Not everyone succeeds in maintaining good relations with an ex-wife or husband, especially if the divorce was initiated by the second half. Leonid Vladimirovich Yaroshevsky was no exception. His wife is a star and one of the most popular singers in Russia. What can this person still not forgive Valeria for and why are there so many unpleasant stories about her?
Failed teacher
In 1985, a significant meeting took place between Leonid Yaroshevsky and the future pop star. At that time, he was the leader of a jazz rock quartet and was looking for a vocal soloist for his ensemble. He attended vocal contests and at one of them saw a young creature with blonde hair. Ninth-grader Allochka favorably differed from other girls - calm, collected and serious for years. Leonid recorded the data and soon went to provincial Atkarsk to get acquainted with the performer.
Alla's mother was categorically against her musical career - the girl was to become a historian, and she did not see another future for her. The only and decisive trump card was the statement by Yaroshevsky that the philharmonic would give the girl the opportunity to enter the Gnesinsky Institute, and this already promised completely different opportunities and earnings in the future. Having received the consent of his mother, he takes Allochka to Saratov.
Cabbage, erotic and wedding
At first, seventeen-year-old Alla lived in a hotel, but in 1985 such expenses were burdensome for a simple musician, and soon the girl moved to the apartment of Leonid Vladimirovich Yaroshevsky. By that time he had divorced his wife, but still had no illusions about his soloist. For two years they lived as neighbors and shared together all the hardships of artistic life. There were empty shelves in the shops, but Alla was expert in her ability to cook cauliflower cutlets. Such a mistress could not help but please the young man, and he made an offer.
After receiving a blessing from their mother, they played a modest wedding at home. The life of two people from the world of art began. Traveling around cities and towns, cold hotel rooms, toilets on the street and the lack of any progress. At some point, Leonid received an offer to arrange a spouse in a new music group. But even Alla herself didn’t like the repertoire. She continued to sing in restaurants and taverns, and “Combination” with their simple songs became a popularly loved group.
To at least somehow stay afloat, the girl even sang in an erotic show. Any earnings were necessary. The family has already moved to the capital, where life was more expensive, but at the same time it did not acquire any benefits.
Divorce
At one of the restaurants on Taganka, the already eminent producer Alexander Shulgin drew attention to Alla. His track record already included work with Cruise, and he often traveled abroad. All this impressed the girl, although she did not seriously take his proposal to create a joint project. The producer was persistent, and soon they were already working on the first song and video. All this annoyed Yaroshevsky - even then he suspected something was amiss. The spouse was constantly absent. And he was ordered the way to the set.
Little time passed, and he heard fatal words from his wife about a divorce, although not long before that she called Shulgin fat and nasty. Leonid did not start scandals and after the dissolution of the marriage went to work abroad.
Was it or wasn’t?
Not so long ago, Yaroshevsky wrote a book about his acquaintance and life with Valeria. He also ascribes the authorship of her pseudonym. In particular, he states that he will never believe in his life that Shulgin beat his wife and she suffered all this for 10 years. He recalls how quickly and sharply she rebuffed the gopniks in bars, and the scar from a knife on her leg is most likely from her old boil. The first husband of Valeria Leonid Vladimirovich Yaroshevsky believes that this was a competent PR move of the singer. He is also sure that their mutual acquaintances do not deceive when they say that Shulgin will not be beaten in vain.
He considers Valeria's success and popularity to be his merit, because thanks to him, Valeria entered Gnesinka and took the first steps to success. Did he forgive the betrayal? No, and it is unlikely that this betrayal will ever be forgotten. Leonid will not tire of refuting the ex’s words that they parted even before she began an affair with Shulgin.
Now Yaroshevsky lives in Germany and works as a musician in a restaurant. The third time he did not marry and has no children. He gives interviews with pleasure, because this contributes to the sales of his book. Photos of Leonid Vladimirovich Yaroshevsky often appear on the pages of newspapers and magazines, but only in connection with his new revelations about life with Valeria.
