Some two weeks later, on July 16, 2016, the “barefoot boy” of the Russian stage will celebrate his 48th birthday. Over the years, dozens of popularly loved hits have come from the pen of singer and composer Leonid Agutin. Their author won the love and adoration of hundreds of thousands of fans different ages. And with all this, he still manages to remain quite a closed person. But admirers of his work were always interested in his loved ones - his wife and daughter Agutin. What and how is happening in the star family? Let's try to figure it out.
Who are you people?
For a long time, the Agutin-Varum family duo remained something of a mystery even for the most talented and meticulous workers of pen and paper, keyboard and mouse. A certain (not small) number of people continue to believe that they are not husband and wife at all. They say they organized a creative tandem. And rumors about them family life couldn’t come at a better time - they perfectly support interest in the work of Leonid Agutin and Angelika Varum. There are a lot of rumors and gossip floating around their relatives. Senior Varum - Yuri - once very famous composer. He lived in Miami for many years and had no intention of returning to Russia.
Such different girls
Agutin’s daughters also became a source of various, not always truthful, information. Lisa, the common heir of Agutin and Varum, lived with her grandfather overseas. There was a period when information appeared in print media that she was seriously ill, so her parents took her abroad. Leonid’s other daughter, blonde Polina, is a little older than Lisa. Her birth was due to Agutin’s rather short-lived relationship with the ballerina Maria Vorobyeva. Famous father I stopped hiding this daughter just a few years ago. But now she often appears “in society” with her father.
Joyful impressions of grandfather
The eldest Agutin, Nikolai Petrovich, is the grandfather of two charming granddaughters of his son Leonid. He never talks to curious journalists about any problematic topics - either about relationships between family members, or about some problems that may happen. With much greater passion and interest, he shares joyful events with the pen’s workers. For example, how Agutin’s daughters, Lisa and Polina, came to visit him. Four years ago they spent some time together, such a friendly and happy team. And everyone had fun together.
And Varum Lisa at that time had not been in Moscow for almost ten years. The eldest Polina was with them for only a few days that time, and then flew to France, home. But even this a short time I remember it for a long time: a grandfather and his granddaughters attended a Depeche Mode concert. Everyone was delighted. Nikolai Petrovich admires musical abilities both girls. Despite their young age, Polina has a large number of their recordings, and Lisa created her own group in Miami. She composes, sings and plays on her own. Grandpa is proud of them.
What are girls drawn to?
The step-sisters first met about four years ago, in Paris. Of course, easy communication did not develop immediately. But then they could not be torn away from each other. The daughter of Agutin and Varum, whose photo periodically appears on the pages of glossy publications, is practically American. In that distant country, everything is familiar and familiar to her. She even chats with her sister in English. True, the Russian grandfather diligently suppressed this among his family, defending the idea that here they should speak only in their native language.
Agutin's daughter Polina is a polyglot. She already knows five languages and has not given up her dream of learning a sixth one - Japanese. Mastering new knowledge does not cause her any discomfort: the girl is very capable and diligent. Polina dreams of becoming a manager or linguist. I was even looking at college. The daughter of Agutin and Varum, Lisa, is still devoting herself entirely to music. But this is not her only hobby. She also draws beautifully, which makes Nikolai Petrovich Agutin immensely proud.
Already adults, or still children?
We have many common interests - music, films, books. Despite this, Agutin’s daughters are completely different. Polina is much ahead of her “passport” age. If any of her acquaintances and friends does not know how old she really is, I am sure that she is much more than twenty.
At the same time, Agutin and Varum’s daughter Lisa is a little childish. The photo of this girl does not often appear in periodicals, but one day she rightfully appeared there. Her dad had a concert in Miami a few years ago. Leonid invited his daughter to perform with him on the same stage. She agreed. She worked the allotted time without any teenage pressure or embarrassment. Lisa wasn’t worried at all, but star father, standing behind the scenes during her performance, on the contrary, he was terribly worried.
It is not yet known whether the daughter of Agutin and Varum (whose photo appeared in the press after certain events) will be a singer or musician, but for now she receives great pleasure from both activities.
