In 2006 Alexandra Tsekalo invited to host the programs “Two Stars”, “Minute of Fame” and “Big Difference” on Channel One.
Until June 1, 2007, Tsekalo was the head of the entertainment broadcasting department STS(fired from STS due to a quarrel with the general director of the TV channel Alexander Rodnyansky). During this time, Alexander managed to participate as a presenter in the projects “Thank God, you came!” , "Night in the style of childhood", "Mind games".
Since June 25, 2007, Alexander was Deputy General Director of Channel One for special projects and general producer of the television company "Red Square". July 29, 2008 left this post. According to the official version - in connection with the reorganization of the structure of directorates and departments.
Alexander Tsekalo: “There are three types of karma. One type is what is destined, and it cannot be corrected, it is such a fate, and nothing can be done. The second type is karma, which can be corrected, but you need to try very hard for it. The third type is to change in a heartbeat. This is the difficulty of philosophy - to determine which karma is which. Where is what is destined. This is for those who want to improve. This takes years. I moved to Moscow at the age of 27 - a bit late. If it had been earlier, maybe I wouldn’t have achieved anything. And if I had arrived at 30, then maybe I would have achieved it faster. Without trying, you won’t understand.”
Alexander Tsekalo continued to work on the channel as a program presenter "Wall to wall", “Big Difference”, “Southern Butovo”, “ProjectorParisHilton”.
In September 2010 Tsekalo became the founder of an Italian restaurant Chichibio.
In 2014 Alexander Tsekalo acted as executive producer and host of an entertainment show on Channel One called “Cabaret without Borders”.
Alexander Tsekalo: “I am against liars who claim that one must live for the sake of children. You have to live for yourself. You need to respect the life you've been given. If you live for yourself, you can achieve a lot. This will help the child later. What is it to live for a child? This means quitting your job, not working, not loving, not paying attention to your wife, and spitting on your business partners. And what? Walk around naked, in shorts and feed him pine cones? You have to work, love yourself, go on vacation, be without a child, go crazy about him. Come back".
At the end of 2015, Alexander voiced one of the characters in the animated comedy “Angry Birds at the Movies,” which premiered in Russia in the spring of 2016.
Alexander: Tsekalo: “I never thought that it was possible to turn a game into a cartoon so funny... I didn’t even expect it. You seem to know everything - they shoot from a slingshot, pigs are bad, birds are good and evil - but it was very interesting and funny. Once again, hats off to the writers. My character Red is a red-browed misanthrope who cannot control his anger, even though it arises because other birds are wrong. Red is even forced to go to a special anger management clinic, but he is actually very good and very insightful."
In August 2016, the showman, who in recent years has acted much more often as a producer of film and TV projects, took part in the filming of the romantic comedy “A Stunning Walk” (2017) with actors such as Pavel Priluchny, Irina Starshenbaum, Maxim Vitorgan, Timofey Tribuntsev , etc.

Alexander Tsekalo. Personal life
First wife Alexandra Tsekalo was a soloist of the ensemble "Hat" - Alena Shifeman. They soon broke up with her - they did not get along in character.
The artist’s second marriage was more successful - he and Lolita Milyavskaya lived together for 12 years, and they had a daughter, Eva. However, in the end, this relationship also cracked - it was not so easy for two creative natures to exist in harmony.
In January 2008 Alexander married Vera Brezhneva's younger sister, Victoria Viktorovna Galushka. The wedding ceremony was not public. Several acquaintances of Sasha and Vika, who walked down the aisle while five months pregnant, knew about the celebration. On October 31, 2008, the couple had a daughter. Alexandra, and in October 2012 a son appeared Michael.
For his family, the showman built a large house in the Moscow region, where he moved to live with his wife and children. And at the beginning of November 2016, friends of the couple informed the press that Victoria was pregnant again.
Alexander: “We have something new happening every day. Life is like a big and fun volcano. But there will be more... very soon there will be three children in Tsekalo’s house.”
In November 2018, it became known that Alexander had a new affair with a 27-year-old artist of Kazakh origin. The girl lived in the USA for a long time, where she studied to become a financier at Suffolk University in Boston with the money of her mother’s chosen one, who works as a lawyer. Although after receiving her diploma, her stepfather employed her stepdaughter in his law firm, she decided to build a career in film: she played in the Los Angeles theater Theater 68 and even starred in the comedy “.”
