Vladimir Menshov denies that he has an illegitimate son, Alexander, from journalist Lyudmila Tueva.

The famous actor and director became the hero of the “Human Fate” program.

People's Artist The RSFSR commented on rumors about an illegitimate son, whose mother is allegedly Lyudmila Tueva, a friend. A number of media outlets claimed that her heir Alexander, who was born in February 1977, does not want to see his own father.

Menshov said that such speculation is not true: “This is the beginning of the evening of big discoveries, right? My son Alexander - who told you this? Aunt Valya, or what? Leave it, well... I don’t have a son, Alexander, and really, it’s not even worth it... This is some kind of nonsense, believe me. She told me this nonsense too. So we’ll blurt it out, and then it’ll be spread on the Internet that Menshov is abandoning his son.”

Menshov made it clear that he was not going to speak out about the alleged heir and inflate this story. “I’m not giving up on my son, but his name is not Alexander, but Nikolai,” said the actor.

Vladimir Menshov. Fate of man

Menshov and his wife have been together for more than 50 years. In 2013, the couple celebrated golden wedding. That same day, the couple decided to get married in church. Close people also persuaded Menshov to undergo baptism.

“Vera was always worried that in the “other world” we would end up in different sections - for believers and non-believers. And she wanted us to be together,” the actor shared.

According to the film and theater star, he shared household responsibilities with his wife. Menshov noted that his wife does not know how to cook, so he stands behind the stove. At the same time, Vladimir Valentinovich does not consider himself henpecked. He thinks he's carrying important function: “Vera does everything else, except the kitchen, in the house - she sews, knits, she can fix the TV!.. If I’m standing in the kitchen, this is the main thing, after all, the hearth!”

During the program, Vladimir Menshov spoke about the secret of a long-lasting marriage: “First, you need love. It changes over the years, but this first impulse must be sincere and great love. Secondly, you need patience, the ability to forgive each other, this is very important. We for a long time were engaged in alterations, and in general this lies in our Russian mentality. This is not true, you need to accept a person for who he is and love him for it.”

Distinguished guests were expected at the funeral of Valentina Leontyeva in Novoselki. We remembered that the desire to spend last path Deputies Alexey Mitrofanov and Vladimir Zhirinovsky expressed their favorite TV presenter. But alas: all VIPs limited themselves to only condolences in telegrams. So the legend of Soviet television left quietly. Just as she had lived for the last three years.

Early in the morning, the coffin with Leontyeva’s body was transported to the local cultural center - everyone could say goodbye to “dear Valenka,” as many called her. Relatives - older sister Lyudmila Mikhailovna, three nieces and their children could barely stand on their feet from grief. supported them close friend Leontyeva Lyudmila Tueva. She came from Moscow along with the TV presenter’s last student, Channel One employee Alexander Orlov.

Closer to 11 a.m., several hundred people, mostly residents of Novoselki and surrounding villages, gathered in the square near the house of culture. People came with flowers - some with chic bouquets, others with simple branches of lilac and bird cherry, broken in their garden.

Aunt Valya is sleeping! Don't wake her! - a strict grandmother instructed her five-year-old granddaughter before entering the farewell hall.

Local eleventh grader high school In December 2006, Artem Kashkirov shot the last video about Valentina Leontyeva.

We took part in the competition "The Most cool class" and came to visit her. We were greeted by the cheerful and kind Aunt Valya, whom I remember from “Good night, kids!” She told a little about her life. We sent that video to Ulyanovsk for a competition. Now this is a real relic, because it is last movie about her during her lifetime. And we enjoy watching it.

Look! “Valya is in tears,” Lyudmila Mikhailovna’s daughter Natalya suddenly exclaimed. And she carefully wiped her aunt’s face with a handkerchief.

Many Ulyanovsk VIPs were on duty at the funeral guard at the TV presenter’s coffin. But son Dmitry never arrived. Although many were sure that he would still appear at the funeral. The crowd said different things - even that he allegedly went abroad on purpose...

To be honest, we didn’t ask if he would come after the funeral,” said Valentina Mikhailovna’s niece Galina Antonova.

Aunt Valya was buried in the bright Christian holiday- Day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

And this means that her soul will ascend easily,” Lyudmila Tueva said at the cemetery.

The coffin with Aunt Valya’s body was lowered into the grave to the applause of everyone who was in the cemetery. An actress from God, she died worthy of her profession.

DIRECT SPEECH

Lyudmila TUEVA, producer, actress and friend of Valentina Leontyeva:

She called me ten times a day!

We sometimes hosted the program “With all my heart” together. She was also her godmother. And lately it has been difficult for her to memorize text for 4 - 5 hours. That's why I helped complete "With All My Heart." But she handled it beautifully. We communicated constantly. She called me ten times a day, either to bring me food or something else. “Oh,” she said, “I saw such stones!” Well, okay, let's take it... I remember how we presented her with the long-awaited TEFI figurine. Together with Leontyeva’s last student, Sasha Orlov, we came to her in Novoselki. And to the music of “Visiting a Fairy Tale” the award was presented. Tears came to her eyes...

QUESTION OF THE DAY

What can we do to prevent our great old people from dying in poverty?

