    Once again there were rumors about the death of Leonid Yakubovich. This year, the presenter will turn 71, so it’s not strange that the yellow press is constantly trying to ride on the hype at the expense of Yakubovich’s health and life.

    But the rumors did not appear out of nowhere, he really became ill and perhaps this would not have become public if it had not happened during the recording of the next issue of the Field of Miracles.

The childhood of Leonid Yakubovich

Amazing events accompany Leonid Arkadyevich Yakubovich literally from childhood. Why, take at least the story of his parents' acquaintance!

Rimma Semyonovna Shenker during the Great Patriotic War was engaged in sending parcels to the front. The girl collected warm clothes, knitted something herself, sometimes got sweets and canned food. All parcels with gifts were sent in random order, that is, no addresses were indicated on them. One of them went to Captain Arkady Solomonovich Yakubovich. Knitted mittens were found in the bundle, both on one hand. The officer was touched and wrote an answer to the needlewoman, a correspondence began. A little later, Rimma Semyonovna became his wife.


Immediately after the war, Leonid Yakubovich was born. Parents began to teach their son to independence with early childhood. Once Lenya asked his dad to check the diary, to which his father replied sternly: “I don’t need it, it’s up to you how to study. There will be problems, then contact.

However, Leonid did not have any special problems, the young man especially liked the lessons of history and literature. True, in the eighth grade he was expelled from school, because he skipped for three whole months. Then, back in the summer holidays, Yakubovich and a friend saw an ad on the street: young people were required for an expedition to Eastern Siberia. It didn't take long to think. On the same day, Leonid told his parents that he was leaving for Siberia.

The work turned out to be rather strange - the guys worked as live bait. They sat on a stump in the taiga, wearing only underpants and a quilted jacket, and wrote down at what time, who bit them and where: “10.50 - a bite in the right leg. 10.55 - bite in the left leg. The legs of the teenagers were smeared with various mosquito repellents - their effectiveness was just tested on the expedition. Summer holidays are over, but the expedition is not. Leonid had to stay in the taiga forests, and upon returning to Moscow, he learned that he had been expelled. Young Yakubovich had to go to night school, and at the same time earn extra money at the Tupolev plant as an electrician.


After successfully graduating from evening school, Leonid Yakubovich unexpectedly passed the competition at three theatrical high school. But his father asked him to first get a "livable" specialty, and then go anywhere. Therefore, Leonid Arkadyevich decided to enter the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering. But he did not bury his talent in the ground and soon made his debut at the Theater of Student Miniatures. A little later, he transferred to the Kuibyshev Civil Engineering Institute (modern MGSU), because there was an excellent KVN team.

Vivid performances, true friends, traveling around the country, meeting with Galina Antonova, the soloist of the Gorozhanki ensemble - Yakubovich always noted that these years were the happiest in his life.

But the soul of the future artist did not lie in the "technical" work. Ever since his student days, Leonid was fond of writing scripts with an emphasis on humorous genre. In 1980, he was even accepted into the professional committee of Moscow playwrights. Since then, Yakubovich has written more than 300 works for pop singers.

Leonid Yakubovich at the "Field of Miracles"

Real audience popularity came to Yakubovich after he began hosting the Field of Miracles program in 1991, replacing the first host, Vladislav Listyev.

The real legend of the "Field of Miracles" was the museum, which over the years of broadcasting has collected a truly countless number of exhibits donated to Yakubovich by the players of the show. Part of the collection was exhibited at VDNKh in Moscow, part - in Ostankino, another part - in Tver.


Yakubovich's mustache, following the owner, became a kind of symbol of the "Field of Miracles". They were so inseparable from the image of Leonid Arkadyevich that even in his contract with Channel One there was a clause - not to shave off his mustache. However, the showman wore a mustache from the very beginning. labor activity, he shaved them only once, in 1971. Then he worked as an administrator at the Moscow Comedy Theater and, on duty, went on tour with the troupe. Before an important meeting, he decided to make a marathon and began to shave in a hotel room, but something did not add up: one mustache is shorter, then the other. “As a result, he turned into Hitler and shaved off everything completely,” the host joked. He was almost kicked out of the meeting - they simply did not recognize him.


