Led away from the family

Acquaintance with the actor happened by chance. Leonid noticed a pretty girl in the theater a long time ago and once he simply walked up the street and found a reason to speak. Many tried to look after Lydia, even Vladimir Vysotsky himself was listed among her fans. But Filatovโ€™s perseverance exceeded all. He did not give the girl a pass, invited him to dates, to cafes, took him out of town to nature and always repeated: "We will live a long and happy life and die in one day."

For some time, the girl resisted, did not want to give in to a discouraging feeling, repeatedly tried to break up with Leonid. But all the time, something attracted her to him, attracted by some unknown force. For the first time, she felt that she was in love. She told her husband almost immediately - she offered to live apart. He did not resist. She herself moved to her brother's room and continued to meet with Filatov.

Marriage with Filatov

They didnโ€™t start to play the wedding - they just signed in the registry office. For Leonid, this was the first marriage, for Lydia Savchenko (photo published in this material) - the second. For some time, the family huddled in a small room in the hostel with a friend, actor Boris Galkin. A few years later, the couple received their first one-room apartment.

Family life with Filatov was not cloudless. The actor often did not come home - he made excuses that he was late with friends, after which the "well-wishers" informed Lydia about his connections with young actresses and even with her married - Nina Shatskaya, who was married to Valery Zolotukhin. For a long time, Leonid led a double life, which Lydia Savchenko did not even suspect or turned a blind eye to obvious things.

Divorce and New Marriage

At some point, Lydia decided to part with Filatov. For a long time he did not want to agree to a break, but later he himself realized that further life in the circumstances was impossible.
