Victoria Brezhneva: biography and photos

Not so much has passed since the death of Leonid Brezhnev. His whole long life, including very contradictory family circumstances, is known today in detail and reliably, which can not be said about such information of the people in Soviet times. And to understand why the family of the strongest once in the USSR man had such a sad end, why the granddaughter of Brezhnev Victoria refused her daughter, how the latter found herself in Kashchenko, came out from there and became a homeless person, etc., it is worth studying the biographies His wife, daughter and, of course, his favorite.

A family

Brezhnev's wife - Victoria Petrovna - before the marriage was Denisova. However, there is an opinion that her real name is Goldberg. Victoria Petrovna Brezhneva was born in December 1907 in Belgorod, Kursk province. They had two children with her husband: Yuri's son, which for some reason and then, and today they say very little, and, of course, became famous as a lover of circus and diamonds Galina.

Brezhnev was considered the first Soviet politician of the Western type. His white tooth smile, funny dimples on his cheeks, solid clothes made women go crazy over him. It is said that the Secretary-General himself was not indifferent to the beautiful sex. But nevertheless, all his life he was married to only one. Sorrow and joy, ups and illness with him were shared only by her husband, Victoria Brezhnev.

Brezhnev's wife

Biography of this woman in the Soviet years for many was a secret. She always stayed on the second plan. Victoria Petrovna Brezhneva silently endured on her shoulders the evil fate and misfortunes that fell on the family. She, never interested in either the political or the state affairs of her husband, did not interfere in them. She was completely satisfied with the constantly arising worries with children. And the General Secretary himself tried not to go into domestic affairs. They say that at the slightest opportunity he went hunting, where according to the words of people close to him, Zavidovo was his second home. As a rule, the head of the USSR left there on Friday afternoon, and returned on Sunday evening.

In recent years, as his surroundings felt, domestic ones, including Victoria Brezhnev herself, were pleased with such trips. The wife believed that the constant family troubles became the cause of developing a husband's illness. They say that the only one who was loved by the secretary general was Brezhnev's granddaughter - Viktoria. In general, the family of the first person in the country had a complex relationship. But the greatest trouble was delivered to him by Galina Brezhneva. Victoria's daughter, Brezhnev, enjoying all the benefits, led a very rampant life, so the mother had much to hide from her husband.

"Headache" of the secretary general

It would seem from the birth of Galina was destined to become happy. She had a loving mother, her father was a high-ranking official, there was plenty in the house, all the doors opened before her. However, Galina's uneasy character did not allow Brezhnev to live peacefully. At twenty-two, his daughter escaped with a circus. The strength of Mila was much older than her. Galina easily exchanged her carefree life for uncertainty, having left with him. They say his father went insane. He tried to find the prodigal Galina, but she returned only a year later. When the father saw his daughter and son-in-law, as well as his granddaughter, he forgave them and even recognized Milayev. After the circus she had many connections, including extramarital affairs. Galina had several husbands and a lot of lovers. But her wild life after the death of her father came to an end.

The new government did not like her, Galina even tried to confiscate the car, her dacha, jewelry, father's gifts, but she managed to win the court. The daughter of Brezhnev rented out the dacha to live on this money. In many commissions of the capital, things that once belonged to her father were sold. Galina drank a lot, she died at the age of sixty-nine in the hospital all alone. Not even the granddaughter of Brezhnev, Viktoria, was present at the deathbed, whose biography also had many sad moments.

Childhood favorite

The history of the granddaughter, in which the Secretary-General Leonid Ilyich did not want to see the soul, could well be called worthy of a real novel. Victoria Brezhnev, whose photo often appeared on the covers of magazines, was not only the heiress of a distinguished name, but also an enviable bride. The most prestigious bridegrooms of the capital wished to ask her hands secretly. It would seem that she is assured of a serene and happy life until old age. But fate decreed in its own way.

As a child, Victoria did not need anything. Of course, she was a granddaughter, and favorite, Leonid Ilyich himself. But she was sorely lacking in ordinary maternal heat. And even though her grandfather and grandmother Victoria Petrovna did not like the soul in her Vitus, she did not have enough parents.

Galina and her husband constantly disappeared on tour. The daughter of Brezhnev found a circus troupe of make-up artists to travel around the world with her husband. She brought her expensive gifts to her girl, Victoria played with dolls that other Soviet children could not even dream about, but apparently this is not happiness. The girl wanted to walk with her parents, to be with her mom and dad more often, but that clearly was not up to her.

