The daughter of Vlad Liszt became a victim of a crime. Vlad Listyev lived with the gynecologist of his wife and mistress! Contribution to the development of television

At the funeral, the ladies mourned him three together

20 years ago, the most famous Russian TV journalist and producer Vladislav LISTEV was killed: on March 1, 1995, he was shot dead in the entrance after returning from the air of the author's program "Rush Hour". Former Vzglyadovets Evgeny DODOLEV (author of the books Vlad Listyev. A Biased Requiem and Vlad Listyev. A Field of Wonders in the Land of Fools) is filming an unusual documentary about his legendary colleague. This is our conversation.

- What is the point in the next film about Vlad, is there any new information about the customer of the crime?

The customer has been known for a long time, but it is better to keep such a case in the status of “undersolved”, since at any moment you can turn the next character to the crime. This is convenient, especially those interested in troubleshooting Listeva there were many, including almost the entire television elite (with the exception of those who worked with him on the same team Ernst, Ugolnikova and others). Indeed, many claimed the high post that Vladislav occupied: Anatoly Malkin, Irena Lesnevskaya, and the candidate from "VID" was Andrey Razbash. For them, the appointment of Listyev came as a surprise. And most of the oligarchs who were in competitive relations with Berezovsky were unhappy with the situation - Vlad was his creature.

- And Boris Abramovich himself? Well, he was the client... - Why, you have already talked about this version on the pages of Express Newspaper!- Indeed, that publication was seen even in London and across the ocean. The point is that Berezovsky Badri Patarkatsishvili they didn’t expect that the TV presenter would be so actively involved in financial flows, and decided to push him away: they planned to just scare, but the performers overdid it. The day before the murder, Listyev and his wife were in the reception room of LogoVAZ, Berezovsky's headquarters, five minutes from their house, where the assassination attempt took place. Vlad did not want Boris Abramovich to solve his problems on his behalf and behind his back. However, the movie that we conceived with Larisa Krivtsova, not about that. We want to give the floor to people who, due to various circumstances, were not involved in numerous video memoirs, but at the same time remained close people: his surviving relatives, friends and comrades-in-arms. - And why did Krivtsova, known as the discoverer of Andrey Malakhov's talents, take on such a job?- For any professional television broadcaster, Leaves is a significant figure. Not to mention that in the late 80s Eduard Sagalaev planned to involve young Krivtsova in the so-called Tuesday broadcasts of Vzglyad. All these years, the monopoly on family memories belonged to the widow, Albina Nazimova, which, of course, played the role of Pygmalion: "CEO Vlad Listyev" became her personal project. Without her, Vladislav Nikolaevich really would not have become the head of Channel One.

Alimony of discord

Albina also influenced personnel policy. Vitaly Wolf, for example, is her creature. Nazimova, and after Listyev was killed, communicated both with Wolf himself and with his common-law spouse, head of the New Drama Theater Boris Lvov-Anokhin. And Albina's new husband - Andrey Razbash personally attended the funeral of Boris in April 2000.

- People with a wild imagination meaningfully recall Vlad's close friendship with the lawyer Andrei Makarov, about whom Alexander Nevzorov wrote about as a sex man named "Tatiana", because of his orientation. - Makarov was also Albina's choice. In general, she was attracted to extravagant characters. I remember from Valentin Gneushev she introduced me; the circus director seemed to her a kind of "new Viktyuk". As for Vlad himself, he somehow received a note from the audience at a meeting with the audience with the question: “How do you feel about homosexuals?” And he replied: “We are not one of them.” This caused such a storm of laughter that Listyev kept the note and practiced this number from time to time. To the dismay of the fans who came back for his performances.

Oral editions during the "Vzglyadov" period were the main source of income for Listyev and his partners. Then, when the advertisement appeared, the alignment changed rapidly. Vlad became a millionaire by the mid-90s, but he never focused on money.

- But he refused to even pay alimony to his daughter ...- When it was? During my student years. FROM Valeria Vladislavovna Listeva I met on the set of the issue of "The Battle of Psychics", dedicated to the death of her father. Acquaintance determined the concept of our film with Krivtsova. I realized that even if Vlad's children know so little, the new generations do not understand at all what kind of person the TV idol of the 90s was. That's about alimony, for example. He did not refuse to pay his ex-wife Lena Esina, just tried to reduce the amount: he, a journalism student, had to raise money for a new family. Tatyana Lyalina bore him two sons: Vladik (who was disabled) and Sasha. At the same time, two boys also had a brother - Kolya Lyalin, just a year older than Vlad Jr. Obviously it was hard.

Appearance doesn't matter

Was Vlad generous?

When he had money, he littered it right and left. But not only this liked women. Producer Rimma Shulgina, who was just a friend to him, recalled: “When we went somewhere together, I felt like his woman.” Sometimes he could run into his employees, offend, even humiliate. But everything was forgiven him: an ocean of charm. Director of "Sight" Tanya Dmitrakova, co-author of "Themes" Maya Lavrova, again Shulgin - they all remember Listyev with nostalgia. Rimma and after the death of Vlad took part in his fate. It was she (through acquaintances from Petrovka) who organized the farewell to Vlad of his last lover - Vera Ogryzkova: an investigation was underway, and no one was allowed into the morgue. I first voiced her last name, you still won’t find her on social networks. After the murder of Vlad, Vera was convincingly “explained” what would happen if she began to “shine”. The official widow was Nazimova, this was not discussed. But Vera still secretly came to the funeral.

- That is, Nazimova knew about this novel?- Of course. Once Albina even arrived at the airport, knowing that her husband would fly from a romantic business trip with a passion. She just went up to Vlad, ignoring Vera, and took her home.

Marina PENKINA (our days)

She knew about many of her husband's hobbies. Despite the fact that for Vladislav these were not some kind of intrigues, he really fell in love and fell in love with himself. He made women happy, and himself sometimes unhappy. Although, of course, like any bohemian character (and Vlad was such, unlike, for example, his colleagues in Vzglyad Dima Zakharova or Sasha Politkovsky), he regularly had one-time “overflows”. There was a period when Listyev often hung out in the studio Nikas Safronova in Georgian. So the owner of the workshop was constantly besieged by girls in love with Vlad, asking him to give his phone number ...

With Vera, who was assigned the code name "Veranda", he met on the basis of his passion for tennis. And they met at a party where Vlad came with another of his passions - a graduate of VGIK Marina Penkina.

- Where did Penkina come from?- I first saw her Leaves at the Kinotavr. Mark Rudinstein invited Listyev to conduct the opening ceremony of the festival in tandem with Tatyana Dogileva. And after the festival, Marina came under the wing of Vlad, worked in the VID company even after his death. She was engaged in the talk show "Theme" together with Maya Lavrova, a pupil of Andrei Razbash. She also attended the funeral.

- Did all the women of Listyev have something in common?- It's like looking. Albina is a miniature woman, and Vera, on the contrary, is large. Nazimova is brunette, Penkina is fair-haired. Vlad himself liked to repeat that the appearance of a woman does not matter to him, the “zest” is important to him. But these ladies had something in common. You won't guess anything. Imagine - Vera Ogryzkova - "Veranda" was the gynecologist of her friends: both Marina Penkina and Albina Nazimova!

"Night" - Albina

- It's strong! But, I think, Vlad chose his girlfriends according to other criteria.

