Elena Berkova is a model, actress, singer, television and reality show star. The celebrity has media projects behind her that helped her become famous.

Over the years of her career, Berkova has been a fashion model, radio DJ, TV presenter, and was also a participant in the Dom-2 television show. Artistry and an ear for music, bright appearance and the ability to present herself helped Lena achieve success.

Childhood and youth

The biography of Elena Sergeevna Berkova, a scandalous and unpredictable representative of Russian show business, began in Murmansk on March 11, 1985. However, the girl remembers little of her hometown, since after her birth the family moved to Nikolaev, Ukraine. It is known that Elena Berkova’s mother worked as a primary school teacher at secondary school No. 45. Elena studied at this educational institution for several years, but soon another move followed - this time to the Alluvium region. The future actress spent most of her school years in this microdistrict of Nikolaev.

Elena's classmates remembered her as the life of the party, a cheerful and sociable girl who knew how to make her interlocutor laugh and cheer her up. At the same time, Berkova studied unimportantly, as often happens with creative individuals.

The parents hoped and believed that their daughter would achieve success in rhythmic gymnastics. In turn, Elena thought about other prospects - the girl’s cherished dream was a ballet career, but fate decreed otherwise.

Adult films

Elena had to fight for fame. A serious obstacle to achieving success was her non-model height of 158 cm. This contradicted all possible model standards, but the young and persistent Berkova did not give up and looked for ways for self-realization. The girl spent her evenings in restaurants, but not having fun at all, since she worked as a waitress.

Still, the podium did not accept Berkova, and, giving up on the modeling business, Elena met the Norwegian photographer Petter Hegre. He told the girl that erotica would not be a profitable business, and participation in photo shoots would not bring income. Hegre advised Berkova, albeit a rather scandalous, but very profitable business - porn.

Berkova happily took on the offered work, filmed in a web studio, and then began appearing in American films for adults. It turned out that 18+ films are a profitable industry.

When the truth about Elena touched relatives and friends, many turned away from her and rushed to condemn her. Even her own sister refused to accept Elena’s new profession. Because of the stress she experienced, Berkova ended up in a psychiatric hospital. Fortunately, her understanding and sensitive parents supported the actress and helped her cope with the burden of notoriety that had fallen on her. Berkova's parents are indebted for her speedy rehabilitation and return to normal life.

"House 2"

Elena gained all-Russian fame from the TV show “Dom-2”, where the girl spent several months. During this time, the participant managed to distinguish herself with shocking behavior, as well as a stormy relationship with, another participant in the project.

Having learned that Berkova was involved in the porn industry, in 2004 the reality management disqualified the participant.

Despite her short participation, Elena Berkova was remembered by the audience. Many people still believe that the girl became famous thanks to this TV show, and not because of her participation in adult films. Subsequently, the erotic video “House-2, or how to make love with Elena Berkova” was released, which, as the media wrote, served as a good source of income.

Creation

In 2007, Berkova’s OERTV channel, opened together with Alexander Valov, exploded. Elena’s voice was heard on television and radio in the author’s program with the provocative title “Undoubtedly.” The book in which Elena Berkova talked about her life and career received the same name. The book "Undoubtedly", published by the publishing house "Folio SP", became a bestseller in 2007.

Elena worked at the Megapolis FM radio station, participated in the presentation of the Silver Galosh awards, MTV, RuTV and MuzTV channels.

Trailer for the film “What Men Do 2”

Berkova also took part in filming. The most famous of them are “Gangster Petersburg. Film 7. Redistribution” and “What Men Do 2”. Later, Elena directed the short film “3 Minutes,” inspired by the film “Irreversible,” in which she starred. The film, according to the author, is intended to draw attention to the problem of violence against women and the lack of a rehabilitation system for victims of aggression. And the title of the film once again emphasizes that in such a short moment a person’s whole life can change.

Berkova starred in the scandalous film “Misha, or the New Adventures of Yulia”, the co-author of the script of which was a State Duma deputy from the LDPR. The main characters of the parody were the then President of Georgia and the Prime Minister of Ukraine.

