People's Artist of the USSR Valentina Leontyeva She received many awards and regalia during her life. But the highest recognition for the TV presenter was that tens of millions of Soviet people, even as they grew older, continued to call her “Aunt Valya.” During the broadcasts of the programs “Visiting a Fairy Tale” and “Good Night, Kids,” all the children “stuck” to the TV screens.

Valentina Mikhailovna loved her young fans very much, but the main viewer was waiting for her at home. The only son of the TV presenter, Dmitry Vinogradov, as a child, habitually waited for his mother from Ostankino.

Leontyeva spent the last three years of her life away from her son - with relatives in the Ulyanovsk region. The TV presenter broke her hip, and her relatives began looking for a nurse. The artist’s sister Lyudmila and her daughter Galina offered to take her home. Many journalists in those years accused Dmitry of forgetting about his own mother. When, after Leontyeva’s death in May 2007, Vinogradov did not go to her funeral, the public’s opinion about the heartless son of the TV star was finally established.

Valentina Leontyeva

In response to all the accusations, Dmitry remained silent, refusing to comment on the situation. In Dmitry Borisov’s program “Let Them Talk,” the son of Valentina Leontyeva spoke frankly about his relationship with his mother. Dmitry admitted that all the years he sincerely loved Valentina Mikhailovna, despite rumors about their conflicts: “I lived with my mother until I was 45 years old. For many this seems strange, but it is true.

We had a good relationship, I also communicated well with my dad. Mom was very gentle, she always spoiled me, but dad, on the contrary, was strict.”

Dmitry is convinced that negative rumors were spread about him and his mother intentionally: “All these nasty things about us on the Internet were simply beneficial to someone. They wanted to tarnish her image, erase from people’s memories that her mother was a great announcer, so that the focus would be on the story of a bad son and an alcoholic husband.” Vinogradov emphasized that he never blamed his mother for her constant absence from home: “Dmitry emphasized that he never felt deprived. “She spent enough time with me. Of course, I was often busy, but I understood that.”

The TV presenter's son explained why he rarely saw his mother in last years her life and refused to go to the funeral. According to him, this was due to poor relations with relatives with whom Leontyeva lived for three years before her death: “After she died, they drove a KAMAZ truck to the house to take out all my mother’s things. They literally took everything away. Moreover, my mother wanted her to be cremated and her ashes buried in Moscow, but they insisted on a ceremony in the Ulyanovsk region.

I didn't come to the funeral because I wasn't sure I could control myself. I was afraid that I would kill one of these scoundrels, and then it would be a criminal matter. But justice still prevailed: I wished them death, and they died. You can say that I cursed them,” Vinogradov concluded.

The studio guests were amazed by the strength of Dmitry’s emotions, who, many years after his mother’s death, could not forget the circumstances of those days. Leontyeva's colleagues and friends tried to support her son, saying that she loved him very much and always remembered him at work. Now Dmitry Vinogradov is raising his only son, Valentin, whose father he became at the age of 45. The boy got his name in honor of his famous grandmother and enjoys listening to stories about her life.

The biography of Valentina Leontyeva's son is the story of an abandoned boy who, when he grew up, repaid his mother in the same coin. During my childhood years of loneliness...

This article tells the story of another child abandoned by his parents. The lives of great people, actors and TV stars very often know no mercy. Neither to yourself, nor to others, including your closest and dearest people. The main thing is the audience...

Thorsons

Biography of Dmitry Vinogradov, son of Valentina Leontyeva, legendary TV presenter Soviet Union, originates in northern lands the homeland of the ancient Vikings - the Scandinavian Kingdom of Sweden.

Enterprising representatives of the glorious Thorsons family once paved their own path from the Varangians to the Greeks and settled in the northern capital of Russia - the city of Petrograd.