Undoubtedly! He and his companion should not be bored. And, of course, she must be like-minded. I think that's why Listyev broke up with his first wife, Elena. Still, it was a youthful passion, "on the hormone", there were no common interests. By the way, the first-born from the second wife, Tatyana Lyalina, was born on May 12, 1982, when she was not even a wife. The divorce from Lena took place almost six months after that - on October 14. Let me remind you that Vlad Jr., at the age of three months, became blind and deaf due to the negligence of doctors, and six years later the child died ... By an evil irony of fate, on the night when Vlad slept after a report from the children's hospital, which he filmed for Vzglyad . - Did he really love Tatyana Lyalina?- Yes, it was a long and lasting relationship. Because of them, Vlad was almost expelled from the university: while working at the 1980 Olympics, a couple were caught in a room in one of the Olympic hotels. The official wife, Lena Esina, and mother-in-law were called to the department - that was another scandal. After that, Listyev was closed for an internship in Cuba. Instead, he went to work in Belarus, to a meeting of veterans. On July 30, 1980, the young people celebrated their anniversary, on March 18, 1981, their daughter Lera was born. And the fruit of the love of Vlad and Tatyana - Vladislav Jr. - saw the light of day the next year. It may seem to some that Vlad was dishonest, but the fact is that he did not hide his throwing from women, the stars just aligned. And who is without sin?

- That is, it was always about love at first sight?- Hardly ... When the music editor of "Vzglyad" introduced Vlad to Nazimova, they did not like each other, only later an affair began. It seems to me that Albina loved him, but as a pet, to which the mistress is attached. She is cold, not without reason she was called Nochka in the youth team. And in some matters she held the leash tightly. The same Shulgina recalls how, during a joint vacation in Hawaii, Listyev happily said: “Alya got burned, she will be in the room all evening, so you can drink a couple of cocktails at dinner!” Albina does not tolerate drunkards, which is why Vlad was "reformatted". Of course, had he not met Nazimova, he would not have become the head of ORT at the end of 1994. Maybe he would have survived, or maybe he would have drunk himself. It was a time of stress and movement. Time for bold challenges. She herself recalled how at night after the appointment she found her husband awake and asked: “Well, donkey, is it scary?” Then they laughed and fell asleep. It was their favorite family anecdote. - Which one?- A donkey wound up in the forest, who fucked everyone indiscriminately. The animals went to bow to the Serpent Gorynych, complained about the big-eared one. The owner of the forest found a donkey, blew a flame from his nostrils and asked: “Well, is it scary?” Donkey, trembling with fear: “It's scary. For the first time now, such a terrible ... I will. That is, these two, even if “love passed - the tomatoes wilted”, remained friends and partners.

The fate of the children

Are Listyev's children friendly?

No, unlike the five children of Razbash (who, by the way, was a much bigger heartthrob than his illustrious colleague), son Alexander and daughter Valeria, alas, do not communicate. And the grandchildren of Listyev, respectively, too. Both Lera and Sasha have two children. Valeria relatively recently gave birth to a son, I thought she would name her in honor of the famous father, but her parents chose the name Bogdan. This is her second marriage, the first was not the most successful: the betrothed turned out to be an avid player. Well, Alexander Vladislavovich told me that he intended to divorce Yanoy Shandruk(they have been married for four years) and move to Kyiv: his new betrothed was the daughter of a famous Ukrainian politician. He, in my opinion, looked after work there on TV. He has been involved in a number of drunken racing scandals... Yes, I did for a couple of weeks. At this age (Sasha is now 32), his father was the same dashing hussar, he could go on a drinking binge, start an affair, break the air, so the genes take their toll. Not yet evening. Vladislav Listyev, on the other hand, managed to become the most famous television man, the favorite of the state. Alcohol and journalism are compatible. And that's what we're talking about in our film. - Is the film about Listyev dedicated to the 20th anniversary of his death?- Initially, they planned to broadcast on March 1, but I found out that a wonderful director Konstantin Smilga shoots a new version of his tape about Vlad for Channel One, and decided to time our work with Krivtsova for another anniversary: ​​in the spring of next year - Listyev's 60th birthday, and the story about his family is more suitable in format for a birthday than an anniversary of death.

Vlad Listyev is a journalist who, during his lifetime, managed to become a real legend in his profession. He was called the embodiment of the Russian dream and the most honest journalist of the nineties. He was loved by the audience and respected by his colleagues, which is why even now, many years after his death, the name of Vlad Listyev is still well known. His life and destiny is a delicate interweaving of riddles and secrets. That is why today we decided to talk about his biography in a little more detail in order to shed light on some important moments of his fate and career.

The early years of Vlad Listyev: from sports to television

From childhood, Vlad Listyev was a very athletic person. At an early age, he began attending a sports boarding school and a few years later received the title of candidate master of sports in athletics. In this discipline, the future journalist has achieved impressive success. He became the champion of the Soviet Union in the 1000 meters in the junior age category, and then for several years successfully worked as an instructor in the Spartak sports society, where he taught physical education. Labor activity in this place was interrupted only with the receipt of a military summons. Leaving work, Vlad Listyev went to the Moscow region, where he subsequently served two years in the Taman Guards Division.

After returning from the army, our today's hero first thought about a career in journalism. At that time, this sphere of activity was under the strict control of the state. However, this fact did not bother the young guy at all. Driven by the dream of a career in the field of television and print media, Vlad Listyev entered the Moscow State University at the Faculty of Journalism.

It was during the student years that the formation of Vlad Listyev's professional views began. This process continued in those years when he began working as the editor of the Main Propaganda Studio of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Union of the Soviet Union, which was mainly engaged in broadcasting to foreign countries. During this period, he got the opportunity to look inside the world of Soviet journalism, which at that time was a rather pathetic sight.

During these years, as Vlad Listyev later recalled, for the first time, an understanding was born in him that journalism should be objective and honest. Paradoxically, however, such ideas were something completely outlandish for the country of the Soviets of the early eighties. The author's view of things, journalism independent of the state - all this will begin to actively develop in the USSR only a few years later. Thus, Vlad Listyev and some of his colleagues became a kind of pioneers of honest and independent journalism in the USSR. Perhaps this is precisely the role of our today's hero in the history of the Soviet Union.

Vlad Listyev's career on television

In 1987, Vlad Listyev began working as one of the hosts of the Vzglyad program, which was created with the support of the Youth Editorial Board of Central Television.

In those years, this project was something almost unique for the republics of the USSR. The TV show that went out on Fridays gathered millions of people at the screens, who finally got the opportunity to hear a new opinion on the important and topical issues that disturbed Soviet society at that time. The hosts of the Vzglyad program talked about what was usually not accepted to talk about. And this was their fundamental difference from many other journalists in the USSR. Problems of domestic and foreign policy, attitudes towards capitalist countries, the theme of religion, sex, modern music - all these issues received a fundamentally new sound in the Vzglyad program.

Thanks to this, at the end of the eighties, the Vzglyad program acquired a cult status in the USSR. On the wave of success, Vlad Listyev and some of his associates founded the VID television company, which subsequently created programs for Channel One (later ORT), as well as some other television studios.

In 1990, the television company began its activities, and already in 1993, Vlad Listyev became its president. Under his leadership, the company created a huge variety of information and entertainment programs. The most popular of them were the projects "Guess the melody" with the presenter Valdis Pelsh, "Field of Miracles" which is still led by Leonid Yakubovich, "Rush Hour", "Star Hour", "Silver Ball" and others. On the creation of many of these programs, Listyev worked not only as a producer, but also as a TV presenter.

Killed Vlad Listyev the other day 1995

However, the success of the TV company "Vid" and personally Vlad Nikolaevich became the reason for the behind-the-scenes struggle, which resulted in the early resignation of the former president. Listyev switched to the ORT channel, where he later also successfully worked. But not everyone liked his honesty and integrity here either. One of the most resonant decisions was the moratorium on the display of commercials on the channel, caused by the merger of advertising agencies that sought to solely control this area of ​​​​activity.

The murder of Vlad Listyev

Some almost romantic desire to change the world for the better eventually led to the death of Vlad Listyev. The number of his ill-wishers in Russia in the nineties grew every year. And therefore, by and large, his death was only a matter of time. He interfered with too many, and therefore the news of the contract killing of Vlad Listyev did not come as a surprise to anyone.

Vlad Listyev. 20 years without a legend

On March 1, 1995, the journalist was shot dead in the entrance of his own house. Customers and perpetrators of that murder have not yet been found.