Alexander ROSENBAUM, bard, State Duma deputy:

Remember your young life, because we were all brought up by Aunt Valya. And understand that oil reserves countries are nothing compared to such a person.

Gennady GUDKOV, member of the State Duma Committee on Security:

There is only one thing - stop stealing budget money and start investing it in the economy, and then in pensions. Then old age will be greeted with dignity not only by the great, but also by mere mortals.

Alexander PROKHANOV, editor-in-chief newspapers "Zavtra":

It is necessary that our oligarchs do not buy tens of kilometers of beaches abroad. And the money pumped out of our depths was used to prolong the lives of old people, great and not great. Because their survival is one of the forms of our salvation.

Alexander BURDIN, psychotherapist, Perm:

Any public person fulfills too few personal, basic needs in his life. Such as raising children, loving loved ones. And this is exactly what works in old age.

Tatyana DOGILEVA, actress:

This problem has been solved in all countries - both in America and Scandinavia. Is it possible to compare their nursing homes and our homeless almshouses, where our pensioners die. We must end corruption, otherwise officials steal and old people die in poverty.

Andrey POTAPOV, pensioner:

The word “great” should be removed from your question. All old people need social protection states.

Ilya TORKHOV, multiple champion of Murmansk in historical fencing:

Return to them what was stolen during the years of economic reforms! We must finally appreciate the contribution of great people, the older generation, to the life of our country.

Vitaly OSOSHNIK, head of the “Wizards of the Court” studio, Voronezh:

This “village syndrome” needs to be eradicated in every family. That is, in our own families, stop treating old people as some kind of makeweight, otherwise we are used to dressing grandparents in old clothes and allocating a half-bed in the corridor, they say, they have outlived their usefulness, what else do they need! Relatives legendary people This is no exception.

Valentina, site reader WWW.KP.RU , Chelyabinsk:

How can you tell how big an old man is?! What about the rest - for the 101st kilometer?

The popularity of the famous TV presenter and actress has not faded over the years. Fans admire her talent, youth, well-groomed appearance and a wonderful family.

Personal life, love story and Julia’s husband

The actress has been happily married for 21 years. During this time, her family experienced not only a lot of good, but also bad. Julia did not maintain a relationship with her husband for quite a long time, but this dark streak remained far in the past.

Husband Igor Gordin

In 1995, Julia met her future husband in the theater, where he played the main role. Igor Gordin is an actor and director of the Youth Theater. The young people immediately realized that they had a lot in common. A year later they got married. Menshova was 27 years old at that time, Gordin was 31 years old.

The lovers had a son, and after a while a daughter, and immediately after that, discord began in the family. According to psychologists, after 7 years of marriage, the couple faces serious problems in their personal lives. This is what happened in Julia’s family in 2005.

The divorce was not officially filed, but Menshova’s husband, Igor Gordin, was sure that he would not return to the family. The children experienced this event painfully, but in 2008 the couple decided to get back together, explaining that it was hard for both of them without each other.

Yulia Menshova. Wife. Love story

In September of this year, the actress and TV presenter appeared on Kira Proshutinskaya’s program “Wife. Love story." On air, Yulia shared her memories, several frank stories and said that she belongs to the type of truly Russian women.

Novels of Yulia – Alexander Nikitin

For 4 years, when Menshova lived separately from her husband, there were many rumors about the woman’s affairs with many famous personalities. They said that the actress had relationships with Andrei Chernyshov, Sergei Kunkin, as well as Yan Galperin, a partner in the show “Dancing with the Stars.”

Fans considered the most plausible relationship between Menshova and her partner in the series “Between Us, Girls” - Alexander Nikitin. Their game was so sincere that it was hard to believe that there were no feelings between the young people. However, Julia denies all these rumors.

Family and children of Yulia Menshova

In 1998, the couple had their first child, healthy and handsome boy Andrey. After 5 years, a daughter was born, who was named Taisiya.

As Andrey matured, he decided to follow in the footsteps of his famous relatives and began to study acting. The daughter of Yulia and Igor, at the age of 9, said that she does not intend to become an actress yet.

Now the children feel happy and do what they love. They had a hard time coping with their parents' separation. Trips to St. Petersburg to see his father, returning back to his mother, constant worries - all this had no effect in the best possible way on the psyche of Taisiya and Andrey. To protect children from nervous breakdown, the parents were reunited and everything in the family returned to normal.

The profession of an actress was not able to fully reveal all of Julia’s talents. She showed herself perfectly in the role of both producer and host of successful projects. In addition, the woman was able to cope with the crisis in the family. She was helped in this by her extraordinary willpower, perseverance, wisdom and desire to make her children happy.

She didn’t dare disobey Dmitriev. Having received a school certificate, she entered the evening department of the Textile Institute. During the day, the girl worked at a design research institute, and in the evening she hurried to classes at the institute.

Lyudmila Dmitrieva dreamed of acting so much that fate heard her and gave her a chance. There was a theater studio at the textile university. It was directed by the artist Leonid Persiyaninov, who served at the Theater Soviet army. In her third year, student Dmitrieva decided to drop by. Leonid Nikolaevich invited the girl to read a passage of her choice. Dmitrieva read Katerina’s monologue from the play “The Thunderstorm” so soulfully that she burst into tears.