Mom's last name
Strange as it may seem, none of the girls bears the name of the star dad. The youngest is worried. She has no plans to return to Russia yet, and her relatives do not put any pressure on her. In this family there is a strict rule: everyone can choose the one life path what he likes. The daughter of Agutin and Varum, Lisa, whose photo was an infrequent guest on glossy pages, does not dare to move to Moscow. After all, in America she has all her hobbies, many friends and studies.
The eldest girl, Polina comes to Russia much more often. After all, she still has grandparents here on her mother’s side. They, in fact, raised her. It was in their house that the girl’s dad used to visit her. At first, Polina studied in Moscow, and later changed Russia to Italy, leaving with her mother for Nice. Her parent married an Italian. Now they have a common son growing up.
Agutin never promised to marry the ballerina Maria Vorobyova, which he admitted to her parents when his passion became pregnant. They didn't insist. The main thing is that the daughter will give them a grandson or granddaughter. The theater was on vacation at that time, and the main troupe was on tour. So nothing stood in the way of Polina’s birth. The girl’s last name is Vorobyova, just like her mother’s. No one interferes with her communication with her father, whom Polina loves very much.
Easier Varum than Agutina
For many years, the official guardian of Lisa, daughter of Leonid Agutin, whose photo is not yet available frequent guest on the pages of glossy publications, her American grandfather Yuri Varum appeared. As a rule, it was he who acted as an accompaniment in all long trips beloved granddaughter. Several years ago he underwent surgery: due to progressive diabetes, his leg was amputated. But Lyubov, his wife, assured curious journalists that thanks to good local (in Miami) doctors, this did not affect his well-being. On the contrary, grandparents were worried about another fact: one day they read in the newspaper that Lisa had autism, and another printed edition that she joined some sect. They were outraged by this. After all, the girl is absolutely healthy, active, and the fact that she changes her hair color too often and wears bright makeup was attributed to her youth.
When Lisa was born, Angelica and Leonid often went on tour, so during this time they brought their daughter to her grandparents. The young parents categorically refused to invite a nanny and governess. While they were working, Lyubov and Yuri Varum raised little Lisa. Later, when the granddaughter grew up, and they took her abroad with them, they decided, in order to avoid all sorts of legal confusion and incidents, to leave her surname Varum. It was easier for them. The parents were thinking about giving it to the girl, but they were told that, according to the law, this was prohibited. They abandoned this idea. And what difference does it make whether the child bears the mother's or father's surname? The main thing is that he is healthy, right?
The famous singer Leonid Nikolaevich Agutin won the hearts of many fans and fans, achieving success in a short time. His hits are listened to not only in Russia and the post-Soviet space. Despite all life's difficulties, Leonid reached the maximum level in his musical career.
Agutin got married for the first time while he was a student. He lived with Svetlana Belykh for about five years. However, their marriage quickly fell apart after the singer met ballerina Maria Vorobyova abroad. But Leonid was not happy with her either; however, the couple had a daughter, Polina.
In the early 2000s, the pop artist met his next love, with whom he is still married. wedding star couple played in Italy, creating a romantic atmosphere. Since then, celebrities have been inseparable, as they perform together at concerts and go on vacation. Varum and Agutin created many joint albums, and their hits became the best in the music charts.
In 2011, the media started a rumor that the couple was separating, but this turned out to be untrue. Angelica gave Agutin a wonderful girl, Elizaveta, who followed in the footsteps of her parents.
Children of Leonid Agutin
Leonid is not only a talented musician and singer, but also a distinguished ladies' man. From Maria Vorobyova he has a daughter, Polina, whom he does not see often, since she lives in France with her mother.
Agutin has another daughter, but this time from Angelica Varum. Daughter Elizabeth decided to follow the same path as her parents. On this moment the girl lives and performs in the USA with her music group called "Without Gravity". Leonid loves his daughters very much and tries to spend as much time with them as possible.
