Yuri Vinogradov Leontieva's husband. A frank interview with the son of Valentina Leontieva. The apartment has been changed. Where would she go back

August 1 marks the 95th anniversary of the birth of "All-Union Aunt Valya", who gave herself to the children of the whole country and did not always find time for her own child

She was loved by millions. Children and adults ran to the TV screens to watch her programs - “ Goodnight, kids”, “Alarm clock”, “Visiting a fairy tale” and, of course, “From the bottom of my heart”, under which the country cried.

It seemed that her huge good heart enough for everyone, but at the end of his life the name of the famous Soviet TV announcer Valentina Leontieva bowed mainly in connection with family scandals.

Life before TV

During the war, Leontyeva experienced the blockade of her native Leningrad. Then, after the death of her father in 1942, mother and younger sisters were evacuated to the Ulyanovsk region, and eighteen-year-old Valya remained: there were not enough sanitary maids.

After the war, she tried to acquire a “serious” profession, but her soul did not lie, and in 1948 Valentina graduated from a theater studio, after which she served in the Tambov Drama Theater for two years.

And then something happened that gave millions Soviet people"Valechka" on the blue screen. In 1954, Valentina Leontyeva was cast on television and soon became an announcer. The smiling, natural presenter won many hearts.


Two failed marriages

But Valechka failed to cope with her heart. First, the marriage broke up with her first husband, a radio director Yuri Richard. Then the second husband found a replacement for the eternally busy and in demand wife, Yuri Vinogradov.

He served as an employee of the Soviet diplomatic mission in New York, and there, for her husband, at the peak of her career, leaving everything for the sake of her family, Valentina left. Upon returning to the USSR, Yuri began to drink, according to rumors, he began to have problems in the male part. And when Valentina arranged for him to be treated by prestigious doctors, the husband put himself in order, but had an affair with a younger woman, and the family broke up.

The family was “spoiled by the housing problem”

In family lawsuits, the son took the side of his father. A significant role in that decision was played by children's resentment at the constant absence of their mother. After all, every evening my mother told fairy tales from the TV screen to everyone Mitya. Once he shouted to her that she was not his, but "everyone's mother."

It was said that over the years the boy's character only deteriorated. Forced to live with his mother in the same apartment, he made scandals and made life under one roof so unbearable for his mother that she undertook to exchange her huge "Stalinist" apartment on Bolshaya Gruzinskaya Street. She gave a two-room apartment to her son, but she left a “one-room apartment” for herself.

After the USSR collapsed and television ceased to need "Aunt Valya", this "odnushka" became her kind of pension. Aunt Valya rented out a Moscow apartment and lived in Novoselki with this money Ulyanovsk region under the care of his sister.

They began to divide the inheritance even when Leontieva was alive

Around famous people heaps of relatives and "friends" are constantly swarming. And questions of division of inheritance constantly arise. This cup did not pass and Valentina Mikhailovna.

Sister Galina had views of a Moscow apartment, but the son almost blackmailed his mother to transfer the property to him, after which the apartment was immediately sold, and the money was invested in a quickly burned-out enterprise.

Then Galina called Mitya and said that an apartment was being sold right next to them, saying that her mother needed a separate housing. Dmitry sent the money required for the purchase, the apartment was purchased, Valentina Mikhailovna moved into it.

And then Dmitry accidentally got the information that this housing was allocated to my mother by the local authorities for free. According to his son, he, seeing the commercialism of his relatives, prepared the conditions for his mother to move to Moscow, bought an apartment for her instead of the sold “odnushka”, but did not have time to complete his plan.


Rumors, gossip, intrigue

When journalists interviewed Dmitry, he complained that relatives set his mother against him, spread rumors about his unbearable character.

At one time, the media raised a wave, allegedly, Valentina Mikhailovna moved in with her sister after a brutal beating by her son, who broke her hip neck. And these rumors spread immediately after he did not allow his mother's apartment, which belonged to her after the exchange, to be re-registered to her sister.

All these property squabbles and the progressive illness of "Aunt Valya" caused last years Mother and son had almost no contact. The sister said that Mitya avoided communication, and the son blames Galina for cooling relations with her intrigues, but at the same time claims that he talked with his mother on the phone to the end and the relationship was ordinary, not tense.

Nevertheless, the son did not come to the funeral, and he is still blamed for this. But Dmitry named his son in honor of his mother - Valentine.

Life is often cruel to children famous parents, as if fate takes revenge on the last for something - or punishes for old mistakes

Maria Queen, only daughter Ludmila Gurchenko, who died at the age of 58 in the courtyard of her own house, for almost two decades did not communicate with her mother. Their relationship was strained until the break, and she raised Maria not famous mom and grandma and grandpa. As the Queen once stated in her hearts, she would never forgive Gurchenko for exchanging her family for "grimaces and jumps." Similar tragedies of mothers or fathers and their children unfolded in many star families.

