Galina Loginova was born on 28 October 1950 in Tuapse, located on the Black Sea, to a Russian family from Tula. Her father was a Soviet Army officer and her mother was a homemaker. Her parents divorced and she was raised by her mother in Ukraine. After graduating from high school in Dnipropetrovsk (then a city in the Soviet Union, now in Ukraine) she studied acting in her native Tuapse, then moved to Moscow and attended the prestigious acting school at VGIK (All Soviet State Institute of Cinematography, now Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography). In 1971, while still a student, she made her film debut in the popular TV series Teni ischezayut v polden (English: "Shadows Disappear at Noon"). In 1972 Loginova graduated from VGIK as an actress, from the master-class of Vladimir Belokurov. She worked on stage as well as in film and on television in the Soviet Union. Her most notable works were roles as Beatrice in Mnogo shuma iz nichego (1973), a film adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, and as Molly in the criminal drama Milliony Ferfaksa (1980), based on Alan Winnington's The Fairfax Millions.