Former musicians and directors Vadim Esterman and Igor Belyansky, who moved to Israel, saw the porn star as a performer in a biographical film about the singer. Cinema for adults is available for distribution to European viewers.

2010 has arrived - and now viewers see Elena as a singer in the qualifying round for the Eurovision music competition, where the girl was preparing to perform the song The Bear Arrived. Berkova did not advance beyond the qualifying stage. However, the performer was not upset when she began to participate in the recording of videos by Russian musicians, and also thought about performing new songs.

And in 2011, Berkova appeared in a video called “Striptease Star” by the Delta pro group. A year later she starred in the video “Sorry”. The video surprised fans of the actress, because there were no explicit scenes in the video, and the song performed by Andrei Lefler was classified as a spiritual composition that deals with feelings. Then Elena Berkova took part in the filming of the video “Back to Time” by the group Russell Ray (7Hills).

Delta pro group - “Striptease Star”

In 2016, Berkova appeared in a supporting role in the crime drama “The Light and Shadow of the Lighthouse” about a quiet caretaker who in reality turns out to be the leader of a criminal gang.

On the stage of “Our Theater Project”, the ex-participant of “House-2” appeared in the role of a policeman in the production of “Shine!”, and played in classic performances about the poets of the Silver Age. However, due to its past reputation and violations of discipline, the alliance with the theater did not work out. The actress was refused to renew her contract.

Personal life

Elena's personal life was stormy. Berkova entered into her first marriage at the age of 16. The girl’s chosen one was an Armenian named Albert. Together with him, Elena founded a marriage agency in Nikolaev, and the business became profitable. But a quiet family life, albeit a very wealthy one, was not enough for the ambitious beauty.

Soon Elena changed her role. The girl decided to settle down and find true happiness, as well as find herself in politics. Businessman Vladimir Khimchenko, with whom the star married in 2005, helped with this.

The chosen one was 26 years older. Guests at the celebration were Alexander and Natalya Nelidov, and. The marriage broke up after 2 years. There were many reasons voiced by the press. Among others is the desire of producer Alexander Tolmatsky, who took up the promotion of Berkova as the first porn DJ, to make his ward a free woman. And Vladimir turned out to be a jealous husband.

Berkova's next husband was stripper Ivan Belkov. Together, Ivan and Elena organized the scandalous show “The First Wedding Night,” in which the newlyweds depicted sex and sex scenes under a blanket right in front of visitors to one of the Moscow clubs. In this marriage, Berkova and Belkov had a son, Evgeniy. In 2009, the couple divorced.

While seven months pregnant, Elena Berkova ran for mayor of Sochi. The ballerina, as well as politicians and Andrei Lugovoi, became Berkova's alleged rivals. However, the artist soon refused to participate in the elections, and her producer Alexander Valov explained this by the theft of her election deposit.

After this, for a long time on the streets of Moscow, the public saw Elena Berkova next to an impressive middle-aged gentleman. The man's name is Vladimir Savro. It is impossible to call him a famous person; all that was known about Vladimir was that he was next to Elena during a difficult period of her life, supporting her. Vladimir also got along well with Elena’s son.

Elena received a marriage proposal from Vladimir live. Berkova’s chosen one was not embarrassed by either the woman’s scandalous reputation or her turbulent past. In addition, Savro turned out to be the only candidate approved by Berkova’s mother.

In September 2013, Vladimir Savro went missing in Sevastopol; he and Berkova came to Crimea to shoot a video. The police considered two versions of what happened - Vladimir either drowned or was killed. However, the last statement could not be proven. For a long time, Berkova wore mourning, although she never officially signed with Savro.

Since 2014, Berkova has been credited with having affairs with Russian media figures. In 2015, the name of Elena’s new chosen one was announced in the press. It turned out to be an actor. In June 2017, a wedding procedure took place in the Gagarin registry office of the Russian capital. Only close relatives and friends were present. The wedding was celebrated 2 months later in Italy, and in the fall Berkova married her husband in a temple in Crete.