Dmitry's grandfather, Mikhail Grigorievich Thorsons, was twenty years older than his wife Ekaterina Mikhailovna. Both of them were accountants. Grandfather was the chief accountant of the October Railway, and grandmother was one of the city’s hospitals. There was always money in this family. Instilling European manners in his two daughters, Alevtina and Lyudmila, everyone in the house spoke exclusively French and very often organized home musical masquerade evenings, at which Mikhail Grigorievich played the violin, and all three of his young ladies - his wife and two daughters, along with the guests danced to his accompaniment.

In the thirties, on the initiative of grandfather Dmitry Vinogradov, who feared Stalinist repressions due to the current situation on the border with Finland, the whole family changed their surname. So the Thorsons became the Leontyevs. And their youngest daughter Alevtina, whom the boys teased with drying oil at school, became Valentina.

Leontievs

Mikhail Grigorievich did not survive the siege of Leningrad and died of hunger, giving his last crumbs to his family. After his death, Ekaterina Mikhailovna and her daughters managed to evacuate to the Ulyanovsk region, where her youngest daughter Valentina, the future favorite of all children of the Soviet Union without exception, graduated from the school of the village of Novoselki, where their family now settled.

Dmitry Vinogradov, the son of Valentina Leontyeva, said that my mother often recalled that time and that distant village to which she would be destined to return many years later to die. After the end of the Great Patriotic War The Leontyevs remained in Novoselki - grandmother Ekaterina Mikhailovna took up accounting for the village cooperative, and her eldest daughter got married and gave birth to a child. Valentina set off to conquer the capital.

Mother

Valentina Leontyeva became a TV presenter and the idol of millions of children huge country. For her little admirers, she was simply Aunt Valya, the kindest aunt in the world. Several generations grew up on the programs “Good night, kids!”, “Visiting a fairy tale” and “Alarm Clock”, hosted by Valentina Mikhailovna.

And her program “With all my heart,” which helps people who are lost or separated by fate to find each other again, has attracted the attention of adult audiences for fifteen years. At the same time, “With All My Heart” also became the pioneer of the talk show genre on domestic television.

Valentina Leontyeva, whose son Dmitry Vinogradov is the hero of this article, was born on August 1, 1923.

The titles and awards of this legendary TV presenter speak for themselves - Honored and People's Artist of the RSFSR, as well as People's Artist of the USSR, who was awarded the USSR State Prize and the TEFI Prize "For personal contribution to the development of domestic television" for her program "With all my heart."

Father

Dmitry Vinogradov's dad became Valentina Leontyeva's second husband, diplomat and personal translator of Nikita Khrushchev - Yuri Vinogradov, representative of the USSR diplomatic mission in New York.

Yuri was cheerful, educated and smart person. He lived to the fullest, as if scooping up life with large spoons. Vinogradov did not divide the people around him into friends and strangers - for him everyone was his own, and he rejoiced at each of them. Therefore, in his circle one could equally meet both a boxer and an academician.

Dmitry Vinogradov, the son of Valentina Leontyeva, recalled his mother’s stories about how she met his father. Yuri Vinogradov met Leontyeva in a restaurant on a bet with his friend. The essence of the dispute was that Yuri would pretend to be a foreigner so skillfully that the girl would not suspect anything. The friend was supposed to play the role of translator.

They walked up to young Valentina and started a conversation. Yuri won the argument, and at the same time won the girl’s heart, and he himself fell in love.

Family

Soon Leontyeva and Vinogradov got married. Valentina, who by that time already had several unsuccessful attempts to get a job in one of the Moscow theaters, one day accidentally saw a newspaper advertisement about a competition for a vacant position as a TV presenter. In those distant times, television was just beginning to develop, and the girl had little idea what it really was, but she was unemployed and decided to participate as a temporary option until something truly worthwhile came her way.

We all know that there is nothing more permanent than temporary. And that attempt of young Valentina grew into almost half a century of work on television. From now on the blue screen has become main goal and the meaning of Leontyeva’s life.

