Leonid Yakubovich was born on July 31, 1945 in Moscow. His father, an engineer by profession, worked as the head of a design bureau, and his mother was a gynecologist. Their acquaintance took place during the Great Patriotic War, when Rimma Semyonovna was engaged in sending parcels to the front. One of them fell into the hands of Captain Arkady Yakubovich. When he opened the bundle, it contained knitted mittens, but both were for one hand. He wrote back to the girl, and soon they met and got married.



Parents from childhood taught Lenya to independence. He did well in school, but in the eighth grade he was expelled for absenteeism. The point was this. Back in the summer, Leonid and a friend came across an ad that said they were recruiting for an expedition to Eastern Siberia. The parents, reluctantly, let their son go. Deep in the taiga, members of the group were testing mosquito repellents. They worked "for live bait": they smeared the body with various creams and entered cases of mosquito bites into the diary. The expedition dragged on, and Yakubovich "missed" the start school year. Returning to Moscow, he learned that he had been expelled from school.

Leonid was not taken aback and entered the evening school. In parallel, he got a job as an electrician at the Tupolev plant. So flew by youth Yakubovich. When it came time to choose a profession, he expressed a desire to become an artist and without any problems entered three theater university! But there was still a long conversation to be had with my father. Arkady Semenovich, a man of the old school, advised his son to first get some kind of specialty, and then go to the artists. And Leonid listened to his father.

So Yakubovich ended up at the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering. But he did not forget about his dream. Leonid began to play in the Theater of Student Miniatures and KVN. Two years later, he transferred to the Engineering and Construction Institute. V. V. Kuibyshev, since, according to him, there was good team KVN. Yakubovich calls his student years the most fun in his life: a constant feeling of celebration, funny companies, trips around the country, first love ... It was then that the future showman met his first wife Galina, who was a soloist of the Gorozhanki ensemble. In 1973, their son Artem was born.

Unsurpassed TV presenter

The artistic career of Leonid Yakubovich began in his student years, when he performed in KVN teams. After graduating from the university, Leonid worked for six years at the plant. Likhachev, and then another three years in the commissioning department. All these years he did not cease to engage in dramatic activities, which consisted in writing short stories.

In 1980, Yakubovich became a member of the Moscow playwrights' committee. His creations gradually gained popularity, but due to the fact that they were performed by other artists, few people knew about him. For example, his miniature "Sergeant's Monologue" glorified throughout the country young artist Vladimir Vinokur. Leonid wrote about three hundred works, which were brilliantly performed by Vainarovsky, Petrosyan, Vinokur. In addition, his plays "Tutti", "Hotel with ghosts", "Ku-ku, man!" were widely known.

Real fame came to Leonid Yakubovich in 1991 after the release of the program "Field of Miracles". Now it seems strange, but then no one believed in the success of this project. The idea of ​​creating the program came to Anatoly Lysenko and Vladislav Listyev when they saw the American program "Wheel of Fortune" in one of the hotel rooms. The first issue of the capital show took place on October 25, 1990. During the year, the "Field of Miracles" was hosted by various presenters, including Leaves.

According to Yakubovich, once Vlad Listyev came to him and offered to take the program for himself. From surprise, Leonid Arkadyevich was taken aback, but promised to think about it. After much persuasion, Yakubovich nevertheless agreed, and on November 1, 1991, he made his television debut as the host of the Field of Miracles. Despite the fact that at first he did not succeed in many things, over time he was able to captivate the audience and elevate the program to the rank of a cult.

Best of the day

Of course, Yakubovich owes a lot to Vladislav Listyev, who brought him to television. Possessing a professional flair, Listyev realized that the Field of Miracles capital show would become popular if it had a charismatic presenter. And I made no mistake with the choice. Thanks to his charm, sincerity and kindness, Yakubovich quickly became "their" person for many families. He is the only TV presenter who has remained popular for over twenty years.

Of course, such an energetic and efficient person as Leonid Yakubovich could not pass by the cinema. And although most of his roles are small, each of them is very bright and memorable. He made his film debut as a showman in 1980, playing in the film Once Upon a Twenty Years Later. Since then, he has appeared in more than twenty films.

In the 90s, Leonid Yakubovich broke up with Galina. His second wife, Maria, gave birth in 1998 to a daughter, Varvara. And two years later, Leonid Arkadievich became a grandfather - his son Artem had a daughter, Sofia, from his first marriage. The Field of Miracles host loves spending time with his family and says he tries to give his daughter and granddaughter a good upbringing.

Yakubovich has many hobbies. He is an avid car aficionado and has even competed in safari car races. And since the 90s, the showman began to master the profession of a pilot. Among his achievements are many flights and participation in the first aerospace Olympic Games which took place in 1997 in Turkey. In addition, Leonid Arkadievich is professionally engaged in billiards, loves skiing, cooking, preference, collects old books and coins.

Leonid Yakubovich keeps up with the times, but nevertheless calls himself a conservative person. According to him, good man does not change in any direction. However, this does not mean that he should not perceive something new or improve himself. If a person has been honest and poor all his life, and then suddenly became rich, but his attitude towards people has not changed, then he is good. And the more such people there are, the better life will be.
