Valentina's sister Leonteva Lyudmila Mikhailovna: the only son of Valeki never visited the grave of his mother. Son Valentina Leontheva gave a frank interview Biography Valentina Leonteva

Ten years ago, May 20, 2007, the favorite TV presenter of the Soviet Union died. Aunt Valya from "Visiting a fairy tale", Valekka from the program "From the heart" and news television shows. And on the passport - Valentina Mikhailovna Leontiev. It rarely happens that adults and children can be adored from the TV. However, Aunt Valya is just such a special example of universal love.

But it is possible that the nationwide worship she would gladly exchange for the love of the only thing an important person In life - native son.

In recent years, before the death of Valentina Mikhailovna lived her ear in a small village near Ulyanovsky. About their relations with her son went different rumors - up to the most monstrous. Shuffling about the unbearable character of Dmitry Vinogradov (the boy took the surname of the father-diplomat), even on the cases of the assault on his part in relation to the legend of the Soviet TV. And when Leontyeva died, her son disappeared at 10 for long years. They rummed that he went abroad. But the "MK" managed to find the heir to the first lady of the Soviet television screen very close to the capital. And even call him on a frank conversation.

I'm sitting in beautiful two-story house More than one hundred kilometers from Moscow. In front of me Sedoborochy huge man With steel eyes, something similar to the viking. This is the son of Aunt Vali, Valentina Leonteva, Dmitry Vinogradov.

- Why did you leave Moscow, given that you are a purely city person and have lived in megalopolis?

From Moscow I was going to leave in 2005. And Mom offered to leave. I live in a very beautiful big house in the woods in the old Russian city, environmentally friendly, wonderful. I left because all the normal people at a certain age are leaving to live in nature. And who remains in Moscow - banal losers.

- What are you doing here?

With his work, his work, draw pictures, read books, I ride a bike, swimming on the kayak, walk through the forest - I enjoy life. In all its manifestations.

Said not last role Journalists played from Moscow in your departure. They walked you strongly when Valentina Mikhailovna preferred to move away from you, to a relative in the houses.

When journalists began to annoy, I already bought this site. This house I brought to mind for two years. And the fact that it seems to journalists is normal, because they always seem to them. That they are journalists.

If you remember how your name in the media has risen many times, "didn't you want to justify? Just say: everything is wrong, guys.

Justify those who feel their guilt. And to justify? Before journalists, before relatives? I do not see that group in front of which I should justify, and in general, I don't care deeply that I think about me.

- Then let's in order. It is believed that you had stretched relationship with my mother.

We had excellent relationship with my mother. She never scolded me, for example, for bad marks, never annoyed, did not raise his voice on me and was always an absolute diplomat. The fact is that she is an extremely brought up and educated woman, she could not afford to behave like some Khameki. And as a result, we had wonderful relationships. And a large apartment allowed us to live completely independently and do not interfere with each other.

How much did Valentina Leontiev in life differ from his image on the screen? For example, did it have bad habits?

She was a bright, independent woman. In our family, when I was small, there was a black car "Chevrolet" - "Shevi", as Americans call it. Valentina Mikhailovna even went to her herself south. She smoked a lot, sometimes reached two packs per day. True, Kurila Malboro - at the same time she never had a bundle, the voice always remained young and ringing. My mother was a thoroughbred man.

- And at the same time amazingly soft and friendly ... or is it part of Teleimide?

I was told that my mother is a rather hard man. But this is natural! She worked on television from the end of the 50s - and there can not survive a finest person. Valentina Mikhailovna had a large number of enemies like any famous man. Moreover, when the so-called restructuring began, I immediately explained my mother: most of the roads on television ordered for her. She is a person of one country, and now - a completely different country. Therefore, people like Leontyev, Kirillov, Shilov, Morgunov, Zhiltsov, Pechorina, are all talented speakers - not to do business, because we went along the path of American television. Thank God that now the times are changing and our country becomes a great empire again.

- Are you a supporter of the empire?

I am definitely a supporter of the empire, because my father was a diplomat, Mom - the Trubadour regime, and I was brought up in understanding that we have the biggest, the best and most great homeland.

You loved to portray a lonely boy, who earned complexes because of the famous mother. For example, Valentina Mikhailovna jealous to other children who she told fairy tales on the night from television.

This is just one of the fool wrote, and other fools picked up. I felt absolutely normal soviet child. I traveled to the Soviet pioneer camps before the sixth grade, spent a lot of time on the street with my friends. Not only that I didn't give me the cargo of my mom, but no one was put on her fame - everyone was big account does not matter.

- And therefore, you, the son of famous parents, were at school at the Kalibr factory?

Just next to our house was a school from the Kalibr plant.

- In general, often changed schools?

Well, how often ... in the first class I went to the Shabolovka. In the second grade - already on the avenue of the world, where there were three houses for televisers.

- Parents called to school? How did you generally behave in school?

In school, I led myself normally, because each "crook" - exactly from the letter Z - poke into the face: you, they say, such a mother, and you do so badly. And, like any normal boy, I wanted to come even worse. I was the only one did not make a Komsomol of three classes.

- What motivated?

No way dislike for Soviet power. We have never had transistors at home, which broadcast Radio Freedom. We never had a fifth column at home, and therefore simpleness in Komsomol was not related to politics. Just the charter - it was a nonsense mare, which was necessary to memorize. And I can't afford to teach the nonsense of a silent mare.

- And you told it to teachers?

I told them that Komsomol was a voluntary business. Then, of course, I joined the Komsomol. Before entering the institute, I worked on television illuminator. And somehow on Monday, they pushed me into some sort of stuffy room, there someone voted, and after some time I was given a Komsomol ticket - so I was nominally, I was still a Komsomol. But I have never been configured against Soviet power. I generally think that being configured against power is equal to madness and, sorry, urination on the bare wires.

- But did the parents were party?

Mom was non-partisan.

- I wonder how it was possible to work by a speaker on the Soviet television, not being a member of the CPSU?

Apparently, it was the case when the talent outweighed the significance of this. In addition, there were such people in our empire, as indicative non-partisan - that is, they were allowed to leave abroad. And on the other hand, I assume that in the personnel department, when she was sent abroad, they were so confident that she was partying, which did not even put this fact. That is, there is some kind of political anecdote - I can say that many non-partisan people occupied high posts. And it was not necessary to be a communist to be in power.

Well, your father, an employee of the USSR diplomssee in New York, could not be non-partisan. By the way, you are insanely at him look incredibly easy.

My father is a cheerful, educated, intelligent, encyclopedically targed in all respects. Which was never a snob, never surrounded himself special necessary people. He went to relax for forty years - and even more - to a small seaside town. Academicians and drivers, and retired boxers surrounded him. It was he who taught me to enjoy precisely from communicating with all people, without making them a class or caste ... Dad eating and lived with big tablespoons in all respects.

- Which parents had a greater impact on the formation of your character?

Of course, dad. How can influence the boy mom?

- sometimes it happens.

This is in painful cases. And so the son takes everything from his father, in a different way, and can not be.

- wrote that the divorce of parents was seriously affected. After all, you were already adults when they divorced.

So much worried that even went south with dad and with a father's future wife.

- She was not his wife yet?

I already understood that the dad was going to marry her. The fact is that in our family everything was built on respect for each other and freedom. If I were a stupid egoist and wild manI could say dad: how like mom and so on? But, on the other hand, what is the difference, with whom Dad communicates with? That is, it absolutely did not touch me, I did not experience any negative emotions to my father's passion.

- And with Valentina Mikhailovna you communicated about this? She probably worried ...

She probably did not immediately recognize, but I did not even ask me because I understood that I would never pass dad.

- Do you support relationships with that family?

I do not support. I have a sister, it works out somewhere abroad, probably married. I think that it is good. Probably, if the son had a son, I would communicate with him, and my sister is somehow not interested.

You told at one time that the only thing that wanted to keep myself in memory of the dad is a stack (a small wand used as a whip - approx. Aut.), Divated to him Javaharlal Nehru. Why?

You never know what I wanted ... I would be glad to get it when I had stupid ambitions, but in fact it no longer matters. My mother's and father's photos are not placed in my house - I think about them, they are in my head and in my heart, but to show them to someone, demonstrating that I remember them about them, it's stupid and some kind of poserness.

In general, about the carnival in which I lived since childhood, I would not say that it is so fun. Mom always played slightly - it was in her blood.

I want to touch the painful story - Valentina Leonteva departure to relatives in Novoselki for three years to death. Why did this happen?

