Childhood and youth of the Soviet princess
On April 18, 1929, a daughter, Galina, was born into the family of the deputy head of the Sverdlovsk regional executive committee, Leonid Brezhnev. This was the first-born in the young family of Leonid and Victoria Brezhnev. From an early age, Galina Leonidovna Brezhneva was a typical spoiled child in the Tsar’s family. Even her younger brother Yuri, born four years later, was a minor figure in the Brezhnev family. The girl's wayward character was reflected in everything.
The daughter of the future Soviet party boss was not at all interested in studying at school. Although the father tried to curb his daughter and instill in her a love of study and work, he had little success. Brezhnev's daughter, Galina Leonidovna, was interested in completely different things. She liked the foreign outfits with which her father spoiled her when returning from foreign business trips, expensive jewelry, and handsome young people.
Unfulfilled dreams
After graduating from high school with good grades, Galina Leonidovna Brezhneva decides to enter the acting department of the Moscow Theater School named after M. S. Shchepkin. In secret from her father, who did not approve of his daughter’s idea of becoming an actress, Galina submits documents and... waits for the entrance exams. Having learned about his daughter’s willful decision, L.I. Brezhnev ruins all her plans.
She was not destined to become a great actress in the theater, but this did not stop the young and beautiful girl from becoming an actress in life. Galina Brezhneva's biography is corrected by her father, and she enters the Orekhovo-Zuevsky Pedagogical Institute at the Faculty of Philology. Later, after her father was transferred to the Central Committee of Moldova, the young girl was transferred to the philological department of Chisinau State University.
It should be noted that Galina Brezhneva in her youth had little interest in her father’s opinion and made decisions on her own. In 1951, plunging headlong into love affairs, the girl left the university and, together with Yevgeny Milaev, who later became her legal husband, left the capital of the union republic.

Galina Brezhneva's first husband is the famous strongman and circus acrobat Evgeny Milaev. Young Galina could not take her eyes off the strong, temperamental man, 20 years older than her, and holding up to a dozen strong men on his shoulders. This level of testosterone would conquer any girl. Galina Brezhneva attended all his performances until she met him personally. The strongman's first wife died during childbirth and left her father with two children as a souvenir - twins, who had already gone on tour with their father. A photo of Galina Brezhneva’s first husband is presented below.
The romance grew into a serious relationship, in the end of which they got married. Galina Brezhneva did not part with her husband and accompanied him on all tours, helping with costumes and provisions. In 1952, the young family was replenished - Galina gave birth to her husband’s daughter, who was named Victoria. Now there are five family members, including two children from Brezhneva’s husband’s first marriage. But this did not save the family's love boat from collapse. Evgeny Milaev was often fond of young acrobats and trainers, besides, Brezhneva’s husband was already the Director of a large circus, and a hero of Socialist Labor - we probably won’t say under whose implicit patronage. Galina Brezhneva left her husband, despite having a daughter together. It was a difficult but necessary break.
As soon as Galina Brezhneva moved away from the divorce, hormones again pulled her feelings towards the circus. This time the object of desire was the 18-year-old illusionist, starting “Copperfield” of the Soviet Union, Igor Kio. The couple secretly got married in secret from the high-ranking father of the bride and went to sunny Sochi to enjoy their honeymoon.
However, Leonid Ilyich did not like this trick, and he offered his own to the newlyweds - he sent the relevant employees to the young couple, who took Galina along with Kio’s passport. Igor’s passport was returned without a stamp - the young “Houdini” had never dreamed of such tricks, and he realized that he was still far from matching the skill of his beloved beloved’s father. Afterwards, he and Galina were just lovers for some time, meeting secretly, but this fire of love died out when Brezhnev was awarded the title of Secretary of the Communist Party.
And finally, to the great joy of “Twice Ilyich of the USSR,” Galina swore off getting involved with circus performers and began working with the military. The third and last husband of Galina Brezhneva, Yuri Churbanov, was a married major. But this did not prevent the wedding with Galina Leonidovna, because a real major’s family is not a hindrance. Especially if there is a prospect of marrying the daughter of the Secretary General, and it doesn’t matter that she is seven years older.
The enterprising Yuri was not mistaken - he later rose to the rank of Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR. Then the entire press wrote about who Galina Brezhneva and her husband were. But even an old woman can misfire - after 20 years of a happy marriage, Yuri was faced with an arrest and an unexpected divorce, initiated by his now indignant wife.
The biography of the heir to the Secretary General, Galina Brezhneva, was not limited to official husbands. There were fleeting hobbies and romances with such personalities as the singer of tearful gypsy romances Boris Buryatsa, and the graceful ballet dancer Maris Liepa.
In general, it’s not worth listing in order - and it’s clear that many calculating men wanted to use Galina Brezhneva’s position for their own purposes. But let's hope that she also learned sincere love.

