Thus, Victoria's songs could also be banned.
The Russian performer said that people need prison romance, and love for chanson-style musical compositions is in some form a social protest. The girl explained the popularity of chanson as follows: “In chanson, people can get acquainted with the stories of ordinary people.
In pop music, they sing about wealth, the fried children of millionaires, and about corrupt love. Other than irritating the Russians, such songs can cause nothing.”
The main images of this trend Vika Tsyganova called Ksenia Sobchak and Olga Buzova.
Among other things, Vika noted that even if such a ban is adopted, it will not reduce the popularity of chanson in the Russian Federation. And it will definitely not affect her popularity, in particular, since she has been “in business” for a long time.
In 2018, the singer was blacklisted in Ukraine. For some reason, the ministry considered that Vika was a threat to the country. Victoria did not protest, and the authorities treated this decision condescendingly.
In 2019, Tsyganova is still rocking her brand. The singer noted that she had finally come to a more moderate and calm life. She rarely appears at parties and concerts. Vika prefers peace and quiet to the stage.
In 2019, she presented a video clip for the song "Golden Ash".