In January 2019, they went on vacation together to Rome, and a little later Alexander announced that he was divorced from his third wife, the singer’s sister, because... He expressed his love for her. “Love is most important. In general, the most important thing. More important than work. I think that without love everything in work will not be right. It is possible to work without love. On the machine, on connections, on money, on financial freedom, but there is a limit. And love pushes boundaries. I think so. It's like a drug. Only natural, which cannot be bought. Love changes everything. Colors, taste. It is impossible without this. I love Darina very much. My wife. For me this is the most important thing now. What happened before it doesn't matter. What’s important is what’s ahead,” said the producer.
At the beginning of March, Alexander and Darina. The couple officially registered their relationship in Beverly Hills in the presence of close friends and relatives, and then went on their honeymoon, which... At the same time, the lovers plan to organize a big celebration on the occasion of the creation of a family in May in Moscow, where they will invite Tsekalo’s colleagues in show business. Moreover, he already introduced his new wife to the public when he presented the Association of Film and Television Producers Awards.
Alexander's children from Victoria Galushka met their new chosen one even before he officially connected his life with her. As a source close to the newlyweds said, Darina managed to find a common language with Sasha and Misha. “From his marriage to Victoria Galushka, Sasha has an 11-year-old daughter, Alexandra, and a 6-year-old daughter, Mikhail. He did not hide his new relationship from the guys and arranged a meeting with Darina. Even before the wedding, everyone traveled abroad together. We were at Disneyland in Los Angeles. Erwin quickly got along with her chosen one’s children,” StarHit reports.
Russian singer, actor, showman and producer Alexander Tsekalo was born in Kyiv into a family of engineers. The childhood of the future comedian was spent under conditions of serious educational loads: in addition to the general education school, he also attended a music school, learning to play the piano.
At the same time, Alexander had enough time for amateur performances and active participation in the theatrical life of the school. As a student, Tsekalo learned to play the guitar, performing songs of his own composition. During his school years, Tsekalo distinguished himself as the organizer of a musical group that performed hits of popular British groups.
At first, creativity for Alexander Tsekalo was a pleasant addition to the standard categories of “home-study-work”. He did not count on phenomenal success, and therefore applied for a correspondence course at a technological institute and went to earn money.
First he entered service in a chemical laboratory, then became a fitter. Tsekalo had to work as both a lighting designer and a stage setter at the Kiev Variety Theater. After defending his diploma, Alexander Tsekalo was again attracted by the creative path.
Possessing a clear gift for organizing, he took the helm of a musical quartet. Soon he was offered to undergo training at a variety and circus educational institution. This experience became fateful for the artist.
Completion of studies entailed a transfer to Odessa, where two talented stage characters united - Tsekalo and Lolita Milyavskaya. This is how the inimitable cabaret duo “Academy” appeared. The couple chose for themselves the roles of a weak, henpecked husband and a domineering, intolerant wife. By the mid-nineties, these images made the artists one of the most famous in Odessa. The audience adored the perky melodies, funny lyrics and originality of this creative duo. Having achieved success in their homeland, in 1988 Lolita and Tsekalo decided to try their luck in the Russian capital.
Realizing that at the age of 27 starting a creative path “from scratch” is very risky, Tsekalo, nevertheless, maintained unprecedented perseverance. Difficulties lurked everywhere. In his memoirs, the artist notes difficulties with housing, connections, work - he, as a visitor, had to face all of this to the fullest. Only the ability to believe in your dream did not allow you to lower your head and inspired you to move forward. Success comes to those who work, and as a result of hard, active work, the duo in which Tsekalo was involved became extremely popular. The Russian audience fell in love with Ukrainian artists with all their hearts, and this love was mutual.
Sometimes even the brightest creative unions reach a dead end. Tsekalo and Milyavskaya, whose relationship from professional grew into family back in Odessa, were unable to save their marriage, which was followed by the collapse of the Academy. Tsekalo maintained communication with his ex-colleague as part of joint television shows, but the public had to say goodbye to the sparkling performances of their beloved couple.
The year 2000 became very controversial for Tsekalo. On the one hand, a big and bright stage ended with Milyavskaya. On the other hand, the artist was awaiting his release on the big screens, and this success came quite unexpectedly.
Alexander Tsekalo sometimes received small roles in films. Since 1991, he has appeared on camera periodically, without demonstrating any particular zeal to become a famous actor. However, his talent for voice acting could not go unnoticed. Thanks to his work in the studio, Tsekalo acquired useful connections and acquaintances. In 2000, Tigran Keosayan invited the artist to star in one of the main roles in the film “Silver Lily of the Valley.” Good music, excellent performance of the Tsekalo-Stoyanov-Zheleznyak trio fell in love with the audience. Four years later, a sequel to the film was released, and Tsekalo again could not refuse Tigran, playing the role of Lyova Bolotov. According to Alexander, working under the leadership of Keosayan brought him great pleasure.
