The tragedies of famous Soviet female announcers, left behind the scenes. Voice from the past: outstanding announcers and TV presenters of the Soviet era Women announcers of Soviet television list

Many of us are very familiar with all these people whom we could very often see on TV screens in the past, and some of whom we still see. Next, we suggest recalling popular TV presenters from the 90s, and also find out how their further fate.

Arina Sharapova started as the host of the Vesti program on Channel 2, and from 1996 to 1998 she became the host of the Vremya (ORT) information program.

Sharapova then moved to the “ Good morning”, and then began to rarely appear on air at all.

In 2014, Arina became president of the School of Arts and Media Technologies, and in the same year she appeared as the host of the Crimea Island project.

Boris Kryuk. From January 13, 1991 to 1999, Boris was the permanent presenter and director of the TV game “Love at First Sight.”

Boris did not disappear from television, he simply became invisible - since May 2001 he became a presenter, director, scriptwriter and general producer TV games "What? Where? When?"

The audience hears only his voice. In the first time after the death of the creator and permanent host of the program, Vladimir Voroshilov, the editors hid the name of the new presenter from both viewers and experts: his voice was distorted using a computer.

Alla Volkova was the host of the romantic television show “Love at First Sight” along with Boris Kryuk.

After the closure of this show, Alla married for the third time, works as an editor of all programs produced by the production center "Igra-TV" - "What? Where? When?", "Songs of the 20th Century" and "Cultural Revolution".

Alexander Lyubimov. He came to television as a correspondent and then host of the “Vzglyad” program. From 1995-1998 he became the author and host of the “One on One” program.

Since 2007, he has been an employee of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, and hosted the “Senate” program on the “Russia” channel. Later he was appointed first deputy general director TV channel "Russia".

In August 2011 he left VGTRK, becoming a member political party"Just cause." In November of the same year he left the party and headed RBC TV channel, at the end of 2014 he left the post, but remained on the board of directors.

Svetlana Sorokina. From 1991 to 1997, she was a political commentator and host of the daily news program Vesti. Sorokina’s signature “farewell” songs, with which she closed each issue of Vesti, became especially famous.

From May 2001 to January 2002, she worked on the TV-6 channel in the information program “Today on TV-6” and the talk show “Voice of the People.”

Now Svetlana is a member of the Academy of Russian Television, a former member of the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation (2009-2011), a teacher at the Higher School of Economics, the host of the “In the Circle of Light” program on the radio station “Echo of Moscow” and the “Sorokina” program on the Dozhd TV channel "

In the 80s and early 90s, Tatyana Vedeneeva was perhaps the most popular TV presenter. She ran "Alarm Clock" Good night, kids!" and "Visiting a Fairy Tale" (Aunt Tanya), the program "Morning", "Song of the Year" and many others television shows.

Vedeneeva left television quite suddenly. While vacationing in London, the presenter was delighted with him and decided to extend the trip for a week. I called my work and asked for a few days off.

In Ostankino, no one shared the presenter’s joy about England; Tatyana was categorically offered to return on time or... write a letter of resignation. Vedeneeva did not take the threat seriously. And they took her statement quite seriously.

Now Tatyana is engaged in business. One day, her husband brought her tkemali sauce from Tbilisi. The ex-presenter was inspired by the idea of ​​launching the production of tkemali in Russia. It took several years to study recipes and organize production. Now Tatyana is the owner of the Trest B corporation, and in every metropolitan supermarket you can buy sauces from Vedeneeva.

The peak of Igor Ugolnikov's popularity occurred in the early nineties. First, the program “Both-on!” was aired, followed by the equally funny “Angle Show!” In 1996, Igor released the series of programs “Doctor Angle”.

Afterwards the programs “Good Evening” and “It’s Not Serious!” appeared. But they did not gain popularity.

The official version of Russian television regarding the closure of " Good evening" - "The transfer sucks up a lot of money,” Igor said in an interview. “And this is fair: it was daily, a large number of people worked in it.”