Biography of Leonid Agutin
Leonid Nikolaevich Agutin was born in the capital of the Russian Federation on June 16, 1968. Due to the fact that his family was directly related to art and creativity, the boy went to school early and began to study the basics of music. His strong character and perseverance were developed by Father Nikolai, who at one time sold out concert halls.
When Agutin showed his talent, his parents sent him to the Moskvorechye jazz center. After this is over educational institution, Leonid immediately entered the Moscow State Institute of Culture at the department of stage director.
Leonid often went on tour with celebrities, gaining invaluable experience. While still a student, he not only sang, but also composed words and music. For example, in the early 1990s he won the music festival in Crimea, and his song “Barefoot Boy” became the best.
In 2008, the singer received the title of “Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.” At the same time, his album “Cosmopolitan Life” gained wide popularity not only in Russia, but also in Europe and the USA. This record was recorded with jazz guitarist Al Di Meola.
Now the artist manages to perform at significant events, sit on the jury and participate in various television projects. For example, Agutin evaluates talents in the show “The Voice. Children" and "Voice". In addition, Leonid intends to participate in other TV projects in the very near future.
Personal life of Leonid Agutin
The life of pop star Leonid Agutin is filled with bright and unforgettable moments. The artist never hid the fact that he loved to court girls and break their hearts. But he did this until he met his love, Angelica Varum.
Now he is happy, as he has two beautiful and talented daughters, with whom he loves to spend free time. Agutin specially gathers his family for big holidays to enjoy the presence of his relatives.
Family of Leonid Agutin
Leonid's parents were creative people. Father Nikolai was famous musician, he was known throughout the USSR. In addition, under the leadership of Nikolai, many musical projects. Now Agutin Sr. is working music critic and mentors young talent. Leonid's mother worked all her life as a high school teacher. She managed to achieve the title “Honored Teacher of the Russian Federation.”
It is worth noting that Leonid was the only child in the family, so he received maximum attention from the teacher and musician. IN early age his parents sent the boy to a music school, where he learned to play the piano. Agutin's father greatly influenced him creative success and was a great authority.
Varum is calling me again! Guys, I'm so tired of her! I don’t want to get married, but she got pregnant, damn it... - Agutin winced, pouring himself a beer with his friends. Thus began " romantic story» Lenya and Angelika. It is not surprising that their child now turned out to be of no use to anyone except his grandfather.
Information about the divorce of Varum and Agutin periodically appears in the press. They themselves, without officially divorcing, claim that they have a “guest marriage” supposedly because of different temperature preferences - Leonid likes to sleep with air conditioning, and Varum likes to sleep wrapped in a hundred blankets. In fact, artists apparently have different “temperatures” in their hearts. Ten years ago, Angelica did everything to achieve this marriage. Her father, the influential musician Yuri Varum, promised Agutin a career. A ten-year contract was signed for Lenya and Angelika to perform as a “family duet”, and when Varum became pregnant, Agutin had nowhere to go...
Lenya was always partial to drinking, say his musician friends. - And after the wedding, he realized that he had made a mistake by signing a duet contract with his wife. This simply killed him as a musician. Therefore, Lenya began to drink heavily, driving Angelica into hysterics and fights - and all this when she was in a position...
In February 1999, the star couple had a daughter, Lisa. And her parents immediately began a big joint tour around the country, then a wedding and a trip to Miami.
Leonid and Angelica saw their daughter once every three months at most - they were constantly on the road. There was a nanny with her. That's why the star parents overlooked the problem that needed to be dealt with from the very first months - autism. This is a very serious disease associated with impaired brain development. The child withdraws into himself, does not want to contact others, lags behind his peers in development, behaves bizarrely... Varum and Agutin, having learned about Lisa’s problem, decided that they would have no time to take care of the baby’s health, and sent the child to Miami, where he lives Yuri Varum with his young wife.
“I miss my granddaughter very much,” says Agutina’s mother Lyudmila Leonidovna, barely holding back tears, “ last time I saw her five years ago. Now I only see it in photos. She is sick and it is better for her to be in America. Unfortunately, Lizonka has almost forgotten the Russian language.