Subsequently, several documentaries were filmed by the Russian media and many different versions were put forward about the death of the legendary television producer. However, none of them received official confirmation.

Personal life of Vlad Listyev

In the life of a journalist there were three marriages. The first two unions of Vlad Listyev broke up, and only with the second wife did our today's hero continue to communicate after the divorce. The reason for this was the many experiences that the journalist shared with his ex-wife Tatyana. They had two sons, one of whom died just before the age of six.

This circumstance caused a prolonged depression, from which only his third wife, the artist Albina Nazimova, was able to “pull out” the journalist.

There were no children in this marriage. From previous unions, Vlad has a daughter, Valeria, and a son, Alexander.

Valeria Listeva told the online publication "GORDON" how, before the fatal shot, her father recognized his killers, and her mother-in-law sued the apartment and two cars. About how Vlad Listyev left her pregnant mother for another woman, and her daughter communicated with her father only through a secretary. And also - about how the last wife of Albina Nazimova, on the third day after Listyev's death, rewrote his millions to herself, about meeting with her father's secret love and about his wife's connection with Andrei Razbash.

Irina MILICHENKO
Journalist

The name of the TV presenter Vlad Listyev is known even to those who have never been interested in television. During perestroika, with the advent of this man, programs appeared on TV that the whole country watched - "Look", "Theme", "MuzOboz", "Silver Ball", "Field of Miracles", "Rush Hour", "Guess the Melody" .. "Leaves put the people in front of the TV," they joked in the 90s. Although during his era, many "well-wishers" openly accused Listyev of imitating Larry King for his manner of communication and appearance - a snow-white shirt, tie and famous suspenders, but this did not make the TV presenter less fans. At the peak of his career, Listyev had many envious people. Still - young, ambitious ... In January 1995, at the age of 38, Listyev became the general director of the ORT television company, and in the late evening of March 1 he was killed in his own entrance.

Twenty years have passed since this high-profile murder last year. Boris Berezovsky, Sergey Lisovsky, Listyev's last wife Albina Nazimova appeared in the case, but a record number of versions never solved the murder. In May, Vlad Listyev would have turned 60 years old.

On the eve of this date, the only daughter of the TV presenter told why her father's friends turned away from them, and the murder case has not been solved so far, about his millions, life before popularity, about why she did not want to follow in her father's footsteps and chose the earthly life of an ordinary person.

Maybe in fifty years they will name my father's killers, and then they will forget and everything will settle down, as was the case with Dima Kholodov, Alexander Men and Anna Politkovskaya ...

Valeria, more than twenty years have passed since the death of your father. Over the years, several books have been published on this murder, but they have not led to a solution. Do you believe that they will ever find customers?

To date, the case has been frozen, there are no new facts. There was a moment when someone from the Borisov and Solntsevo groups let it slip about something, and again they began to deal with this matter, but they talked - and forgot. All this is a mystery shrouded in darkness, which is still classified as "secret". We may never know the clues, and if this happens, the person will not be returned anyway.

- Isn't it purely for yourself that you would like to figure everything out?

I thought about it ... But even if you find out, it won’t get any easier anyway, it’s better not to know and sleep soundly. Although, perhaps, in fifty years, they will still name my father’s murderers, scold them, and then they will forget again and everything will settle down, as was the case with Dima Kholodov, Alexander Men and Anna Politkovskaya ...

There are at least four official versions of Listyev's murder. According to one, he became a victim of the jealousy of his women, according to another, he ended up in a love-financial triangle, then the case was hung up on the now deceased oligarch Boris Berezovsky, but he disowned him. In 2008, Konstantin Ernst, in an informal conversation, called businessman Sergei Lisovsky the customer of this case, but did not find legal evidence. Which version do you follow?

There were many more versions, but many of them are just guesses and assumptions. Someone did not share, intimidated, frightened, but who, why and for what - is unknown. I think half of those people who knew something were removed a long time ago. And about Lisovsky ... Well, they said, who does it feel better for? Nobody reacted to this. If so, then the poor children of this man! They will suffer, karma will return everything to them.

In those years, people, one might say, reached crazy finances, there was a terrible division, money was carried in suitcases, boxes, and no one tracked it. It seems to me that the main reason why dad was killed is money, and not his professional activities.

Vladimir Putin last March demanded an increase in the resolution of high-profile political crimes, both current and past. Do you think that if your dad were alive today, the GDP would support him in relation to the channel's policy?

Honestly, I can't even imagine what could have been. This is no longer of interest to anyone. Even Putin! Today it is interesting about Baskov, Volochkova ... In my opinion, dad would have done modern television in a completely different way, it would have been more interesting. After the death of my father, my grandmother talked with his secretary, and he said that many of the music and children's programs that various TV channels make today are dad's ideas. He watched American programs and adapted a lot for the Russian market.

Lyubimov called dad a jumper and a clown. Big love when there's big money, no

The host of the Vzglyad program, Yevgeny Dodolev, wrote in his book that TV presenter Alexander Lyubimov was a brilliant liar, and Listyev did not want to talk to him in recent years, and Leonid Yakubovich was allegedly tortured to sign a paper about your father's departure from the Field of Miracles program. Do you believe this information?

Dodolev is such a visionary! What he says and writes must be divided in two. I talked with him and realized that the person knows nothing, lies and makes a name for himself on this. Lyubimov called dad a jumper and a clown. There is no big love when there is big money. All friendship is based on one phrase: "To find out who your friend is, you need to give him a loan." Dad had no friends - there were people who were nearby. And then, to be the general director of Channel One ... A completely different person should have been in this position. Nobody expected that they would choose a pope. He was more of a creative person than a boss. I wanted to go to the deputies, but then gave up, said: "This is not mine, I have to do something else."

- Colleague of your dad on "VI Du" Alexander Politkovsky said that Listyev's murder was committed out of stupidity, they just wanted to scare him a little ... You can believe this, given that no one coveted the large amount of money that Listyev had on the day of the murder.

For those people who killed him, what he had with him was not considered money. Many assume that they wanted to scare dad ... There was even a version that two different people wanted to scare, and both sent murderers that day. And they did not understand each other. But, as the investigator told us, dad recognized one of the killers, a person never turns around if he is in danger, and during the investigative experiment they found out that dad turned around and at that moment a second shot was fired. The first one hit the arm, and then the control one hit the head. So they don’t scare, but end the murder.

There are many mysteries in this case. For example, the third father's wife, Albina Nazimova, said that she was at home with her girlfriend on the day of the murder, heard the shots, but did not come out, and then the girlfriend was about to leave, Albina decided to see her off - and saw the corpse ... Sheer stupidity. I know from the words of lawyers that she was not at home that day. I don’t understand Albina’s logic, why lie? When I periodically see her on programs and hear about some kind of honesty, decency, high qualities ... Why scream about it unfounded if everything is wrong? The man cheated and still does. The truth will come out sooner or later.

You visited the entrance of the house on Novokuznetskaya Street, where your father was killed, twenty years after the tragedy. They said that Albina sold this bad apartment ...

No, after the trial, the apartment was left to the son of the pope from the second wife of Tatyana Lyalina - Sasha. How he did it, I don't know. In general, this apartment was supposed to be divided into three families of the pope, but my grandmother (and she, on our part, was engaged in these matters) immediately refused the part, said that we did not need it.

My dad's son doesn't want to talk to me. Maybe thought I was up to something

- And your half-brother, the son of Listyev from his second marriage, what part of the property went to?

Sasha studied in England for a long time with his father's money, and then returned to Russia, tried to find his own way in journalism, but the niche was occupied, his father's surname no longer says anything there. Now I do not know about his future life. My brother and I don't talk.

But after all, you had a normal relationship, you said that you first crossed paths with him at the grave of your father. What happened?