Mom went to the houses because he received a classic injury for people of this age - she broke the neck of the thigh.

Just fell? Actually, there is a commodity version that during your family sorry It came out ... how would it be softering ... before applying force.

Listen, I am a boxer, I will break the men with one blow, and my mother was small, fragile ... How do you imagine it? What about nonsense?! In general, rumors that I beat Mother, the relatives began to spread - after they could not get half the mother's apartment.

- Well, back to the injury of Valentina Mikhailovna.

She did an operation in the Kremlin, everything went well, but the question arose: you need to invite a nurse, and it will inevitably attract the attention of journalists and so on. And here the aunt Lucia, Mine sister, and her daughter Galina offered some time Valentine Mikhailovna live with them.

- Did you already disappear then?

No, we lived together, just going to touch. Accordingly, when the mother left in the new stalls, I began to send all her pension and salary, quite decent money. In addition, Galina took a bunch of furniture from our apartment. She arrived in the new stalls with Kamaz, who was scored under the urban. Romanian retreating army would not score as many trophies. I, in general, it was anyway - we changed the apartment, I had to leave everything somewhere.

Now about housing. At first it was said that the places in the apartment of Sisters would be enough for everyone - and Valentine Mikhailovna, of course, too. After some time, Galina called me and said that the apartment was sold in their house on the same floor and it would be good to acquire it. I was somewhat surprised by the price of this apartment, but I did not think that my sister could lead some kind of dishonest game with me, and I sent money. But then it was extremely surprised, learning that the local administration was allocated this apartment.

- How did you find out?

This was said on one of the TV shows. And all this turned into a banal fairy tale about fisherman and fish. And it ended in the end sadly, because dishonest things earned never bring happiness, and even more so in such a situation. After some time, two sons of Galina were killed, who simultaneously crashed in the accident, and less than a year later, Galina died.

- Died from a heart attack, as they say.

Well, what's the difference how the gods take away. Slip the asphalt, stop the heart. Because it is always necessary to say their actions with the desire of the gods.

- Your strained relationships with relatives were one of the main reasons why you did not go to the mother?

She was talking on the phone, communicated, I was going to come there, but, on the other hand, she was going to return, everything was already prepared.

- The apartment was exchanged. Where would she return?

I bought her apartment on Tverskaya, and myself on a big academic.

The greatest number of complaints were made to you journalists for the fact that you did not come to the funeral Valentine Mikhailovna in May 2007.

No one, especially the borzos, is not entitled to judge that I should, but what I should not do. But if we talk about her death ... She wanted to be buried next to her mom. Place by Vagankovsky cemetery It was already allocated. And relatives broke her will. And in the future they simply used the popularity of my mom to achieve their personal interests.

- They tried to communicate with you after the death of Valentina Mikhailovna? Called?

Yes. I understand, after the death of the mother, they were extremely disappointed that I did not give them half of the Moscow apartment. As the French say, appetite comes while eating.

- Well, they also remained an apartment in the houses, which was purchased.

And even considerable money. They got an apartment and money. They got an apartment, money ... and death.

- And you, it comes out, do not even know where Valentina Mikhailovna is buried?

I was at the Mother on the grave to the same day - it was before departure to the Moscow region, in 2012. Naturally, I did not go to relatives.

Aunt Valya worried that you do not have children. Nevertheless, there are rumors that the grandson still has. Can you say something about your son?

Yes, her grandson is. I have a wonderful son, and I was very lucky that he was born when I was not 20 or 30 years old, but 45. Very smart, very kind, very attentive - the most important thing for me is a creature in this world. In addition to the son, I have no one, and besides my son, I'm not interested in anything. He comes to me on vacation, and lives with mom. Mom is a very good professional makeup artist, and for her just there is no work. We ride here on bicycles, swim on kayaks, walk in the forest, read books, and the greatest achievement - I excused it from the computer. No one believes me, but in fact it is very simple: you just have to do it. And we give a computer, as a rule, when we cannot and do not want to engage in the child. I want and I can, so the computer does not need a computer.

- What would you like to see him when he grows? Look like you?

I want him to be the way he wants to be. I am not entitled to specify here.

- But every parent dreams of some future for a child ...

This is an ordinary primitive parental egoism. He has the right to live life as it seems necessary. I can give him some kind of advice, but in no case to put pressure. Pressy people clamped, fixed, who live in some non-existent stamps that have built themselves; Therefore, what he wants, that will be engaged.

- From what moment would you be able to call yourself an artist? Or have you always been?

Probably always. This is part of me, but I am not interested in anyone as an artist (professionally, grapes began to draw in 2011 - it was then bought it with the first picture. - Approx. Aut.).

- Local residents Do you know whose son? Did it affect your communication with them?

They learned about it not so long ago. And it did not affect anything, because the further the man lives from Moscow, the more decent, everything is accustomed to this. There is a lot of comrades, which I know for 12 years and who do not have the idea of \u200b\u200bmy Mother. I prevented this knowledge more than it helped.

One of the paintings of Vinogradov. As one of his close friends says, Dmitry, being a full heir to the Russian avant-garde, more specifically - Suprematism, managed to catch the pace modern life And not to lose the philosophy. Under its paintings, it is good to meditate, they either likely like, or cause sharp rejection. In the paintings of Vinogradov, an extremely peculiar energy, and very strong.

- What is your circle of communication now? He narrowed?

Over the years, the number of friends from any normal person decreases. If the number of friends increases - it is an aggressive schizophrenic. Over the years normal person It is becoming more and more self-sufficient and picks up the people closest to him. Accordingly, before death, a normal person should be completely alone.

Who can you put on the current television next to Valentina Mikhailovna - by professionalism and delivery manner?

I am not very well familiar with modern TV - I have cable TV, I look at some historical TV channels, and the federal channels do not look at all. Probably B. lately Something began to change, because we are starting to build a completely new society with a completely new country. Will appear national idea Television will change. That's when we build an empire, then we will have such programs as "from the whole soul", and people like Valentina Leontiev will appear. Because such people give rise to empire. And creates the empire.

Leontiev Valentina Mikhailovna

People's Artist of the RSFSR (1974)
People's Artist of the USSR (1982)
Winner of the USSR State Prize (1975)
The laureate of the "Tefi" premium in the nomination "For personal contribution In the development of domestic television "(2000)
Cavalier Order of the Honor Sign (1973)
Cavalier of Friendship Order (1998)
Awarded the medal "For the defense of Leningrad"

At school Valya always participated in artistic amateurHe played in a dramah, in the sixth grade ranked first in the Titsov competition, who was held among Leningrad schools. During the war, Valentina Leontiev survived the blockade of Leningrad. About their parents who were indigenous Leningraders, Valentina Mikhailovna told: "Dad was older mom for 20 years, I loved him insanely. Years later and I, and sister, going married, in memory of him they retained maiden Familia. I remember wonderful musical evenings with contests, balas and masquerades in our house, when dad played a violin ... "

After the war began, Valentina Leontyev and her sister during the blockade was recorded in the air defense squad. But soon in the city there was a lack of food, and their 60-year-old father became a donor to get extra pieces for rescuing daughters from hunger. Once, during the dismissal of furniture on the firewood, Mikhail Leontyev damaged his hand and he began to infect blood. Daughters took him to the hospital, and there he died. About Valentina Leontiev's time told: "In 1942, they opened the" road of life ", and we decided to leave. I, mom and sister Lucy saved. Lucin's son, whom she gave birth at the beginning of the war, died on the road, her sister did not even give him to bury him. She buried the body of the kid in the nearest snowdrift ... "

Valentine with mom and sister Lyudmila were exported from blood Leningrad In the village of Novosylovka in the Ulyanovsk region, from where Valentina after graduation, with honors, together with Mom came to Moscow. Valentina Leontyeva told: "My mother and I moved in 1945, immediately after the victory, to Moscow from Leningrad. The city was solid catacombs: everywhere barriers from tanks, destroyed at home, trenches, who were digging the captured Germans. Once I walked near such a trench. Suddenly, dirty thin hands stretched from under the ground. The German looked at me by pleading eyes: "Bread, give bread!" I looked at his hands and slaughter: such thin, long, beautiful fingers are only in pianists and violinders. Strong the guard so that he allowed me to feed this German. He was led to our home, I poured him soup. He first ate very slowly, I didn't even raise my eyes to me - I was afraid. Then a little Osmpel, asked where my parents. I told that Dad died in the Leningrad blockade from the hungry psychosis and my mother stayed with us alone (she saved us, forcing smoking, so that I wanted to eat less). Tears appeared in front of her eyes, he did not reach dinner, got up and left. And two years later, our door was called. On the threshold stood the same German. True, now it was not at all the chumadic and skinny, but washed, combed, dressed in a parade suit, quite a cute young man. Next to him stood elderly woman. He smiled at me and said: "I could not forget you, so I came with my mother to make you an offer." I refused him, because I could not get married for the enemy. Then his mother began to cry and told me for goodbye: "Baby, you will not even imagine what you mean for me. You saved my son from hungry death. I will thank you all my life. "