The next milestone in the showman’s career came in 2006, when he became the “face” of the most popular channel in Russia. Channel One brought Alexander Tsekalo participation in numerous projects, including the legendary “four” TV show “ProjectorParisHilton”.
The comedian's talents are truly multifaceted. The artist has repeatedly shown himself as a director of major events in the field of show business. Alexander Tsekalo is a successful producer and executive director at one of the country's central channels.
House of Alexander Tsekalo in Shulgino
Alexander Tsekalo’s last wife is Vera Brezhneva’s younger sister Victoria Galushka, with whom he lives in a country house in the elite village of Shulgino near Moscow. Tsekalo's neighbors are Masha Rasputina, Ilya Reznik, Alexander Maslyakov Sr. Also in Shulgino lives one of the trusted representatives of the President of the Russian Federation, Sergei Glazyev.
The cozy, gated “club” village on Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway is divided into 17 households. The plots of each of them vary from 15 acres to 1 hectare. There are no standard projects or internal infrastructure here. Residents enjoy all the benefits of Rublyovka, while actively caring for their own territory. Security of the village includes 24-hour surveillance and two checkpoints.
The Scandinavian three-story house with a flat roof, in which Tsekalo lives with his current family, looks like a box. The area of the building is 600 square meters. On the ground floor of the brick mansion there is a large hall. This is an area for friends and “hangouts”. The second floor is more closed.
The Tsekalo country house has 10 bedrooms, a large kitchen, a swimming pool, a sauna, and a garage. A spacious children's room occupies part of the space on the second floor.
There is also a glassed-in veranda on the site for relaxation and family gatherings. In addition to general security, the artist hired personal security guards to ensure the security of the territory.
According to CIAN, the cost of such a house in Shulgino for a potential buyer will be 140 million rubles and more. The price is largely determined by the size of the plot, the size of which varies.
However, the girl herself is in no way inferior in talent to those around her. Victoria is a mother of many children, the owner of her own successful business and a skillful housewife.
Childhood and youth
Victoria Galushka was born on December 22, 1984 in the city of Dneprodzerzhinsk (in the Dnepropetrovsk region). The girl’s family was large: Victoria and her twin sister Anastasia also have older sisters Vera and Galina. Father Viktor Mikhailovich worked at a local chemical plant. The girls’ mother, Tamara Vitalievna, was a doctor by training, but, like her husband, she worked at a factory.
A large family dictates special rules - from an early age, Victoria was accustomed to helping her sisters and mother with the housework. The girl learned early to cope with any housework. By her own admission, Vika has known since childhood how much salt to add to borscht, and how to properly screw in a light bulb and hammer a nail into a wall. Also, the girls had to start working early to help their parents feed their large family.
After graduating from school, Victoria Galushka went to medical school, but the girl did not have the opportunity to work in her specialty. Immediately after graduation, Vera Brezhneva, at that time already a well-known singer of the group, helped her sister move to Kyiv and find a prestigious job. So Victoria became an employee of the well-known design company Olga Navrotskaya.
Career
Victoria Galushka did not have a dizzying career. The girl sacrificed her own ambitions, devoting all her energy to her children and family. However, even in such a busy schedule, Vika found time for business. In 2013, the girl opened her own clothing store.
![](https://i0.wp.com/24smi.org/public/media/resize/800x-/2018/4/17/02_dzagtDc.jpg)
This store is notable for the fact that instead of fashionable new items, they sell things that were worn at least once by one of the show business stars. Surprisingly, there is no end to those who want to buy “star” outfits.
It is also known that Victoria Galushka loves to cook. The girl even took cooking courses at the school of Veronica Belotserkovskaya, a recognized culinary specialist and famous blogger. Who knows, perhaps soon Victoria will delight fans and gourmets with a new culinary project or opening her own restaurant.
Personal life
The personal life of Victoria Galushka was happy. In 2007, the girl met Alexander Tsekalo, showman, singer, composer and producer. Alexander, by his own admission, fell in love with the curvy blonde beauty at first sight and immediately invited Vika on a date. Despite the considerable difference in age (21 years) and height (Vika’s height is 1.71 cm, and Alexandra’s is 1.67 cm), the lovers were happy with each other.
![](https://i1.wp.com/24smi.org/public/media/resize/800x-/2018/4/17/05_x061gZE.jpg)
For Tsekalo himself, the relationship with Victoria was not the first serious romance. The man married twice: Alexander’s first passion was singer Alena Shiferman. According to rumors, this relationship broke up due to the betrayal of Tsekalo, who met. Whether this is so is not known for certain, but soon Lolita really became the singer’s wife. This marriage lasted 10 years; Tsekalo and Milyavskaya have a common daughter, Eva.
