The couple had two daughters. There is a grandson who was named after his grandfather, which is incredibly touching.

Leonid is a deeply religious, Orthodox person. He opposes abortion. Once he made such a mistake, which he still regrets.

Leonid Dzyunik's eldest daughter Olga fell ill with diabetes at the age of twelve. She had a severe form of the disease, the girl suffered two clinical deaths. She became pregnant, and her father, fearing for her life, forbade her to give birth. After the abortion, she was no longer able to conceive. Olga died in 2014. The couple fought for her life as best they could, but lost.

Already later, Leonid learned from experienced obstetricians that the disease could behave differently, because during pregnancy the body experiences severe hormonal stress. Everything could have been better, or it would have been easier. He blames himself, but the time has passed.

Leonid believes that it is impossible to learn from the mistakes of others. Until you fill your bumps, do not stand on a rake, nothing will come of it.