In Moscow, Leontiev entered the Chemical Technology Institute named after Mendeleev, but soon ceased to learn and began working in the clinic. And later he entered the Schepkinskaya school, and at the same time - to the opera-dramatic studio named after Stanislavsky at Mkate. In 1948, the novice actress Valentina Leontiev was interested in the main director of the Tambov Theater of Vladimir Galitsky his vitality and spiritual openness. Leontyeva, at the meeting, said Galitsky: "I am a graduate of the MHAT Studio, a student of Vasily Osipovich Toporkova. He graduated from this year and want to go to the periphery. " Vasily Toporskov was a student of the Great Stanislavsky, and it was worth a lot. Vladimir Alexandrovich offered a beginner actress to come to Michurinsk, where then toured the Tambov theater. Valentina Leontiev took advantage of the director and entered the Tambov theater troupe, where he served several years.

In 1954, Leontyeva returned from Tambov to Moscow, and successfully passing competitive tests, was hired on television. Vitaly Zaicin said: "On audition, Valentina Mikhailovna was asked to read the libretto" Swan Lake ". "Why do I need a piece of paper, I myself know how!" - answered Leontheva. The Commission was amazed how good Leontyeva tells, and she was taken by a speaker. But since all the positions of the speakers were occupied, Leontyev was issued as an assistant director.

Leontyev hardly overcame stiffness in the frame and about his first live air remembered with shudder. That day her, as a young foreman, was urgently called in the studio and instructed to read the message. Leontyeva told: "The director solemnly counted into the microphone:" Three minutes left before the transfer ... two minutes, "and I died from fear. As a result, the audience saw my peashed from excitement. With difficulty, staring, read the text. Then they told me that in an hour some major television chief called: "What was it?! He shouted. - To this on the air I have not seen! " But the speaker of the All-Union Radio Olga Vysotskaya passed for me. "

The troubles of the young leading on it did not end. For example, during the maintenance of one of the "lights" heel, Leonteva shoes were firmly stuck during a direct ether in the floor, putting Leontyev in a very difficult position. But happened with Leontape and other, more dangerous situations. During one of the animal programs, Leontiev baked a bear. The director of Caleria is acid, who worked with Valentina Mikhailovna for many years on Shabolovka, said: "Once a circus team came to our studio, they brought with them many animals. There was a charming little bear. And Valya loved the children and animals very much, and she simply did not come out of this bear. I was just a director of Ether and in the middle of the program noticed that she wrapped his wrist with a nasal handkerchief. It turns out that this bear was biting her hand. But she even did not give her mind and brought the program to the end - he understood that the entire Soviet Union was watching on her. And when the program ended, I had to call "ambulance" - she was very bad. "

And yet the new profession was mastered Leontheva rather quickly, and the audience soon began to answer the attention and love of the new leading various programs, and very soon Leontheyev became a universal favorite of the Soviet Union. She regularly led "Blue lights" and reports from Red Square, the cycles of journalistic gears "from the whole of the heart", which collected near the TV is all the adult population of the country, and with which she comes over fifty cities in Russia. Leontheva deserved the confidence and respect for the head of Gosperary Sergey Lapina. And thanks to this, she could afford a lot that it was impossible for others. For example, Leontyev refused to maintain the main information program - "Time". Actually, she did not have much need. The transfer of "from the whole of the heart", which told about human destinies, was no less exciting than movies. Meetings of people after many years of separation, unexpectedly the relatives and friends who have scattered their lives in front of the TV day, collected millions of television viewers before the screen.

Kalery Ozekov said: "I saw the Valya seriously treated everything, as studied names, surnames, dates and facts. In no case could it be confused that this is Ivan Ivanovich, and this is Maria Petrovna, he from Moscow, she is from Tambov. And during the war they met near Stalingrad, and then never saw each other. In each release of the program there were several plots, and all of them had to be remembered to the smallest details. The leading did not have the right to fuck something, because people trusted the program of particularly expensive moments of their lives. Leontyev and herself worried with everyone. No wonder the program was jokingly called "Clean with us, cry, like we, cry better than us."

Sincere Valentina Leonteva's transfer manner, really, has repeatedly caused tears of joy, and for this viewers loved Valentina Mikhailovna more than any other speaker or lead. When, once Valentina Mikhailovna rushed into a taxi to the Shabolovka and took out money to pay, the driver, turning around, said: "I do not take from my money. When I have a birthday - you are my guest when I pain - you visit me. My children want to listen to a fairy tale, and you come again ... "And it was true - the children were looking forward to the appearance on the screen of the aunt of the Aunt Wali in the transmissions" skillful hands "," alarm clock "," Good night, kids! " And especially - "Visiting a fairy tale", which she led almost half of her life.

Valentina Leontheva dedicated a very touching poem of Bulat Okudzhava.

His heart
as in an abandoned house window,
Locked tightly
here is no longer close ...
And went for you,
because I am destined
I am destined in light
wanted you.
Years go
years still wander
I believe:
if not this evening,
Thousand years will pass -
i will find anyway
Somewhere on some
street meeting ...

Valentina Leontyeva told: "After moving from Leningrad, our family settled on Arbat. Somehow, being visiting familiar who lived in one of the neighboring houses, I met Bulat Okudzhava. He then was a unnoticed guy vertically challenged And rather shy. He even wrote one poem especially for me, but there was nothing personal, intimate there. We were very good friends with him, no more. Then the fate spread us in different cities. After graduating from the Studio Studio, the MHAT went to the Tambov Theater, where he worked for two years, and Bulat went to look for happiness in Leningrad. We met with him only fifty years. " This happened at the beginning of the nineties, when in one of the programs the editor asked Leontiev: "Valentina Mikhailovna, we need to transfer Okudzhava - call him, because you were once ever familiar?" "How so - suddenly call?! After all, we have not seen so many years! To be imposed by a person who has long forgotten about me! Yes, I have no phone! " - Leontyev was focused. But I decided to call. The tube shot a bout. "Bulat ... Sorry, I don't know how to call you: on you, on you .." - "Who is it?" - asked Okudzhava irritably. "You just do not hang the phone, listen to me at least a minute and a half," and she read dedicated to her Okudzhava never published a poem. A few days later, Leonteva had a concert in the CDRI, and in the first row she saw Bulat Okudzhava with his wife. She descended from the scene and sat down in front of him. Later, Leontheva told: "I didn't even imagine that he would come, - and suddenly! .. We just looked at each other and almost cried. On his last book, he wrote to me: "We met in 50 years." I am scary now that we have lost these forty years, without seeing each other - how much could it be otherwise! " But the Bulat Okudzhava died a month after they met with Leonteva.

And millions of spectators continued to love her, and she replied to him, because herself loved the work on television, like no other. She was convinced that she was very lucky in life: "Fortyly elderly years ago, I pulled out this win-win lottery ticket, on which" television "was written. And giving the fifty years of his profession, I am completely convinced that there is only one purely "human" profession on television, whose representatives communicate directly only with the audience, are speakers. "

Vitaly Zaicin told: "Valentina Mikhailovna had a unique memory. She could not remember that she did a minute ago, but if we asked her, as the name of the woman who was looking for a long time, she immediately, without thinking, could even remember the difficult name like Kamshat Kobdozimovna Dudinbayeva. "

Valentina Leontyeva told: "I never slept on the eve of the program. Only fifty two nights I spent in painful thoughts. I was afraid to forget something, thought out options in case that something goes wrong. And every time the most unexpected puncture arose! For example, I never knew how to detect the heroes of the transfer that were to sit in the auditorium. I was given a piece of paper with chairs, but I could not walk live and look behind the backs! Then I stayed near a row, where there was a "raised duck", and told about the fate of this man, translating a look from one viewer to another. Almost always in my eyes, I could define my hero! "

With all its great popularity, Leontyev did not consider himself a star, he worked a lot, and confessed in an interview: "I never suffered a star disease, I was uncomfortable to use some privileges. I remember, I stand somehow in the store in line for products, and it was at the time of the total deficit - then the numbers were still on the palms. The people learned me and began to push to the counter. In the crowd rolled: "Leontyeva, Leontiev". The director of the store will run away and almost forcibly starts me to the warehouse. What was just not there! I left two bags, but I refused them. How would I look into the eyes of hungry people if they saw that I would go out from the rear porch with two cars? "

But Leontheva loved to help. once elder sister Valentina Leontheva Lyudmila, who worked as the main economist in the state farm, handed over the request of the director of the state farm to somehow help in obtaining just appearing and allocated strictly on the Foundations of seeders. Valentina Mikhailovna went to the Minister agriculture THE USSR. The minister accepted it immediately: "Valentina Mikhailovna, dear, how to finish this flashlight? My contestants looked at something and now they do not give rest, "the official's leading transmission will be asked. Leontyev explained. As a result, the minister and TV presenter broke up, very satisfied with each other. The minister learned how to teach the grandchildren to make lanterns, and 20 deficient seedlocks went to the state farm.