At first, everything was fine and we often called each other on the phone, our children were even born almost at the same time. He has a son, and I have a daughter, and then vice versa: I have a son, he has a daughter. She invited him to birthday parties and just to visit, but he does not want to make close contact. I don’t know what happened, I’m not a selfish person, I can’t impose myself. Maybe he thought I was on to something.

Once, his mother threw a phrase that I, as the eldest, had to look for meetings, but I did not understand how this was possible. The man destroyed my family, my relationship with my mother, and after that I had to meet with my brother! As it happened, so it happened, so it had to be so. It's a pity that it happened... Few relatives left, on the father's side, in general, everyone died.

Three days after the death of the pope, his third wife, through notaries, began to transfer all his property to herself

They talked a lot about the division of Listyev's inheritance, allegedly the third wife of Vlad Albina Nazimov wanted to keep most of his wealth.

This was not a carve-up, but a grab on her part, and a very active one at that. Three days after the death of the pope, his legs were still warm, but the grieving widow began to transfer all his property to her name. There is evidence of this, the lawyer's papers.

In television circles, they said that Albina's romance with Andrei Razbash began during the life of Vlad Listyev, and they rallied thanks to the joint actions of the TV company VI D. Do you know anything about this?

Yes, at that time Albina was already with Andrei. They talked for six months. As for the shares, we also had a piece left, but we sold it to friends of the television company for a symbolic sum, so long as they did not touch us. All the time there were talks that it would be necessary to pay dues, and then there was not enough money even for this, so we sold it.

After the trial, Andrei Razbash brought us money, with which we bought a small two-room apartment in Moscow. And they sold two cars and a plot and invested in my education and vacation abroad

There was talk that when Listyev's inheritance was divided, Razbash helped you sue one apartment on the outskirts of Moscow, according to other information, you received two apartments and a VAZ car. How was it really?

There were no two apartments. After the trial, Andrei simply brought us money, with which we bought a small two-room apartment in Moscow. And they sold two cars and a plot and invested in my education and holidays abroad.

It was possible to claim more, but did not want to interfere. Anyway, this is someone else's finances, you can't build happiness on them. What got, got got. It's a shame, but what can you do? Albina had a lot of lawyers, so that everything went only in her favor. There is a category of women who have such a grasp in their blood. I can't do that and neither do my family. We will give ours. Our grandmother was engaged in everything, our interests in court were represented by her lawyer. Everything was decided only through the court, otherwise they would not have given us anything. As my grandmother said, all the lawyers wanted to handle this case, but as soon as they took it on, they refused the next day and openly said: "It's a very difficult case, we won't help you."

Is it true that your family was told in plain text: "Don't dig this case, otherwise we'll bury you"? Did people call from Albina?

Yes. There was a warning... We don't know from whom. Of course, they drew conclusions. It was terrible while the trial with Albina was going on, and it dragged on for almost five years. The police often came to our house, checked my grandmother, my mother, and she had already met with another man, they checked him too. I was very young then, I heard all these conversations and was afraid that one of us would be imprisoned. Mom was called to the department, they checked all the versions, they thought maybe she was involved in this case. It was unpleasant. In 1999, we bought an apartment and it all ended. Mom did not want to do these things at all, she told her grandmother: "If your health allows, do it." I let go of this situation even as an adult. I have had many different cases in my life, but I always say: "It's okay, we'll make money." So, someone needs this money more.

The lawyers who conducted the investigation assured that there were about $ 16 million in the accounts of the TV presenter. Even at that time, it was more than a decent fortune. Do you think the amount is real?

I think there was much more, but they don't reveal it to us.

Albina's first husband also died, then Razbash, who's next?

- Many people called Albina a black widow: Razbash died shortly after Listyev ... Several years ago there were rumors that she had an affair with actor and showman Igor Vernik ... Do you know anything about this?

Yes, and her first husband died, then Razbash, who's next? Wernick - this is so, PR, so that no one forgets.

Have you met Albina at least once in your life?

Never. I don’t know her personally, but Albina’s actions seem to be a dishonorable person. I saw Andrei Razbash when he brought money, a couple of phrases were exchanged, and there were no more meetings with any of them.

- Do your dad's colleagues and friends communicate with you?

We are not interested in anyone. None of the "Vidovskys" communicates with us either. I don't even know if we'll cross paths. After the death, there was a version that we are bad, and the second and third spouses of the pope are good. Everyone adhered to this information for a long time and they poured mud on us.

There were legends about Vlad Listyev's personal life: they say that for the last year he lived with his last love, Vera, Albina's gynecologist. You saw this woman in a program that the NTV channel filmed about you. What impression did she make on you?

Yes, the entveshniks introduced me to her. From our mutual friend, I learned that they met for a long time with dad. In their circles, everyone knows about each other, who sleeps with whom, where they go, they like to procrastinate. This woman seemed to me a good doctor, an interesting person, but I visited her only once, the guys filmed her with a hidden camera, it seems that she did not understand that she was being filmed, it was unpleasant for me that I came to the person for the first time to ask something . I don't know anything more about her. I only know that Albina forbade her to come to her father's funeral, there was a big scandal.

Albina Nazimova has not been seen at the cemetery for many years. She pays people to look after the grave of the pope, but she herself did not appear there even on the 20th anniversary of his death

Your father would have turned 60 this May. Do you celebrate his birthdays?

On the day of birth and death, I like to come to the cemetery, but, as a rule, I do it before or after the date. There are people there these days, and I don't really like crowds. By the way, Albina erected a monument to dad, she decided what it would be like. But she has not been seen in the cemetery for many years. She pays people to look after the grave, but she herself did not appear there even on the 20th anniversary of his death. Now the guys from Vlad Listyev's community on the Internet want to put a board on the house where he lived for the anniversary of the pope, but they cannot agree with the residents, they do not want pilgrimages to be organized there.

Valeria, you found out about your father at the age of 13, he did not take care of your upbringing. Why didn't mom tell you whose daughter you are before?

No, I found out at the age of six. Somehow there were no questions, no need to beat my chest and say who my dad was. Maybe I was brought up differently. Yes, and my mother was offended as a woman, after all, dad did not act very tactfully with us - he left for another family. I was born in March 1981. I was without a name for a whole month. When it came time to register me, my father came to sit with me, and my mother went to complete the paperwork. Papa also said, "Just don't call her by any fancy name." Then periodically came, walked with me. But when a year later his son was born, he stopped coming to us. Mom raised in me respect for my father, did not inspire that he was so bad, he left us. Of course, like any child, I wanted to have a father. But he wasn't even interested in me. He has such a cycle, earnings have begun, any family will go by the wayside.

- Your dad was killed in March, and in April you were going to meet him. Whose initiative was it?

Babushkin. She hinted all the time: "Maybe you want to meet?" Although we communicated with dad only through his secretary.

Didn't you even have his phone?

No. He has a job, a career, when did he have to do it? Grandmother passed the photographs to him through this man. We had a meeting scheduled in April. But I did not insist, although I wanted to see him. At that time I was a notorious, modest girl, even at school no one knew who my father was. Whose daughter I was became known when a tragedy happened to my dad. Until now, if they ask, I do not hide it, but I say it calmly, I do not boast of this relationship.

- How did your parents meet?

I asked my mom a lot about it. I wondered how they met when they were young. My mother Elena Esina has known Vlad since the age of 16. They are in the Sports School of the Olympic Reserve. The Znamensky brothers studied with the same coach, and they met there. The coach considered dad to be the second son, he showed great promise in sports, he ran a lot. Even with my mother, when they were already together, every day I arranged jogging in the morning.

At first they lived in a civil marriage, and on July 30, 1977 they signed, only close relatives and a couple of sports friends were invited to the wedding. They lived on a scholarship, both studied well. Dad worked part-time, but still there was not enough money, it happened, they borrowed money from relatives. And my grandmother sent them some money, but not much. There was a normal, unaffected life. At the same time, gifts were made to each other regularly. Dad gave mom a gold ring. Without diamonds, but with amethyst, beautiful, solid. I still wear it sometimes. Jeans (they were then in fashion), a handbag, a sheepskin coat, they already bought together.