Berkova also spoke in an interview about the court’s decision to deprive Ivan Belkov of parental rights. Stoyanov intended to adopt Elena's child. The woman also dreamed of a daughter, and by the age of 40 she planned to become the mother of at least three children. However, in the fall of 2018 "Instagram" Stoyanov appeared in a post in which the actor announced his separation from his wife and thanked him for the “magical time spent together.” Berkova admitted that during her marriage to Andrey “I had to endure a lot.”

In 2017, Elena Berkova presented a new video. The video for the song “Became Different” was directed by Maxim Poddubny, and Elena Berkova played the main role in the new video together with her husband. Viewers did not see hot scenes, which surprised fans, but explicit scenes are still present in the video.

Fans of the celebrity have the opportunity to see photos of the actress on Instagram, where the celebrity often publishes new pictures. Elena is not shy about showing off her figure in a swimsuit or without clothes at all.

In 2011, representatives of the Russian press reported that Elena was sentenced to 3 years of probation for drug possession. The celebrity’s case was considered by the Nikulinsky Court of Moscow, and Berkova herself was under recognizance not to leave the place.

The courts considered the case in a special manner, since the accused fully admitted her guilt. In addition, the court took into account that at that time the woman had a dependent 2-year-old son. After hearing the verdict, Berkova did not comment on this situation.

According to LIFE!, Berkova was detained in a nightclub in February 2011. The police carried out surveillance of the drug dealer, establishing that the criminal had appointed a meeting for another customer at the club. It soon became clear that the buyer was a celebrity.

During the investigation, drug police officers found out that Berkova wanted to buy cocaine, but the drug dealer deceived her and replaced the drug with amphetamine.

Elena Berkova now

In 2018, Elena made a name for herself by participating in the TNT channel show “Money or Shame,” in which guests answer the host’s tricky questions in the hope of receiving 1 million rubles for their frankness.

Berkova played in the series with a touch of black humor “Bitsukha” about two slender young men who decided to pump up for the summer in the gym.

The slogan of the film speaks about the situation the guys found themselves in: “The worst thing that could happen to you in the gym will happen now!” Elena's company was made up of Paata Petriashvili, Sergey Rodin and Mikhail Koklyaev, famous in the world of bodybuilding.

Elena admitted that every day is planned down to the minute. The woman travels around the country with the erotic show The BERKOVA, opened an intimate accessories store, is filming a video and is preparing to present a new music program.

Actress Elena Berkova told Life Showbiz about relationships with men and her upcoming divorce from stripper Ivan Belkov.

Actress and fashion model Elena Berkova shared with Life Showbiz the details of her upcoming divorce from her third husband, stripper Ivan Belkov, and also talked about youthful mistakes and the male ideal.

- Lena, tell me why at such a young age you already have two divorces behind you and a third one is about to happen?

In youth, no one is immune from mistakes, and it is quite difficult for a young girl to recognize malicious intent in a man. Every time I got married, I wanted this marriage to be my last, so that I would have a reliable shoulder and support. And before the wedding, everything was exactly like that. But it seems that after the stamp in the passport, my husbands decided that I belonged entirely to them and began to establish their own rules.

-Have you tried to change something in the relationship yourself?

I have never tolerated disrespectful behavior and I am not going to tolerate it in the future.

- What qualities should a man have in order not to lose you?

I would like my lover to take life and family seriously and be caring. I don’t want to demand anything, a real man will do everything himself, without unnecessary reminders.

Was your last husband, Ivan Belkov, unable to do such a small thing for you as being devoted and caring?

Of course, at first everything was fine. We started living together and were preparing for the birth of a baby. But less than a month had passed since our wedding, Vanya changed radically. He became rude, hysterical, and began to raise his hand against me.

- But at that time you were already expecting a child?

