Natalya’s biography contained not only happy work and family moments - she admitted that she had to fight cancer.
Natalya Viktorovna Maltseva was born in Yaroslavl on August 5, 1969. As a child she loved to draw and studied at art school, however, in high school, I unexpectedly became interested in history and chose the corresponding faculty of Yaroslavl University. After studying for 3 years, Natalya realized that she had again made a mistake with her vocation, and went to the capital to enroll in the television department of the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University.
A television
While still studying, Natalya got her first job on television. In 1992, she met a journalist and worked on the creation of his programs “Rush Hour” and “Tema”. After that, she switched to the NTV channel. There Natalya worked on the programs “Hero of the Day” and “Hero of the Day Without a Tie” (then hosted by Irina Zaitseva) as an editor and correspondent, and also worked together with “Plant Life”.
In 2001, NTV producers planned to film a pilot episode of the show “Housing Issue”. Producer Maria Shakhova (wife) invited Maltseva to cooperate in the role of chief editor. After 2 months, the design project went on air, and Natalya took the position of presenter.

Maltseva left the program only in 2014, having worked in the program for 13 years. She later returned there to film episodes twice - in December 2014 and January 2015.
3 years after “The Housing Question” Natalya tried herself as a producer. Her debut work was the film “Russian” with and. The film, based on the work, tells the story of the fate of a nervous and unbalanced young man who, due to shock after his first love, ended up in a mental hospital.
The reaction of the press and critics ultimately turned out to be mixed: some liked the romance and impetuosity of the hero, while others criticized the carelessly constructed plot and the lack of truly bright episodes.
In 2005, Maltseva hosted the program “Children for Rent” on NTV, in which young childless couples tried themselves as parents. The heroes had to organize a rich program of entertainment for the adopted children in 3-4 days and master a new skill with them - tying shoelaces, playing new game or wean off the pacifier.

The famous TV presenter spoke for the first time about why she left television for four years.
For many years in a row, Natalya Maltseva hosted the program “” on NTV, which she herself invented. Maltseva also produced the “Dachny Response” project. But in 2014, Natalya disappeared from television radar. Another presenter appeared in “Housing Question”, and fans could only speculate - where is Natalya? This fall, the TV presenter finally returned to television screens with her own morning show “Maltseva”. In the project, which is broadcast on NTV, she talks not only about renovation and design, but also about much more.
“I was moving at the speed of an asteroid”
- Your new program runs on a daily basis - for you this is new format…
- Yes, everything is different here. Behind long years conducting and producing “The Housing Question” and “Dachnaya Otvet”, we accumulated a lot of topics and materials that did not coincide with the format of these programs. As a result, “Maltseva” was born. We have been recording programs since August and have already filmed a large pool. And we continue to work.
— Do you miss filming?
— You know, I didn’t leave television. Yes, I left the frame, but we still made both “Dacha Answer” and “Housing Question”. So no, I'm not bored. But when the question arose, who should lead new program, I lived through mine again old story. I became the host of “Housing Question” not because I really wanted it. I just came up with this program, at some point we started looking for presenters, tried different ones, but everything was not the same. And I realized that I would probably do it better myself than those we watch.
— Why did you suddenly decide to leave your own program in 2014? Tired?
- There are several circumstances here. First of all, yes, I'm tired. And to some extent, I missed the moment when it was necessary to come up with something new. And secondly, I became seriously ill. She lived in Israel for two years, was treated there, and recovered. And I tried to understand in general: who am I, where am I? What do I really want? It was quite a difficult, but at the same time very fruitful period for me.