At home, I don’t have a single joint photo of my parents, dad took them with him when he left mom for his second wife

By the way, dad's wedding suit was rented, but there were no wedding photos left - the film was exposed. At home, I don’t have a single joint photo of my parents, dad took them with him when he left his mother for his second wife, and it is not known where they went from there. My first husband after the divorce also took all our joint photos ( laughs).

- And how did your mother take such a blow?

Very hard. Mom put her soul into dad. When you love a person, you treat him differently. There was no profit. No one knew that he would be so famous. They were married for almost five years. The mother lost her first child, as did the second wife of the father. For some reason, with the first children, dad was tragic. The mother's first baby was born at the age of seven months, and then such little ones were not nursed. Doctors generally told her that she would never be able to have children, but after a while she became pregnant with me. And in the fourth month I found out that dad had an affair with Lyalina. They met at the Olympics, a relationship began, they were caught in a hotel.

Dad rushed between mom and Tatyana. At some point, my mother felt sorry for herself, could not stand it and said: "I need to bear the child." She preferred calmness to the fight for her beloved man. I do not judge, I put myself in her place: if I found out that my husband had another, I would not fight for him. Mom had to give birth, and there come what may. Tatyana chose to fight off her father and break up our family. The father and mother divorced only when Tatyana had a second son.

Did your father even pay child support?

He paid, but when Vladik was born from his second wife ( he died at the age of six. -"GORDON". ), and then Sasha, it was financially difficult for him and he asked through the court to reduce the amount of alimony. There was even an official paper that said that he was asking for less pay, given that he had three children. Mom was surprised then, she said that if dad came and honestly said: “Len, you understand, I have such a situation, everyone needs help,” he would pay half of the alimony. But it is not humanly to decide this through the court. They also accused my mother of writing some letters in her own defense, and she didn’t even know anything about it. I worked two jobs and my grandmother helped. After this incident, they stopped communicating altogether. Although dad came, he sat with me when I was little, but the trick with

Many women of the former, even after a strong resentment, do not forget. How did your mother react when she found out about her husband's death?

It’s hard, but she didn’t lie in any mental hospital, as they wrote about it. A psychologist worked with her for a whole month, she had some kind of stupor. Sometimes I come from the store, and she sits and looks at one point. And so for hours. Now my mother is retired and resting. She takes care of her grandchildren when we visit her. After dad, she had a man, they talked for more than 15 years, but it didn’t work out so that they could get married again. It seems to me that she was so hurt after the betrayal of her father that she could not decide on a second marriage.

- You said that you read your father's letters. And to whom were they addressed?

Grandmother, his mother-in-law. She left for the GDR for several years to work and did not take part in the family life of the young, they only corresponded. I keep all these letters, periodically re-read them, my grandmother gave them to me, I laminated them so that they do not turn yellow over the years. In letters, they told how they live, equip their life, what they eat, how dad works at two jobs. Dad wrote that mom cooks delicious food. And he loved to eat, he was a terrible sweet tooth, in addition to ice cream, as Albina said, he adored everything sweet. They didn’t show off then, there was no food on the shelves, as now, but my mother made delicious cakes, baked meat.

Dad asked his grandmother in letters to send him a suit from the GDR, even drew a sketch, measured from his fingertips where he wanted to see what line on the jacket. Grandmother then mailed this suit to him.

In general, I have a lot of my dad's things: a tracksuit, sneakers, high-platform shoes, badges, sports certificates, and even his party card.

Many condemn that Vlad Listyev's daughter works as a manicurist, but it's better to do what you love and run to it than to wake up and go with a terrible mood to something you don't like

"I am not Ksyusha Sobchak, but a normal, down-to-earth person, without lofty troubles." Photo from the personal archive of Valeria Listeva

Your fate was also not easy: you studied to be a speech therapist, but became an ordinary manicurist. Why did the daughter of a famous father choose such an earthly profession?

Yes, I graduated from Moscow State University with honors, and then I realized that I love another profession. I am a specialist in manicure, pedicure and nail extension. I wasn’t drawn to journalism, a thankless profession… Although I tried to write articles and essays on nail aesthetics, I even thought about writing a book about my dad. I am currently on maternity leave with my second child. Prior to that, she taught at the Dolores Hairdressing Academy and participated in many competitions. To some extent, this is also creativity, communication with people, the realization of fantasies. Many people condemn me that Vlad Listyev’s daughter works as a manicurist, but it’s better to do what you love and run to it than to wake up and go with a terrible mood to something that you don’t like. I'm like a dad, a workhorse, I love to work. The husband laughs: "How did I manage to put you on maternity leave in time, otherwise you would have worked!" My profession is in demand, if the specialist is good. It used to be that I left at 6 in the morning (and I also had clients on Rublyovka), deputies came to me with their wives until you had traveled around everyone, you would stand in traffic jams, you would return home at one or two in the morning. But on the other hand, like dad, I liked to spend everything I earned on a grand scale.

- Clients were not surprised when they found out whose daughter you are?

For a long time, my clients did not know this, I had a surname from my first husband, and I was embarrassed about what I was doing. And then I realized that there is nothing like that, every person can be realized in his profession. Dad also worked with anyone, he started generally as a janitor.

- If your father were alive now, do you think your relationship would have developed?

I think we would have a normal relationship, because we are selfless people. I would learn his skill to communicate with people, keep up the conversation. There are very few journalists on the screen who can communicate pleasantly, without humiliation and falsehood, with an interlocutor. Dad knew how to build a conversation in such a way that a person was interested, he liberated himself even with people who were not very favorable for him, he knew how to find an approach.

Periodically, I review some of the "Vidov's" programs that my father led. He did it with such ease, as if he had just read it and went on the air. I still remember how in some issue of "Theme" he accidentally fell in front of the audience, and then got up and said: "We have such a theme - even stand, even fall." How could it get out like that?

- Do you dream about dad, do you feel his help?

No, he never came to me either in visions or in obsessions. Of course, I am offended, because I did not see him either alive or dead. Sometimes, there is a craving to talk, and I go to the cemetery. When she got married for the first time, she came to him on the wedding day right in her wedding dress. She left the guests: “Wait,” I say, “I’ll go to my dad, I’ll get a blessing and come back.” Everyone was shocked that the bride came to the cemetery, but her husband reacted normally to this. The second husband reacts differently to everything, sometimes he jokes: “My God, Vlad Listyev’s daughter cleans the apartment at three in the morning!” But I am not Ksyusha Sobchak, but a normal, down-to-earth person, without lofty troubles.

Vladislav Nikolaevich Listyev. Born May 10, 1956 in Moscow - killed March 1, 1995 in Moscow. Soviet and Russian TV presenter and journalist, the first general director of ORT, entrepreneur. Author and first presenter of the programs "Vzglyad", "Rush Hour", "Field of Miracles", "Theme".

Father - Nikolai Ivanovich Listyev (1931-1973), was the head of the district headquarters of the Committee of People's Control, a foreman in the electroplating shop at the Dynamo plant. At the age of 42, he committed suicide by poisoning with dichloroethane.

Mother - Zoya Vasilyevna Listyeva (1934-1996), a copier in a design organization at the Dynamo plant. After retiring, she got a job as a cleaner in the subway at the Kakhovskaya station. On June 30, 1996, at the age of 62, she was hit by a car. She died on the way to hospital No. 7, a large percentage of alcohol was found in her blood.

There were problems in the Listyev family due to his mother's drunkenness - because of this, his father committed suicide. For many years, Vladislav did not know anything about the true cause of his father's death.

Mother remarried a young man - his stepfather was only 10 years older than Vlad, abused alcohol and drugs. Listyev's mother drank with him.

It is known that the birth of Vladislav was difficult, the boy was dragged with forceps, which is why marks remained on his temples for a long time.

