Viktoriya Agalakova (born August 30, 1996) is a prominent Russian actress who has established herself as a leading figure in modern genre cinema, particularly within horror, science fiction, and thrillers. A native of St. Petersburg, she began her training at the St. Petersburg Music Hall and the Theatre of Musical Comedy, making her screen debut at age 14. She rose to international fame as the "scream queen" of Russian cinema following her lead roles in the supernatural horror hits The Bride (2017) and Mermaid: The Lake of the Dead (2018). Her profile expanded further with her portrayal of Polina in the post-apocalyptic Netflix series To the Lake (Epidemiya) and her role as the captain of an intergalactic sports team in the sci-fi epic Cosmoball (2020). By late 2025, Agalakova has diversified her filmography with roles in the historical drama Patient Zero and major 2025 releases such as the fantasy film Gorynych and the drama Roads of Victory.