The gushing energy of Leonid Yakubovich knew no bounds. Therefore, the artist could not pass by the cinema, already being the star of the most popular entertainment show on Russian television. He showed his bright comedic talent in a number of significant paintings. So, the actor appeared in the role of a policeman in the film "Moscow Holidays", played himself in the TV series "They don't kill clowns", exposing reverse side alluring show business, repeatedly appeared from the cameras in Yeralash. But it is worth noting that the proposals to the host were received regularly and in large volume, but Leonid Arkadyevich never accepted them if he didn’t like the role, although he liked the process of “acting” itself.

Personal life of Leonid Yakubovich. Hobbies and hobbies

Leonid Yakubovich now

In 2016, Leonid Yakubovich still met the guests of the Field of Miracles studio and captivated the audience with a wide smile and his signature charm. However, in August 2016, disturbing rumors appeared in the media: the press claimed that Yakubovich was seriously ill and was undergoing treatment in Germany. He had to refuse to participate in the play "The Last Aztec", where the artist was invited instead of the deceased Albert Filozov. However, it turned out that everything is in order with the health of the artist, and information about his illness is nothing more than rumors of ill-wishers.


In 2017, Yakubovich became the host of the new show “I Can!”, in which anyone could demonstrate their unique talent in the studio and receive a cash prize for this if they break their own record.

Over the past few months, the Internet has been flooded with reports that the famous Russian TV presenter, actor, screenwriter and producer, 71-year-old Leonid Yakubovich, has died. At first, such news seriously frightened the showman's loyal fans, however, this was followed by a refutation of this pseudo-news. Moreover, when the absurdity reached its climax, Leonid Arkadyevich even decided to personally refute these ridiculous rumors and prove to everyone that he was alive and well.

Did Leonid Yakubovich die?

But, let's take a closer look at all those false news regarding the state of Yakubovich's health, which have repeatedly disturbed the network in just the last few months. So, in August last year, a lot of reports appeared on the Internet that Leonid Yakubovich was dying in the studio, and a heart attack was called the cause of death. It should be noted that then many took this "news" at face value, and this is not surprising, because the TV presenter has already exchanged his eighth decade, and he has had certain health problems for a long time, which, by the way, he does not even try to hide. So this news sounded unexpectedly plausible. At some point, even the TV presenter himself joked about his own “death”, saying that he was “not dying” for the first time, so he is no stranger to it, but only the ironic circumstance that kills him every time “heart attack” pleases him . And indeed, if you ask the search engine the query “did Leonid Yakubovich die”, then in the selection of news for last years you may find that at least three times the showman died of a “heart attack” and a few more times he died as a result of a “terrible accident”.

Leonid Yakubovich dies in the studio

It turned out that these are the most popular and widespread versions of the "death" of Leonid Arkadyevich. But, if the version of a heart attack sounds somehow streamlined: they say, age, health problems, stress, then for some reason, when they talk about the artist’s death in a car accident, the articles look like law enforcement reports. The accident is described in great detail, and each author has his own: place, time, reason, who was with him in the car, and so on. To compose such a fable, and even paint it in colors, so that no one doubts that the accident took place - this is where the talent of science fiction disappears. We can assure you that Leonid Arkadievich is alive today, is in good health, and continues to work actively on television.

Lie: Leonid Yakubovich is dead

stuffing false information to the network is a fairly common phenomenon, recently there have been more cases when hackers hack into websites or celebrity accounts and post similar messages there, just for fun. However, sometimes the stars themselves, in their desire to attract the attention of the public at any cost, resort to such a strange “black PR” themselves. By the way, when the rumors about the death of Leonid Arkadievich were refuted and dispelled, some even suggested that they arose on his initiative. “Leonid Yakubovich died” - what can attract attention if not such a heading in an article? But, one should not lose sight of the fact that such rumors are often also created for commercial purposes in order to attract more readers to certain Internet portals.