Caleria Ozekov said: "She did not receive any special material benefits. Valya lived for a very long time with her mom in a communal apartment. Opposite the television center on Shabolovka built a house, and many television drivers gave room in it, including her. What an event was! True, when foreign journalists arrived in 1962 (it seems, from the German "Spiegel"), came out funny story. Leontyev as a star of Soviet television, they wanted to rent at home: how hosts where he spends his free time. Valya was then very worried: it is impossible to take such guests in a communal! And some kind of her friend to let dust in the eyes, offered his just a renovated one-room apartment. "

Leontyeva herself also told about this case: "I came, I washed my hands in the bathroom, then frowned eggs in the kitchen - I portrayed myself a skillful mistress." And everything seemed to be fine. But before leaving the Germans asked: "Valentina Mikhailovna, and where do you sleep?". For them, it was not clear how this famous TV presenter can live without a bedroom. "Oh, girls, you imagine," she laughed, "I thought that I would show them a class, and they hodged me!".

Only ten years after this story, Leonteva was allocated a separate apartment. And in 1982, Valentina Leontyev was awarded the title of People's Artist of the Soviet Union. In the same year her mother died. Valentina Leontyeva told: "I came to her dying, to the hospital. "I'm cold, hug me," the mother asked. And so, on my hands she died. And the next day I needed to fly on the shooting of the program "From the heart" in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. And in the way I have - heart attack. And after the transmission - faint. So I do not like my mother. Therefore, I still believe that it is alive and near. There is a tribute to human - go to the funeral. I understand that this is sinner, but I can not follow her. When I see a coffin, I immediately turn and leaving away. I'm not ready to reconcile with death. "

Valentina Mikhailovna was married twice. With his first husband, Yuri Rishar Leontheva met in the Tambov theater, and he also transported Leontiev to Moscow. In the incomplete three years, their marriage collapsed. Later, Lyudmila Leontheva (sister) told: "After graduating from the studio, it was distributed in the Tambov Regional Theater. He played a lot, she had a "heroine". And then a young director came there, he set her a graduation performance there. They liked each other, got married, and he took the curls to Moscow. With Moscow theaters, she somehow did not work out, and here they announced a competition for television. She decided to try: suddenly it turns out, - as a result, I found myself a job for life. Valya very quickly became popular. She took the spectators sincerity, simplicity of communication, seemed to have been in the soul, - she had such a talent from God. "

With his second spouse Valentina Leontiev met with fun circumstances. She told: "In one of the Moscow restaurants, a high handsome brunette approached me. His friend presented this handsome as English Guest Eric. With the so-called Englishman, I told (through the "translator") and pulled the whole evening. The next day, the "Overseas Guest", Eric called me home and in a pure Russian asked for forgiveness, said that he argued with a friend that I would buy on his draw. In fact, his name is Yura, he works as a diplomat, so he knows English so well. After many apologies and explanations, Yura said that I would like to meet with me again in real image. Soon we got married. "

They lived together 28 years. Yuri moved to her small room in a communal apartment, where there were only a bed, a chair and several nails, on which the famous television leads were hanging. And on January 26, 1962, Valentina Leontyev was taken away from work on the "ambulance" in the hospital, where she had a son, whom she called Dmitry.

Valentina Leonteva's girlfriend - Lyudmila Tueva told: "Valya wanted a child, but it was all once - the television sucking. In 39 years, not everyone will decide to give birth. And three days after the birth, she won on the ether. The upbringing of Little Miti fell on the shoulders of Mom - Catherine Leonteva. Mom will support the curls always: help memorize texts at night, do homework for her, settle conflicts with her husband. "

Two years after the birth of the Son, the program "Good night, kids!". "Because of the work, I didn't lose my son," I admitted later Valentina Mikhailovna. - Television was for me home number one. It went to work - the son still slept. Returned - already slept. Not pelenal, and not even fed. "

Family life With the second spouse, Valentina Leonteva also did not work out. Leontyeva told: "My grapes fell ill on the male part, I arranged it in the best clinic on Finnish bay. And he very soon cured, falling in love with a young nurse ... There were me the romance on the side of him. My husband drank a lot, but I also wanted to be a woman. So there was every reason to change. "

Kalery Ozekov said: "Her husband was a diplomat, worked as a personal translator of Khrushchev, then he was sent to some diplomatic mission to New York, it seems to be in the UN. And then there was such a law (however, it seems, it exists now), that it was necessary to go be sure to go. Valya pulled how much could. And then it was still forced to leave. I remember how she came to the editor to say goodbye. "I don't know how I will live there," spoke with tears in his eyes, - without work, without television! " However, she lived behind the ocean for a long time: they removed Khrushchev, and soon the robine husband was recalled. Somehow I come to work - she sits. We had a big room, and all - the authors, editors, directors gathered on her "lecture on America". According to her, everything seemed there to someone else. A particularly strong impression on it was made by moms, walked in the park with children. "I am amazed," she said, "that the child may fall, hit, cry, and his mother will not even behave:" Nothing will rise! ". This is the system of upbringing. And since I was thrown to Mita all the time, they looked at me, to put it mildly, with surprise. " And in English, she did not speak, unlike the Son, who very quickly found a common language with American children. "

Sister Lyudmila Leontieva told that at one time Valentine was in love with the leading Yuri Nikolaev. And one day he strathed on the air - appeared in drunk Before millions of viewers. He was immediately removed, but Leontyeva asked him, and Nikolaev recovered. But he did not help later Tete Vale in response. She told: "When you fall in love, then you take a basin, make yourself a harakiri, throw out the insides and put it all under the south of the Uchager. And it grows it. There must be some kind of mystery in a woman. And from the first day I was afraid to lose a man. I gave them gifts, and they me - only flowers, and then occasionally. I gave them phones, helped "knock out" the apartment. So hurry sometimes on a date that my own entrance was waiting for half an hour to first not come. "

Vitaly Zaicin told: "Only we and Brother Valentina Mikhailovna admitted that Arkady Rykin was insanely in love with her. They met on one of the "blue lights" in St. Petersburg and after the filming went to wander along the embankments. Raikin did not reduce all the way with her admiring eyes and was very confused. "I always liked you on the screen, but in life, Valya, you are a hundred times better," the actor confessed. After a few days later he arranged a "business trip" to Moscow. And I was waiting for her after every ether in the "Ostankino" corridors with a huge bouquet of flowers. Then Rykin began literally to pursue the TV presenter, constantly breaking between Moscow and Peter. Between family and marching. Valentine was also married to Vinogradov, the son of Mitu raised. And Arkady never achieved a response feeling, although he walked for her for desperate actions. After all, he only because of Leontyeva achieved the opening of his theater in the capital (and, by the way, "knocked out" the building near Ostankino, on Sheremetyevskaya Street). In general, all this lasted ten years. From Valentina Leontiev with Arkady Raykin looked like good friends. "Just not mine was a man! It was interesting to communicate with Arkasha, and as a man he me, well! " - explained Leontiev. However, the actor's spouse has long suspected the wrong in this strange friend. Finally, the charter to put up, she stopped all their communication, putting her husband before choosing: "Or I, or Leontiev." And Rykin lowered his hands. "

Since 1989, Valentina Leontiev became a speaker-consultant television, and also wrote the book "Explanation in Love". Readers have great popularity, since millions of viewers were interested to know what the famous aunt Valya was interested in life. So, for example, it became known that Leonteva's beloved desk book was Alexander Milna's fairy tale "Winnie Pooh and everything, everything, everything." She really liked never the descent character of a teddy bear, who infected others with his optimism.

