To become a TV presenter in the USSR, in addition to the appropriate education, you had to have a number of professional skills, including perfect diction and impeccable knowledge of the Russian language. We all remember very well Valery Komissarov, who hosted the “My Family” program, Elena Hangu, the host of the “About This” program, Valdis Pelsh, with whom we guessed songs throughout the country, and many others whose names are familiar to us from childhood. Some of them have disappeared from television screens, while others continue to delight viewers with their charisma. Let's see what TV and radio presenters of the 90s look like today.
Ksenia Strizh
50 years, “Swift and others”, “Night rendezvous”
In the 90s, Ksenia Strizh was a successful television and radio presenter, but several years ago she completely disappeared from the air. On the eve of her anniversary, Ksenia decided to radically change her life and regain her former popularity. First of all, Swift wanted to completely transform herself. For help, she turned to the specialists of the First Channel program “10 Years Younger.”
Ksenia underwent a facelift, eyelid lift and chin correction. Strizh also had dental implants installed, dilated blood vessels on her face were removed, and a number of cosmetic procedures were performed.
The final chord of the TV presenter’s transformation was a visit to a stylist, makeup artist and hairdresser. At the end of the program, Ksenia was unrecognizable - Swift really began to look 10 years younger.
Valeria Korableva
Valeria Korableva was born on August 16, 1978 in Moscow. After graduating from school, she studied at the Moscow Linguistic University at the Faculty of Translation, where she mastered the French and English languages perfectly. In 2000, Korableva was accepted to Channel One in the Directorate of Information Programs, where Valeria joined the international department as an editor.
In 2010, she married her beloved Peter. Married to him, Korableva gave birth to a son, Artyom.
Still from the “News” program
At the moment, journalist Valeria Korableva regularly appears in the news program “News”, and has also been hosting President Vladimir Putin’s “Direct Line” since 2016.
The girl first came to First in 2000 - it was an internship while studying in her last year at Moscow State Linguistic University. Then she liked the situation in the Ostankino TV tower, and she, in turn, liked the management of the country’s main channel. Therefore, after receiving her diploma, the girl was invited to work.
Elena Hanga
55 years old, “About This”
A black TV presenter in a platinum wig talks about oral sex, and a man in an S&M suit sits in the guest’s chair and confesses his love for spanking. For Russia in the late 90s, the show “About This” became an explosion of consciousness. Millions of TV viewers learned that this is what cunnilingus is called, and that sperm can be swallowed. At that time, the editors received tons of handwritten messages: with curses and frank confessions that finally someone in this country had raised the topic of attraction to fat women, sex after 50 years and masturbation.
Channel One presenter Anastasia Tregubova became a mother of many children

The 34-year-old TV presenter of the Good Morning program on Channel One, Anastasia Tregubova, has become a mother again. The young woman gave birth to her husband Alexander’s third child. A joyful event in the couple’s life occurred on Tuesday, January 30th. Anastasia gave her husband a charming girl. The baby's name has not yet been announced.
Anastasia's fans congratulate her on the new addition to the family and wish her all the best. "Hooray! Health and mood”, “Happiness”, they write in the comments to a recent publication by the TV presenter.
“My daughter and I feel good. Now I am coming to my senses and gaining strength. Perhaps we won’t stop there...” Tregubova shared with StarHit.
The fact that the TV presenter plans to give birth to a third child became known in September. “I feel great,” Anastasia shared with StarHit when she was six months pregnant. Throughout the entire period of waiting for the baby, the star’s husband Alexander took care of her and showed signs of attention.
Tregubova’s older children are already going to school. Her daughter Lisa is 11 years old, and her son Misha is seven; he recently started school. The star mother supported his choice of educational institution.
“This year Misha will go to first grade at School No. 2123 named after Miguel Hernandez. It all started with the fact that he began going to kindergarten at this school, which had a strong Spanish program: studying the language and culture of English-speaking countries, Anastasia said before her heir began his studies. – As a mother, I want to give him the maximum that is possible, but, of course, I will always listen to my son’s opinion and choice. Misha is really looking forward to the first of September and wants to go to this school.”
According to Anastasia, she previously had prejudices about pregnancy. Once upon a time, the presenter preferred to hide the fact that she was preparing for a new addition to the family. After a while, Tregubova began to feel calmer about this. In September, the star vacationed in Greece with her husband Alexander. The pregnant woman tolerated the flight and changing weather conditions well. Anastasia enjoyed the days she spent on vacation with her husband.
“A vacation for me is an opportunity to get plenty of sleep, until 10 or 11, because on weekdays I wake up at four in the morning, when there is no filming, at seven to get the children ready for school. Oh, how I dreamed that we would go to the sea and I could sleep to my heart's content. This is how everything happens... But my husband, on the contrary, wakes up early and brings me breakfast to my room,” the presenter said on the microblog.
Nikolay Fomenko
55 years old, “Empire of Passion”, “Simply Simple”
“Empire of Passion” is a bright but quickly faded project by Nikolai Fomenko, who awkwardly tried to ride the wave of general sexual emancipation. The show, like “About This,” was broadcast at night due to its unbridled content: the participants, a man and a woman, performed simple undressing tasks. Unlike the Hanga project, Fomenko had live naked people appear in his studio. Almost 20 years later, it’s impossible to watch the “hot” episodes of “Empire” without yawning and skipping ahead. But nice try, Nikolai.
Romance is fuel for girls
— Why did you need graduate school?
— There is no definite answer. Maybe I'll start teaching. I'm thinking about starting my own course. I am often invited to master classes, and I see that it is impossible to convey to people all the basic knowledge and skills within one meeting. By the way, I was given a “good” grade for my thesis work. This means there is an opportunity to remake it into a Ph.D. thesis. In the meantime, I received the qualification of a “teacher-researcher.”
— How did you get into the prestigious Moscow State University?
— Graduated from the Faculty of Journalism in Tashkent. Then a master's degree. At some point I was informed that Moscow State University has an international program. That's how I got there. One or two people were selected from each post-Soviet country. We not only studied, but also learned from each other about the specific features of working in the media in a particular state. MSU also has majors. But I never considered myself one of them. I come from a simple family - my parents are music teachers. And I always combined study with work.
— Is it difficult to get on Channel One?
— A casting was announced: they were looking for a male presenter on “Good Morning.” But I still decided to try my luck and sent my portfolio. After some time I even forgot about it, and a year later they called me and invited me.
— What time do you wake up on the day of the broadcast?
- At three o'clock in the morning. To go live at five in the morning looking beautiful and cheerful. The main thing is that the voice has time to wake up: I don’t even answer calls when I’m sleepy. For cities that wake up earlier than Moscow, we broadcast from the studio in Ostankino. We arrive there the evening before, work, then sleep for three to four hours and go back into the picture. There we even have our own cots and individual bed linen.

