The Oscar-winning director Vladimir Menshov learned about the heir from TV star Valentina Leontyeva
Many friends and colleagues came to Vladimir Menshov's 70th anniversary. At the festive table next to the master, his relatives settled down: his wife Vera Alentova, daughter Julia with her husband and children. During the celebration, Vladimir Valentinovich's mobile phone did not stop. But the most long-awaited call, alas, did not ring. The illegitimate son of the hero of the occasion never dialed the coveted number of the star dad.
In the mid-90s Menshov was invited to record the anniversary edition of Sergei Sholokhov's program "Quiet House". During a break between filming, Vladimir got into a conversation with another guest of the program - Valentina Leontyeva. And when he was distracted for a second, he met the eyes of a pretty, middle-aged blonde. And numb:
Lyudka! Are you? How are you doing?
Everything is fine with me, - averting her eyes to the side, the woman hissed and after a pause added: - I live alone!
So alone ?! - sarcastically Leontyeva. - You have a son!
Like a son? When did you give birth to him? - Menshov got excited.
The lady said nothing and quickly left the studio. And Aunt Valya told Vladimir that her blond friend Lyudmila Tueva became a mother in February 1977. According to eyewitnesses to this story, until the end of the recording Menshov was not himself. I was painfully thinking about something, thinking about something. Apparently, he realized that he could be the father of an adult guy.
After the reunion Alentova and Menshov did not have other children and gave all their love to their only daughter, Yulia.
Menshov admitted more than once in an interview that as soon as he and Alentova became the parents of little Yulechka and received their own housing, his family life cracked. For three years, the couple lived apart, although they did not officially divorce.
Then I tried to start a new life, - Vladimir confessed. - There were novels. And even more than that. But when my wife and I began to live together again, we decided not to talk about it.
One of these novels happened with Menshov, when he left to work in a provincial theater. There he met the charming Lyudochka Tueva, who turned out to be nine years younger than him. The relationship developed rapidly. As knowledgeable people say, lovers almost immediately began to live together. Having managed to miss home comfort, Menshov did not get tired of admiring the culinary talents of his new girlfriend, because his wife almost did not know how to cook.
He was brought closer to Tueva by the fact that she was ready to spend hours discussing non-standard directorial moves with Volodya. Lyudmila graduated from the Institute of Culture and, like Menshov, was looking for herself in creativity, including trying to realize herself as a stage director. From the side, the couple seemed insanely happy, for a complete idyll they needed only a baby. Adoring his daughter Yulechka and madly missing her, Menshov dreamed of his son too. But Tueva was in no hurry to give birth from a married man. According to rumors, after another quarrel over this, Vladimir slammed the door and left Lyudmila forever. And she soon found out that she was pregnant. However, pride did not allow her to tell her former lover about this.
Wise Alentova accepted her husband who walked up without further questioning. And then she repeated more than once:
The fact that we began to live together again is a great happiness. The parting was good. I think if we hadn't parted then, we probably would have parted later. But they would never have connected.
Menshov did not expect that 20 years after the breakup he would meet Tueva. An accidentally revealed secret on the set of "Quiet House" forced Vladimir to try again and again to challenge Lyudmila to a frank conversation.
But when the former lover once again refused to open the cards - from whom she gave birth, his patience ran out:
Take me to meet my son! We both know who his father is. For your sake, I'm even ready to give up Vera! Let's live together.
Let's close the topic! Otherwise, I will go to extreme measures, - snapped Lyudmila, and Vladimir, like many years ago, left in a rage.
At the next meeting in "Ostankino" Tueva began to reproach Leontyev for revealing the secret. Say, with great difficulty she managed to get rid of the annoying Menshov. Only threats to throw a grandiose scandal that could ruin Vladimir's career helped.
Meanwhile Menshov, using his numerous connections, found out that his son's name was Sasha. And his patronymic is fictitious - Aleksandrovich, like the daughter of the main character in his film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears." That, too, was recorded by her mother as Alexandra Alexandrovna, regardless of the name of her real father.
Again Menshov and Tueva met on the set of a documentary project directed by Lyudmila. Former lovers did not even remember with a hint of their previous intimate experiences, as if they had erased their past life together and all the unpleasant moments with an eraser. Menshov even sponsored Tueva's directorial project, and she gratefully accepted his help.
Despite the fact that the relationship between Tueva and Menshov seemed to have improved, in the family of Lyudmila Nikanorovna, the topic of her relationship with the master continued to remain closed. Moreover, Tueva married a publicist Valery Aushev, with whom they are also connected by joint work. For example, the spouses are now working on a TV series about Mikhailo Lomonosov.
32-year-old Alexander Tuev lives in the Moscow region. An officer of the Federal Migration Service, he fights illegal immigrants. Sasha's personal life, alas, is not yet very successful.
As a student, he married the charming Svetlana Kladova. Soon their daughter Nastenka was born. But then the family boat crashed into everyday life.
Svetlana Tueva (nee - Kladova) has not yet told her daughter Nastya about her star grandfather.
We have been divorced for seven years, - Svetlana confessed to us. - But we continue to communicate, often call each other, together we solve the problems of our daughter. Nastya considers Lyudmila Nikanorovna and her current husband Valery Petrovich to be her grandparents. As for Menshov, I heard that his mother-in-law lived with him in a civil marriage, but they broke up even before Sasha was born. And he never asked who his father was. Alexander has such a mother cult that he does not need a dad. When we just started living together, I fiddled with my husband: "Don't you want to know the truth?" And he always answered dryly: "No! It's enough for me that my mother and stepfather raised me." I am sure that he will not discuss this topic with you.
We nevertheless tried to contact Alexander, but, apparently, having learned from his ex-wife about our interest, he went into a perimeter defense and turned off all the phones.
Lyudmila Nikanorovna initially agreed to an interview, but then suddenly began to postpone the meeting, referring to her busy schedule.
At the banquet in honor of the 70th anniversary of the legend of Russian cinema, which took place after the laying of the master's nameplate on the Mosfilm Avenue of Stars, Vladimir Valentinovich took a seat at the main table in one of the cafes near the film studio. He sat majestically, surrounded by family and friends. Perhaps the most pleasant gift for the birthday man was the fact that his daughter was reunited with her husband Igor Gordin.
As you know, the couple repeated the fate of Yulia's parents and did not live together for several years.
Leonid Yarmolnik, Vladimir Vinokur, Igor Kirillov, Vasily Livanov, Oleg Mityaev and other eminent guests raised toasts to the health and family well-being of a colleague and friend. Probably, they did not realize that the hero of the day, as a talented actor, hides worries about his son. Even illegitimate.

