Living off his wife, assaulting Makarova, meeting a new passion. What they say about widower Lyubov Polischuk – Sergey Tsigal

The love story of Sergey’s parents is worthy of a movie adaptation: young Mirel Shaginyan fell in love with artist Viktor Tsigal at first sight. The boy also charmed Mirel’s friend, leading to a long-lasting companionship. Sergey’s upbringing was overseen by his grandmother, writer Marietta Shaginyan. His interest in marine life led him to become an ichthyologist and artist. Tsigal’s career took off after joining the Union of Artists, and his unique techniques and nature-inspired works gained international recognition.