He graduated from the boarding school named after the Znamensky brothers of the Spartak sports society in Sokolniki, a candidate master of sports in athletics. He was the champion of the USSR in the 1000 meters among juniors.

Then he worked as an instructor in physical culture of the sports society "Spartak".

He served in the Tamanskaya Guards Division near Moscow.

After the preparatory department, he entered the Moscow State University (MGU) at the international department of the faculty of journalism. He was a sports manager of the course and a foreman on the “potato” (according to tradition, journalism students helped the Borodino state farm to harvest in September-October, first-year students of the international department and then the entire second year went on such a long business trip).

In 1982 he graduated from the Faculty of Journalism with a degree in Literature for Television.

After graduation, he worked as an editor of radio broadcasting to foreign countries of the Main Propaganda Editorial Board of the USSR State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.

In 1987, he moved to work in the Youth Editorial Office of the Central Television as one of the hosts of the Vzglyad program.

Inspired by the success of the Vzglyad program, Listyev and his colleagues founded the VID television company (abbreviation for Vzglyad and Others), which still produces television programs for Channel One.

Since 1991, Listyev has been the general producer of the television company, and since 1993, its president.

During his work at the VID television company, Listyev was the author and first host of such television programs as Field of Miracles, Theme and Rush Hour, as well as the creator of the Star Hour, L-Club, Silver ball" and "Guess the melody"; during the same period, he began to conflict with partners in the company. In the book "Vlad Listyev. Biased Requiem ”it is said that Listyev was“ removed ”from the post of president of the company by his colleagues - Alexander Lyubimov took his place.

In 1994, he became the initiator of the "Race to the Survival" auto show, which has been held annually since 1996 in various cities of Russia.

In January 1995, Listyev left the VID television company, becoming the general director of the new ORT television company. There was a version that Berezovsky chose Vlad for the post of general director of ORT, since of all the candidates he was the only one who had the title fifth point.

Listev immediately starts serious changes in the economic policy of the company. The Board of Directors of ORT, at the suggestion of Deputy General Director Badri Patarkatsishvili, takes an unprecedented decision - to introduce a moratorium on advertising on the first federal channel from April 1, Vlad Listyev approves this order. This decision was directed primarily against the association of advertising agencies that controlled the placement of 100% of advertising on ORT.

"Of course, he possessed the main talent of the presenter, namely, the ability to "break through" the screen and be sitting next to each individual viewer ... Every time he was the leader, the program received absolutely tremendous popularity ... He found the key to the viewer , knew how to interest this viewer, and he did it professionally to a high degree, "said about him.

Repeatedly invited to the jury of the Major League of KVN.

Vlad Listyev. Parting

Personal life of Vladislav Listyev:

Was married three times.

After the death of Listyev, much was revealed from his personal life. This handsome and minion of fate was actually not such a happy person. The first two marriages of Listyev broke up. With his second wife Tatyana, Vlad Listyev maintained friendly relations after the divorce. They have gone through too much together. They had two sons. One of them died at the age of six. And this for a long time knocked Listyev down, in fact broke the second family. Only the artist and producer Albina Nazimova, who became his third wife, was able to get him out of serious binges. But Vlad did not communicate with his first wife Elena Listyeva at all, although the showman's daughter Valeria grew up from his first marriage.

First wife- Elena Valentinovna Esina. They got married in 1977 after Vlad graduated from a boarding school, their marriage broke up two and a half years later. The couple had a son who died shortly after birth.

In 1981, the couple had a daughter, Valeria, a manicure specialist. Vlad did not take part in her upbringing. Valeria has children: Anastasia and Bogdan.

Elena Valentinovna said: “Vlad and I met when I was 16 years old. We got married when we were still students. But Vlad was fond of women, he drank. When our daughter was born, I filed for divorce. He went to his mistress Tatyana Lyalina, who later became his second wife. We did not communicate with Vlad anymore ... Vlad did not take part in raising the child. He paid alimony, but never saw his daughter. "

The farewell ceremony took place on March 2-3, 1995 at the Ostankino concert studio. On March 4, 1995, a funeral service was held in the Church of the Resurrection of the Word on Uspensky Vrazhek and a funeral at the Vagankovsky cemetery in Moscow.

Funeral of Vladislav Listyev

According to investigator Boris Uvarov, who was assigned to investigate the murder of Listyev in 1995, when he reported to I. about. Attorney General Alexei Ilyushenko, that the case was practically solved, and asked to sign a number of authorizations for the arrests and searches of the suspects, he was immediately forcibly sent on leave.

After the murder of Listyev, a number of criminals confessed to his murder, but then retracted their testimony. For example, the suspect in the murder of deputy Yuri Polyakov confessed to the murder of Listyev, but then he refused to testify.

On April 21, 2009, the investigation into Listyev's case was suspended, but a new investigator may decide to resume it. The Investigative Committee believed that the prospects for the Listyev murder case looked “vague”, since many of the defendants in this case were dead.

The main suspect in ordering the murder of Vlad Listyev was Boris Berezovsky.

In 1996, Forbes magazine published an article "The Godfather of the Kremlin", in which Paul Khlebnikov suggested that Boris Berezovsky slowed down the payment of the penalty by Listyev to Lisovsky. According to the article, the situation "definitely looks" like Berezovsky is in charge of the founders of criminal networks in Russia. Berezovsky sued the magazine, and subsequently withdrew his lawsuit in agreement with the defendant, who published a refutation of his own words about Berezovsky's responsibility for the murders of Listyev, for any other murders, as well as descriptions of Berezovsky as a mafia boss. The colleague Glushkov mentioned in the article was not found guilty of stealing state property in 1982, as Khlebnikov had previously alleged.

In 2000, Khlebnikov published the book "Godfather of the Kremlin Boris Berezovsky, or the History of the Plundering of Russia", where he expressed his point of view on Berezovsky's activities.

Khlebnikov argued in his book that the original idea of ​​privatizing Channel One belonged to Vlad Listyev. Being the leading producer of the channel and the author of the idea of ​​its privatization, Listyev was the main candidate for the post of head of the new company. According to Khlebnikov, the management of LogoVAZ pushed Berezovsky's ally, producer Irena Lesnevskaya, to this position. However, Listyev was nevertheless appointed general director, and Berezovsky was appointed deputy chairman of the Board of Directors.

Khlebnikov quoted Alexander Korzhakov as saying that the privatization of Channel One took place in the winter of 1995 and that Berezovsky had sold the shares out of competition to business structures convenient to him. Since, according to Russian law, privatization must be carried out through a public auction, ORT was formally privatized illegally. According to Khlebnikov, Berezovsky favored Menatep, Stolichny, Alfa and National Credit, Gazprom and the National Sports Fund. Khlebnikov claimed that Berezovsky had turned down Lukoil, Onexim-Bank, and Inkombank, competing banks with his interests.

According to Khlebnikov, ORT's total share capital was $2 million. Berezovsky's companies bought 16 percent of the shares. Berezovsky also controlled another 20 percent. According to Khlebnikov, with an investment of about $320,000, Berezovsky acquired control of Russia's main television channel, with the state receiving 51 percent of the shares. Khlebnikov claimed that Listyev's negotiations with the head of Reklama-Holding, Sergei Lisovsky, dragged on. It was assumed that the state, having 51 percent of the shares, would continue to make massive injections into the TV company's budget.

In the book "Vlad Listyev. A Biased Requiem” refutes Lisovsky's involvement in the murder of Vladislav Listyev.

Immediately after ORT's privatization, CEO Vlad Listyev decided to focus on an activity that was missing millions of dollars from the channel: selling advertising time. He began to negotiate with the head of "Reklama-Holding" Lisovsky. The advertising tycoon apparently offered to pay ORT compensation for the right to dispose of advertising on the channel and thereby retain sole control. On February 20, 1995, Vlad Listyev introduced a temporary moratorium on all types of advertising until ORT developed new "ethical standards". Korzhakov argued that "the abolition of advertising (on ORT) meant personally for Lisovsky and Berezovsky the loss of millions in profits."