For some time, Igor tried himself in a different role: he held the position of vice-president of the Russian Cultural Foundation, and was the director of the House of Cinema. But television didn’t let me go.

Now he produces the television magazine "Wick". He does not forget the acting profession. He starred in several TV series and films.

Ksenia Strizh hosted the programs “At Ksyusha’s”, “Strizh and others”, “Night Rendezvous”... She never had such wild popularity and recognition as during her work in the program “At Ksyusha’s”. In the early 90s, there was little music on TV, and Swift invited the most interesting artists to her show.

In 1997, Swift returned from television to radio: there she felt at ease. Was a presenter on television channel"La Minor". After a scandal related to the fact that she appeared on air drunk and laughed at the teeth of her guest Alexander Solodukha, information appeared about her dismissal, but now Ksenia is working on the channel again.

Latest program Shenderovich, which was seen by the mass Russian audience, was called “Free Cheese” and aired on TVS. When TVS closed, Shenderovich gave up on big television.

He began writing for Novaya Gazeta and the Gazeta newspaper, and acquired his own programs on Ekho Moskvy and Radio Liberty. True, Shenderovich did not manage to quit TV completely.

On the "Russian Channel Abroad" on Sundays in the final analytical program "Russian Panorama" he hosts his own column - "A Cup of Coffee with Shenderovich", in which he tells former compatriots who have gone to live in Israel and Germany how things are here in Russia.

Ivan Demidov was the permanent presenter of the music program "MuzOboz". But the mysterious image with the constant dark glasses is a thing of the past.

Demidov chose the post of Deputy Minister of Culture over a television career, and now he heads the Foundation for the Development of Contemporary Art.

The duet of Olga Shelest and Anton Komolov is an amazing example of professional compatibility and long-term friendship.

After the closure of MTV, the tandem was temporarily revived on the Zvezda channel in the show Starry Evening with Anton Komolov and Olga Shelest, but did not repeat its former success.

Currently Olga is a permanent presenter entertainment show"Girls" and music competition“Artist” on the Russia-1 channel, host of the TV game “Understand Me” on the “Carousel” channel, as well as co-host of the “Temporarily Available” program with Dmitry Dibrov on the TVC channel.

Anton has worked on various TV channels, and since September 5, 2011, together with Elena Abitaeva, he has been hosting the “RUSH-RadioActive Show” on the radio station Europe Plus

Elena Hanga is remembered for her bold and frank program “About This,” which aired on the NTV channel from 1997 to 2000. And if today the topic of sex is a common thing, then for the late 90s it was a real breakthrough.

Later, Hanga hosted the daytime and, of course, much less loud talk show "The Domino Principle", in different time her co-hosts were Elena Starostina, Elena Ishcheeva and Dana Borisova.

Since the fall of 2009, he has been working in unnoticeable projects: he hosts the weekly talk show “Cross Talk” on the Russian English-language channel Russia Today, and broadcasts on the radio station “ TVNZ".

Valery Komissarov. The most pressing topics were discussed on the program “My Family” family life: assorted heroes willingly “washed dirty linen in public”, discussing their problems in live state channel "Russia".

Housewives watched the program with bated breath (not least because of the impressive host Valery Komissarov) from 1996 to 2003, until it was canceled.

From November 16 to December 30, 2015 - director and host of the “Our Man” program on Russia 1 channel, as well as the creator and owner of the “My Family” food brand.

In addition to Arina Sharapova, there were several other memorable news anchors on ORT/Channel One. One of them is Alexandra Burataeva. In 1995, she moved to work on the ORT television channel and from the same year began hosting the “Time” and “News” programs until 1999.

On December 19, 1999, she was elected to the State Duma in the single-mandate Kalmyk electoral district and was re-elected in 2003 on the United Russia list.

From March to August 2013, Alexandra worked as PR director of the Sergei Bezrukov Theater, and from September 2013 - president of the production company So-Druzhestvo.