Alexander TUEV does not want to see his father
He was brought closer to Tueva by the fact that she was ready to spend hours discussing non-standard directorial moves with Volodya.

Like in the movies
Menshov did not expect that 20 years after the breakup he would meet Tueva. An accidentally revealed secret on the set of "Quiet House" forced Vladimir to try again and again to challenge Lyudmila to a frank conversation.
Lyudmila TUEVA
But when the former lover once again refused to open the cards - from whom she gave birth, his patience ran out:

Aunt Valya took care of her student TUEVA like her own daughter
Meanwhile Menshov, using his numerous connections, found out that his son's name was Sasha. And his patronymic is fictitious - Aleksandrovich, like the daughter of the main character in his film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears." That, too, was recorded by her mother as Alexandra Alexandrovna, regardless of the name of her real father.

Mother cult
Despite the fact that the relationship between Tueva and Menshov seemed to have improved, in the family of Lyudmila Nikanorovna, the topic of her relationship with the master continued to remain closed.

Lyudmila Nikanorovna still has not removed the taboo on talking about MENSHOV
The most pleasant gift
At the banquet in honor of the 70th anniversary of the legend of Russian cinema, which took place after the laying of the master's nameplate on the Mosfilm Avenue of Stars, Vladimir Valentinovich took a seat at the main table in one of the cafes near the film studio.

- Let's drink so that Moscow never sees Menshov's tears! - one of those present sculpted.
And we decided not to stir up the soul of the favorite of millions on this bright day. However, if Vladimir Valentinovich himself wants to tell about the heir, Express Gazeta is always ready to give him the floor.

And there was also a case
In 2000, Valentina Leontyeva received the TEFI award - For Personal Contribution to the Development of Television. The TV star always took the dear figurine with her on tour and meeting with fans. Once, during a regular trip, Aunt Valya became ill and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. And "Orpheus" was taken by Leontyeva's administrator Andrei Udalov. The man identified the statuette in the most prominent place in his apartment and bragged about it to friends and colleagues. And only six years later, the award returned to its rightful owner. By the unthinkable efforts of Lyudmila Tueva, who simply idolized Aunt Valya and considered her her teacher, Orpheus was taken from Udalov and returned to Leontyeva on the eve of her 83rd birthday.

Leave me alone, well ... I don't have a son, Alexander, and the truth is, it's not even worth it ... This is some kind of nonsense, believe me. She told me this nonsense too. So let’s blurt out, and then he will surf the Internet that Menshov is giving up his son. ”

Over the years, it changes, but there must be this first impulse of sincere and great love. Secondly, you need patience, the ability to forgive each other, this is very important. We have been reworking for a long time, and in general it lies in our Russian mentality. This is not true, you need to accept a person as he is and love for it. "