Yes, but that didn’t stop my new husband at all. One day he beat me to such an extent that I could not leave the apartment on my own. Out of fear, I locked myself in the bathroom, from where I called my friend and asked for help.

- How could a pregnant woman make a man so angry? Perhaps Belkov had a reason to be jealous?

Yes, he was very jealous of me. Because I'm famous and he's not. From the very beginning, Ivan was only interested in my fame and money. He tried to get into show business at my expense. Now I understand that he never loved me.

- Has the situation really not changed with the birth of the child?

Things only got worse. When he was discharged from the hospital, he put on a real show. I was one of the first to rush to the hospital, and as soon as we went down to the press, my husband literally snatched the baby from my arms and, with the air of a caring father, began giving interviews and posing in front of the cameras with the baby.

- What about the material aspect? Who provided for your family?

Of course I am. I earned money, bought food, all expenses were on me. My husband not only sat on my neck, but also periodically robbed me. Immediately after giving birth, I participated in a TV show and won a large sum. The next morning Vanya disappeared, taking all the money with him.

- As I understand it, this was the reason for the final break in relations?

In fact, there was no need to tear anything apart. Vanya disappeared and stopped all communication with me. During the three and a half years of our son Zhenechka’s life, he never once took an interest in the child and did not even show a desire to see him. But Belkov happily came to all the filming of TV shows about me and, as my legal husband, talked about our “happy” family life.

- I know that you filed for divorce. Does Ivan agree with your decision?

I have not been able to find Ivan for a long time in order to get a divorce from him. He has another child from his first marriage, whom he also abandoned and left without paternal care. I entrusted the case of my divorce to lawyer Sergei Zhorin and I really hope that he will help me forget about this man forever.

Lawyer Sergei Zhorin also confirmed to Life Showbiz information about Berkova’s participation in the case:

I am confident that I can help her not only dissolve the marriage, but also, if necessary, determine the child’s place of residence and resolve the issue of alimony.

My great-grandfather Ivan Efimovich Belkov lived with a large family in the village of Mechetka, Voronezh region. He was an ordinary peasant who worked on the land. But already in the summer of 1941, millions of such recruits from the “plow” would go to the front. And my great-grandfather was no exception; he was drafted on July 28, 1941. Six children and his wife Alexandra Matveevna, who carried under her heart her son Ivan, who would never see his father, were left without a breadwinner. Ivan Efimovich managed to send a letter to his large family. According to the recollections of his daughter Vera, the postman brought the letter directly to the field, where everyone, young and old, was harvesting the harvest. He wrote that he was fighting in the Smolensk region, and also that every day he remembered his family and home. The letter was not preserved, but it was possible to find out that the Red Army soldier Belkov fought in 844 th artillery shelf, which was part of 303rd Infantry Division.

The 303rd Infantry Division was formed in July 1941 in Voronezh. Soon she was transferred to Yelnya, where she took part in the Yelnya operation as part of the southern strike group of troops. During the liquidation of the Elninsky salient, the 303rd Infantry Division suffered heavy losses.

After the Elninsky operation, the 303rd Rifle Division went on the defensive. For 15 days it firmly held its position, but at the beginning of October the Germans broke through the defenses of the Western Front in the Roslavl area and rushed to Moscow. On October 1, the division received an order to transfer it to the 49th Army and advance to the Pavlinovo and Spas-Demensk stations for dispatch to the southwest, but the trains were delayed and already on the 3rd, due to the approach of the Germans, the 303rd Infantry Division began to urgently withdraw to the northeast.

On October 7, German troops broke through to Vyazma, forming the Vyazma pocket, in which a large number of Soviet troops found themselves, including the 303rd Infantry Division. On December 27, 1941, the division was disbanded as lost.

In open carriages with hundreds of other soldiers, my great-grandfather was sent to Germany, to the Stalag XI D (321) Erbke concentration camp. In inhumane conditions, he survived every day against all odds. Prisoners lived in the open air or in makeshift digs both in winter and summer. The camp was not given drinking water, and the prisoners drank directly from puddles, so a terrible epidemic soon began, which claimed the lives of almost all prisoners. But judging by the data on the German prisoner of war card, my great-grandfather was still alive. Perhaps the desire to see his family at least once again gave him at least a little strength. Unfortunately, in May 1942 he passed away.

