A wonderful artist, singer and teacher Lev Leshchenko celebrated his 75th birthday in February 2017. Despite his age, Lev Valerianovich devotes a lot of time to rehearsals. And he is modestly silent about his well-being and health - few people know that several years ago the singer underwent complex spinal surgery. But these are all trifles, because Leshchenko is not used to complaining, and copes with all life’s ups and downs on his own.

Military childhood

Lev Leshchenko was born in February 1942 – war time it was difficult, hungry, but Lev Valerianovich does not like to remember this. According to him, as a boy he was glad of any care - it was good when there was something to eat and what to wear, because there were problems not only with food, but also with things.

The first serious loss in Levushka’s life happened when he was not yet two years old - his mother died. The boy was raised by his grandmother, who often took him to Ryazan. Leshchenko’s father, a career officer, soon after his mother’s death got married and another child appeared in the Moscow apartment – ​​sister Valya. The stepmother treated her stepson warmly, which is why Leshchenko himself always spoke kindly about his father’s new wife.

At first, the family lived in a Moscow communal apartment, where Levushka loved to visit intelligent neighbors. They gave him tea and treated him to doctor's sausage. Years later, my father was given a two-room apartment in a Stalinist building. Many athletes and coaches lived in the neighborhood, who immediately noted the teenager’s athletic physique and sent him to the Dynamo stadium. The first steps in sports are water polo. But this sport did not become a favorite among young man. Leshchenko goes to the basketball section and falls in love with team game. To this day, basketball remains the singer’s favorite sport. And near the house on the site there is a basketball hoop, where free time the artist loves to throw balls.

Another youthful passion is singing. Lev Leshchenko always sang, often performed on the school stage, and attended the choir at the House of Pioneers. After graduating from school, the choice falls on a theater university, but failure awaits him. So that the missed year does not go to waste, Lev gets a job at the Bolshoi Theater as a stagehand. He still wanted to be closer to the theater at least in this way. It was not possible to work for a long time, the father did not approve of the choice of profession and sent his son to work as a fitter. Then there was the army. And after returning from service, the persistent young man again attacks GITIS and... enters.

Way to success

His career began with the Operetta Theater, where Leva was accepted during his second year at the institute. He worked as an actor of small roles, so it is unlikely that they paid attention to the aspiring artist then. But Leshchenko did not give up, and already in 1970 he was appointed soloist of the USSR State Television and Radio.

After first place at the All-Union Variety Artists Competition, people started talking about Leshchenko. His popularity is growing, the singer is recognized, and his songs are sung by the whole country. The most popular compositions are:

• “Why didn’t you meet me?”
• "White birch",
• "We can't live without each other"
• "Gentlemen Officers"
• "Don't cry, girl"
• "Nightingale Grove"
• "Parent's house"

Since the late 70s, Leshchenko has often been invited to speak to members of the Politburo. There were rumors that Brezhnev himself liked to listen to the songs of the young performer. Therefore, the annual awards that the singer receives as he becomes widely known do not surprise anyone.

The first problems began with perestroika. In 1989, the artist did not receive an invitation to “Song of the Year” - this happened for the first time and completely unexpectedly. He understands that he needs to think about making a normal income and creates a “Music Agency”. Leshchenko's agency organizes concert programs, creative evenings and song presentations. In other words, it was the first agency in the country that dealt with corporate events. At the same time, Lev Valerianovich begins teaching at a university. Among his students are Varvara, Katya Lel and Marina Khlebnikova.

The agency is still operating successfully, so the artist is now busy in the music business, which brings him a good income. Lev Leshchenko does not appear on stage often, but his every appearance is a gift for listeners.

Trials of love

The first wife was Albina Abdalova, a singer who performed in her youth in Utesov’s band. They met at the institute, often spent time together, walked a lot, Leo gave nice gifts, but there was no talk of marriage for a long time. After a few years of relationship, Lev and Albina got married. Family life was not ideal - Leshchenko thought only about his career, Albina also devoted a lot of time to singing. Perhaps children would have united the family, but Albina, by her own admission, decided to have several abortions, as she understood her husband’s unpreparedness for fatherhood.