According to Khlebnikov's materials, in one of the reports, an employee of the capital's RUOP noted that Listyev feared an attack and at the end of February told his closest friends why he could be killed. When he decided to end his monopoly on advertising, Lisovsky came to him and demanded damages in the amount of $ 100 million, threatening to kill him. Listyev said that he had found a European company that was willing to pay much more for the right to manage advertising time on ORT - $200 million. According to Khlebnikov, Listyev turned to Boris Berezovsky, the chief financier of ORT, with a request to carry out an operation to pay 100 million to Lisovsky. Khlebnikov wrote that the money was transferred to the account of one of Berezovsky's companies, and that Berezovsky promised to transfer the funds to Lisovsky in three months.

Khlebnikov claimed that, according to the analytical service of Onexim-Bank, Listyev's ban on advertising on ORT was explained by the fact that he was seeking better offers for the right to dispose of advertising on ORT. Lisovsky offered ORT 100 million dollars, but Listyev counted on 170.

Khlebnikov wrote that Berezovsky was negotiating with several criminal gangs at that time, and that in early 1995, the gangster authority, who was in prison, announced that he had received a request to kill Listyev from Berezovsky's assistant Badri Patarkatsishvili. However, Badri was arrested during a large-scale cleansing of Moscow from criminal elements and placed in prison. According to information from Khlebnikov's book, on February 28, the day before Listyev's murder, Berezovsky met with a thief in law named "Nikolai" and handed him $100,000 in cash.

According to Khlebnikov, Berezovsky claimed to have given the money to Nikolay in order to find those responsible for the bombing of his car outside the LogoVAZ building last summer. Khlebnikov wrote that Berezovsky met with the thief in law in the presence of two police officers and ordered two of his security agents to videotape the meeting "to prove that he was being blackmailed."

Khlebnikov claimed that at 3 pm, when Berezovsky returned from the memorial service to the LogoVAZ building, there were many policemen from the RUOP and riot police there. They produced a search warrant and permission to interrogate Berezovsky as a witness in the Listyev case. The oligarch demanded an explanation, and his guards (including an FSK officer, Alexander Litvinenko) did not let the policemen through. The confrontation continued until midnight. In the end, the Ruopovtsy asked Berezovsky and his assistant Badri to drive to the police station for interrogation. Khlebnikov claimed that Berezovsky had called Acting Prosecutor General Aleksey Ilyushenko, and that the latter had ordered Berezovsky and Badri's statements to be taken at the LogoVAZ office, not at the police station.

According to Khlebnikov, Berezovsky asked Irena Lesnevskaya, a friend of Yeltsin's wife and one of Channel One's chief producers, to perform with him. Khlebnikov wrote that Lesnevskaya blamed Vladimir Gusinsky, Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, and the KGB for the murder of Vlad Listyev. As a result of a video message from the heads of the investigation, Moscow Prosecutor Gennady Ponomarev and his deputy were fired, and the police were ordered to leave LogoVAZ and Berezovsky alone. Khlebnikov quoted Korzhakov as saying that Berezovsky "openly used his political connections to avoid legal interrogation." Berezovsky hid from the investigators that he met with Listyev at the LogoVAZ reception house on the eve of the murder.

There were other suspects in the Listyev case - on the day when an attempt was made to search the LogoVAZ building, the police also raided the work of advertising tycoon Sergei Lisovsky with a search. Khlebnikov wrote that after the murder, law enforcement agencies never interrogated Gusinsky in connection with the murder.

Paul Khlebnikov was killed in Moscow by unknown assailants on July 9, 2004. As of 2016, the crime remains unsolved.

Another suspect in the murder of Vlad Listyev is Sergey Lisovsky.

On April 4, 2013, on the website of the Snob magazine, an interview was posted by journalist Yevgeny Levkovich with the director of Channel One Konstantin Ernst from 2008, where the latter allegedly claimed that Sergei Lisovsky was the customer behind the murder of Vlad Listyev. After the scandal broke out, Snob removed the material from its website, but the text of the interview, taking into account its increased significance, was reproduced by the Kommersant newspaper. Ernst disputed the authenticity of the central fragment of the text (but not the interview itself), the journalist did not provide an authentic audio recording of the key quote, Lisovsky again denied his involvement in the crime.

On July 31, 2013, on the air of the Dozhd TV channel, the former Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Skuratov, under whom the investigation into Listyev's murder was carried out, said that Ernst's version of Lisovsky's involvement in Listyev's murder was close to his own.

Lisovsky was one of the defendants in the criminal case, Anatoly Kucherena acted as his lawyer. Lisovsky was repeatedly mentioned in the media in connection with a high-profile murder, he was interrogated more than once in the framework of a criminal case, while Lisovsky never hid from the investigation, which distinguished him from the alleged operatives of the organizer of the murder - the authority of the Solntsevskaya organized criminal group Igor Dashdamirov and the alleged perpetrators, brothers Alexander and Andrei Ageikin.

After the resignation of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Skuratov in 1999, during which the main investigative actions were carried out and the circle of suspects was established, the press again spread the version of the involvement of four main defendants in the crime, the first of which was called Lisovsky. According to Skuratov, the investigation was hampered by the Kremlin because the alleged sponsor was a sponsor of Yeltsin's 1996 presidential election campaign.

Reflecting on the motives for the physical removal of Listyev and the threads leading to Lisovsky, Paul Khlebnikov quoted Alexander Korzhakov, who claimed that the privatization of Channel One took place in the winter of 1995, and that B. Berezovsky sold the shares out of competition. Khlebnikov claimed that Listyev's negotiations with the head of Reklama-Holding, Lisovsky, dragged on. On February 20, 1995, Listyev introduced a temporary moratorium on all types of advertising until ORT developed new "ethical standards". Korzhakov argued that "the abolition of advertising ... meant personally for Lisovsky the loss of millions of profits."

Listyev's murder was one of the most high-profile murders of the 1990s and remains unsolved to this day.

Later, one of those convicted in the case of the murder of Galina Starovoitova, Yuri Kolchin, a member of the Tambov group led by the "authority" Barsukov (Kumarin), testified about the murder of Listyev. As reported in the press, Kolchin told law enforcement officers that Boris Berezovsky ordered Vlad, and Kumarin and thief in law Yakovlev (Grave) were developing the murder, and the St. Petersburg shooters were the perpetrators.

According to Kolchin, Berezovsky turned to St. Petersburg thief in law Yakovlev (Mogila) with a request to deal with Listyev. Yakovlev, in turn, at a meeting in which Kolchin participated, recalled to a certain "authority" Kanimoto that he owed him, and offered to atone for the financial debt by doing the job - the murder of Listyev. Kanimoto got in touch with the fighters from the Tambov group of the "authority" Kumarin, having received the go-ahead from the head of the gang. Listyev was shot in Moscow, according to Kolchin, by Eduard Kanimoto, Valery Sulikovsky and another St. Petersburg shooter. And Berezovsky, Grave and Kumarin are named as customers.

In October 2009, the investigation into the murder of Listyev was entrusted to investigator Lema Tamaev. “It is too early to put an end to this matter, it is not subject to termination. The investigation of the criminal case has been suspended, while instructions have been given to the operational services, and as soon as significant information appears, the investigation will be resumed, so the work continues,” Vladimir Markin, official representative of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, explained on January 15, 2013.

Vlad Listyev. Looking back twenty years

On March 1, 2015, on the 20th anniversary of Listyev's death, the biographical documentary Vlad Listyev. A look in twenty years. Commenting on 20 years of unsuccessful attempts by the investigation to solve the crime, he again announced that he has his own clear and logically consistent version of the unsolved murder, but there is no legally significant evidence, so he cannot publicly voice it.