Vladimir Tikhonov, son of Nonna Mordyukova and Vyacheslav Tikhonov

Nonna Mordyukova in the film "Station for Two"

son of the famous Soviet actors Nonna Mordyukova And Vyacheslav Tikhonov from early years knew what it was like to grow up as a child of national idols, and what it was like when parents were at work all the time - for days, or even weeks.

However, after a bright start (Tikhonov Jr. successfully acted in films, worked at the Theater Soviet army, Theater-studio of a film actor, traveled with creative evenings), his career slowed down. In addition, the older he got, the more he understood that the audience would inevitably compare him with his famous father. And the star film - such as Vyacheslav Tikhonov's "Seventeen Moments of Spring" became for Vyacheslav Tikhonov - did not happen in his creative life.

Dmitry Vinogradov - son of Valentina Leontieva

August 1, 2018, where he told the details of his relationship with his mother, and also spoke about relatives, because of which he missed the funeral of his parent.

“I lived with my mother until I was 45. For many, this seems strange, but it is true. We had a good relationship I also got on well with my dad. Mom was very soft, she always spoiled me, and dad, on the contrary, was strict, ”he said.

In the last years of Leontieva's life, Vinogradov rarely visited his mother. But this was due not to their conflict, but to Dmitry's long-standing enmity with relatives. After a spinal injury that Valentina Mikhailovna received through negligence at Ostankino, relatives living in the Ulyanovsk region took care of her. The son is sure that the true goal of the relatives was the money and valuables of the legendary announcer.

Moreover, my mother wanted to be cremated and buried in Moscow, but they insisted on a ceremony in the Ulyanovsk region. I didn't come to the funeral because I wasn't sure I could control myself. I was afraid that I would kill one of these scoundrels, and then we would talk about a criminal case. But justice still triumphed: I wished them death, and they died. You can say that I cursed them, ”said Dmitry.

Dmitry brings up his son, whose name is Valentine - almost like a legendary grandmother.

He was in love with Valentina Leontieva. He courted very persistently, but never achieved reciprocal feelings, both had families. This went on for 10 years. She said: “It was just not my man! It was interesting to communicate with Arkasha, but as a man, he doesn’t do anything for me!

Stanislavsky at the Moscow Art Theater, worked at the Tambov Drama Theater, and then came to television. She first appeared on the screen in 1954. Her debut as an announcer was unsuccessful: she had to read a message on the New Year tree in the Central House of the Soviet Army, and she got so excited that she began to stutter. But that was the only miss. After 10 years, not a single holiday program on central television took place without her participation.

There have been many in her life. romantic stories. Once, in 1945, right after the Victory, Valentina saw a captured German who was digging a trench, and he asked her for bread. She obtained permission to feed him dinner, and 10 years later he returned to the USSR to thank her and propose to her. She refused him, as well as another boyfriend - an Arbat boy who sang songs to her and dedicated poems. It was Bulat Okudzhava. They met 40 years later, when Leontief was asked to invite the poet to a TV show. And a month after this meeting, Bulat Okudzhava died.

Leontieva devoted 50 years of her life to television and called it her own big love. She admitted: “Television was my number one home. She left for work - her son was still sleeping. Came back and was already asleep. She didn’t swaddle, and didn’t even feed. Perhaps this was the reason for their discord in the future. The son rarely spoke with his mother, and in recent years, he did not see each other at all, he did not even come to her funeral.

In her declining years, Leontieva complained: “Television is no longer what it used to be. Then there was more sincerity in people, we loved our work. That is why the transmissions turned out to be sincere and kind. What now? Endless games and shows in which greed, immorality and greed reign."

On May 20, it will be ten years since the death of the star of the programs "Visiting a fairy tale" and "With all my heart" Valentina Leontyeva. She was an idol for adults and children, but there were persistent rumors in the media that she had a very tense relationship with her own son Dmitry. Moreover, supposedly in her old age, Leontieva suffered beatings from her only heir. Dmitry Vinogradov commented on the most common rumors about himself and privacy his mother.

ON THIS TOPIC

Now the man lives more than 100 kilometers from Moscow in his own house. Dmitry is engaged in creativity - since 2011 he has been a professional artist. According to Vinogradov, he "enjoys life" - he reads books, rides a bicycle, swims in a kayak, walks in the forest, works.