Husband Yuri initially had a favorable attitude towards the rapidly developing development of his wife’s career, considering it, rather, her pampering. He himself earned very well, they had no problems with money, and he increasingly did not like the fact that Valentina began to devote herself so deeply to her work. Moreover, soon their family was expecting a new addition.

Mitya

The date of birth of Dmitry Vinogradov, the son of Valentina Leontyeva, was January 26, 1962. The TV presenter was taken by ambulance to the maternity hospital straight from work.

After birth, Mitya actually became his grandmother’s son. Taking care of him fell on Ekaterina Mikhailovna Leontyeva.

Leontyeva rarely appeared at home, disappearing at work from morning to night.

Nevertheless, little Mitya saw his mother much more often than she saw him - looking at her on the TV screen, as if through a window. Here she is, mom - very close. But you won’t touch and warm up with the warmth of her hands.

Valentina usually saw her son sleeping. She was leaving for work - Mitenka was still sleeping. I returned at night - Mitya was already asleep. And between morning and night - television. One continuous television... On which Leontyeva at that time was the presenter of several programs at once - “Alarm Clock”, “Good Night, Kids”, “Skillful Hands”, “Visiting a Fairy Tale”, “With All My Heart” and “Blue light."

Mom put millions of other people’s children to bed every evening, and her dear Mitya at that time sat at home with his grandmother and father, deliberately not watching his mother’s program “Good night, kids,” because she was not his own mother there, but everyone’s. From then on he began to hate television.

And when Valentina Leontyeva one day brought home children’s drawings that were sent to her from all over the country in the “Visiting a Fairy Tale” program to show them to her son, Mitya had her first hysteria. Bursting with tears, he tore up all the drawings and ran away.

By that time, her marriage with Yuri Vinogradov was already approaching its logical conclusion. She literally lived on television. He is traveling on business trips. The husband began to drink a lot and started an affair. Valentina herself was not sinless.

They divorced in 1977.

Youth

Dmitry Vinogradov, the son of Valentina Leontyeva, whose year of birth was 1962, was already fifteen years old at the time of his parents’ divorce. And he grew up as a difficult teenager. His whole life was a challenge to the stereotype that he had to live up to his mother. And he wanted to correspond only to himself. And the more the teachers pressured him for his bad behavior, the worse he behaved, becoming the only one at school who was not accepted into the Komsomol.

After school, Dmitry worked for some time as a lighting technician at a television center, where Leontyeva assigned him. Then he entered the cinematography department of the All-Russian state institute cinematography named after S. A. Gerasimov, who later quit in his third year. I struggled without a permanent job and unsuccessfully tried to start a business.

The height of Dmitry Vinogradov, the son of Valentina Leontyeva, was almost two meters. Oblique fathom at the shoulders and Scandinavian breed.

His mother tried to get him into Vyacheslav Zaitsev’s modeling agency, but Dmitry very soon left there too, since everyone around him treated him like the son of a famous TV presenter.

He closed himself off in his own world, just as he closed himself off from his mother in the room and in real life, not sharing any of his secrets with Leontyeva and hiding from everyone, even from his girlfriend, that he is her son.

Mitya grew up as an ambiguous young man, very offended by his mother, and indeed by everyone during his childhood. He never even came to the grave of his grandmother, Ekaterina Mikhailovna, who raised him, never forgiving her for once reading his diaries.

Conflict with mother

The life path of Dmitry Vinogradov, the son of Valentina Leontyeva, is the story of a lonely man whose heart was not filled with filial love and care. Of the two parents, Dmitry preferred his father, whom he loved very much. When his father died, he went to his funeral. But mom doesn't. And this served as an additional irritant for him.

Consciously or not, he repaid his mother in kind, leaving her alone towards the end of his life.

However, Valentina Leontyeva’s son, Dmitry Vinogradov, connects this not with his attitude towards his mother, but with a long-standing hostility towards her relatives, who, as he believed, enjoyed his mother’s fame, connections and money.

