His clever humor appeals to many, and the peculiar timbre of his voice enchants from the very first words spoken. He has been happily married for more than 40 years and, embarrassed, admits that a bad memory became the guarantee of his family happiness. Every day he can be surprised at what a beautiful woman next to him, and admits that he met his own wife three times.
Triple acquaintance
Semyon Altov is not ashamed that he has a bad memory. Even at concerts, he sometimes reads his own works and it becomes funny to him, because he may not remember his jokes.
He met a girl named Larisa three times. The first time he came to the Palace of Culture, where after the institute he was leading the "Oral Journal", and saw in the foyer a very pretty girl reading a book. I decided to get to know each other, invited me on a date, to my "Oral Journal". Larisa came on a date, but he did not find her. However, on that day she herself did not plan to continue acquaintance, because Semyon did not make much of an impression on her that day.
The second time they met about a year later, in some kind of common company. The girl played the guitar amazingly, and outwardly she was very good. And he met her again, when, after some time, he saw in the trade union committee of his own technological institute a surprisingly beautiful girl sitting at the piano and playing Grieg with inspiration. When Semyon approached her to get to know her, she was simply outraged: how much can you? But I went on a date with him. At the same time, her boyfriend, in order not to forget about the date, marked the days of meetings with a cross in a special calendar, which the spouses still keep.
And Semyon Altov made the fateful decision to marry when he first visited Larisa's house. He saw on her bookshelf a lonely volume of Bunin. This was the fifth volume in a five-volume collection. The future satirist had the first four, he did not manage to get the fifth at that time. It seemed to both of them that this sign and property should be reunited. In fact, this was their first confession of feelings to each other.
The beginning of a long journey
The wedding was celebrated noisily and cheerfully. Most of all, Semyon Altov liked the toast that in this married couple the beauty of the mind of the groom and the amazing beauty of the bride were reunited. Semyon Teodorovich still admires the beauty of his wife. And she does not understand what she could find in him, an ordinary engineer at that time with a small salary. Larisa Vasilievna refuses to answer this question.
The satirist himself believes that without love they could not have lived together for so long. And at the same time, he does not forget to joke about his bad memory, even in such a serious matter as family relationships. He says that every morning he looks in surprise at the beautiful woman next to him and only then remembers that this is his wife.
A home where everyone is warm and comfortable
When a son appeared in the family, the couple turned out to be very unanimous that a small person is already a person. Therefore, they raised him with great respect, trying not to break or sculpt at their own discretion, but simply supporting the child's desire for what he liked.
When Semyon Teodorovich decided to develop his son's talent for writing, he offered to write only half of the printed page per day on their typewriter. As a result, the boy brought his father a text that looked more like an accounting report. Pavel did not become a writer, but at one time he was a producer of his father, tried himself in directing, and then successfully became involved in business.
Semyon Teodorovich and Larisa Vasilievna are very different people both in character and temperament. But they live together easily and joyfully, for 40 years without having time to get bored with each other. They both have no idea how it is possible to go on vacation separately if there is an opportunity to spend time together. They invariably try to celebrate the New Year and other family holidays at home, gathering those closest and dear to their hearts under one roof.
They rarely manage to quarrel seriously. Even when the hot and quick-tempered Larisa Vasilyevna makes a scene because of the shirt of the wrong color, worn by her husband, Semyon Teodorovich believes that you must first let her calm down. But sometimes he cannot stand the intensity of the quarrel and calmly says something, because of which the flaring up scandal immediately turns into a comedy performance.
Even the satirist's hobby is very unusual: he collects signs from hotels with inscriptions that are usually hung on the door of the room with the request "Do not disturb!" He naturally stole his first copy from a hotel in Turkey, and then friends and acquaintances began to bring them to him from all over the world.
Semyon Altov believes that not so much is needed for happiness: “To be happy with what is, and not to suffer because of what is not”.
Semyon Altov has been friends with for a long time, in whose life there were many trials.
