Biography of Alla Abdalova: childhood and students
She was born in Moscow on June 19, 1941. Albina is the name our heroine received at birth. And Alla became when she began her creative activity.
The future singer was brought up in an intelligent and respected family. Parents tried to provide their daughter with a decent life. Albina pleased them with her successes both in a regular school and in music. Several times a week, the girl attended various circles - dancing, needlework, and so on.
After graduating from high school, she submitted documents to GITIS. A talented girl was enrolled in high school the first time. Her mentor was Maria Maksakova. Alla (Albina) was considered one of the most gifted students on the course.
First love and wedding
In 1964, at a concert dedicated to the Great October Revolution, Alla met a nice and interesting guy. It was Lev Leshchenko. It turned out that he was studying at the same university as Abdalova, but two years younger than her.
Leo long and persistently courted Alla. He waited for her after class, invited her to sit in a cafe or go to the park for a walk. Our heroine answered with consent. She really liked this guy. Soon the couple began to live under one roof. In his free time, Lev Valeryanovich worked part-time to provide for himself and Alla.
In 1966, lovers officially formalized the relationship. The wedding was student-friendly, but fun. The celebration was attended by 40 people. These are friends and classmates of the bride and groom.
Creative activity
Having received a diploma of graduation from GITIS, Alla Abdalova tried to get a job at the Bolshoi Theater. But she was refused. But at the Operetta Theater, the talented singer was received with open arms.
The next few years, Alla Alexandrovna worked in the orchestra with L. Utesov. She was also an artist of the Moskontsert. Abdalova performed some songs in a duet with her husband Lev Leshchenko. The composition “Old Maple” recorded by them was especially popular.
Divorce
At first, Leo and Alla had to share life with relatives. But there were no scandals. Everyone lived quietly and amicably. A few years later, the couple moved to their own apartment. It would seem that they should enjoy this. But Leshchenko and Abdalova are increasingly moving away from each other.
Wild jealousy appeared in their relationship. Yes, not simple, but creative. If Lev Leshchenko successfully developed a singing career, then Alla, on the contrary, felt like an unclaimed artist.
The first serious quarrel between the spouses took place in 1974. Lev Valerianovich returned from Japan, where he toured for 1.5 months. He was counting on a warm welcome from his wife. Instead, he received only reproaches and claims. That same evening, the singer packed up and left the apartment.
Alla Abdalova and L. Leshchenko continued to be considered a wife and husband. However, they lived in different apartments. On a tour in Sochi, a famous performer met an attractive student Irina Bagudina. It was she who later became his second wife.
In 1976, Leshchenko and Abdalova divorced. Since then, Alla's creative activity has declined. For a while, a woman sang in a church choir.
Present
Alla Abdalova no longer engaged in music. After a divorce from Leshchenko, she never married again. She has no children.
As of 2016, she is a pensioner. Our heroine rents her Moscow apartment, and she lives with relatives in the village. Any reminder of Lev Leshchenko causes irritation and anger in Alla. The woman still has not forgiven him.