In the arena of the Moscow Circus
Brezhnev's daughter Galina was a beautiful girl. Slender legs, large breasts, dark eyes, full lips, temperament and passion - all this drove men crazy. It is difficult to ignore such beauty, especially since her father’s rapid party career led young people to think about a happy and comfortable future in marriage.
Summer 1951. The Moscow Circus comes to the capital of Moldova on tour. Among the circus troupe, one strength artist, Evgeniy Milaev, stands out. Galina does not miss a single performance, admiring the stately figure of a strong man, a father of two children, who is 20 years older than her. Often being backstage, Galina got to know E. Milaev better, and love was born. At one of the social parties, the daughter's chosen one was seen by the Brezhnevs. The family did not approve of Galina's choice and in every possible way interfered with their relationship.
The Muscovites' tour in the capital of Moldova was coming to an end, and it was time to part. Circus performers were expected in other cities of the Soviet Union, and Galina Brezhneva was leaving with the troupe. The life of the Soviet princess changes radically; from a student at a Moldovan university, she turns into a costume designer at the Moscow circus. On tour, she not only had to take care of the artists’ clothes. According to the testimony of circus performers, Brezhnev’s daughter did not shy away from dirty work, for which she had well-deserved respect in the team. For ten years, Galina Brezhneva’s biography was associated with the circus.
It all ended suddenly. After ten years of marriage, Evgeniy cheated on his wife with a young colleague. The marriage broke up. The only memory of a happy time is the daughter Victoria, born in 1952. Galina Brezhneva's adopted children, Alexander and Natalya Milaev, kept in touch with their stepmother for many years.

Galina Brezhneva did not throw herself at all men
Galina was not at a loss either at the Novosti press agency, where Brezhnev “exiled” her daughter as a cure for a wild life. Relatives, in particular the daughter of the “Soviet Paris Hilton” Victoria, recalls her mother’s two affairs - with journalists Boris Shirokov and Alexander Avdeev: “Both of them, as usual, are married. Both had fun with their mother, but as soon as she started talking about marriage, they immediately remembered their marital duty.”
If it weren't for dad
Life does not stand still, and a new passion awaits Galina. In 1962, Brezhnev's daughter plunged headlong into love. Her chosen one is an eighteen-year-old guy, future People's Artist of Russia, illusionist Igor Emilievich Kio. After a divorce from Milaev, young people formalize their relationship.
Leaving her daughter in the care of her parents, Galina and her young husband go on tour to Sochi. Having learned about his daughter’s new marriage, an angry Leonid Ilyich sends security officers after the newlyweds. At that time, Galina’s father was the chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. The subordinates coped with the task perfectly, the couple in love was returned to Moscow, and the marriage, which lasted only ten days, was annulled.
After the divorce, the couple secretly dated for another three years, spending time together in Moscow hotels or at friends’ apartments. Many years later, when asked what the biography of Galina Brezhneva would have been like if she had not been the daughter of the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, Igor Kio said: “I think that she would have become a good mother and wife.”
Personal life of Galina Brezhneva
Throughout her 69 years, Galina Brezhneva was married three times. None of the marriages turned out to be happy. All of them brought only grief and despair.
Galina first fell in love at the age of 22, in 1951. Having visited a circus performance, her spiritual attraction led her to Evgeny Milaev, a circus tightrope walker. A large age difference and the presence of 3 children could not stop the emotional impulse. It all got to the point that the woman left with the traveling circus, returning completely different - married and with a child in her arms, whose grandparents began to raise her. Galina at this time was so passionate about her life that she simply did not find time for her child. She began to devote herself entirely to her profession as a costume designer in a traveling circus. It would seem like a happy and eternal love, but it failed 10 years later, after Milaev cheated on his wife.
After suffering and tormenting for a short time, Galina got married again in 1962. Apparently the passion for circus performers has not disappeared anywhere, since Igor Kio, a circus performer, became her husband. Once again, the partners had a large age difference. Galina at that time was 33 years old, and Igor was only 18 years old. The father could not silently look at his daughter’s choice and forced the marriage to be annulled, which lasted nine days. Fortunately or unfortunately, their romance lasted another 3 years, which ended instantly when Brezhnev received the post of General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee.
The next victim of love torment was Yuri Churbanov, a major in the internal service. This affair was so important to him that he divorced his wife. Marriage to the daughter of the head of the Secretary General made him a successful and fast career, but this did not help his marriage. Such a person of art as Galina could not love a cold and calculating servant for long. The love for creativity was much stronger. She completely took over a woman's life from a very early age.
Other people appeared in life whom Brezhneva was able to love with all her soul and with all her heart - ballet dancer Maris Liepa, and artist of the Romen Theater - Boris Buryatsa.
The affair with the first was one of the most romantic and happiest in Brezhneva’s life. She received all the romance that she had so lacked before. The relationship lasted five years, and the reason for their death was that Liepa refused to break off the marriage with his wife.