Apparently, this is the reason why Victoria was not sure of herself, which affected her later life. Her favorite men often betrayed her, they did not even conceal their desire to spend the money of her grandfather, and even deceived, ripped off. She was so short of human heat! Apparently, therefore, she, having become attached to her teacher from GITIS Raisa Logvinova, was friends with that and after graduation. "Soul-man", just such, according to this woman, was Victoria Brezhnev.

Biography

Galina's daughter, after graduation, entered the Pedagogical Institute at first, but was soon transferred to GITIS. She studied at the theater department, already being a young mother. With her future husband, Mikhail Filippov , Viktoria's granddaughter Brezhnev met by chance. He was also a student. Of course, the grandfather did not dream about this choice for his beloved, but he had to put up with it. The wedding was held. Soon Victoria Brezhneva, whose biography was supposed to be "starry," gave birth to a daughter. It was named in honor of the daughter of General Secretary Galina. I must say that my grandfather, though he did everything for his favorite, nevertheless, dissatisfied with her choice, did not even give the newlyweds an apartment, and so they all lived together in the house of Brezhnev.

A family

Victoria was very fond of her husband Misha. In the beginning, they were all well. But when Michael was in the son-in-law of the first man of a huge country, he began a dizzying career. And soon there were big money. As a result, Misha began to walk around. Obviously, Victoria Brezhnev knew about this. From desperation she began to take courtship of Gennady Varakuta, a student of GITIS, who came to Moscow from Kiev.

When in 1977 Leonid Ilyich learned that his married granddaughter had a violent romance, he was terribly angry and instructed Andropov to quickly sort out. Varakutu was kicked out of the institute for a day, allegedly for the fact that drugs were found in his bedside table. He was sent to Leningrad, but Victoria Brezhnev went after him. And already in 1978, she, having divorced with Mikhail Filippov, again married.

After the death of Leonid Ilyich

When their famous husband, father and grandfather died, the family began to suffer misfortune. Immediately everyone was unemployed. The widow of the secretary general, Viktoria Brezhnev, was evicted from her dacha. Moreover, she even took away her personal pension. Galina began to leave for booze, which was aided by the condemnation of her husband Yu. Churbanov, which happened in 1988.

Did not escape the bitter fate and granddaughter of Brezhnev Victoria. Her husband, left without work, tried to do business. Victoria tried to dissuade him in every possible way. But he did not listen and as a result he burned down, having lost a lot of money. In the family disagreements began, and Gennady Varakuta left his wife and connected life with Baibakov's daughter.

Failures

Victoria Brezhnev was very worried not only for her husband, but also for her mother. She struggled in every way with the latter's drunkenness, tried to treat her, but Galina, running away from the hospitals, insisted that she would still drink. As a result, the relationship between the mother and daughter was completely disrupted. And after the death of Galina Leonidovna, who died at the end of June 1998 in one of the capital's special hospitals, Victoria had to exchange two apartments located in Garnatov Lane and on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. She was sorely lacking the means to exist. Victoria Brezhnev herself did not work, and Galina's daughter began to have health problems.

Sacrifice victim

Soon Victoria Brezhnev sold and the famous grandfather's dacha. But it all ended sadly. As her former husband, Mikhail Filippov, said, the granddaughter of the secretary-general fell for the bait, which she was thrown by swindlers. Someone, like a well-known businessman who pretended to be a close friend, deceived the woman and robbed him. At one time he was the master of the restaurant "Beijing", known in certain circles as Kostya Pekinsky, who was later killed. It was he who persuaded Victoria to conclude a complicated and at the same time incomprehensible deal on buying and selling. Leonid Ilyich's granddaughter, who unlimitedly trusted the swindler, inscribed in his documents, not the real, but the symbolic value of her insanely expensive apartment.

But the deceiver, having paid her only a part of the money, promised to give the rest of the money later and even gave a receipt, which, however, had no legal effect. So, Victoria was left without money and an apartment, which her mother left her - Galina Brezhneva. The daughter of Victoria Brezhneva, whose biography also shakes her tragedy, along with her parent lost her shelter.

The story of "star great-granddaughter"

Those who saw her, will agree that she has a very strange appearance. I must say that Viktoria Brezhneva's daughter was loved by her famous great-grandfather even more than her mother. She grew up in luxury and love from a young age. Unlike mother, she was not deprived of parental love. The people surrounding the family, looking at the little tick, were touched and believed that the girl was prepared for a happy and prosperous future. But how wrong they were ....

Instead of providing a carefree life, Viktoria Brezhneva's daughter, Galina, learned from her own experience what poverty, illness, hunger, psychiatric hospital and, finally, betrayal of the mother's closest and most loved person.