In 1976, Lev Valerianovich meets a girl, Irina, the daughter of a diplomat, who grew up abroad and had little interest in Soviet pop music. Before meeting the singer, the girl knew nothing about him. Leo amazed her with his attention, care and love. From the moment of meeting Irina, Leshchenko’s first marriage breaks up, and after two years of relationship, Ira and Lev decide to get married. The singer constantly talks about his feelings for his wife. Of course, sometimes the artist was credited love relationship with colleagues on stage, but the wife treats such conversations philosophically, and sometimes they simply joke about gossip together.

The family has no children. According to the singer himself, he really regrets that they were not able to give birth to a child. Both spouses were unable to take in an adopted child; they honestly admit that they were afraid for many reasons. But over the years of living together, we learned to feel comfortable just the two of us, to appreciate and love each other.

What besides the stage?

In addition to his creative activities, Lev Leshchenko acted in films. The first roles were episodic, then more serious offers appeared. Of the most notable films, the following can be noted:

1. Zaitsev, burn!
2. Old songs about the main thing 3.
3. Military field romance.
4. Old songs about the main thing.

In the early 2000s, Leshchenko wrote an autobiographical book, “Apology for Memory,” which describes his life and the lives of his contemporaries.

Today the singer lives in his country house together with his beloved wife, he plays music and believes in the bright future of the national stage.

How old is Lev Leshchenko? It seems that he is forever young - the artist changes so little over the years that he looks at us from the stage. He is recognized by his stately figure, special manner of movement and, of course, by his magical, seemingly voluminous voice, which seems to float from the stage and makes the entire audience freeze. Meanwhile the singer has already celebrated his 75th birthday.

Biography of Lev Leshchenko

Lev Leshchenko was born on February 5, 1942. His mother died early, but his father, on the contrary, lived to be 99 years old. In 1948, he brought his stepmother into the house, and soon their daughter Valentina was born, who became Lev’s half-sister.

Valeryan Leshchenko was a military man, and little Lev grew up like a real “son of the regiment” - he wore tailored military clothing, ate in the soldiers’ canteen, and went to the shooting range. The boy’s love of music was instilled in him by his grandfather Andrei, who never missed an opportunity to play the violin for his grandson.

Lev Valeryanovich spent his childhood in Sokolniki. He became interested in creativity, was a member of the choir at the House of Pioneers, and studied in a brass band, but gradually focused on vocals. It was not possible to enroll in a theater university immediately after school, and for some time the future pop star worked as an ordinary stagehand at the Bolshoi Theater, and then completely went to work as a mechanic at a factory.

The draft came, and Leshchenko, following his father’s advice, went to serve in the tank forces. There his singing abilities were fully appreciated, and from 1962 Lev performed with a military song and dance ensemble, where he soon became a soloist. This practice allowed him to enter GITIS after completing his service. Although they took him reluctantly - he was not impressed - however, a year later they recognized him - not in vain. His low baritone and special timbre gradually became business card aspiring singer. Already in his second year, Leshchenko worked at the Operetta Theater and Mosconcert, and summer holidays spent touring as part of concert teams throughout the Soviet Union.

Personal life of Lev Leshchenko, family and children

Lev Leshchenko was married twice, with his first wife, Alla Abdalova, he lived for 10 years, from 1966 to 1976. Being both people of creative professions (Abdalova is a theater artist and singer), they often did not see eye to eye, quarreled, separated and reunited, and eventually divorced completely. By the way, songs sung by spouses as a duet, were popular. Among the most famous are “Old Maple”, “The main thing, guys, is not to grow old in your heart”, “Song about Moscow”(“...I will never forget a friend if I became friends with him in Moscow”) It remains to add that Lev Leshchenko’s children from his first marriage are a myth that sometimes appears in the yellow press. They did not have children, although they could have been born. Alla had an abortion several times.