This man is rightly called the legend of Soviet and Russian television. During his short life, Vladislav Listyev managed to change the format of television broadcasting in the late USSR and early Russian Federation, creating a whole series of extremely popular programs. The audience owes him the TV programs "Rush Hour", "Guess the Melody" and "Field of Miracles".

Vladislav Listyev is a man of a difficult and gloomy fate. He managed to build a whole television empire, bravely defended his principles, but at the same time he was unhappy in his personal life. The TV presenter tried to commit suicide and suffered from alcoholism for some time.

Childhood and youth

Vlad Listyev was born on May 10, 1956 in Moscow, in a family of workers at the Dynamo plant. The boy studied at a sports boarding school at the Spartak society, went in for athletics and at a young age became the champion of the USSR in the 1000 meters.

When Vladislav was in the 10th grade, his father committed suicide by drinking a poisonous solution. The tragedy occurred due to the fact that Nikolai Listyev was afraid of being accused of missing money from the factory cash desk. This was a blow to Vlad, but the troubles did not end.

After a short period of time, Zoya Vasilievna's mother brought another man into the house, who both abused alcohol himself and persuaded a woman to do so. Soon Vlad got married and moved in with his wife.

Initially, Vladislav, even while studying at the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University, did not plan to go on television, as the coaches predicted a breathtaking future for the young athlete. He had the necessary physical training, with a height of 177 cm, his weight did not exceed average parameters.

The young man worked as a sports coach and he himself was preparing for the 80 Olympics. Everything went to the fact that Listyev was to become the champion and hope of Soviet sports. But due to stress, family problems and a difficult financial situation, Vlad's sports results were getting worse, and therefore he had to abandon his career as an athlete.

The young man went deep into his studies. Vlad acquired new knowledge so well that after graduation he was offered an internship in Cuba. Unexpectedly for everyone, Leaves refused. He already knew for sure what he wanted to do, and therefore decided to gain a foothold on the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.

TV

Starting with an internship at the State Radio and Television, Vladislav, thanks to his talent and tenacity, quickly managed to make his way upstairs. Already in 1982, he began working as an editor in the broadcasting department, which specialized in broadcasting abroad. In other words, propaganda. There, the journalist made a number of useful acquaintances among colleagues and in 1987 moved to Central Television as co-host of the popular Vzglyad program.

By decision of the Central Committee of the CPSU, this TV show was to become an alternative leisure option for young people and a substitute for foreign radio stations, which in the late 80s were of interest to teenagers and young people. The format of the program is infotainment.

In the Soviet Union, it was one of the few legal ways to hear foreign music and experience Western culture. In addition, Vzglyad raised political and social topics. The calculation was justified: the program gained such popularity that when they tried to close it in 1990, a rally gathered in front of the Moskva Hotel.

In the same year, Vladislav Listyev and his team founded the VID television company, whose logo was well remembered by every fan of television programs in the 90s. In 1991, Vlad received the position of General Director of the company.

The idea of ​​​​Vladislav Listyev was the show "Field of Miracles", which first appeared on television in 1991. The same person was the first host of the entertainment program. Vladislav said that the type of casino roulette prompted him to a similar format of the show, and the team took the name for the transfer from a fairy tale about.

There were no similar TV programs in the post-Soviet space. Due to the novelty of the concept and the active participation of show business, television and film stars as guests, the new TV show was doomed to success.

Thanks to Vladislav Listyev, one of the first talk shows in the Soviet Union also appeared - the Theme program, where topical social and political problems were discussed.

Since 1993, when Vladislav took the chair of the director of the television company, he began to have serious disagreements with the team. In total, Listyev held the post for 1.5 years, after which he was replaced by former associates.

In early 1995, the TV presenter moved to the newly created ORT company, where he took the position of general director. Rumor has it that the TV journalist got the post not only for his merits, but also because of his nationality (unlike the channel's shareholders, he was Russian).

In connection with the active work at the new workplace, Vladislav Listyev was subjected to repeated threats. The TV presenter wanted to break the existing monopoly of advertisers and saw the task in making television not a means of advertising and propaganda, but a public educational and cultural center.

After Listyev decided to impose a moratorium on advertising on the channel, the number of threats increased. Colleagues and relatives advised the journalist to hire a bodyguard, but Vladislav still did not believe that something really threatened him. As it turned out, in vain.

Personal life

Vladislav met his first wife, Elena Esina, at a sports camp, while still an athlete. Lena was also involved in athletics. Vlad instantly fell in love, and soon the couple got married. Then the first-born was born - a weak boy who did not live even a day.

Elena experienced a severe nervous breakdown, began to behave aggressively with her husband. Yes, and Vladislav, they say, began to look at other representatives of the fair sex. In the end, despite the birth of a second child, the couple separated.

He did not communicate with his daughter Valeria Listyev. The TV presenter doubted his paternity, although the journalist's relatives and friends noted the strong similarity between the girl and Vlad.

The second chosen one of the journalist and presenter was his colleague Tatyana Lyalina. Young people met at the university. Unfortunately, this marriage was not a happy one either. The couple signed, they had a son, named Vladislav in honor of his father. The boy suffered from indigestion from the first days of his life. Doctors tried to help the child, but to no avail - he was paralyzed. Soon, due to the flu, the baby lost his hearing and vision, and at the age of 6 he died as a result of an accident.

And although the second son Alexander soon appeared in the family, Vladislav was too depressed to enjoy life. The TV presenter tried to commit suicide.

After they managed to save him, Listyev began to drink, not even paying attention to his favorite work. Tatyana tried to appeal to her husband's mind, but this did not work, and the couple divorced.

From the bondage of alcoholism, Vladislav Listyev was pulled out by the third wife Albina Nazimova. She forcibly took her lover away from noisy companies with alcohol, quit her job and devoted all her time to her husband. Rumor has it that thanks to her Leaves has achieved such heights. Albina herself denied these rumors. Together with his wife, Vlad found peace of mind for the first time. For an ideal marriage, only children were not enough.

The lovers signed 2 years after they met and were together until death separated them.

Murder

Unfortunately, the life of this talented figure ended early. On the first day of March 1995, Listyev was shot dead in the entrance of his house, when the journalist was returning from the filming of the Rush Hour program. The killers were waiting for Vladislav between the flights of stairs. He died instantly. Later, the forensic examination will name the cause of death of the ORT director general as a through gunshot wound to the right forearm and a blind gunshot wound to the head.

The next day, the central channels of Russia announced the tragedy. On the screens, instead of the usual broadcast grid, a photo of a TV journalist was shown, signed with the phrase: “Vlad Listyev was killed.” The president made a statement about the death of the TV presenter. At the funeral, Albina Nazimova confirmed that her husband knew about the impending attack. Thousands of people accompanied the journalist on his last journey. The event received publicity in foreign media. Listyev's grave is located at the Vagankovsky cemetery in Moscow.

The murder of a TV journalist caused a huge public outcry for several reasons. Firstly, Listyev died at the peak of his popularity, and secondly, it was absolutely obvious that the crime was not committed for the purpose of robbery (Vlad's personal valuables remained intact).

The investigation into the Listyev case lasted until 2009, but the investigators were never able to find those responsible for the incident, although, according to them, the investigation progressed successfully. It was rumored that the criminals had patrons among influential people, so the case was doomed to failure.

Various versions of the causes of the tragedy were put forward, but they all boiled down to the political motives of the crime. So, some associated him with the names of the head of the presidential guard Alexander Korzhakov, as well as the oligarchs and Sergei Lisovsky, but the official investigation did not give any comments on this.

In 2010, the journalist's murder case was suspended, but after 3 years, information appeared that work would resume as soon as the investigation had new information.

In 2013, the topic of the death of Vlad Listyev was touched upon in the release of the popular TNT channel program “The Battle of Psychics”. The guests of the program were journalist Yevgeny Dodolev, author of the book “Vlad Listyev. Biased Requiem ”, and the daughter of TV presenter Valery. The investigation of the case was taken up by mediums and.
