Leonid Arkadyevich Yakubovich PAR[2] (Russian: Леонид Аркадьевич Якубович, born 31 July 1945) is a Russian actor and television host, best known for hosting the game show Pole Chudes (the Russian version of the Wheel of Fortune – literally, The Field of Wonders – and the celebrity episode of Slaboye Zveno).

[5] In his youth, Yakubovich sought a practical profession, and studied metal craftsmanship.

In the 1980s he became a freelance satire writer and actor, and even played in the Russian children's "film-magazine" Yeralash.

Even so, Yakubovich was not considered experienced enough for regular work in television until in 1991 he accepted Vladislav Listyev's proposal to host Pole Chudes.

Listyev was previously a mentor to Yakubovich, and helped sharpen his acting skills, among others.
