Personal life of Leonid Yakubovich:

First wife - Galina Antonova, guide VDNH. They met at the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute. An intelligent and calm girl Galya performed in the vocal and instrumental ensemble "Citizens", and student Lenya was an activist in the emerging game of KVN. Once, at an outdoor concert in Issyk-Kul, a guy noticed a soloist and decided to start a conversation with her.

"Lenya transferred to us from the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering. We studied at different streams: I - at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, and Yakubovich - at the Faculty of Heat and Gas Supply and Ventilation. Studying was never his strong point especially mathematics. Lena immediately had to go to the theater and engage in KVN, but his dad, Arkady Solomonovich, graduated from construction. KVN, in 1961, was only in its infancy and was perceived as something frivolous, a hobby, "Galina Antonova recalled.

They signed in the registry office, and the wedding was held at the National restaurant. Gennady Khazanov was a witness at their wedding.

Galina Antonova - the first wife of Leonid Yakubovich

Married on April 5, 1973, a son was born - Artyom Antonov, graduated from the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute. Kuibyshev and the Academy of Foreign Trade, works on Channel One. He has a daughter (born 2000) - Sofya Petrova.

"As a man, Lenya was secretive, he never showed jealousy, and there was nothing like that. I'm very jealous. Like public person, Leni always had fans. They came to me even after the divorce: with letters, parcels. I was hiding, but sometimes I gave the TV phone number. People came from afar. Thank God there were no crazy fans. Maybe they appeared in another house. I liked Lena manhood. He could calm down, like: “You know what, never mind!”. If we consider Lenya as a father, I can say one thing: it’s good that he didn’t molest the child and didn’t climb with his nonsense. Yakubovich always had a crazy number of friends, and he was more busy with them than with his son, "said Yakubovich's first wife.

Second wife - Marina Yakubovich(nee - Vido), works in the television company "VID". Married on March 28, 1998, a daughter, Barbara, was born.

“Marina and I have what is called a parallel existence: everyone is busy with their own business, and one does not interfere with the other. Formerly wife worked in advertising agency at the TV company "VID". We met on a ship, on a Mediterranean cruise during the filming of one of the programs. They crowded together there, so they bothered. Over time, Marina stopped working. She keeps the house, and this, by the way, is a great profession. In general, I believe that the mission of a woman, unless, of course, she has a wild attraction to some business, is home. I can't imagine any other task for my wife. What for? If he wants to work - let him, but I don't see the point in that. And my job is to ensure her life in such a way that she does what she likes, "said the showman.

The childhood of Leonid Yakubovich

Amazing events accompany Leonid Arkadyevich Yakubovich literally from childhood. Why, take at least the story of his parents' acquaintance!

Rimma Semyonovna Shenker during the Great Patriotic War was engaged in sending parcels to the front. The girl collected warm clothes, knitted something herself, sometimes got sweets and canned food. All parcels with gifts were sent in random order, that is, no addresses were indicated on them. One of them went to Captain Arkady Solomonovich Yakubovich. Knitted mittens were found in the bundle, both on one hand. The officer was touched and wrote an answer to the needlewoman, a correspondence began. A little later, Rimma Semyonovna became his wife.

However, Leonid did not have any special problems, the young man especially liked the lessons of history and literature. True, in the eighth grade he was expelled from school, because he skipped for three whole months.

On the same day, Leonid told his parents that he was leaving for Siberia.

The work turned out to be rather strange - the guys worked as live bait. They sat in the taiga on a stump, wearing only shorts and a quilted jacket, and wrote down at what time, who bit them and where: “10.50 - a bite at right leg. 10.55 - bite in left leg". The legs of the teenagers were smeared with various mosquito repellents - their effectiveness was just tested on the expedition. Summer vacation came to an end, but the expedition did not. Leonid had to stay in the taiga forests, and upon returning to Moscow, he learned that he had been expelled. Young Yakubovich had to go to night school, and at the same time earn extra money at the Tupolev plant as an electrician.

A little later, he transferred to the Kuibyshev Civil Engineering Institute (modern MGSU), because there was an excellent KVN team.
