The soul of Leonid Kuravlev flew to his beloved Nina, I want to believe that they will meet.

Leonid Kuravlev was an exemplary family man, and his personal life was the standard of ideal relationships. The love story of the famous actor of Soviet cinema impressed us so much that we decided to devote a separate article to it. Today's edition. "Site" will tell about the wife of Kuravlev Nina Vasilievna, as well as about his beloved children.





Leonid Kuravlev: People stopped believing in love at first sight And about living with a loved one all his life, many are afraid to think. But it does happen. And the love story of Leonid Kuravlev and his wife Nina Vasilievna proves this.

Young Leonid first met Nina at the rink. The guy was 16 years old, and his future girlfriend was only 13. A fragile and tender girl floated on the ice, completely unaware of anyone around. But Lena had enough one look to irrevocably fall in love with the celestial beauty of the girl.





They did not immediately become friends: Kuravlev moved to the 10th grade, and Nina – to the 8th. The guys began to walk and call often, share their experiences with each other. Lenny's friend was different. She combined softness with severity, and kindness and friendliness with calmness.

Nina immediately made it clear that she was self-sufficient and did not need constant attention. So she never tried to keep Lena close to her. He could have gone missing for a few days and then come to her as if nothing had happened. And the girl was always happy with him.

Even then Kuravlev knew that he had found the only one with whom he wanted to live his whole life. Leonid was always a prominent guy, which, of course, noticed all the girls around. But the future actor simply did not notice them. When Kuravlev was a student of VGIK, he was focused exclusively on his studies.

Not only did he not dodge anyone, but he did not tell his classmates that he had a girlfriend. Even then, Leonid was quite a closed person who did not need to shout about his happiness. Immediately after graduation, the lovers got married.





While Kuravlev was actively building his career, Nina worked at school as an English teacher. She never boasted that her husband was known throughout the Soviet Union. She loved her quiet and quiet life. And Leonid Vyacheslavovich did not cease to admire his wife. He was proud that she was intelligent, knew a foreign language and gave his students the most important thing – knowledge.

It is no wonder that Nina Vasilyevna also grew up in her profession. She later became head teacher and then headmaster of the school. Meanwhile, Kuravlev conquered Soviet cinema. Colleagues in the shop often called him a henberry. But he didn't care. As soon as the shooting day was over, he immediately ran home to his beloved wife and children.

Personal life of Kuravlev: children Nina Vasilievna gave birth to her first child 2 years after the wedding. The daughter was named Katyusha. And the son Vasily appeared 16 years later. By the way, the boy was named in honor of the famous Soviet director Vasily Shukshin. It was he who opened the world of cinema for Kuravlev and gave him his first role.



The children of Kuravlev were brought up in their likeness: modest and decent people. Daughter Catherine wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father and graduated from the Shchukin school. And then managed to star in several films. However, very soon the girl realized that her calling is different. Katya became a therapist.





The son Vasily remained far from the profession of an actor. As a child, he was fond of sports, and after school he entered the Moscow Automobile and Road State Technical University. After graduation, he stayed there to work. And then he got a job at the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. In addition, Vasily runs his own business. The son of Kuravlev together with his wife Maria raises three sons: Stepan, Fedor and Gregory.

The loss of his wife, Vasily and Catherine, are not public people. However, the same can be said for Kuravlev himself. When his beloved wife Nina passed away in 2012, he became a recluse. The grief of the loss hit the actor hard. Having celebrated his golden wedding anniversary in 2010, he never thought he would outlive his wife.

But fate ordered otherwise. Due to a medical error, Nina Vasilyevna died. She could have been saved if she had been diagnosed right away. Unfortunately, however, that did not happen.





Having lost the meaning of his life, Leonid Vyacheslavovich practically stopped going out and contacting other people. He needed support and care, so the daughter moved in with him, and the son constantly visited him. It was thanks to his children and grandchildren that Kuravlev managed to get back on his feet. He even gave interviews after that. In them, he still idolized his wife, calling her the most beautiful and important woman in his life.

Leonid Kuravlev lived next to Nina Vasilievna most of his life, and their marriage was more than 50 years old. The personal life of the actor has always been something secret to him. When his beloved wife died, he was sure that he would be reunited with her in heaven. And we're pretty sure that's what happened.

Eternal memory to the loving husband and father Leonid Vyacheslavovich Kuravlev!