Buryatsa also became one of Galina’s main lovers. This love was so strong that it could have ended in a successful production. But Boris was caught and arrested for stealing diamonds. Many say, or rather are even sure, that in this way Churbanov took revenge on his ex-wife for the fact that she could not love him. Even if this was true, he paid for it in the future when he was accused of corruption.
All of Galina's lovers eventually, to one degree or another, received their reward - they built a successful career, giving a few moments of happiness to the woman. But in the end they repaid her by making her unhappy and completely alone, giving her in return a life that she did not deserve.
Life of the Moscow elite
To love and be loved - that’s what Galina Brezhneva wanted. The life of the Soviet princess after two unsuccessful marriages gradually lost its meaning. Daughter Victoria, whose upbringing she was not at all involved in, lived with her grandmother, Victoria Petrovna Brezhneva, at a government dacha near Moscow.
Short love affairs and an unloved job at the Novosti press agency depressed Galina. An outlet was needed. Restaurants, night trips around the capital, drunken feasts until the morning - all this was actively discussed in society. Galina did not pay attention to her father’s requests to behave more modestly. She was looking for love.
Third, but not my favorite
The third and last husband of Galina Brezhneva was Yuri Churbanov. They met at one of the dinner parties. At the time we met, Yuri was a major, and also married. However, when the prospect of a comfortable life and career growth appeared on the horizon, the man divorced his wife and proposed to Galina.
Galina Brezhneva with her father
Galina, tired of loneliness, agreed to become the major’s wife, especially since her father liked him. This marriage did not bring happiness. Galina's husband cared about his career and position in society. He did not delve into his wife’s life in any way. Essentially they were strangers.
In his marriage to Galina, Yuri got what he wanted. He rose to the rank of general and served as Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of course, this could not have happened without the intervention of an influential relative.
After the death of Leonid Brezhnev, a dark streak in life came for all his relatives. Yuri Churbanov was arrested, and Galina filed for divorce.
She met her old age in a psychiatric hospital near Moscow. Everyone abandoned her. She died alone. But I want to believe that in her life she learned what it means to love and be loved.
Dad, I love the military
Everything changed in early 1971. At one of the parties in the House of Architects, Galina meets a 34-year-old handsome man, Major Yuri Churbanov. At that time, Galina Leonidovna was 41 years old. The stormy romance with the officer did not go unnoticed by her father.
Leonid Brezhnev, tired of his daughter’s love affairs, which were discussed not only by ordinary townspeople, but also by members of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, recommends that his daughter formalize their relationship.
The career of Yuri Mikhailovich Churbanov rapidly went up. In a short time, the husband of Galina Brezhneva, thanks to the patronage and approval of the party and government, became a deputy minister, and then the Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR. Their married life lasted 20 years.
Everything changed after the death of L. I. Brezhnev. After the arrest of Churbanov, accused of corruption, and the trial, Galina Leonidovna files for divorce and division of property.
Galina's favorites
Maris Liepa, a ballet dancer, enjoyed her patronage for five years. All this time, her lover promised Galina to leave his family for her. She believed, but patience ran out and they parted.
Boris Buryatse appeared in the life of Galina Brezhneva when she was married to Churbanov. The charming artist of the gypsy theater "Romen" charmed the 50-year-old woman with his refined manners. Fresh flowers on the table every day drove her crazy. Brezhneva's lover, who became a soloist of the Bolshoi Theater, was accused of stealing jewelry from a circus performer.

The artist of the Romany Gypsy Theater became an outlet for Galina, tired of her third marriage. The woman did not hide her forbidden connection with Boris, helping his career and riding around the resorts with the black-eyed handsome man. With him, Brezhnev got into a scandalous story: Buryatse was involved in the case of the missing diamonds of the artist Irina Bugrimova, and during the interrogations the name of Galina Leonidovna surfaced. However, the latter was not persecuted, and Boris could not be accused. But he still ended up behind bars for speculation. After divorcing the daughter of the first person in the USSR, Churbanov also ended up in prison as an economic criminal.
The last years of the princess
She was accused of stealing jewelry, they tried to confiscate the dacha and the car given by her father, she sued the state, all this affected her future behavior. Having fallen into disgrace with the Soviet leadership after the death of her father, Galina Brezhneva found herself virtually isolated from the outside world.
No work, no money... Gradually, her father's daughter sells all movable and immovable property and settles in a two-room apartment on the outskirts of Moscow. Now her inner circle are local lovers of strong alcoholic drinks.
The daughter of the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party of the Soviet Union spent her last days in psychiatric hospital No. 2, in the village of Dobrynikha, Moscow region. On June 29, 1998, Galina Leonidovna passed away. The Soviet princess was buried at the Novodevichy cemetery next to her mother.