The same character was herself, and very keen her in complex situations. So, for example, one day two Radio correspondent played with Valentina Leontian evil joke. They argued on the champagne box, finding out: what kind of hearing is about Vysotsky or Leontiev - it takes from Moscow to Vladivostok faster. The means of communication was chosen a shed radio. As a result, the news was hit by the news that Valentina Leontiev's diplomat, while in America, entered into a criminal connection with the CIA. And she had to make me justify for this wild entrance later in every interview and before the bosses. But Valentina Mikhailovna treated such rumors with humor: "I and the CIA agent! What can be absurd?! I had another vacation, and I decided to visit my husband, who at the time worked in the States. Just at that time closed the transfer "from the whole soul": one boss decided that this program was outlived. And, apparently, since no explanation followed, the people came up with that "from the whole soul" was closed because of my relations with American intelligence. "

But it was innocent trifle in comparison with what surprise was prepared by Leonteva Russian television during the restructuring. Vitaly Zaicin told: "The director who came to the perestroika for television, took off all her broadcasts in one day:" Good night, kids! "," Visiting a fairy tale "and" from the whole soul. " Valentina Mikhailovna he invited himself to the office and suggested her retirement. What immediately received the answer: "I'll hang on the chest plate with the inscription" in my death to blame the boss "and a league under the tram at the VDNH!" Then she was translated "per frame" to the post of assistant director. And when we met her - and at all appointed a consultant to the Survival Department. "For that, I have a whole life of Moll language, in order to be explained with gestures in old age," Leontyeva ironed.

In 1999, with a new scenario of the program "From the whole soul", Leontiev again came to television. Vitaly Zaicin told: "We wanted to revive all Leonteva programs. At first she, and when it became uncomfortable, we already hurt the thresholds of the television center. "If you are ready to pay for your speeches on the air at promotional prices, then please: a minute - five thousand dollars," said Leontyev former head. She was ashamed to admit that for the sake of ether, she is ready to change even appearance. After all, everyone was ready to write off Valentina Leontiev from television. Somehow we were together on a banquet, and Nain Yeltsin approached Valentina Mikhailovna. He kissed her cheek, coped with the health and affairs of pressing. And having heard about the problem of aging, said that he would recommend best doctors in area plastic surgery. Naina kept the word, and Soon Valentina Leontiev lay down under the knife. But only in order to return to the screens. To her unique technology burned the upper skin layers with wrinkles. At the time, this procedure cost us in a round sum - fifteen thousand dollars. When she was brought, there was a gypsum mask on the face, to feed in the first days Valentina Mikhailovna accounted for almost through a pipette. "The main thing is that the cigarette gypsum in the hole in the hole is!" - Our avid smokers warned in advance. When the mask was removed, the face looked like burnt. And he hesitated for about a month. Valentina Mikhailovna looked amazing - she was rejected for twenty years. But the miracle of transfiguration, she banned us strictly-setting, even native sisterWith which they were very close, did not know anything. "What did you do with our Aunt Valeya?" - Dmitry Dibrov jumped to us. "They are here with nothing, I just burned in the sun!" - cut off Leontiev. " New posts have not suggested the new posts. Then she desperately and recorded the cassette appeal to President Boris Yeltsin, which we sent to his administration. Apparently, some orders were given, because after that Valentina Leontyev began to invite to interviews. First, Ernst, then Dibrov. Then they thought to return the program "Visiting a fairy tale" and changed Leontteva Image. Dressed in a funny outfit - like Mary Poppins, from which Valentina Mikhailovna came to horror. But what you can't do for the sake of art! Then she was presented new scenario "Heartily". Leontheva tried to teach him and stated after six months: "I will not succeed, my memory is not the same." In 1997, the Telescope program was published, which Leontheva led, but she lamented in the ranking for long. Finally, Valentina Mikhailovna took on the radio, where she led their author's program. "

"Vladimir Pozner saved me from a humiliating poverty," said Leontiev later - he overturned for me general Director ORT Konstantina Ernsta lifetime salary. "

When Valentina Mikhailovna was 80 years old in 2003, she said in an interview: "I love television, I love my colleagues with whom I lived on the side of the Tens of years, I love my audience, who still write to me letters, and greet me on the street . I love my life and I do not feel at all, although some constantly hint at him. They write that I see nothing, I do not go out of the house that I'm going to die. This is all lies! When I was sent an invitation to the next ceremony of Teffi, first did not want to go, but when I read about my imaginary illness, I got together and went for the people to see: Leontyev alive and Healthy. I got out of the car and told the audience to the audience: "Look, my dear, on me, please, and tell me, I look like a dying?" Everyone was crushed. "

In 2004, Leontheva moved to the village of Novosylovka in the Ulyanovsk region, where her sister lived. The move was required after Valentina Leontiev was injured while falling in his apartment on a large Georgian street. After the fall, the pains in the spine did not initially attached much, but two weeks later lost consciousness on the street. Fortunately, a man who passed nearby saw that a woman became bad, and caused ambulance.

Having woke up to the Central Support, Valentina Mikhailovna learned the diagnosis of the compression fracture of the 12th vertebra. "When I was discharged from the hospital, I suddenly discovered that I had some kind of failures in memory," said Leontiev. She could not get used to the apartment, confused the room, sometimes did not recognize her son. "Mitu very annoyed that I confuse him with other people," Valentina Mikhailovna recalled. - withdrawing him of myself my helplessness. "

After the experienced troubles and the complex operation, Leontva needed constant care, and Sister Lyudmila took her to her to the Ulyanovsk region. In Novoselki Valentina Mikhailovna settled in a one-room apartment with a glazed loggia in the usual village five-story building. Floor above her sister Lyudmila lived. Leontyeva recognized that, leaving the capital, counted soon return, but it did not happen.

"Valentine was needed permanent assistance," said Sister Leonteva Lyudmila Mikhailovna, - and her son Dima - a man busy, could not care about the mother as necessary ... She had a hard injury: she fell in his Moscow apartment, he had hit her head very much. broke the neck of the thigh. And that's why it's a shame: she never sick, she didn't even have an outpatient card. Well, except for a couple of times he turned to his precinct doctor about banal influenza. And here is suddenly. Doctors did everything they could and warned us that she would have serious problems with her head. Currents wanted to give to the nursing home, but I did not allow. Valya said: "Only to the Lyus!". We provided her excellent conditions, there would be anything anywhere else: and caught, and they prepared everything she asked. Valya adored pasta. The first channel helped us a lot. For example, they transported here the entire situation of her Moscow room, so that she would not feel lonely in someone else's place. It was her bed, and a comedian, and a dressing table, and books, baubles, albums with photos she treated. When we took her, the doctors warned that she would not last for more than a year, and she still lived for three years. "

Caleria Ozekov said: "Why she left in the houses, you can also understand. She could no longer be serviced, and there lived her relatives. Nibyans and sister, who older than her, took all the troubles. There created a Valentine Museum Leonteva, the governor's local she was very worked out ... So Valya was happy and demanded until the very end of life. Yes, in his personal plan it did not work out: she was divorced with her husband, he went to another city. "

The fact that Leontyev saw on TV, it often sincerely frustrated: "Television is no longer anything that was before. Then there were more sincerity in people, we loved our work. Therefore, the transmission was sincere and kind. What now? Infinite games and shows, in which the greed, immorality and thirst for profit. I recently turned on the TV and stumbled upon the "windows". What a frozen program! Such television should not be. And what did you do with "spokes"! I am on the talentless, trying to watch the fake beauty to watch disgusts! "

When Leontyeva lived in novice, she had a great impaired, and she did not leave the house. Vitaly Zaicin told: "Valentine's old age was very bad, she was diagnosed with Cataract. In order to protect against blindness, Leontyeva was supposed to lie on the operation to the Institute of Microsurgery of the Eye. Operating it was caused by Fedorov himself. And she suddenly demanded an ordinary doctor from the conveyor, which makes forty operations per day. "Your Fedorov - and politician, and teacher, and he probably forgot how people cut! But how to say, not offended by him, I do not know. It is better to stay blind, "the aunt Valya said."

For the last two months of his life, she did not get out of bed. Wragging Leontiev from unnecessary anxiety, sister fence it from interviews and visits to journalists. "I don't want me to see such - the sick and aged," said Leontheyev herself, "let me remember me young and beautiful, like on television screens ..."

