Kirkorova Victoria Markovna: biography, photo

People who are keen on the domestic stage, about the work of Philip Kirkorov, there is an ambiguous opinion. Some people admire the voice of the singer, others say that going to the concerts of the King of Pop is a manifestation of bad taste. You can chuckle at the outrageous behavior of Philip on the stage, condemn his participation in secular scandals. But there is one quality in the character of the artist, which deserves the respect of both admirers and enemies. This is his quivering attitude towards his parents, especially his mother.

What was Victoria Markovna Kirkorova? The biography of this woman is inextricably linked with the work of her famous son. About her very little is known. She seldom appeared on the TV screens, practically did not participate in secular parties. It did not become in 1994. The cause of death is a terrible disease, a reliable medicine from which has not yet been invented.

Family, parents, work

About the childhood and youth of Victoria, no information is practically not preserved, because she never gave an interview to journalists. All that concerns her personality, we only know from the words of her husband Bedros and his son Philip. It is known that the maiden name of Victoria Markovna - Likhachev, she was born on April 6, 1937, before her marriage she worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Her mother was a circus actress, and her father an engineer - an employee of one of the Soviet research institutes. During the years of Stalin's repression, Mark Likhachev spent several years in the camps, where he undermined his health. By the time of his daughter's marriage, he was very ill and died literally the day after the wedding of Victoria and Bedros.

Nationality and origin

During the long years of Philip's stay on the stage, no one had any questions about his origin. Everyone knew that he, like his father, was a Bulgarian. Recently, it has become fashionable to "dig into dirty lingerie" celebrities. Probably, the reason for this was all sorts of talk shows and sensational revelations on the pages of the yellow press.

Several years ago, journalists, in order to please the public, were able to find out that Philip's grandfather and grandmother on the paternal line, although they lived in Bulgaria, were Armenians. It would seem that this can be the point. It is the Armenian roots that explain the look with a pinch and the black curls of the king of the stage. An, no! Driven by anti-Semitic sentiments, individuals began to wonder: is it not a Jew, Kirkorova Victoria Markovna? The nationality of Philip's mother is unknown to us, especially since the fifth column in passports has not existed for a long time. Judging by her father's surname, she could well have been Russian. And the grandmother of Philip's mother had French, Russian and Gypsy roots.

Love at first sight and for life

Kirkorov's future parents met in Sochi, where Bedros performed with a concert with Eddie Rosner's orchestra, and Victoria sat in the auditorium. When the girl approached the Bulgarian artist to take an autograph, he in return invited her to walk together on the night streets of the resort city. The next morning, Bedros made Victoria a proposal, and she agreed. They were married in November 1964, and in 1967 the Kirkorovs' two sons Philip were born. The marriage lasted exactly 30 years, until the last days of the life of Victoria Markovna.

There is such a profession - being a mom

Philip, like his father, was born in Varna, but unlike Bedros, Kirkorov junior dual citizenship - Bulgarian and Russian. With the birth of her son, Victoria left work and devoted her life to his upbringing. Of course, she could not stay at home, and when Philip grew up a bit, began to accompany her husband on tour trips, acted as an entertainer at his concerts.

Soon the Kirkorov family moved from Bulgaria to Moscow, a small Philip was given to a music school, after which he entered the Gnessin School. Mom is always next to her son. She firmly believed that a great future awaits him, and she was not mistaken. Wise, kind, understanding, like all mothers - such was Victoria Markovna Kirkorova. A photo from the family archive gives out in it a wonderfully beautiful woman.

The trouble came unexpectedly

Being already quite a famous and popular singer, Philip never neglected the advice of his mother. He knew that she would always come to the rescue in a difficult moment, comfort her with a kind word and encourage her with wise instruction. Only with her he could share the most intimate secrets. In the last few years, my mother accompanied him on all trips, was his personal secretary and guardian angel.

In 1992, feeling unwell, Kirkorova Victoria Markovna turned to the hospital. Her diagnosis - liver cancer - shocked the whole family. Doctors insisted on immediate surgical intervention. The operation was done, there was a hope that everything would turn out well. Two years the woman fought for life, but the disease did not recede.

Predictions of Grandmother Vanga

According to Bedros Kirkorov, he sincerely believed that his wife would be able to recover. To reinforce this conviction, he went to Bulgaria to the famous prophetess of the whole world, to whom he applied for advice before. Vanga said nothing definite, gave instructions for treatment, ordered to come again in a week.

Inspired by hope, Bedros went to Moscow, took his wife a drug, which advised him to take Wang. But Kirkorova Victoria Markovna - my beloved wife and loving mother faded before my eyes. A little later, Bedros learned what Vanga's formula meant "to come in a week" - she often said such words to people if she had a premonition of an imminent death in their immediate surroundings.

The Collapsing Hope of Salvation

At that time Professor Gradov worked in one of the Leningrad clinics, whose efforts saved not one life of cancer patients. The famous doctor appointed Victoria Markovna procedures, as a result of which cancerous metastases in the liver could be localized. It became easier for a woman, the matter went on the mend. But here Gradov himself gets on the operating table, his patients were without necessary help.

A few days later Kirkorova Victoria Markovna felt worse, having broken the drug blockade, cancer metastases began to spread all over the body. At the end of April 1994, it became clear that the miracle that everyone had hoped for would not happen.

Farewell words

It was hard for Philip to come to terms with the idea that his mother's days were numbered. He did not want to go to the hospital, so as not to see his mother in a helpless state. Alla Borisovna, with whom Philip went to the wedding, insisted that the singer fulfill his last filial duty. Entering the ward, he did not recognize his mother in the woman lying on the hospital bed - Victoria Markovna Kirkorova had grown so old just in a few weeks.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he, barely holding back tears, stroked his mother's hand. Here was also Pugacheva. They say that the last words of Victoria Markovna were an appeal to Alla with a request to take care of Philip. Even dying, she thought only of the fate of her only son. Fatal coincidence, it was not April 30 - exactly the day when Kirkorov was supposed to celebrate his twenty-seventh birthday.

In the last way

The funeral of Philip's mother took place on May 2, as it should be according to Christian customs, on the third day after his death. The farewell ceremony was held in Moscow, then the body was transported to Bulgaria. Victoria Markovna Kirkorov is at rest in a cemetery in the city of Sofia.

The day after the farewell to his mother, Philip Kirkorov, along with Alla Pugacheva, went on a previously planned tour of Israel. According to the artist, in public he was easier to survive the grief and cope with the terrible depression. "Mom would understand me and not condemn" - the king of the stage thinks.