One way or another, she took care of Valentina Leontyeva elder sister Lyudmila, taking her to distant Novoselovka, where they once escaped from the war.

Her The only son didn't come to the funeral. As he later explained, because of his mother’s relatives.

I didn't come to the funeral because I wasn't sure I could control myself. I was afraid that I would kill one of these scoundrels, and then it would be a criminal matter. But justice still prevailed: I wished them death, and they died. You could say that I cursed them...

Personal life

Dmitry Vinogradov, the son of Valentina Leontyeva, whose age today is fifty-six years old, lived only eleven of them independently. He got married when he was forty-five, and before that he lived with his mother and entirely at her expense.

His chosen one was a Frenchwoman. She professional makeup artist. At first he lived with her in Paris. There they had a son, whom Dmitry named Valentin in honor of his mother.

Now Dmitry has moved to Russia, to one of the old Russian cities. He has his own large house in the forest, in which he lives alone from everyone, reading books, boxing, riding a bike and walking with his son when he comes to him on vacation. Then Valentin flies back to his mother in Paris.

In the house of Valentina Leontyeva’s son, Dmitry Vinogradov, there are no photographs of his parents. They are in his thoughts and heart, and he does not need posturing. He was offered huge sums of money many times for in-depth interviews about his mother and father, but he turned them all down.

In 2011, Dmitry returned to his hobby from his youth - he began to draw again. Now his paintings are bought for a lot of money. He is really very talented, this Viking-like, huge, strong and bearded man.

In the photo - Vinogradov's painting "The Hallucination of a Miner".

Today, Dmitry Vinogradov, the son of Valentina Leontyeva, is one of the brightest representatives of the Russian avant-garde, or rather Suprematism, who has managed to catch the pace modern life and not lose your own philosophy. His paintings have their own strong energy. They either like them or cause sharp rejection. However, Dmitry Vinogradov himself is of little concern about this.

After some time, when the hype around the death of Valentina Leontyeva subsided and the journalists calmed down, he, ex-boy Mitya, I came to my mother’s grave...

On August 1, Valentina Leontyeva, People’s Artist of the USSR, television announcer, host of the programs “Good Night, Kids!”, “Visiting a Fairy Tale,” and “With All My Heart,” would have turned 93 years old, but in 2007 she passed away. Charming Aunt Valya was adored by little TV viewers and their parents; Bulat Okudzhava and Arkady Raikin were in love with her; she was married twice, but called television her greatest love. She had to sacrifice a lot to this love.

Valentina Leontyeva was born on August 1, 1923 in Leningrad. During the Second World War, the family had to endure a blockade and famine, which she could not forget about until the end of her days. They made jelly from wood glue and soup from a leather belt cut into small pieces. To distract her daughters from thoughts about food and curb their appetite, the mother taught them to smoke. Valentina was a heavy smoker all her life and gave up this habit only a year before her death.

*Aunt Valya of the Soviet Union*

Valentina dreamed of becoming an actress and in the post-war period she graduated from the Opera and Drama Studio. Stanislavsky at the Moscow Art Theater, worked at the Tambov Drama Theater, and then came to television. She first appeared on screen in 1954. Her debut as an announcer was unsuccessful: she had to read a message on the New Year tree in the Central House Soviet army, and she got so excited that she started stuttering. But this was the only mistake. 10 years later, not a single holiday program on central television took place without her participation.

There was a lot in her life romantic stories. One day, in 1945, immediately after the Victory, Valentina saw a captured German who was digging a trench, and he asked her for bread. She obtained permission to feed him dinner, and 10 years later he returned to the USSR to thank her and propose to her. She refused him, as well as another suitor - an Arbat boy who sang songs to her and dedicated poems. It was Bulat Okudzhava. They met 40 years later, when Leontyeva was asked to invite the poet to a TV show. And a month after this meeting, Bulat Okudzhava died. Valentina said: “I now terribly regret that we lost these forty years without seeing each other - how many things could have been different!”

