Galina Grzhibovskaya (married name Kukhar) (Russian: Галина Гржибовская (Кухар), born July 12, 1951)[1] is a Ukrainian figure skating coach and former competitive skater who represented the Soviet Union. She is the 1967–68 Soviet champion and three-time silver medalist.
Grzibovskaya's first coach was Svetlana Mozer (mother of Nina Mozer), who coached her in a large children's group in Moscow.[1] She placed 16th at the 1968 Winter Olympics. She then began being coached by Stanislav Zhuk but left because she could not adapt to his authoritarian style.[1] Soon afterward she was invited to join the Kiev Ballet on Ice, where she skated for 23 years.[1]
In the early 1990s, Kukhar began a coaching career in Kiev; her former pupils include Tatiana Volosozhar, Aliona Savchenko, Galina Efremenko (Maniachenko), Dmitri Dmitrenko, and Anton Kovalevsky.[1]