After breaking up with Lolita, Alexander did not long feel lonely. Tsekalo is credited with a whole series of affairs with girls, but only one of them - Victoria Galushka - managed to capture Tsekalo's heart for a long time.
![](https://i0.wp.com/24smi.org/public/media/resize/800x-/2018/4/17/04_i8HahBk.jpg)
In 2008, a new page opened in the biography of Victoria Galushka - the girl became the official wife of Alexander. The wedding took place without any fuss: the newlyweds invited only close friends to the celebration. And as it turned out, there was a reason: Victoria was already carrying her first child under her heart. That same year, Galushka gave her husband a daughter. The girl was named Alexandra. And four years later, Vika became a mother for the second time, giving birth to a son named Mikhail.
In 2017, the Internet spread the news that Victoria Galushka gave birth to her third child. Indeed, the “star” wife became a mother for the third time. And although it was already known about 35-year-old Victoria’s pregnancy, Tsekalo and Galushka kept the date of birth and gender of the newborn baby a secret from curious journalists and fans. Presumably, the joyful event occurred in April.
![](https://i1.wp.com/24smi.org/public/media/resize/800x-/2018/4/17/01_NtzWVL3.jpg)
And after some time, new photographs of Victoria Galushka and Vera Brezhneva in swimsuits appeared on the Internet. Vicky's fans were delighted with her figure - the girl managed to quickly regain her shape after giving birth. Now Vika is still slim and sexy.
At the end of 2018, Alexander Tsekalo ended up in. In an Italian restaurant in the center of Moscow, the producer was relaxing with his friends and did not hesitate to show feelings for a brunette named Darina. Tsekalo hugged and kissed the girl, and during breaks he whispered to her and kissed her hands.
In January 2019, Alexander dotted all the i’s. The showman said that he has been with Victoria for a long time, so calling Darina a mistress is wrong. According to Tsekalo, he intends to marry his new chosen one.
Victoria Galushka now
Now Victoria devotes most of her time to children. The girl does not comment on her personal life; questions about her divorce from Tsekalo also remain unanswered.
And Alexander Tsekalo. Compared to the backdrop of lively and sharp-tongued colleagues and comrades, Tsekalo looks like a kind of simpleton, at whom everyone makes fun and jokes. However, do not be mistaken - this is just a role. Alexander Tsekalo is not as simple as fans of the program might think. On March 22, the showman and producer turned 56 years old, and the site decided to reveal all the facets of his talent
Tsekalo musician
In 1985, Alexander, together with Lolita Milyavskaya, who was then his wife, created the cabaret duet “Academy”. Their humorous songs instantly became popular. Alexander and Lolita happily played up the difference in height (Lolita was only 5 centimeters taller than her husband, but deliberately increased the contrast by wearing high heels). The songs “You want to, but you are silent”, “Tom”, “When the husband went for beer”, “Infection!”, “I was offended” were especially successful. The group received three Golden Gramophones and a lot of other awards.

Tsekalo-TV presenter
In 1995, Tsekalo and Milyavskaya first appeared on television as hosts of the music program “Good Morning, Country!” After Lolita and Sasha divorced, Tsekalo left the program, but his hosting career did not end there. He hosted the programs “Good Songs” and “Thank God, You Came” on STS, “Two Stars” and “Minute of Glory” on Channel One, and the program “Big Difference” in a duet with Ivan Urgant. And in 2008, the program “ProjectorParisHilton” appeared on the screens for the first time. When asked if he was offended that the program participants sometimes simply openly mocked him, Alexander replied: “I don’t think it’s anything offensive. It’s a shame when they hit the patient, but nothing hurts me. But I don’t want to parry, although I could. It is quite obvious that no one can talk over Vanya Urgant either in terms of reaction speed or speed of pronouncing words. Seryozha and Garik complain that Vanya interrupts everyone and, if he wants to be heard better, begins to speak even louder. The three of them just can’t decide in what order to speak - can you imagine what would happen if the four of us tried to agree?”

Tsekalo-actor
One of Alexander’s first acting jobs was as producer Leva Bolotov in the series “Silver Lily of the Valley.” After that, he had countless roles, episodes and cameos in films and plays. Here are just a few of them: “The Other Side of the Moon”, “Method”, “My Fair Nanny”, “Who’s the Boss”, “Cinderella”. Alexander voiced the giraffe Melman in the cartoon “Madagascar” (in the American version the giraffe speaks in the voice of David Schwimmer). Tsekalo appeared on stage in the play “Election Day” by Quartet I, playing the role of candidate for governor Igor Tsaplin.