She got married for the first time in student years. This marriage was short-lived and broke up due to her husband’s infidelity. For the second time, Valentina married diplomat Yuri Vinogradov, with whom she fell in love at first sight. They lived together for 28 years, but then separated. Two years after the birth of their son, Valentina became the host of the program “Good night, kids!” Her son was very jealous of all her children, to whom she paid more attention than him, and was worried that his mother was “everyone,” and not just him.

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

At the same time, millions of Soviet children adored Aunt Valya and waited for new releases of “Spokushki,” as they called “Good night, kids!” She was also the host of the programs “Visiting a Fairy Tale”, “Alarm Clock”, “From the Theater Box”, the holiday “Blue Lights” and the search program “With all my heart”. She was lovingly called Aunt Valya of the Soviet Union, and became the only female announcer on Central Television to be awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR.

In the 1990s. The most difficult period began for Valentina Leontyeva: all her programs were closed, the new management did not see her as an announcer or presenter. She was transferred to the position of assistant director, and later - a consultant in the sign language translation department. At the same time, health problems began. In 2004, after an unsuccessful fall, Leontyeva developed memory lapses and her vision deteriorated. Last days she spent with her sister in the village of Novoselki in the Ulyanovsk region, where she was buried.

In her declining years, Leontyeva lamented: “Television now is not what it was before. Then there was more sincerity in people, we loved our work. That’s why the programs turned out to be sincere and kind. What now? Endless games and shows in which greed, immorality and thirst for profit reign.”

The whole life of this legendary Soviet woman is shrouded in rumors and myths. CT announcer and TV presenter Valentina Leontyeva would have celebrated her 95th birthday this year. She was truly a screen star. When “Visiting a Fairy Tale” and “Good Night, Kids” started showing on TV, the streets of the entire Soviet Union became deserted. All the children sat at home and watched their favorite TV shows with delight. But how did her own son Mitya remember Valentina Leontyeva? One day, the announcer admitted that she paid much more attention to her work than to her son...

There was talk in the press that the legendary Soviet TV presenter was experiencing family problems. Not everything was as smooth at home as at work - Valentina Leontyeva herself admitted this more than once with tears in her eyes. “I kept tripping, they kept tripping me up,” she once said. Her son Dmitry did not like the enormous popularity. He was constantly embarrassed when his mother was recognized by passers-by on the street. Today in Let Them Talk, the son of Valentina Leontyeva will openly talk about his childhood, youth and famous mother.

Dmitry Vinogradov: “Everyone who speaks badly about me soon dies.”

Rumors also began to circulate that Dmitry was raising his hand against his own mother and treating her very badly. The man himself today denies such statements. “I lived with my mother until I was 45 and we always got along in the family,” says Valentina Leontyeva’s son. The announcer died in Ulyanovsk, the city where her sisters lived. After Leontyeva’s death, her family and friends began to tell shocking details about the relationship between her son and mother. Dmitry remained silent for 10 years and now decided to tell the whole truth about himself and his mother - the truth that only he knows.

Let them say - Valentina Leontyeva’s son: “Everything about my mother”

The legendary “Aunt Valya”... in 2018, the famous USSR announcer would have turned 95 years old. She was called the most beautiful woman Soviet television, and when programs with her participation were broadcast, the streets of all cities of the Soviet Union became empty. In this issue, Let Them Talk - Son of Valentina Leontyeva: “Everything about my mother”: Dmitry Vinogradov will tell all the details of his relationship with his mother. Was everything smooth in this family?

Dmitry Vinogradov: “I just wanted them all to die, and...cursed them.”

For many years he refused interviews, but for “Let Them Talk” he will tell his truth. More than 10 years ago, Valentina Leontyeva admitted more than once in interviews that she paid very little attention to her son, in contrast to her television career. Little Mitya, unlike his peers, went to bed when his mother was still at work. “All this popularity that befell me actually played a cruel joke on me: I couldn’t calmly walk the streets, go shopping or go to the movies,” Valentina Mikhailovna said in an interview.