His grandchildren, 70 years after the Great Victory, on the site of a former concentration camp in Germany (in the lands of Lower Saxony), erected a memorial plaque in honor of the Red Army soldier Ivan Efimovich.

Lena Berkova dreamed of becoming a ballerina since childhood, but the dream was not destined to come true. At the age of 14, the girl began to get involved in modeling.

At the age of 16, the young model had already married businessman Albert. Together they opened a marriage agency. Things were going well. However, the marriage did not last long. After the divorce, Berkova went to her sister in St. Petersburg. There she wanted to continue her modeling career.

It was difficult for Elena to get a job in any agency; she did not meet the standards. For a long time she went to castings, and in the evening she worked as a waitress. Eventually the model's patience ran out. Then she decided to temporarily work part-time in a webcam studio; her work colleague was an erotic Norwegian photographer. Soon she began acting in porn films for Americans.

In 2004, Lena decided to become famous and went to the casting of the project “House 2”. She became one of the most scandalous participants, everyone wanted to watch her. But the girl did not last long on the project; she was kicked out due to exposure. The creators of the show could not allow a porn actress to become its participant.

After such a scandal, many turned their backs on Berkova; before that, no one knew about her filming in erotic films. Only the mother and father supported their daughter to the end. After some time, Lena decided to achieve success at any cost. She channeled her scandal in the right direction and became a real superstar in the world of the porn industry. Films with her participation became very popular.

Elena Berkova gave a frank interview in which she talked about the breakup with her husband Ivan Belkov. As it turned out, the relationship between the spouses deteriorated soon after the relationship was registered. “At first everything was fine. We started living together, preparing for the birth of a baby. But less than a month had passed since our wedding day, Vanya changed radically. He became rude, hysterical, began to raise his hand against me,” Berkova is quoted as saying by Life News .

According to the actress, banal jealousy is to blame. Elena said: “He was very jealous of me. Because I was famous and he was not. From the very beginning, Ivan was only interested in my fame and money. He tried to get into show business at my expense. Now I understand that he never loved me."

The situation did not change even after the birth of their son Evgeniy. Moreover, as the adult film star said, she supported the family. Now Ivan Belkov has completely disappeared. " Vanya disappeared and stopped all communication with me. During the three and a half years of our son Zhenechka’s life, he never once took an interest in the child and did not even show a desire to see him. But Belkov happily came to all the filming of TV shows about me and, as my legal husband, talked about our “happy” family life,” the actress said.

Berkova filed for divorce, but not everything is so simple - she does not know where to look for it. " I haven’t been able to find Ivan for a long time in order to get a divorce from him.. He has another child from his first marriage, whom he also abandoned and left without paternal care. I entrusted the matter of my divorce to a lawyer and I really hope that he will help me forget about this man forever,” Elena said.

Let us remember that Elena Berkova and Ivan Belkov got married in 2008, and in July 2009 their long-awaited first child, Evgeniy, was born. Ivan was Berkova’s third official husband. The girl got married for the first time at the age of 16 in his hometown Nikolaev. Using a fictitious pregnancy certificate, Lena was legally married to a young Armenian named Albert. The husband turned out to be very jealous and allowed himself to give up, as a result, a year later the marriage broke up.

Soon Lena met her second husband, 50-year-old Vladimir Khimchenko. The girl was not even embarrassed by the fact that he had just left the colony a couple of months ago, where served time for banditry. The marriage, like the previous one, turned out to be short-lived, and the reason for the divorce was the same jealousy and assault.

After some time, Berkova, who was 22 years old at that time, started dating a famous chansonnier– 60-year-old Anatoly Dneprov. It never came to the wedding: Anatoly had a heart attack.
