Grzhibovskaya was taught by Svetlana Mozer (mother of
Nina Mozer) in a large children's group in Moscow until
Tatiana Tolmacheva took the young skater in her own group. In the 1967–68 season, Grzhibovskaya won the Soviet national ladies' title and placed 12th at the
1968 European Championships. She was then sent to the
1968 Winter Olympics in
Grenoble, where she finished 16th. She then joined
Stanislav Zhuk. The following season, Grzhibovskaya placed 14th at both the
1969 European Championships and
1969 World Championships. Unable to adapt to his authoritarian style, she left Zhuk's group and joined the Kiev Ballet on Ice, where she skated for 23 years. In the early 1990s, Kukhar began a coaching career in
Kyiv. Her former students include: •