Lyudmila Leontieva told: "I saw that she lacks people, communication. Well, B. last year Already not before that: she was getting worse and worse, she did not always recognize us with her daughter. And then I got sick with inflammation of the lungs and burned literally in a few days. "

"I always considered myself her student, honored for the honor and happiness to work with Valentina Mikhailovna," said the partner Leontheva on Ether Igor Kirillov. - I also remember first of all as the ideal and sensitive partner on Efira. It has always been reliably, even live. She could help at any time, picked up and save the situation in the conditions of the rigid force majeure. She became a beloved, close and native - in a word, for millions of television viewers. Because it was on the screen itself - natural and emotional. "

The leadership of the first channel took over the organization of the funeral. The sister abandoned the proposal to transport the body to Moscow, and Valentina Leontyev buried on the village cemetery. About a thousand inhabitants of the village came to say goodbye to the TV presenter, Alexander Orlov came from Moscow - Student Leontva, Actor Andrei Dellekov and Girlfriend Leonteva Lyudmila Tueva. The relatives of Leonteva received telegrams of condolences from a huge number of people - from the president Russian Federation to ordinary television viewers. Eduard Sagalayev talked about Leontyev: "This is a whole epoch in domestic television, with her name, the appearance in those years is fundamentally new profession TV presenter. "

Once in Volgograd in places where the battles were and there were trenches, Valentina Leontiev saw a little birch and said: "She grown on the blood." The last request of Valentina Mikhailovna - her trees should grow in her grave ...

Valentina Leontiev was installed in Ulyanovsk monument.

The leading "good night of kids" and "Visiting a fairy tale" is called the most popular and at the same time the most unfortunate Soviet TV presenter. The history of her difficult relationship with the son of Dmitry, several years ago, bypassed the entire press.

For the sake of working on television, it was ready on a lot. They said that years later, Valentina Leontheva bitterly regretted that he was not like the son of maternal love ..

Queen Ostankino

She led the famous "blue lights", commented on the solemn broadcasts from Red Square and various official events, was the leading program "Over the whole soul", famous "visiting a fairy tale" and "Good night, kids." Television was for Valentina Leontoyeva to everyone, and few knew that at the birth of the "Aunt Vark" called very differently - Alevtina, and her last name was different - Torch.

Mother and son

Returning, she appeared on the screen again. But personal life gave a crack. Perhaps her husband began to bother that he practically sees his wife, then, after their divorce, there were rumors that the decision to divorce him had a ripe long ago - but he was afraid that it would spoil his career. They said that due to the family problems of grapes, at one time was addicted to drinking, began to look for attention on the side.

They divorced, soon Yuri married again, his daughter was born.

"Aunt Mur", as Little TV viewers called Leontiev, adored all preschoolers and young students. Every evening they saw her on the screen, each time the TV host with a good mother smile told and "showed" a fairy tale for the night. But native son Valentina Leonteva Dima fairy tales from her heard little, his mother spent too much time at work and was much more busy than his mother classmates.

Lonely star

In 1989, 66-year-old Valentina Mikhailovna became a speaker consultant. And in the 90s, with the arrival of the new leadership, it turned out to be not at the affairs: it was removed from all programs. In the early 80s, the TV presenter was already removed from the ethers - the joke of humorists, as if Leontyeva, the English spy, the leadership took seriously, the test began. Fortunately, then "Aunt Cur" quickly returned to the screens.

One of the colleagues told that in 1997, when it was planned to revive the transfer of "all soul" dreaming again on the TV presenter's screen, which was already 70, said: "Want to screen - do the operation." And Leontyev did, risking to get a lot of complications, decided on deep chemical peeling. Then she really got old on her eyes - the truth is to launch changed his mind. Valentina Leonteva had to go away from television - first on the radio, and then at all, retired.

Dmitry Vinogradov lived with her mother up to 40 years old - not yet married. They said that the relationship between them was very complex. Journalists, referring to the TV presenter colleagues, wrote that by telephone Dmitry often Hamil Mother, demanded money, Leontyev after communication with him often looked upset and crying. The TV presenter girlfriend assumed that his behavior was an adult son "smelled" his children's resentment.

Different truth

In 2004, Valentina Mikhailovna fell into the hospital with a brain concussion and a fracture of the hip neck. There was a rumor that there was an injury to the TV presenter. Vinogradov comments did not give. Then, already 10 years after the death of the mother, the man interrupted his many years of silence, tolding in one of the TV shows that Valentina Leontiev simply "fell at home." The man suggested that rumors about the assault on his part began to spread relatives after they failed to get half the apartment Leonteva. He also explained why the last years of the life of the star of Soviet television lived not in Moscow, where she had an apartment, and the sister in small settlement in the Ulyanovsk region.

According to Dmitry Vinogradov, after Valentina Mikhailovna discharged from the hospital, she needed serious care - and relatives suggested that she moved to them. He agreed with this proposal, deciding that she would be better with close people than with a nurse. True, the son of Leonteva noted, subsequently it turned out that relatives were not quite honest.

Familiar TV presenters said that Valentina Leontheva dreamed at the end of his life so that her son visits her. And he only called. She died on May 20, 2007, in 83, and without waiting for this meeting. At the funeral of Dmitry Vinogradov, either was also not. According to him, the circumstances have developed.

Not so long ago, Valentina Leontiev's son said: Talk about the fact that he grew up unfortunate, offended, deprived of maternal love with a child, "Full Brad." This confession is contrary to the fact that it is written about the famous TV presenter and her relationship with the Son - including on the basis of memories of familiar Leonteva. Vinogradov in recent years lives with family in the suburbs, draws pictures, leads a fairly closed lifestyle. He called his son Valentin.

August 1 marks 95 years since the bottom of the Birth of the All-Union Aunt Vali, which gave herself to children of the whole country and did not always find time for own baby

She loved millions. Children and adults fled to television screens to see her programs - "Good night, kids", "alarm clock", "Visiting a fairy tale" and, of course, "from the whole of the heart" to which the country cried.

It seemed that her huge good heart had enough for everyone, but at the end of life the name of the famous Soviet TV announcer Valentina Leonteva Deserted mainly due to family scandals.

Life before tv

During the war, Leontiev was worried about the blockade of her native Leningrad. Then, after the death of the Father in 1942, Mamu was evacuated to the Ulyanovsk region with younger sisters, and eighteen-year-old Valya remained: lacked sandprints.

After the war, he tried to acquire a "serious" profession, but he did not lie to her, and in 1948 Valentine graduated from the theater studio, after which two years served in the Tambov Dramaatet.

And then it happened what gave millions soviet people "Valechka" on the blue screen. In 1954, Valentina Leontiev passed casting on television and soon became a speaker. Smiling, natural presenter conquered many hearts.

Two unsuccessful marriages

But with his heart I could not cope with Valek. Initially, marriage was collected with the first husband, radio moderator Yuri Richarom. Then the second husband found the replacement of the forever busy and in demand wife, Yuri Vinogradov.

He served as an employee of Soviet diplomices in New York, and there, behind her husband, at the peak of his career, throwing everything for the sake of the family, Valentine left. Upon returning to the USSR, Yuri began to drink, according to rumors, he began to have problems on the male part. And when Valentina arranged him for treatment to prestigious doctors, the husband brought himself in order, but spun a novel with a woman's woman, and the family broke up.

The family "spoiled the apartment question"

In family litigation, the son took the side of his father. A significant role in the decision was played by children's resentment for the permanent absence of Mom. After all, every evening mom told fairy tales from the television screen to all whoever in the next, but not MITE. Once he shouted to her that she was not him, but "all mom."

They said that over the years the character of the boy only spoiled. Forced to live with mother in the same apartment, he rolled the scandals and made life under one roof so unbearable for the mother, that she took the exchange of his huge "Stalinist" apartment on a large Georgian street. The son gave a two-room, he left the "odnushka".

After the USSR collapsed and television ceased to need "TEK VALE", this "odnushka" became her peculiar pension. Aunt Valya passed the Moscow apartment and lived on this money in the new settlers of the Ulyanovsk region under the supervision of his sister.

To share the inheritance began with Living Leonteva

Around famous personalities There are constantly pile of relatives and "friends." And the inheritance is constantly issued. Not passed the bowl of Sia and Valentina Mikhailovna.

Sister Galina He had species on the Moscow apartment, but the Son almost by blackmail forced her mother to rewrite real estate on him, after which the apartment was immediately sold, and the money was invested in a rapidly burned enterprise.