Tsekalo-producer
Alexander's producing career began in 2001, when he began producing the musical "Nord-Ost". Also during this period, he worked a lot with the STS TV channel, producing “Blind Date”, “Comedy Club “Half past six””, “Good songs”, “You are a supermodel”, “Thank God you came!” and other programs. As a film producer, he worked on the films “Cinderella”, “Radio Day”, “Diagnosis: Love”, “What Men Talk About”, “What Else Men Talk About”. In 2008, he founded the production company Sreda, which produces television programs and series. In 2016, the company experienced unprecedented success. “One of the most powerful players in the market in America, the Netflix company, bought our series “Major” to be shown all over the world,” said Tsekalo. — And another American company, but now a production company, is acquiring a license to produce the American version of the series “Major.” Let everyone in the world know and see that high-quality serial films are also produced in Russia.” Before this, our series were bought only twice - in Germany they became interested in “Daddy's Daughters,” and the Americans decided to remake our “Kitchen.”

Tsekalo-restaurateur
Most people have never even dreamed of such creative activity as demonstrated by Alexander Tsekalo. But even this is not enough for him. 6 years ago, together with his friend and colleague Ivan Urgant, he opened a restaurant called “The Garden”. The restaurant menu includes, among other things, venison tartare and wild boar cheeks, and the restaurateur himself usually orders homemade sausages in his own restaurant.
Tsekalo-husband
The showman and producer married three times. His first wife was singer Alena Shiferman, his second was Lolita Milyavskaya, who later became one of the most famous Russian performers. For the third time, Alexander’s choice fell on his sister, Victoria Galushka. The wedding took place in 2008, was very quiet and modest, almost no one knew about it. Tsekalo does not like to talk about his personal life; he and his wife do not often attend social events. When asked what his wife does, he usually answers. “Children and home. Vicky doesn't need to go to work. If only for the soul - but she herself will decide what and when she will do, and I will accept any of her decisions.”

Tsekalo-father
In the very near future, Victoria will give Alexander a third child. Tsekalo has an eldest daughter, Eva, from her marriage to Lolita. And married to Victoria, 8-year-old Sasha and 4-year-old Misha are growing up. “No matter how busy I am with work, I have a clear understanding that we need to raise children on our own,” says Alexander. “If my wife and I do not raise them, then the children will be like the nanny, and not like us. That’s why Vika and I practically never go anywhere together, we don’t go anywhere, and we spend all our free time with Sasha and Misha. We definitely go on vacation together.”
The biography of Alexander Tsekalo is very fascinating. During his creative career, he managed to achieve a lot and become famous not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders. He is known abroad as a talented producer, but here he is known as a singer, as a presenter, as a comedian, as a businessman, and also thanks to the many professions in which he was able to realize his potential. His path was not easy, but that only made it more interesting. How Alexander’s career developed and what he can rightfully be proud of, you will learn from the article below.
Youth
Alexander Evgenievich Tsekalo was born on March 22, 1961 in the capital of Ukraine - Kyiv. The boy's family was very simple: his parents worked as thermal power engineers. Mother is Elena Leonidovna Volkova, Jewish by nationality, and father is Evgeniy Borisovich Tsekalo, Ukrainian. This international family had two children. Alexander has an older brother, Victor. He is also a creative person, and the people of Ukraine know him as a talented actor.
Alexander Tsekalo's interest in music began in childhood. He played the piano and was very good at playing the guitar. Already at school, he assembled his first musical group - the group “It”. The stage attracted the creative young man, and he constantly participated in theatrical productions and concerts.
Education
Alexander Tsekalo studied at Kyiv school No. 89 with intensive study of foreign languages. In 1978, after graduating from his educational institution, he entered the correspondence department of the Leningrad Technological Institute of the Pulp and Paper Industry. During his studies, he worked as a mechanic and also managed to participate in amateur theater performances. In his second year, Tsekalo organized the “Hat” group and, by invitation, the whole team entered the second year of the Kyiv Variety and Circus School. He eventually graduated from the Leningrad Institute as an external student in 1982.
Carier start
In 1985, Tsekalo went to work at the Odessa Philharmonic. At that time, next to him was his first wife, Alena Shiferman, with whom he performed together in the group “Shlyapa”. The married couple subsequently got a job at the Caricature variety theater. Unfortunately, this marriage quickly fell apart.
Cabaret duet "Academy"
In 1985, Alexander organized his most successful project at that time - the cabaret duet "Academy", where his partner was the bright brunette Lolita Milyavskaya. Four years later they moved to Moscow and immediately felt all the delights of fame. They were considered one of the brightest creative groups in the country.