Marriage with Irina Bagudina, who was 12 years younger than the groom, took place in 1978. Soon after the wedding, it turned out that Lev Leshchenko and his wife did not have to dream about children - as a result of an unsuccessful pregnancy, the woman was forever deprived of the opportunity to have children.

He is the honorary president of the basketball club in Lyubertsy and is on the Ukrainian “sanctions” list as an artist who is prohibited from visiting this country.

Approved by Vyacheslav Dobrynin

On February 1, Lev LESCHENKO celebrated his 73rd birthday. Unfortunately, the Enteveshniks ruined his mood before the holiday: they showed him the scandalous memories of his first wife. It is noteworthy that almost seven years ago, Express Gazeta was the first to find Alla ABDALOVA and she shared with our readers the piquant details of her intimate life with the singer. The TV people have now presented this entire story as their exclusive. Although many of the facts in Alla’s current story do not correspond to reality.
The Leshchenko spouses were offended not even by this, but by the fact that the journalists, introducing themselves “ Good morning» Channel One, they came to their house supposedly to record the story, as they note New Year. But they broadcast a bad editing, using seemingly innocent material for their own not so good purposes.

Indignation, disgust and the feeling that you have stepped into something sticky and smelly, too! - Irina Leshchenko, the wife of Lev Valeryanovich, shared her feelings from watching “The New Russian Sensation” the other day with a MK journalist. - Oh, horror, but we accepted them with an open soul!
Mrs. Abdalova does not feel deceived, but Lev Leshchenko’s friends are indignant: there are a lot of lies in these drunken (Alla was drinking wine in the shot) memories! For example, a pensioner stated that Lev forced her to have abortions and at first avoided communicating with Vinokur (he didn’t even want to answer phone calls, he lied that he was not at home). And it was only thanks to her that the friendship worked out. And so strong too.

Complete nonsense! - Vladimir Natanovich does not hold back his emotions. - Leva and I began to be friends much earlier than I even knew about her existence. But she can be forgiven. In general, I treat her normally - she is an unhappy, lonely woman. But I am against believing the words of this sick man. Lev Valeryanovich has so much merit to the state that, in pursuit of ratings, our television programs have absolutely no need to offend the feelings of a person of such rank and unquestioningly believe the words of a woman who is clearly not herself.
“The program stated that the song “Victory Day” became popular precisely thanks to Alla, who made him a star,” I remind Vinokur.
- Lord, what are you talking about! Yes, indeed, at first they didn’t want to put “Victory Day” on the radio and put it in rotation, because the artistic council believed that the song was such a important topic cannot be march-like. I remember how much the composer David Tukhmanov and Leva, its first performer, were worried about this. And when, nevertheless, on the eve of November 10 - Police Day - Leva showed it at a rehearsal, the then Minister of Internal Affairs Shchelokov exclaimed: “A wonderful song! We should definitely include it in the concert program!” And she immediately became super popular. That's the whole story. Well, tell me, what does Alla or anyone else from his close circle have to do with it?!

- Well, everything is clear with Alla. How did it happen that the TV crew tricked them into your friend’s house?
- Well, Lyova is simply a very intelligent person who cannot refuse people. This intelligence and gullibility of his became the reason for the provocation clean water. Of course, Leo was very upset when he realized that he had been treated like a child. Thank you for not pestering him with calls on this topic. So I always check documents before letting a person into my home or office - you never know why he came. But I also didn’t come to this right away, but after several deceptions.
“I can imagine how offended Lev Valeryanovich’s wife was: not only did the shameless TV people tell big lies, but they also inserted Abdalova’s absurd revelations into the program. Allegedly, Irina Lev was specially “planted” into bed by administrator Efim Zuperman in order to annoy her, Alla!
- Of course, this is not true! How was it even possible to broadcast something like this?! Irochka is a wonderful woman, smart, Leva is truly happy with her. Why go far, you can call Slava Dobrynin - he just witnessed their acquaintance.