Star parents come to Lisa only during the New Year holidays. Meanwhile, Varum Sr. granted guardianship to his granddaughter, as if she had no parents... Liza’s illness is only getting worse. So that the girl would not sit at home alone, she was sent to various clubs, language schools, and sections. But after such a load, her head began to hurt terribly, she began to have hysterics, once she even tried to cripple herself... After that, the girl’s load was reduced...
By the way, Lisa is not only daughter Agutina. In his youth, Leonid lived for five years with his wife Svetlana, and after the divorce he began an affair with ballet dancer Maria, and in 1997 their daughter Polina was born. Then Leonid did not want to sign with the mother of his child; he limited himself to renting an apartment for him and his daughter.
It’s easier to love a child than each other,” said Agutin. - To live together and bear your spouse every day, you need truly crazy love. Maria and I only have Polina.
Apparently, Varum became his “crazy love”, or rather, the help of her father and the contract, which Agutin later regretted. But now the bone of contention in their family is not creativity or even their sick daughter Lisa, but Agutin’s addiction to drinking. His relatives unanimously persuade him to stop drinking, since the artist has a heart condition and has already been on the verge of death several times...
Stars who abandoned their children
As you know, the world of cinema, theater and show business has its own laws. And one of them says: a child is the same reason for PR as a newly built Vacation home or new car luxury class. So the stars photograph their offspring, starting almost from the first days of their lives, in a variety of focuses and angles. If for some reason the stars refuse to do this, this can only mean one thing: the relationship with the child did not work out. The reasons why theater and concert celestials leave their children are different, but the result, as a rule, is the same - the fate of their offspring is unenviable.
Separation from eldest daughter The actress considers it perhaps the main tragedy of her life. The actress gave birth to Nastya in her first marriage with Kyiv actor Vyacheslav Voronin. Some time later, Lidiya Nikolaevna was filming What is it like, the sea? In Sudak she met Vasily Shukshin and went with him to Moscow. The girl was temporarily taken to Leningrad by her parents, but soon began to complain that they did not have enough strength or money to support the child. So Nastya moved to Ukraine - to live with her father and grandmother.
When the girl went to first grade, Fedoseeva-Shukshina tried to return her daughter, but her ex-husband refused, and she went to court. There were 13 trials in total, of which Lidia Nikolaevna won only two. The decision on the last, thirteenth court was made by the Supreme Council of the Ukrainian SSR; it decided to leave Nastya to her grandmother, her father’s mother, as the girl herself asked. For some time, Fedoseeva-Shukshina still tried to see her daughter, but her relatives ex-husband hid the child from her. Meanwhile, in her marriage to Shukshin, she gave birth to two daughters - Masha and Olya, and she began to forget about Nastya.
Anastasia’s fate was not easy: she married a citizen of Luanda, gave birth to a daughter, lived for some time in her husband’s homeland, but when hostilities began there, she returned home to Kyiv. She was arrested and convicted of drug trafficking. Lidia Nikolaevna did not try to help her.
Actress and TV presenter Elena Proklova left her eldest daughter Arina from her first marriage with documentary film director Vitaly Melik-Karamov to her parents. The actress got married at 18, gave birth at 19, and soon divorced. There was absolutely not enough time for a child, because it was necessary first to study, then to make a career in cinema.
Then Elena had another family, in which everything was very, very difficult - the twin boys died soon after birth. Proklova got divorced again and threw herself back into work, which means she again had no time for her eldest daughter. The actress found happiness only in her third marriage, in which, despite the death of her newborn son, thanks to the love and support of her husband, she was able to give birth to a daughter, Polina, the same age as her granddaughter Alice. With her mother, Arina, at Elena's difficult relationships.