Childhood and youth

Victoria Brezhneva gave birth to her on March 14, 1973 in Moscow. Her father was a banker thanks to the grandfather of his wife, Mikhail Filippov. When Galochka was only five years old, her parents split up. Victoria was married again. Her stepfather - Gennady Varakuta - treated the girl fairly well. According to relatives, he brought her up as if she were his own daughter.

But Victoria Brezhnev with her new husband lived in harmony and love only a few years. After some time and in the second family problems began, followed by another divorce.

But the great-granddaughter of Leonid Ilyich was always surrounded by care and affection. She was constantly looked after by her nurse. Nina Ivanovna was always there. Victoria gave her daughter to an elite Moscow school with an English bias. And after graduating from Galya, she entered the Faculty of Philology at Moscow State University. According to both classmates and classmates, she was a capricious and wayward young lady.

Marriage

After receiving higher education, Galina, through the patronage of her stepfather, became a secretary to one of the Moscow companies. But the answers to phone calls, keeping records and preparing coffee for the boss quickly bored the girl. She went to the service without much enthusiasm, and when the reductions began, she quit her own will. Then she was twenty-five years old.

Biography of the girl changed dramatically when her mother - Victoria Brezhnev - found her with the help of the bridegroom's wedding agency. Oleg Dubinsky - that's the name of a young man - worked as an engineer and, according to the granddaughter of Leonid Ilyich Viktoria, perfectly suited her son-in-law's position. Galina did not particularly resist the will of her mother, and therefore agreed to marry. The wedding of the great-granddaughter of Leonid Ilyich, held in 1998, was celebrated without special luxury.

Mother and daughter

But the life of the young did not improve. And one day, finally parting with Oleg, Galina Filippova returned back to her mother. As a result of life's vicissitudes, the woman began to drink slowly, which did not please Victoria Evgenievna.

To cure her daughter of an addiction, her mother sent her to a hospital for them. Kashchenko. So Galina in her incomplete twenty-eight years was first in the institution for mentally ill. And while she was there on compulsory treatment, Victoria Brezhnev, entangled in the operations with real estate, lost two of her very expensive apartments. And finding himself without a roof over his head, the granddaughter of Leonid Ilyich went to live with his lover in the Moscow region.

Treatment

For all the time, while Galya was in the hospital, her mother never visited. After leaving the clinic, the great-granddaughter of Leonid Ilyich, being unnecessary and left without a roof over his head, began to wander. For a whole year, a once prosperous girl wandered around the Moscow gateways, trying to get herself something to eat from the garbage cans. In the summer months, she slept behind the garages next to the Tretyakov Gallery, and in the winter Galina slept in the wooden houses in the courtyards for children's games. And all this time Victoria never asked her.

The appearance of Brezhnev's great-granddaughter was changed beyond recognition. Exhausted, with practically no teeth and with a shabby head, she did not sound like the pampered young lady she once was.

Coincidence

This lasted for several years. Once the homeless Galina wandered to bask in the entrance of the building of her ex-husband. The mother-in-law, who did not recognize her "star" daughter-in-law on the floor, called an ambulance. And again the medical workers took Galya to Kashchenko. There, at first, none of the medical staff believed that before them was Brezhnev's great-granddaughter. And only after she asked to call her nurse, so she confirmed her identity, the attitude towards the young woman has changed. And although the medical staff treated her well enough, leaving her in the hospital was not possible. The head of the clinic helped her in the design of the disability and in the placement in a boarding school for mental patients. Here great-granddaughter Brezhnev spent seven whole years.

Help came unexpectedly

For all the time that Galya was bugging or being in a madhouse, her mother - Victoria - did not remember her daughter. The woman wrote to her, begging to take her to her, but all requests remained unanswered. Galina did not want to help, and her father, Mikhail Filippov, who currently lives in Malta. After the divorce from Victoria, he married again, and the fate of the child from his first marriage did not bother him. The only person who remembered Galya was her very old nanny. Only from her daughter Victoria Brezhneva from time to time received parcels with gifts and letters. And it is not known how the fate of Brezhnev's great-granddaughter would have developed, if circus artists Natalya and Alexander Milayev had not recognized her misadventures. Consolidated sister and brother of Victoria for many years lived in the US, and therefore did not even guess what a sad fate befell their niece. Today, Galina lives in the suburbs, in a one-room apartment, which she bought someone from his grandfather's entourage.

Finally

Victoria Brezhneva - granddaughter of the secretary general - believes that she did not betray her daughter. She lives herself, breaking from bread to water, trying to earn money by translating. As for Galina, the mother despaired of her re-education, and therefore prefers to stay away. Who is right, and who is to blame, no one can judge today, but there are always rumors in the society about a certain curse over the Brezhnev family ...