— Don’t you want to stay in Israel?
— When you are sick, different thoughts appear. This is a crisis situation. You are out of balance. Over the years I have had absolutely different periods. Sometimes they are quite difficult for both me and my husband. I don’t want to remember that time again. But I am very grateful to my illness, because it taught me a lot.
And therefore, it doesn’t even matter what thoughts and ideas we had during the process. None of this matters now. The main thing is that we are here. I returned to my favorite job. And, in general, full of hope.
— Recently, a site about how I fought cancer. And she also admitted that that story changed her a lot. She said: “If earlier it seemed to me that I would live forever, then the disease forced me to reconsider my whole life...”
- Yes, I completely agree here. I also had cancer. And, of course, this changes absolutely everything. You find yourself in a completely different dimension, as if you are behind glass. It’s as if you’re in life, but you’re no longer in it. This makes you look differently at everything that happens, at your loved ones, at your friends. Everything becomes very convex. And the events themselves that begin to happen reveal many things that you simply did not notice before. You were moving at the speed of an asteroid. I threw aside some small signs, problems, sensations. And then you start to pay attention to all this.
...and now she has her own morning show"Maltseva". It airs on weekdays on NTV. photo: instagram.com/maltceva.tv -Who came to your aid at that moment?
- Husband. He not only came to the rescue, but somehow pulled me out. I am very grateful to him... I don’t have enough words to describe it all. You just can’t really express it in words.
- It was a sad conversation...
- In fact, all this is very positive. Such tests are not given just like that. They are given so that you realize something. And if you understand this, completely different doors open before you. Other sensations appear, and other circumstances come into life. So when I say I'm grateful, I mean it. Because now I am absolutely happy. I have new project, I have friends around me, my great team. I meet new people who turn out to be completely unreal and amazing. Do you understand? In general, I live in some other reality compared to the one I had. And this is a very, very good, very happy reality.
“You can come to an agreement with everyone”
— You have extensive experience in running a design program. Do you often redo things in your home?
- No, I wouldn’t say so. I'm doing now new apartment, and all ideas and desires are realized in it. I have an alliance with my friend, designer Victoria Kruchinina. She is responsible for the design, and I convey some of my feelings.
- It turns out we're moving soon?
“We’ve been doing this renovation for a year and a half now, so I’m not even planning on moving yet, because I don’t know when it will end.
- Why so long?
- Yes, because we are in no hurry. At the same time, new projects arise all the time; something happens to both me and my husband. Now the transfer takes up all the time.
— Do your husband and son support you in connection with your new project?
- Yes, they are very supportive. My husband helps a lot. He played an important role in our production center.
— It seems he has a furniture business?
- Yes, that is right. But precisely because he has a business, he helps us in our work.
— Your son Mikhail wanted to become a chef. Is this still relevant or does the teenager already have new hobbies?
— He is now 15 years old, and, in principle, he has been broadcasting for quite a long time that he wants to be a chef, a restaurateur. But now he is going through a rather controversial period. We don’t know what will happen. Let's not guess yet.
- How, by the way, adolescence worried? Difficult?
- Yes, good! The main thing here is to talk, communicate, and not lose contact. It seems to me that everything can be agreed upon. And with the child too!
"Maltseva"
Weekdays/10.20, NTV
The host of “Housing Question” Natalya Maltseva told the site about interesting stories behind the scenes of a TV project.
We learned from the host of “Housing Question” Natalya Maltseva how to become the hero of the show, how much money the creators of the TV show spend on renovations and which of the stars was dissatisfied with the TV design.
“The prima donna fed us and gave us something to drink”
To become the hero of the “Housing Issue”, you need to go through a casting.
. – We have certain criteria. We are looking for heroes that the viewer would like to look at and empathize with: bright and kind faces. When people have already passed the casting, we sign an agreement with them that we cannot redo the interior if they don’t like our idea. We have a strict budget that we must stick to. On average, repairs cost 1 million rubles. During the season, “Housing Question” remodels a small apartment building - about 80–90 interiors. The rework takes 1–2 months, which we warn our heroes about. Also, they should not come home until we implement the project. Otherwise, they will simply ruin the surprise for themselves. Therefore, participants either live with relatives at this time or rent housing.
"Housing Question" makes repairs not only ordinary people, but also among the stars.
“For example, Alla Pugacheva herself contacted us, and we, of course, responded with joy,” continues the TV star. “And they made her an incredible office at Radio Alla.” She was very easy to work with. She knew what we needed, how to behave on camera and what to say. After all, we spend a lot of effort on making people feel relaxed in front of the cameras. Alla Borisovna has incredible magnetism, charisma and attractiveness. She is a very hospitable person, she fed us and gave us something to drink. And despite the fact that she is a star, she communicated with us like a human being. Moreover, it even helped me. I had an unpleasant situation at work. And I addressed her as to a wise man and asked what to do. Pugacheva gave seemingly very banal advice: “I wouldn’t do anything.” You know, after that I somehow calmed down and let the situation go. Indeed, everything worked out for me.
“Muravyova is scared to be in the kitchen”
There are also cases when program participants do not like the repairs.
– We are largely experimenting with the space of heroes. We want to, as they say, cheer them up,” Natalya shares with us. – Sometimes people are not ready for radical changes. Actress Irina Muravyova did not like the interior. Since she is very temperamental and emotional person, then expressed everything on the air. And I think this is correct. You know, we ask our participants to tell the truth and not hide what bothers them.

Muravyova was really upset by the new interior to tears.
“It’s scary to be here,” the actress was indignant. “Is it possible for people in their old age to change their situation like that?” Maybe one day I’ll come home and start crying, longing for my old kitchen.
According to Maltseva, in the history of the “Housing Question” there were such radical changes when a person’s life changed 180 degrees after participating in a TV show:
“For some, we have become the starting point for change. The life of one of our heroines changed dramatically after we made her bedroom. She is a single woman, worked as a teacher, loved to travel and could not fulfill her dream. A designer from London made her a fashionable and feminine bedroom. Our heroine was so shocked by the room that she changed her teaching job and opened tourist agency. A year and a half later we saw a completely different person. Often, most people get used to stereotypes. We are making a kind of revolution in our homes. Our task is to change thinking.
Natalya Maltseva / editorial archive
Natalya lives in happy marriage with her husband Boris (furniture businessman - Ed.) for about 15 years. 13-year-old son Mikhail wants to become a chef and restaurateur. He loves to eat delicious food and is a great cook.
– We love to travel with the whole family. In winter we go skiing, and in summer we spend in our house in Finland. My husband and son fish, and I tend to the area. I believe that the main thing in life is not to be afraid of changes, because they are the key to happiness.