Igor Vykhukholev is also a former presenter information programs"News" and "Time" on Channel One. In 2000-2004, he sometimes replaced his colleagues in the Vremya information program.

Went for a promotion. Since 2005 - chief editor of night and morning news broadcasts of the Directorate of Information Programs of Channel One. In 2006 he moved to VGTRK. Since 2006, he has recorded interviews with politicians for the news channel "Vesti 24".

Igor Gmyza. In 1995, after the creation of the ORT television channel, he received an invitation to become the host of the “Time” program. He hosted the program in 1996-1998, alternating with Arina Sharapova.

He worked as the presenter of Novosti until the spring of 2004: at first he hosted daytime and evening broadcasts, and towards the end of his work he switched to morning broadcasts, after which he left Channel One.

After a short experience as a political press secretary, he went to radio. Since January 2006 - political commentator for Radio Russia, host of the daily interactive talk show "Minority Opinion"

Sergey Dorenko. In the early 90s he was a political observer at VGTRK and host of the Vesti program. Then the host of the “Time” program on the first channel “Ostankino”, and from January 1994 - the host of the “Podrobnosti” program on the RTR channel.

Then he was the chief producer of the Directorate of Information Programs and Analytical Broadcasting of ORT and the host of the daily program "Time".

Despite the fact that he gained his fame thanks to television, Dorenko has repeatedly stated that he does not watch television. Currently he hosts his own program on YouTube, and since 2014 he has been the editor-in-chief of the radio station “Moscow Speaks”.

Valentina Mikhailovna came to work for television in 1954 as an assistant director; she became an announcer later. And by the end of the 60s, not a single episode of the festive “Ogonyok” could do without her, and “Good Night, Kids” and “Alarm Clock” were watched with pleasure not only by children, but also by adults. The most important and most personal program in her life was the program “With all my heart,” which is called the prototype of modern talk shows. On this program, old friends and relatives separated by the war met, and the whole country cried with the heroes of the program. Aunt Valya never got married, although Bulat Okudzhava himself asked for her hand. Her only love What's left is television.

Today we decided to remember which other Soviet TV presenters gathered the whole family in front of the screens.

Yuri Nikolaev began his career as an artist in Moscow, as an actor at the Pushkin Theater. But acting did not bring him much fame or popularity. People began to recognize Yuri Alexandrovich by sight only when he became the host of one of the most popular programs on Soviet television, “Morning Mail.” And then things went on: they began to invite him to host “Blue Light”, “Song of the Year”. And later, during perestroika, Yuri Nikolaev created his own production company “UNICS”, which produced the weekly program “ morning Star" Many famous artists today started with this television competition: Yulia Nachalova, Alexey Chumakov, Valeria and many others.

Yulia Vasilyevna hosted one of the first programs on medical topics on domestic TV - the popular science program “Health”. Moreover, by profession she is not an artist or a TV presenter, but a doctor. That is why her program was still scientific, and the program gained popularity thanks to the personal charm of Yulia Belyanchikova. She remained the permanent host of the program for more than twenty years. During this time, the flow of letters for transmission increased from 60 thousand per year to 160 thousand. Moreover, the audience’s questions were answered not only on air, but also by correspondence. For this purpose, the program employed four qualified doctors.

Alexander Vasilyevich is the founder of humor on domestic television. We say “Maslyakov”, we mean “Club of the cheerful and resourceful” and vice versa. Alexander Maslyakov has been working on television since 1964 and even now, despite his advanced age - he is 71 years old - he remains the permanent presenter, director and director of KVN. And “The Club” itself, in turn, remains one of the most popular programs on TV. In addition, Alexander Vasilyevich hosted “Hello, we are looking for talents”, “Jolly guys”, “12th floor”, reports from World festivals youth and students, was a leader for several years international festivals songs in Sochi. And now Alexander Vasilyevich also presides over the jury at the “Minute of Fame”.