The famous TV presenter and CT announcer Valentina Leontyeva died on May 20, 2007 in the Ulyanovsk region. And after her death, rumors spread in the media that her only son Dmitry treated her poorly and even attacked her with his fists. In this broadcast of “Let Them Talk,” Dmitry Vinogradov, after a long silence, decided to tell his version...

Dmitry Vinogradov:

— I lived with my mother until I was 45. Well, it’s just nonsense, it would seem! But in reality we just had a big apartment and we had very good trusting relationship with mom. All actresses love to complain, and her friends from the acting community came to her mother and talked about their problems. Perhaps in response, my mother also complained about my father and me. I'm just now trying to find the roots of those rumors about me.

“Mom was extremely popular. Taxi drivers did not take money from her, and at the market they gave her food for free. I wasn’t at all annoyed by her fame, but I’m just not a public person. After my mother’s death, they repeatedly threw mud at me, they removed as many as 7 programs, but I didn’t even react, since only my opinion is important to me. Only I can know where I am good and where I am bad.

Dmitry Vinogradov will talk about how his enemies died one by one and how he really treated his mother. Watch below the episode of the program Let Them Talk - Valentina Leontyeva’s Son: “All About My Mother”, broadcast on August 1, 2018 (08/01/2018).

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

She was loved by millions. Children and adults ran to television screens to watch her programs - “Good night, kids”, “Alarm clock”, “Visiting a fairy tale” and, of course, “With all my heart”, to which the country cried.

It seemed that her huge kind heart was enough for everyone, but at the end of her life the name of the famous Soviet TV announcer Valentina Leontieva declined mainly due to family scandals.

Life before TV

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

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

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

Two failed marriages

But Valechka could not cope with her heart. First, the marriage with her first husband, a radio director, broke up Yuri Richard. Then the second husband found a replacement for the always busy and in-demand wife, Yuri Vinogradov.

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

The family was “ruined by the housing issue”

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

They said that over the years the boy's character only deteriorated. Forced to live with his mother in the same apartment, he threw scandals and made life under the same roof so unbearable for his mother that she decided to exchange her huge “Stalinist” apartment on Bolshaya Gruzinskaya Street. I gave the two-room apartment to my son, but kept the one-room apartment for myself.

After the USSR collapsed and television no longer needed “Aunt Valya,” this “one-room apartment” became her kind of pension. Aunt Valya rented out a Moscow apartment and with this money lived in Novoselki, Ulyanovsk region, under the supervision of her sister.

They began dividing the inheritance while Leontyeva was still alive

Around famous personalities heaps of relatives and “friends” constantly swarm. And questions of inheritance division constantly arise. This cup has not passed from Valentina Mikhailovna.

Sister Galina had plans for a Moscow apartment, but the son, practically through blackmail, forced his mother to transfer the property to him, after which the apartment was immediately sold, and the money was invested in an enterprise that quickly went bankrupt.

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

And then Dmitry accidentally received information that this housing was allocated to his mother by the local authorities for free. According to the son, he, seeing the commercialism of his relatives, prepared the conditions for his mother to move to Moscow, bought an apartment for her to replace the sold one-room apartment, but did not manage to complete his plan.

Rumors, gossip, intrigue

When journalists interviewed Dmitry, he complained that his relatives were turning his mother against him and spreading rumors about his obnoxious character.

At one time, the media made waves that allegedly Valentina Mikhailovna moved in with her sister after being brutally beaten by her son, who broke her hip. And these rumors spread immediately after he did not allow my mother’s apartment, which belonged to her after the exchange, to be transferred to her sister.

All these property squabbles and the progressive illness of “Aunt Valya” became the reason that in recent years the son and mother practically did not communicate. The sister said that Mitya avoided communication, and the son blames Galina and her intrigues for the cooling of the relationship, but at the same time claims that he communicated with his mother by phone until the end and the relationship was normal, not tense.

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