Childhood and youth

Fans of the “Field of Miracles” program are often interested in the personal life and biography of Leonid Yakubovich. Leonid Arkadyevich was born on July 31, 1945 in Moscow. His birth is directly connected with the Great Patriotic War and with one funny incident. The popular showman's mother worked at the post office and sent parcels to the front. People carried warm clothes, tobacco, and linen. Rimma Semyonovna also sent the same parcel and received a response from fighter Yakubovich, who was surprised that the parcel contained both mittens on left hand. This incident began the acquaintance of his parents.

Leonid studied well at school; most of all he loved history and Russian literature. The father was strict and fair, he wanted his son to be able to stand up for himself, and instilled work skills. He believed that a child should learn to be responsible for his actions. Leonid grew up responsible and hardworking. One day he and the guys decided to earn extra money and went to Siberian taiga for testing an anti-mosquito drug. They sat and counted mosquito bites. I had to stay in the taiga for several months. When we returned, our classmates were already in 9th grade. He was expelled from school.

But Leonid did not despair, applied to evening school and went to work at an aircraft factory. Having received secondary education, he passed a competition into three theater universities at once, but his father insisted that he receive some other specialty. And Leonid entered the mechanical engineering institute, but then he found out that the construction institute had a good KVN team and transferred there.

And from that time his artistic activity began. The guys drove around different corners Russia with concerts and soon became popular.

In 1971, the institute was behind him; Yakubovich was expected to become an engineer at the Likhachev plant. After 6 years, he was transferred to the plant management, where he worked until 1980. But his soul lay on another matter: in 1980 he was accepted into the committee of playwrights, since in his arsenal there were already more than 300 scripts and stories written for performance on the stage. For example, Vladimir Vinokur performed his “Sergeant Major’s Monologue”. Yakubovich's works were successfully performed by Petrosyan and other comedians. Before becoming the host of “Field of Miracles”, Leonid Arkadyevich already had experience in public work:

  • in 1980 he participated in the filming of the film “Twenty Years Later”;
  • in 1984 he founded the first Auction House in the USSR and was an auctioneer himself;
  • in 1988, the first beauty contest was held and it was led by Leonid Yakubovich.

Television and film career

In 1991, Leonid Yakubovich was invited to the casting of the host of the capital show “Field of Miracles”, in November the first program with his participation was released. This show was created by Vlad Listyev, but Yakubovich made some adjustments. For example, there was no black box before; organizing the museum was also his idea. Now this repository contains paintings by amateur artists, National costumes and works of applied art of all peoples of Russia.

There were so many gifts brought by the players that several additional sites had to be opened. The program immediately won the hearts of television viewers, and over time, Leonid Yakubovich becomes its symbol. His work contract even includes a “no shaved mustache” clause. By the way, he always wore a mustache. He said that once, when he worked as an administrator at a comedy theater, he went on tour with the artists. While preparing for an important meeting, he carelessly shaved off his mustache, so they didn’t recognize him and didn’t want to let him in.

Talented and versatile, Leonid could not help but be noticed by film directors. He starred in such films as “Moscow Holidays” (1995) and “Russian Amazons” (2002), and participated in two releases of “Old Songs about the Main Thing” (1996, 1997) and “Jumble.” Yakubovich led in different time such transfers:

  • "Wash for a Million";
  • "Wheel of History";
  • "The Last 24 Hours" and others.

At the beginning of 2014, Leonid Arkadyevich wrote the script for the comedy film “Grandfather of My Dreams”, he himself produced the project and acted main role. At the “Smile, Russia” festival, the film received two awards, one of them for Best Actor was awarded to Yakubovich.

Today Leonid Yakubovich is full of energy, although in the summer of 2018 he will turn 73 years old. He still hosts “Field of Miracles”, holds the position of producer and director of projects for the television company “VID”, attends all events, writes humoresques and stories for pop performers. Leads an active lifestyle and plays sports. When I felt that my weight was preventing me from living a full life, I started going to the gym.

Personal life

Yakubovich met his first wife Galina Antonova in his youth, when she and KVN and the ensemble “Gorozhanki”, where she was a soloist, traveled around the country. We first met at a concert in a workers’ village near Issyk-Kul. The young people got married in their fifth year, lived with their parents, and in 1973 their son Artem was born. He graduated from the same institute where Yakubovich himself studied, received the profession of economist, but also works on television.

Family life was not always smooth, sometimes there was not enough money, and fans were annoying. In the nineties, the relationship between the spouses completely went wrong, and Yakubovich filed for divorce in 1995.