Alexander Evgenievich, in general, did not aspire to television. He studied at the Faculty of Law of the Russian State University, completed postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University, and became a candidate philosophical sciences. After graduating from graduate school I got into big politics and was even a speechwriter for Secretary General Leonid Brezhnev. On TV, Alexander Bovin was also far from entertaining programs - he was a serious publicist. Bovin gained national fame during his time as the host of the TV magazine “International Panorama”, which had very high ratings among viewers. The program, which attracted an audience of millions, was even called a “window to the world” - it included reports about Western culture and art, here you could see footage of luxury cars, unprecedented architecture and interiors. And Alexander Bovin himself looked unconventional - shaggy, mustachioed, without a tie, and broadcast as if he were talking to the audience like a neighbor, sitting in the kitchen.

Igor Leonidovich Kirillov is rightfully considered a legend of Russian television. He can be called a real news star. In 2001, he even received the honorary title “Man of the Epoch.” In addition, his award list includes three orders: the Red Banner of Labor, “For Services to the Fatherland” of the 3rd and 4th degree. Igor Kirillov has a theater education; before coming to television, he played at the Taganka Theater. In July 1957, he began working at the Shabolovsky Television Center as an assistant director. music edition CT. And two and a half months later he won the announcer competition and went on air for the first time. Igor Kirillov was the announcer of the Vremya program for more than 30 years, becoming the face of the news program, and his signature timbre was recognized from the first words and is still recognized today. He was even trusted to give New Year's addresses to the residents of the country instead of the leadership of the USSR. By the way, Igor Kirillov still broadcasts the annual parades in honor of Victory Day on Red Square.

Actually, Alexander Ivanov is not a professional TV presenter at all. He is a teacher, graduated from the Faculty of Drawing and Drawing at the Moscow Correspondence Institute and worked as a teacher of drawing and descriptive geometry. He gained fame, of course, not as a teacher, but also not as a TV presenter. Popularity came to him even before TV, when he became interested in writing poetic parodies. His first book, Love and Mustard, was published in 1968. He was accepted into the Writers' Union, performed a lot on stage and even played a couple of small roles in films. He came to television in 1978 and hosted the humorous program “Around Laughter” for 12 years, although at first it was planned that he would be a guest in one of the first episodes. San Sanych, as he was affectionately called, turned out to be so natural in the role of presenter that they decided to leave him. And not in vain - he made millions of TV viewers laugh.

Son of the laureate Nobel Prize Petra Kapitsa was born in Cambridge. It was destined for him to study science and, indeed, he became an outstanding physicist and was vice president Russian Academy natural sciences. But his merit is not only research work, but also in the fact that he brought science to people. And he did it in such an accessible form that the magazine “In the World of Science,” where he was editor-in-chief, became one of the most popular periodicals in the country, and episodes of the TV show “Obvious - Incredible” are still shown on the “Retro” channel. For his achievements in the popularization and propagation of scientific knowledge he was awarded with a prize RAS and the RAS gold medal.

Remember the children's TV show "ABVGDeyka"? Surely you remember. And remember its presenter Tatyana Kirillovna, the teacher, too. She said that “ABVGDeyka” is the only non-politicized program on Soviet television. And she spoke with knowledge of the matter, because she managed not only to host a fun educational program for children, but also to manage the editorial office of children's programs. Tatyana Chernyaeva is a certified journalist, graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University and has achieved considerable success in the journalistic field. In particular, she is a laureate of the “Best Pens of Russia” journalistic award and a member of the Academy of Russian Television. Tatyana Kirillovna has always advocated and still advocates for increasing the share of children's programs on Russian television. All the best goes to children.

The first association with the name of this TV presenter is the “Song of the Year” festival, the broadcast of which was not missed in any family. After all, “Song” was the main event in the world of Russian pop music, and later pop music. You could say that this is oldest show on our TV, because “Song” is still on today, starting in 1971. Together with Evgeny Menshov, Angelina Vovk hosted the festival 18 times, until 2006. In 2007, a scandal broke out: Alla Pugacheva ousted the presenters from the program, turning “Song” into her benefit performance. Now Angelina Mikhailovna hosts the “Good Health” program on First together with Gennady Malakhov.