Then Galina called Mita and said that the apartment was sold directly next to them, they say, mom needs separate accommodation. Dmitry sent money required to buy, the apartment was acquired, Valentina Mikhailovna moved to her.

And then to Dmitry randomly reached the information that this housing was allocated by mom by local authorities for free. According to the son, he, seeing the mercantility of relatives, was preparing the conditions for moving the mother to Moscow, bought an apartment for her in return sold "odnushki", but did not have time to bring conceived to the end.

Rumors, gossip, intrigue

When the journalists took the interview from Dmitry, he posted that relatives set up their mother against him, had rumors about his unsuccessful character.

At one time, the media raised the wave, allegedly, Valentina Mikhailovna moved to her sister after the son of beating the son, who broke her the neck of the thigh. And these rumors crawled immediately after he did not give a mamina to her sister an apartment belonging to her after washing.

All these property grain and progressive disease "Aunt Vali" have caused the fact that in recent years the Son and Mother's son has practically communicated. The sister said that communication avoided Mitya, and the son of vinit in cooling relations Galina with her intrigues, but at the same time it claims that she communicated to the end with her mother on the phone and the relationship was ordinary, not tense.

Nevertheless, the son did not come to the funeral, and this is still in the guilt. But the son of Dmitry called in honor of the mother - Valentin.

Two years after the birth of the son, the program "Good night, kids!" "And the aunt Valya lasted to sleep millions of Soviet children live every day, while her Mitya spent time with his grandmother and dad, and did not like this transmission very much. Because of his intense work, Valentina Mikhailovna spent a little time at home, and only sometimes herself assigned his son to kindergarten. Once, when she brought her son drawings of other children from the program "Visiting a fairy tale," and said: "Look, Mitenka, how beautiful the other kids paint" - the boy happened hysterical. He broke the sheets and ran away. "Because of the work, I didn't lose my son," I admitted later Valentina Mikhailovna. - Television was for me home number one. It went to work - the son still slept. Returned - already slept. Not pelenal, and not even fed. "

Family life with the second spouse, Valentina Leonteva also did not work out. Leontyeva told: "My grapes fell ill on the male part, I arranged it to the best clinic at the Finnish bay. And he very soon cured, falling in love with a young nurse ... There were me the romance on the side of him. My husband drank a lot, but I also wanted to be a woman. So there was every reason to change. "

Sister Lyudmila Leontieva told that at one time Valentine was in love with the leading Yuri Nikolaev. And once he suffered on the air - he appeared in a drunk in front of millions of television viewers. He was immediately removed, but Leontyeva asked him, and Nikolaev recovered. But he did not help later Tete Vale in response. She told: "When you fall in love, then you take a basin, make yourself a harakiri, throw out the insides and put it all under the south of the Uchager. And it grows it. There must be some kind of mystery in a woman. And from the first day I was afraid to lose a man. I gave them gifts, and they me - only flowers, and then occasionally. I gave them phones, helped "knock out" the apartment. So hurry sometimes on a date that my own entrance was waiting for half an hour to first not come. "

Vitaly Zaicin told: "Only we and Brother Valentina Mikhailovna admitted that Arkady Rykin was insanely in love with her. They met on one of the "blue lights" in St. Petersburg and after the filming went to wander along the embankments. Raikin did not reduce all the way with her admiring eyes and was very confused. "I always liked you on the screen, but in life, Valya, you are a hundred times better," the actor confessed. After a few days later he arranged a "business trip" to Moscow. And I was waiting for her after every ether in the "Ostankino" corridors with a huge bouquet of flowers. Then Rykin began literally to pursue the TV presenter, constantly breaking between Moscow and Peter. Between family and marching. Valentine was also married to Vinogradov, the son of Mitu raised. And Arkady never achieved a response feeling, although he walked for her for desperate actions. After all, he only because of Leontyeva achieved the opening of his theater in the capital (and, by the way, "knocked out" the building near Ostankino, on Sheremetyevskaya Street). In general, all this lasted ten years. From Valentina Leontiev with Arkady Raykin looked like good friends. "Just not mine was a man! It was interesting to communicate with Arkasha, and as a man he me, well! " - explained to us aunt Valya. However, the actor's spouse has long suspected the wrong in this strange friend. Finally, the charter to put up, she stopped all their communication, putting her husband before choosing: "Or I, or Leontiev." And Rykin lowered his hands. "

From 1989, Valentina Leontiev became a speaker-consultant television, as well as wrote the book "Explanation in Love". Readers have great popularity, since millions of viewers were interested to know what the famous aunt Valya was interested in life. So, for example, it became known that Leonteva's beloved desk book was a fairy tale of Alexander Milna "Winnie Pooh and everything, everything, everything." She really liked never the sad character of the ivy bear, who infected others with his optimism.

She was the same in nature, and very kept her in difficult situations. So, for example, one day two Radio correspondent played with Valentina Leontian evil joke. They argued on the champagne box, finding out: what kind of hearing is about Vysotsky or Leontiev - it takes from Moscow to Vladivostok faster. The means of communication was chosen a shed radio. As a result, the news was hit by the news that Valentina Leontiev's diplomat, while in America, entered into a criminal connection with the CIA. And she had to make me justify for this wild entrance later in every interview and before the bosses. But Valentina Mikhailovna treated such rumors with humor: "I and the CIA agent! What can be absurd?! I had another vacation, and I decided to visit my husband, who at the time worked in the States. Just at that time closed the transfer "from the whole soul": one boss decided that this program was outlived. And, apparently, since no explanation followed, the people came up with that "from the whole soul" was closed because of my relations with American intelligence. "

But it was innocent trifles in comparison with what surprise was prepared by Leonteva Russian television during the restructuring. Vitaly Zaicin told: "The director who came to the perestroika for television, took off all her broadcasts in one day:" Good night, kids! "," Visiting a fairy tale "and" from the whole soul. " Valentina Mikhailovna he invited himself to the office and suggested her retirement. What immediately received the answer: "I'll hang on the chest plate with the inscription" in my death to blame the boss "and a league under the tram at the VDNH!" Then she was translated "per frame" to the post of assistant director. And when we met her - and at all appointed a consultant to the Survival Department. "For that, I have a whole life of Moll language, in order to explain gestures at old age," the aunt Valya iron. "

In 1999, with a new scenario of the program "From the whole soul", Leontiev again came to television. Vitaly Zaicin told: "We wanted to revive all Leonteva programs. At first she, and when it became uncomfortable, we already hurt the thresholds of the television center. "If you are ready to pay for your speeches on the air at promotional prices, then please: a minute - five thousand dollars," said Leontyev's former boss. She was ashamed to admit that for the sake of ether, she is ready to change even appearance. After all, everyone was ready to write off Valentine with television, as outdated equipment. Somehow we were together on a banquet, and Nain Yeltsin approached Valentina Mikhailovna. He kissed her cheek, coped with the health and affairs of pressing. And hearing about the problem of aging, she said that he would recommend the best doctors in the field of plastic surgery. Naina kept the word, and Soon Valentina Leontiev lay down under the knife. But only in order to return to the screens. To her unique technology burned the upper skin layers with wrinkles. At the time, this procedure cost us in a round sum - fifteen thousand dollars. When she was brought, there was a gypsum mask on the face, to feed in the first days Valentina Mikhailovna accounted for almost through a pipette. "The main thing is that the cigarette gypsum in the hole in the hole is!" - Our avid smokers warned in advance. When the mask was removed, the face looked like burnt. And he hesitated for about a month. Valentina Mikhailovna looked amazing - she was rejected for twenty years. But she barely banned us a miracle of transformation, even a native sister, with which they were very close, did not know anything. "What did you do with our Aunt Valeya?" - Dmitry Dibrov jumped to us. "They are here with nothing, I just burned in the sun!" - cut off Leontiev. " New posts have not suggested the new posts. Then she desperately and recorded the cassette appeal to President Boris Yeltsin, which we sent to his administration. Apparently, some orders were given, because after that Valentina Leontyev began to invite to interviews. First, Ernst, then Dibrov. Then they thought to return the program "Visiting a fairy tale" and changed Leontteva Image. Dressed in a funny outfit - like Mary Poppins, from which Valentina Mikhailovna came to horror. But what you can't do for the sake of art! Then she was given a new scenario "From the whole soul." Leontheva tried to teach him and stated after six months: "I will not succeed, my memory is not the same." In 1997, the Telescope program was published, which Leontheva led, but she lamented in the ranking for long. Finally, Valentina Mikhailovna took on the radio, where she led their author's program. "

"Vladimir Pozner saved me from the humiliating poverty," said Leontyeva later - he overturned for me from the Director General of Ort Konstantin Ernsta Lifestyle Salary. "

In 2004, Leontheva moved to the village of Novosylovka in the Ulyanovsk region, where her sister lived. The crossing took after that Valentina Leontiev was injured during a fall in his apartment on a large Georgian street. After the fall, the pains in the spine did not initially attached much, but two weeks later lost consciousness on the street. Fortunately, a man who passed nearby saw that a woman became bad, and called an ambulance.