He was the initiator, since by that time he had met another woman. They had known Marina Vido for a long time; she also worked in the advertising department of the VID company. At first we communicated as colleagues, then love broke out. They got married in 1996, and two years later their daughter Varvara was born, his wife was 32 years old, he was 52 years old.

A late child for a man is double happiness. Varya grew up as an active, playful child. Today it's already adult girl. Graduated from a prestigious Moscow school with intensive study in English, entered MGIMO. She wants to become a good journalist, like her mother, and a good TV presenter, like her father. For several years the couple built a house in the Moscow region. Now his wife and daughter live there, and Yakubovich, due to his constant employment, stays overnight in a Moscow apartment and goes home on weekends.

In addition to work, Leonid Arkadyevich has another exciting activity - flying on an airplane. Sometime in the nineties, under the influence of his friend Yuri Nikolaev, he became interested in aviation. He graduated from flight school and is now calmly taking to the skies. He even took part in the space Olympics. He also has other hobbies: skiing, billiards, preference. Last year, Yakubovich began hosting the show “I Can!”, in which anyone can come to the studio, present their skills and talents to the audience and receive a monetary reward for it.

From childhood, the boy’s parents began to teach him to be independent. Once Lenya asked his dad to check the diary, to which his father sternly replied: “I don’t need it, it’s up to you how to study. If there are problems, then contact me.”

However, Leonid did not have any special problems. True, in the eighth grade he was expelled from school because he was absent for three whole months. Then, during the summer holidays, Yakubovich and a friend saw an advertisement on the street that young people were needed for an expedition to Eastern Siberia. The guys didn't think long. And on the same day he told his parents that he was leaving for Siberia.

In Siberia, Leonid Yakubovich’s work was rather strange. He worked as a live bait. That is, he sat in the taiga on a stump in only shorts and a padded jacket and wrote down at what time, who and where he was bitten. The teenager’s feet were smeared with various mosquito repellents; their effectiveness was tested during the expedition. When it was time to return to Moscow, Leonid learned that the work was not over yet, so he had to stay in Siberia. And upon arriving home, the student learned that he had been expelled. Without thinking twice, Leonid Yakubovich entered evening school, and at the same time began working as an electrical mechanic at the Tupolev plant.

However, after school, Leonid Yakubovich unexpectedly entered three theater universities. At that time, his dad asked him to get a specialty, and then go anywhere. Therefore, the future artist did not go to theater school and went to study at the Institute of Electronic Engineering. Well, in parallel, Leonid Arkadyevich played at the Theater of Student Miniatures. And a little later I transferred from my university to engineering and construction, because there was an excellent KVN team there.

And since then, Yakubovich has become the author of about 300 works for pop performers, he also wrote stage and theatrical performances (“Gravity of the Earth”, “Wider Circle”, “Parade of Parodists”, “We need victory like air” and others). Well, besides this, Leonid Yakubovich became the author of such plays as “The Haunted Hotel”, “Ku-ku, Man!”, “Tutti”. By the way, with one of Yakubovich’s plays, Vladimir Vinokur won a prestigious competition and became famous. The works of Leonid Arkadyevich are also performed by Evgeny Petrosyan and other pop stars.

But real audience popularity came to Yakubovich after he began hosting the “Field of Miracles” program in 1991. And thanks to the charm of the presenter himself, the program became the most popular on Russian television. And the museum, which has a truly countless number of exhibits, has become a legend of the “Field of Miracles”. Part of the collection was exhibited at VDNH in Moscow, part in Ostankino and another part in Tver. For many years the program has shown high ratings, and Yakubovich remains unprecedentedly popular. And the reason for this is not only charisma, but also the highest professionalism.

Leonid Yakubovich’s professional thirst and energy know no bounds. Therefore, the artist could not ignore the cinema. Yakubovich has a bright comedic talent, which he showed in a number of films. The actor appeared in the role of a policeman in the film “Moscow Holidays”. He also played in the series “They Don’t Kill Clowns.” Moreover, in the latter he appeared in the role of almost himself, thereby exposing reverse side alluring show business.

Leonid Yakubovich has one passion in his life: he devotes a lot of free time to flying sports airplanes. And Yuri Nikolaev took the artist to the flying club for the first time. Then Yakubovich caught fire and began to study a new profession - a pilot. Later, Leonid Arkadyevich was accepted into the Russian national team and the TV presenter participated in the World Aerospace olympic games.