Lyubov Polishchuk surrendered her son, now - famous actor Alexei Makarov, to a boarding school, out of despair. At that time, Lyubov Grigorievna worked a lot, often went on tour, so her son studied for five days from the first to the sixth grade. In an interview, Alexey recalls that for a long time he did not even know that there were other schools where children came in the morning and returned home after school; he was sure that everyone studied in boarding schools. In the same way, the boy did not know that teachers and educators did not have the right to beat their students; he, like all his classmates, took slaps and pokes for granted: A dog that sits on a chain is sure that this is how the whole world works. The most interesting thing is that it never occurred to him to blame his mother: A female actress cannot be a housewife. The main thing for her is her profession; everything else, including her family, fades into the background.
When Lyubov Grigorievna married the artist Sergei Tsigal and her daughter Masha was born, Lesha was finally taken home. And his life did not get any easier: he nursed his younger sister - changed her diapers, fed her formula and put her to bed. And the boy’s relationship with his mother’s husband, to put it mildly, did not work out: for unlearned lessons an adult man hit the boy on the head. The son hid this from Lyubov Grigorievna, he did not want to upset her. But today, almost 6 years after his mother’s death, he is sure that if he meets his stepfather, he will have something to say to him.
Masha Rasputina gave birth to her eldest daughter Lydia in marriage with her first producer Vladimir Ermakov at the age of 22. But since the singer was actively pursuing a career at that time, she not only left her with her parents immediately after birth, but also hid the very fact of her existence from the public and journalists.
The fact that Rasputina has an adult daughter became known only when Masha married businessman Viktor Zakharov for the second time and gave birth to a daughter, Masha. Moreover, Lida’s appearance in Rasputina’s prosperous life was associated with a scandal - it turned out that from a child left without maternal care, a good-for-nothing creature grew up, unwilling to study or work. Take in new family The singer did not want an adult girl; she bought Lida an apartment and decided that she had done everything she could for her. It is not surprising that the daughter Once again I felt betrayed and did not want to communicate with my mother. However, it must be said that Masha answers her in kind.
The daughter of Lolita Milyavskaya and Alexander Tsekalo lives with her grandmother Alla Dmitrievna, the singer’s mother in Kyiv. Fourteen-year-old Eva has autism, a mental disorder associated with a brain disease, characterized by isolation, a person’s detachment from the world around him, limited interests and repetitive actions.
In one of the interviews, the singer said that at first her daughter was given a different diagnosis - Down syndrome (which is why she was even offered to leave the child in the maternity hospital), but it was not confirmed. The singer’s mother works with Eva a lot, thanks to which the developmental delay, inevitable with autism, is almost invisible. Lolita cannot be called a bad mother; she provides the girl with everything she needs, but she rarely appears in Kyiv. True, when he comes to a concert, he always brings his daughter backstage. The singer is not shy about taking pictures with her daughter, although the photographs show that the girl is unwell. But Milyavskaya doesn’t want to live with her, citing her extreme busyness. However, in comparison with Alexander Tsekalo, who does not even want to know his daughter from a previous marriage, this behavior of the singer seems quite normal.
Leonid Agutin and Angelika Varum
They say that the daughter of Leonid Agutin and Angelica Varum also suffers from autism. And parents, like Lolita, justify their reluctance to live next to her with their tense tour schedule. Their daughter Lisa has been living in Miami for almost 8 years with her grandfather Yuri Varum, grandmother (his young wife) and uncle - Angelica’s brother Mikhail. They say that immediately after the birth, Agutin and Varum went on a big tour, so they hardly saw their daughter (a nanny was sitting with her at the time), so the dangerous disease was not noticed in time. When they found out what was happening, they apparently got scared and sent the girl to America - when you don’t constantly see a sick child, then, it seems, your heart doesn’t hurt so much.
When answering questions from journalists about their daughter, Agutin and Varum always laugh it off: they say, Lisa often says that her parents abandoned her, although her mother and father fly to her for two months in the winter, and in the summer at the slightest opportunity. The girl just watched enough films on the popular topic in America: workaholic parents don’t care about their own children, and now she’s making such dark jokes. In addition, she has entered adolescence, when it is customary to be rude to parents and not be with them. common language. But, be that as it may, when Lisa has day in America, her parents in Russia have night, and this already says a lot. Moreover, Yuri Varum obtained guardianship over the girl.
