He worked as a fitter, foreman, and design engineer at the Chelyabinsk Forging and Pressing Plant (1961–1963).

After moving to Gaisin, he worked as a process foreman and later as head of a workshop at the local District Industrial Combine (from 1963), served as an engineer at the Haisyn Motor Depot (1963–1964), and as a team leader in the stamping shop at the local District Consumer Union (1964–1970).

After relocating to Riga, he worked as a technologist, foreman, senior foreman, head of the OTS department, section chief, head of the standardization bureau, deputy shop head, head of the sales department, and shop foreman at the Riga Electrical Plant (REZ) (1971–1979).

In marriage with Ella Abramovna Ladyzhenskaya (née Lekhtsind) (b. 1940, Vinnytsia), they had a daughter, Rimma Lvovna Ladyzhenskaya (b. 1962, Haisyn), and a son, Gennady Lvovich Ladyzhensky (b. 1972, Riga).