To begin with, Dmitry denied the information that he and his mother had a strained relationship. “We had an excellent relationship with my mother. She never scolded me, for example, for bad grades, she never got annoyed, did not raise her voice at me and was always an absolute diplomat. The fact is that she is an extremely well-mannered and educated woman, she does not I could afford to behave like some boorish ones, and as a result, we had a wonderful relationship. big flat allowed us to live completely independently and not interfere with each other," said Dmitry.

According to Vinogradov, his mother was a bright, independent woman who smoked a lot and even drove a car herself. In addition, Valentina Leontieva had a very tough character. Dmitry also noted that his mother had many enemies, "like any famous person."

The man said that he did not have complexes because of the famous mother and he did not feel lonely, as journalists presented him to the public. "Not only did my mother's burden not put pressure on me, but no one blamed me for her fame - everyone was by and large anyway," Vinogradov said.

Dmitry is sure that big influence it was not his mother at all, but his father, an employee of the USSR diplomatic mission in New York, Yuri Vinogradov. "My father is a cheerful, educated, intelligent, encyclopedic savvy person in all respects. Who was never a snob, never surrounded himself with special the right people. He went on vacation for forty years - and even more - to a small seaside town. He was surrounded by academics, drivers, and retired boxers. It was he who taught me to enjoy communicating with all people, without dividing them into estates or castes ... Dad ate and lived with large tablespoons in every way, "Dmitry said.

In the 70s, Valentina Leontieva and Yuri Vinogradov divorced. But. according to Dmitry, he did not worry about their breakup. However, he does not maintain relations with his father's other family. “My mother and father’s photographs are not placed in my house - I think about them, they are in my head and in my heart, and showing them to someone, demonstrating that I remember them, is stupid and some kind of posturing. In general, about the carnival in which I lived since childhood, I would not say that it was so much fun. Mom always played a little - it was in her blood, "Moskovsky Komsomolets quotes Dmitry Vinogradov.

Three years before her death, Valentina Leontyeva went to stay with her relatives in Novoselki. Vinogradov explained that the mother had suffered a fracture of the femoral neck. The host's sister Lyudmila and her daughter Galina volunteered to look after her, offering her to live with them for some time. Rumor has it that this happened as a result of an alleged forceful collision between Leontyeva and her son. “Listen, I’m a boxer, I knock men down with one blow, and my mother was small, fragile ... how do you imagine that? get half of my mother's apartment," Vinogradov is convinced.

As Dmitry said, after the departure of his mother, he began to send her all her pension and salary. Galina also took a lot of furniture from the Moscow apartment. And then interesting things began to happen. “At first it was said that there would be enough space in my sister’s apartment for everyone - and Valentina Mikhailovna, of course, too. After some time, Galina called me and said that an apartment was being sold in their house on the same floor and it would be good for my mother to buy it. I was somewhat surprised by the price of this apartment, but I had no idea that my sister could play some kind of dishonest game with me, and I sent the money. But then I was extremely surprised to learn that this apartment was allocated by the local administration, "- said the son of the presenter.

An unpleasant story ended tragically. “Illegally earned things never bring happiness, and even more so in such a situation. After some time, two of Galina’s sons died, who simultaneously crashed in an accident, and less than a year later, Galina herself died,” said Vinogradov.

It is no secret that while Leontieva lived with relatives, her son did not come to her. He explained it this way: "We talked on the phone with her, talked, I was going to go there, but, on the other hand, she was going to return, everything was already prepared." It turns out that Dmitry bought two apartments for himself and his mother.

When the presenter died, Dmitry Vinogradov was not seen at the funeral. "She wanted to be buried next to her mother. A place at the Vagankovsky cemetery had already been allocated. And the relatives violated her will. And in the future they simply used my mother's popularity to achieve their personal interests," Dmitry said. At the same time, he noted that he was at his mother's grave "one day", before his departure for the Moscow region.

Leontieva was worried that Dmitry had no children. However, Vinogradov became a father at the age of 45, which he does not regret at all. A man does not have a soul in his offspring. "Very smart, very kind, very attentive - the most important creature in this world for me. Besides my son, I have no one, and apart from my son, I'm not interested in anything. He comes to me on vacation, but lives with his mother. Mom - a very good professional makeup artist, and there is simply no work for her here. We ride bicycles with him, swim in kayaks, walk in the forest, read books, and my greatest achievement is that I weaned him off the computer. Nobody believes me, but in fact it is very simple: you just have to deal with it," Vinogradov is convinced. At the same time, Dmitry does not know how he sees his son in the future.

Vinogradov explained: “I want him to be the way he wants to be. I have no right to indicate here. He has the right to live life as he sees fit. I can give him some advice, but in no case put pressure Crushed, enslaved people who live in some kind of non-existent stamps that they built for themselves, therefore, whatever he wants, he will do.”