The famous host of the capital show "Field of Miracles" Leonid Yakubovich was born in the summer of 1945 in Moscow. The romance between his parents broke out at the front: first, the couple corresponded, and then met. The reason for the correspondence of two unfamiliar young people was a curious incident.

The mother of the future TV star, Rimma Schenker, worked at the post office during the Great Patriotic War. In parcels to front-line soldiers, she packed the collected gifts and warm clothes knitted with her own hands. Parcels went to the front without a specific address. Once a parcel with gifts from Rimma was received by Captain Arkady Yakubovich. He was amused and puzzled by the fact that an unknown needlewoman, along with a touching letter, put two mittens on one hand into the box. Arkady Solomonovich decided to write to the unknown girl Rimma, and she soon answered him. The ensuing correspondence led to a meeting and a passionate romance. So the son of the couple Yakubovich and Schenker appeared as soon as the fighting died down.

From an early age, the father taught his son to be independent and responsible for his actions. He never checked his diary, because he believed that Leonid himself should decide how to study for him. Perhaps that is why the boy showed special diligence in preparing homework, but most of all he liked literature and history.

However, Leonid Yakubovich was expelled from school in the eighth grade. On summer holidays the guy, along with a friend, went on a short expedition to Siberia: the guys responded to a street job advertisement for young people. They tested new mosquito remedies: young Yakubovich with the same "volunteers" as himself, just sat in the taiga and wrote down when and how many mosquitoes would bite them. But the business trip dragged on, and the guy returned to the capital when his classmates finished the first quarter.

Yakubovich had to finish his studies at evening school, and during the day he worked as an electrician at the Tupolev plant.


Who to be Leonid Yakubovich decided in the sixth grade. On new year holidays the guys staged a play-tale "Twelfth Night", in which he played the Jester. On the impromptu theatrical stage, the boy experienced such a storm of pleasant emotions that the question of a future profession fell away: of course, he would become an artist.

After successfully graduating from the evening school, Leonid Yakubovich did not forget about his childhood dream: he successfully passed the exams at once in three metropolitan theater universities. But then the father intervened, who worked as a designer at one of the factories, and demanded that his son acquire a “livable” specialty, and only then go wherever he wants. For Leonid, dad has always been the most authoritative person, whom he could not disobey. Therefore, the guy entered the Institute of Electronic Engineering.


Leonid Yakubovich in his student years

At a technical university, Leonid Yakubovich continued to do what he loved: he enrolled in the Theater of Student Miniatures and soon made his debut on its stage. But soon the young artist left the engineering institute, preferring the engineering and construction institute. The fact is that in this university there was a strong team of KVN "MISI", in which Leonid Yakubovich "fit" perfectly. The guys toured all over the country, gathered applause in its farthest corners, found new friends, fell in love. According to Leonid Arkadyevich, these were the happiest years of his life.

Until now, most people associate the host's name with this show.


The principle of the TV show was very reminiscent of the American analogue of "Wheel of Fortune", but Leonid Yakubovich brought a lot of his own into the show: he improved and came up with the main "chips" of the project. The head and author of the show approved the appearance of a black box in the program, as well as the organization of the legendary museum of the show "Field of Miracles", where numerous gifts from the participants were sent.

Even the mustache of Leonid Yakubovich became a symbol of the "Field of Miracles", it was not for nothing that the artist's contract with Channel One contained a clause prohibiting them from being shaved.

But the show didn't enjoy special success, and was bought out by the ORT TV channel, where it existed until 2000.

Leonid Arkadyevich also acted as the author of the musical television game "Guessing Game", where the participants had to guess songs by melody. But the program had low ratings, although it turned out to be quite expensive, which is why it was soon closed. In 2000, Yakubovich returned to KVN as one of the jury members.

But Leonid Yakubovich is forced to abandon some plans because of his enormous employment. It happened in September 2016: the premiere of the play "The Last Aztec", where one of the roles went to the actor, was postponed indefinitely.