Having woke up to the Central Support, Valentina Mikhailovna learned the diagnosis of the compression fracture of the 12th vertebra. "When I was discharged from the hospital, I suddenly discovered that I had some kind of failures in memory," said Leontiev. She could not get used to the apartment, confused the room, at times did not recognize her son. "Mitu very annoyed that I confuse him with other people," Valentina Mikhailovna recalled. - withdrawing him of myself my helplessness. "

About the relationship of Valentina Leontyevoy and her son described in detail Vitaly Zaicin with a colleague Nikolai Ozersov: "We met with the Molds, even when they lived together with Valentina Mikhailovna. An intelligent man, over four years older than me. He even went with us to the country and drank tea, but he did not let into his world. It cost us when it was talking about television, as Mitya either came out of the room, or fell into the mother: "You have already retired, where you will take you! And you do not drive, why take her soul! " And that very cassette with congratulations on his birthday, he stole and threw out on the garbage. Aunt Valya so cry! He himself preferred to lead religious conversations, complied with all the posts and generally considered himself a high-dimensional person. What did not knit with his attitude to the mother. Mitya was a late child, Valentina gave birth to his thirty-seven years. For a while she fed him herself, but then she handed the brazers of the Babushka rule. After years later, she asked her mother for me for forgiveness: "As I am to blame that everything dumped on you." And Mitya may have become such due to the fact that his granny him was too bald. True, when the boy turned two years old, Leontyev with the Vinogradov took him to New York, and then almost ten years wandered with her son in abroad. Almost ten years early childhood, Mitya completely spent with her mother, used to it, that she was near. And when the family returned to Russia, Leontyev again went to television, where she had a career takeoff. She took Mitu on concerts several times, but when he saw someone else's children, the children are happily applauding his mother, pulling her hands to her and scream: "Aunt Valya! Aunt Valya! " - began to jealous and closed. "I don't want to walk with you, you're not mine, but all my mom," Mitya was offended. Over time, his jealousy to other children only grew. And he wrapped with hatred for television ... She told how the son was studied to smoke when they found a cigarette ash in his pocket. He invited him to the kitchen and offered to smoke together: "Tighten it deeply so that the smoke from the nose has fallen." Mitya breathed and rushed to the toilet, where he was stuck. But since then the cigarettes did not take the mouth. Mother watched his estimates at school, later tried to arrange him to work. First on television, but he dug away from it. Then he took him to model Agency The glory of Zaitseva, but when it sounded from the speakers that the clothes demonstrate the son of Aunt Vali, Mitya threw this occupation. Apparently, everything that was connected with the mother's work, it was annoyed. The son tried to discover some kind of business on which he spent all the money pending with his mother (and even his retirement he had taken his pension, as evidenced by Valentine's sister). " Mitya lived in some kind of closed world, closed from mother in the room and did not tell her about his personal life. And the girl who later became his wife, met the future mother-in-law pretty funny. She went to the kitchen from the Mityy room, saw aunt's aunt, of course, he learned her and asked: "Oh, and what are you doing here?" It turns out that Mitya did not tell his girlfriend who his mother. And about plastic surgery Valentina Mikhailovna begged us to tell him. But Mitya himself guessed everything and again brought her mother with his hysteries to tears: "You're crazy! What did you fix it? " Valentina Speakly said: "Television for me is a house." Because of this, she had no real house, family. Mitya could go on a business trip and do not tell anything to the mother. Then Valentine began to go crazy, call acquaintances, morgue. And when the son returned, she didn't even swear, he was just happy that he was alive. Sometimes Mitya took all the money from the mother and disappeared again. It happened that and loaf loaf was not what to buy. But for her who survived the blockade, the most terrible in his life was hunger. "How much I have never, I can never find an opportunity," said Aunt Valya. She suffered so much that he began to think from despair: and wasn't it damaged on her boy? Prior to this, Valentina Mikhailovna has already dealt with healers ... and Nikolai then took her to psychic - thought, maybe it will be easier for it. He gave her some kind of probitive potion, which it was necessary to mix her son. Aunt Valya fulfilled all instructions, after which the relationship with the militants really got better. Total months for three. But then as if the pendulum swung in the opposite direction: the son all prepared to disappear forever. At first, he proposed to exchange their four-room apartment in the center for two in the outskirts. Leontyeva agreed, not even asking why he accepted this decision. But after all the documents were decorated and a section of the property, the mother of his son did not see anymore. And Valentina Mikhailovna shy to overturn wires. Having lost everything, she began to fade very quickly. I even thought to commit suicide. I was going to tap the tablets, even everything was already prepared ... But at the last moment they called the door - the niece came from Ulyanovsk. "

The fact that Leontyev saw on TV, it often sincerely frustrated: "Television is no longer anything that was before. Then there were more sincerity in people, we loved our work. Therefore, the transmission was sincere and kind. What now? Infinite games and shows, in which the greed, immorality and thirst for profit. I recently turned on the TV and stumbled upon the "windows". What a frozen program! Such television should not be. And what did you do with "spokes"! I'm on the talentless, trying to eat a false beauty Oksana Fedorov Watch disgusting! "

For those three years that Leontyeva lived in Novoselki, the son never visited her, and did not even want to talk on the phone. Valentina Mikhailovna was very hard for the separation and hoped to see his son to the last, but her dreams were not destined to come true. Meanwhile, Valentina Mikhailovna was increasingly disturbed by the worsening health. She had a great impaired eyesight, and she did not leave the house.

Vitaly Zaicin told: "Valentine's old age was very bad, she was diagnosed with Cataract. In order to protect against blindness, Leontyeva was supposed to lie on the operation to the Institute of Microsurgery of the Eye. Operating it was caused by Fedorov himself. And she suddenly demanded an ordinary doctor from the conveyor, which makes forty operations per day. "Your Fedorov - and politician, and teacher, and he probably forgot how people cut! But how to say, not offended by him, I do not know. It is better to stay blind, "the aunt Valya said."

For the last two months of his life, she did not get out of bed. Wragging Leontiev from unnecessary anxiety, her sister fence it from interviews and visits to journalists. "I don't want me to see such - the sick and aged," said Leontheyev herself, "let me remember me young and beautiful, like on television screens ..."

Lyudmila Leontieva told: "I saw that she lacks people, communication. Well, in the last year, it was no longer before: she was getting worse and worse, she was already with her daughter did not always recognize. And then I got sick with inflammation of the lungs and burned literally in a few days. "

The leadership of the first channel took over the organization of the funeral. The sister abandoned the proposal to transport the body to Moscow, and Valentina Leontyev buried on the village cemetery. About a thousand inhabitants of the village came to say goodbye to the TV presenter, Alexander Orlov came from Moscow - Student Leontva, Actor Andrei Dellekov and Girlfriend Leonteva Lyudmila Tueva. The relatives of Leonteva received telegrams of condolences from a huge number of people - from the President of the Russian Federation to ordinary television viewers.

The son of Leonteva did not come to the funeral. Vitaly Zaicin told: "Mitya was aware that the mother dies. But when we called him and asked to talk or arrive, I answered dryly: "I will try." It remained cold, and when we told how much tears sheds the aunt Valya. And the funeral did not appear. Even the sister had heard anything since then. Although he always guided his father's grave. And we, the godparents of Leonteva, are trying to put a monument every year in Moscow, but the government does not give good. There is no place in the capital for the popular Soviet leading ... "To the words of Vitaly Zaicina, only add the words of Eduard Sagalaeva about Leontyeva:" This is a whole epoch in domestic television, with her name, the appearance of a fundamentally new profession of the TV presenter in those years.

Once in Volgograd in places where the battles were and there were trenches, Valentina Leontiev saw a little birch and said: "She grown on the blood." The last request of Valentina Mikhailovna - her trees should grow in her grave ...

Monument Valentina Leonteva was installed in Ulyanovsk.