The TV show “Travelers Club,” which Yuri Alexandrovich hosted for 30 years, is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as oldest show on Russian television. It aired weekly for 43 years and closed only after the death of Yuri Senkevich in 2003. Yuri Aleksandrovich is a military doctor, candidate of medical sciences and colonel of the medical service. And also a famous traveler, president of the Russian Travelers Association. He took part in the Soviet Antarctic expedition "Vostok", together with the famous Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl

September 14 famous TV presenter, television announcer, People's Artist USSR Igor Kirillov turns 85 years old. Many people associate his name primarily with the “Time” program, which he hosted for 30 years. Despite the strict rules that existed on Soviet television, Kirillov found elegant ways to evade these rules.

What was it like private life people's favorites smiling at us from the screen

"We just wanted to know who's leading today, Ninotchka or Valechka? Phrase from cult film Nikita Mikhalkov“Five Evenings” is evidence of the adoration that television viewers felt for the first TV announcers in the late 50s. The announcers were all over the place; they were known better than the actors. It was impossible to imagine that they, such relatives, could be touched by a tragedy.

Nina Kondratova became a victim of an angry bull

Among the very first and most beloved television announcers was Nina Kondratova(the same “Ninochka”). Very warm and sincere, friendly and tactful, she never acted on screen and remained herself, despite the fact that she graduated from the acting department of GITIS in 1950.

It seemed that Kondratova had a long and happy life ahead. creative biography. But then fate intervened. In 1965, Nina broadcast from VDNKh. While talking in front of the microphone about cows and bulls - record holders of one of the farms, 43-year-old Kondratova carelessly came too close to the animals. Frightened by the chattering cameras and the multitude of people, one of the bulls broke out of the pen and rushed straight towards Nina. One blow from a sharp horn - and the beautiful presenter was left without an eye...

It seemed like it was the end of a career. The television management wanted to send the woman into retirement due to injury, but then it was decided to keep her at work - such skill as Kondratova possessed is worth a lot. In addition, viewers, having learned about the tragedy, bombarded television editorial offices with bags of letters, supporting their favorite. Perhaps this fact helped her stay on television. An artificial one was made for her glass eye, almost no different from the present.

Kondratova hosted programs for some time, and then became a consulting announcer.

Valentina Leontyeva fell out of love with her own child

Another TV presenter enjoyed the same popularity as Nina Kondratova - Valentina Leontyeva(“Valechka”). She came to television at the age of just over 30, in 1954, first assisting the director, then becoming an announcer. After a short break in her career (together with her diplomat husband, Leontyeva lived in the USA for some time) she returned to the silver screen.

Valentina Mikhailovna or, as the children often called her, Aunt Valya, for a long time hosted children's programs - “Good night, kids!”, “Skillful hands” and “Visiting a fairy tale.” Her soft, captivating voice, attractive image, emphasized intelligence and goodwill made her programs incredibly popular.

These qualities of Leontyeva provided highest ratings program “With all my heart”, which Valentina Mikhailovna created and released on the air in 1972. The program can be called the forerunner of the current “Wait for Me” program. There, too, people met who had not seen each other long years, - relatives, colleagues, separated friends and lovers.

The whole country cried in front of the television screens, and Valentina Mikhailovna explained the success of the program simply: “You have to give your soul.” She did not sleep at night before the release of the program, was imbued with the fate of each of her heroes or heroines and remembered everyone about whom she filmed 52 stories.

