Biography Steps

Victor was born in the hot summer of 1955 in the sunny city of Baku. The heat tormented him all his childhood, because at that time there was still no air conditioning. Already becoming a student, Victor came to his native city only in the summer, very rarely in winter.

Victor's father was a pilot, and my mother worked at a weather station, and there was an older brother. The family lived in an airplane, the city was several dozen kilometers away. There were no circles here, and there was nothing to foretell fate, he never played in amateur performances. If in his youth Victor Zaporozhye learned that he would become an actor, he would not believe it for anything. The elder brother and all friends connected their destiny with aviation. For a while Victor also thought about the fate of the pilot, but at 16 he wanted to try to enter the theater institute.

For admission, he chose the city of Leningrad and decided that if he did not act the first time, he would be a pilot.