“I was very surprised when Zuperman’s name was mentioned in the program,” Vyacheslav Grigorievich admitted to me. - I won’t lie, I knew this man, but he had nothing to do with Leva and Ira’s acquaintance. Leva saw Irochka in Sochi and fell in love with her at first sight! I assure you, no one framed anyone!
I, too, am extremely outraged by the TV show shown - at least write letters of protest! Didn’t you feel that Alla Abdalova was already in a state of insanity?! This is a man who has moved away from everything. She lives not even with memories, but with some kind of effort on what to say. She is simply an unhealthy person, so on her part this is not even intentional deception, but impotence. Everything that Alla says must be questioned, and this is a question more likely for medicine than for any other organs. For example, an unhealthy person walks down the street and shouts slogans - it turns out that everything he shouts should be taken at face value?

Chamomiles and wine

Our correspondent Maria SVETLOVA found Lev Leshchenko’s first wife 10 years ago and spent three years persuading her to meet. Alla Alexandrovna did not want to stir up the past. But at some point I made up my mind. Carefully, weighing every word, she opened her soul, afraid to say too much. I got the impression that it was very painful, there was a lot of resentment inside and I just wanted to cry. Below are excerpts from that interview. Read it and you will understand: there is almost nothing in common with what you saw on NTV.

Leva and I studied at GITIS in the operetta department. All our girls were delighted with him. He also had curls. For some reason he felt shy and straightened them out. But regarding the fact that he had a lisp, he didn’t have any complexes and didn’t work with speech therapists. I thought he was good anyway.

One day Leva looked into the dance class. I look - he is looking at me point blank. I'm not timid. After class she came up and asked: “What’s the matter?” He replied that I looked a lot like his niece. I was not at a loss: “Let’s take her to her and show her, I’ll see if you’re lying.” We arrived in Khimki, to his home. And for sure: I am the spitting image of my niece!
Levi's stepmother took our visit very seriously and decided: since Leva brought home a girl, that means he is a bride.
...One day I come to class, and he is standing in front of the audience with a bouquet of daisies. He took me by the arm and led me into the front garden of GITIS. He sat him down on a bench and took out a bottle of wine. Then the guys ran to the store... I still can’t stand sweet wine. By the way, when visiting I always had to drink for two. Leva takes a sip a little, and his diction becomes such that you can’t make out anything - just hissing.
They became friends. And after some time, Leva offered to spend the night with him. He said: “Don’t think anything bad: I have dad, mom and sister at home.” The family, of course, was fast asleep. And we... Then he asked me: “Al, is it really our first time?” And I was fooling around, no, I don’t remember something. Before registration, we lived with him for several years. We met secretly - either at my sister's or at his parents'. Leva once told me: “We never slept with you except in heaven!” That is, everywhere!
Yes, he sometimes said that we should have children. But, having become pregnant, I thought for a long time what to do. I was haunted by doubts whether we would continue to be together. I asked him: “Do you love me? If yes, then I’ll give birth.” He didn’t answer me. So I went to the midwife. Another time I got pregnant again, I asked him again what to do. But Leva has no time for that. He came from Japan, he had impressions... He muttered something like do as you please. Out of stupidity, perhaps, I asked the doctor who was scraped out of me. She says: "Boy." I didn’t even tell my husband that we would have a son. Then I went for abortions without consultation. One day, after an operation, a doctor told me: “Alla, you could have two great boys. Twins". I was scalded...
Well, then somehow everything went downhill. Lev met Ira and fell in love. I didn’t hold back, I filed for divorce myself. A couple of years later, she and Irina got married. But I never got married again... And, you know, in spite of everything, I still love Leva and wish him only happiness.

The highlight of Leshchenko’s performances was the performance of Leonid Utesov’s songs not only at school concerts, but also at citywide events. But the guy was unable to enter the theater school, so he worked either at a factory as a mechanic or as a stage worker at the Bolshoi Theater.

Children of Lev Leshchenko

After classes, Lev would accompany Alla home, and then she would accompany him, and then everything would repeat itself again, often until dark.