While Leontyeva united other people's families, her own was collapsing far from the tear-stained eyes of television viewers. Journalists wrote a lot about the fact that Valentina Mikhailovna’s only son Dmitriy Since childhood, I have not received enough attention from my mother, which she generously gave to all the other children of the Soviet Union. Valentina Mikhailovna disappeared almost all the time at work - Dima saw his mother more often on TV than at home. Subsequently, Leontyeva very much regretted that she “didn’t give” her only son love. But it was already too late.

There were rumors that Dmitry put a dash in the “mother” column when filling out documents. They said that she never managed to establish a relationship with him - until the end of her life. The son didn’t even come to his mother’s funeral - last years she lived with her sister in small village V Ulyanovsk region. Moreover, at the end of her life, Valentina Mikhailovna was hospitalized with a hip fracture, and friends claimed that this was the work of her son. Dmitry Vinogradov himself denies everything that is written and said on this topic, calling accusations of callousness and enmity with his mother an invention of journalists. Who knows how things really were?

Anna Shilova suffered because of her son

Anna Shilova started almost simultaneously with Kondratova and Leontyeva. Actually, she was going to be an actress and even managed to star in small roles. But at the age of 20, in 1947, Anna was given a cruel diagnosis - spinal tuberculosis. Things were heading towards disability, and with acting profession I had to say goodbye. But the young woman did not accept her fate. Not only did she persistently undergo treatment, but she also decided to sharp turn– in 1956 a competition was held on television. Back then, there were up to 500 applicants for one announcer position.

Anna Nikolaevna managed to overcome the disease and became a style icon for television viewers for almost 40 years. She was considered the standard of Soviet television - she was both reserved and very charming. Shilova gave a unique intonation “ Blue lights”, which she constantly led with Igor Kirillov. The audience was sure that they were married.

Actually about personal life Little is known about Anna Nikolaevna. The name was given to her by a VGIK student Junior Shilov, with whom they married very early, in 1945.

Anna Shilova passionately wanted to have a child - her first pregnancy was unsuccessful. And then a son was born Alexei. According to some sources, he also worked as a TV announcer. But due to alcoholism, my career did not work out.

In recent years, Anna Nikolaevna struggled with a terrible cancer disease and at the same time supported her only son as best she could. They say that in a drunken stupor he raised his hand to his mother.

Shilova passed away in 2001. A year later, Alexei was buried in the same grave.

In Tatiana Sudets's family, all the men died young

The baton of senior colleagues in 1972 was taken over by 25-year-old Tatiana Sudets. She entered every home in the guise of the host of the children's program “Good night, kids!” She happened to be “Aunt Tanya” in the company Piggy And Stepashki more than 25 years. However, Tatyana was also capable of other programs - she worked in the announcer’s department, hosted the programs “Time”, “Moscow and Muscovites”, “Blue Light”, “Song of the Year”.

After Soviet Union ordered to live long, Tatyana Sudets hastened to be called a “talking head” - along with many other experienced announcers, she was blacklisted and was asked to resign.

And then the worst thing a woman can imagine happened to her - in 1992, her 24-year-old son died Andrey. Young man he was killed by some scumbags who coveted his clothes. At first, the young man was considered missing - his body was found only a month later.

A year and a half earlier, one friend prophesied to Tatyana: “You will lose a man and you will suffer for a long time for him,” to which Sudets laughed and replied: “Because of a man? Never!". She remembered this prediction when she lost her son.

Since childhood, Tatyana believed in fate, in destiny, and knew that in their family on the maternal side, all men died or died early. So, her grandfather had four sons - they all died very early; the grandfather himself died when Tanya’s grandmother was in her second month of pregnancy. 8 years before the death of her son, Sudets lost her brother - he died completely absurdly, he was stabbed to death by a drunk neighbor, who was offended by the fact that he was rushing to the hospital to see his father Vladimir I didn’t let him call him on the phone - he said he didn’t have time.

Today in Tatyana Alexandrovna’s life the most important people are her daughter Daria and grandchildren Kirill and Anna. She still works hard - she holds the position of President of the Interregional public fund“Russian Tradition”, teaches at the television school at MAGMU.