— Does your young man Pavel live on a different schedule?
— On weekdays he gets up at seven or eight in the morning. Plus he often goes on business trips. Our lifestyles are not easy to reconcile, but we try. Sometimes you want to give up everything and ride with him. But I understand that I cannot become a housewife.
- How long have you been together?
- Fourth. And I’ve been his fiancée for over a year now. We just can’t find time for the wedding: we don’t understand what it will be and where. Pasha is from Minsk. So we’re thinking: should we go to celebrate with him or to Tashkent? Or maybe we should invite all our relatives to come to Moscow? The only thing I know for sure is that I will have a beautiful white dress and many flowers. By the way, according to Uzbek traditions, we are already husband and wife: our engagement took place in Tashkent.
- Congratulations! Need some romance?
- This is fuel for girls! Pasha is an ideal man in this sense. He carried his engagement ring with him on our various trips for a year to propose to me. For example, I planned to have a dinner at the Eiffel Tower in Paris and get down on one knee there. But every time something went wrong. In the end, everything happened spontaneously. One fine evening we were sitting at home, chatting for a long time about something, and then suddenly he proposed to me. At first I didn’t understand anything. And I saw the ring much later, when he allegedly went for coffee and returned with a huge bouquet of lilies. Pasha often gives me flowers.
- Are you jealous of him?
- Very. We sometimes have such Italian passions raging. And we break dishes, and... In general, it’s hard for our neighbors (laughs). Since we travel a lot, we created a joint project “A spoonful of the world.” Everywhere I go, I always take a master class on cooking national dishes from local chefs or ordinary housewives. We go to the market together. I'm returning to Moscow with new recipes. Pasha takes excellent photographs - it’s his hobby. So this is our joint work - we blog on Instagram.

Despite political storms and changing eras, “Time” still remains the main information program in our country. Currently, it has more than 20 correspondent offices in the CIS countries and Russia and almost the same number in non-CIS countries.

Announcers Igor Kirillov, Aza Likhitchenko, Nonna Bodrova, Anna Shatilova, Viktor Balashov, Alla Danko, Svetlana Zhiltsova, Vladimir Maslachenko, Evgeniy Suslov were loved and considered one of their own in every home.

The corporate style, a kind of “calling card” of Sergei Dorenko on television was sharp criticism of high-ranking officials and the disclosure of incriminating evidence about them. So, in 1999, Dorenko showed on air real estate owned by Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, revealed the amount of his money and showed compromising photos of Luzhkov. After this program, Sergei Dorenko received the nickname “telekiller”. The objects of Dorenko’s criticism at different times were such political figures as Anatoly Chubais, Boris Nemtsov and Vladimir Putin.

@alena_lapshina_lasto4kina
Alena Lapshina's career began in her native Tomsk, where she worked on local television. However, after receiving the TEFI-Region bronze award, the girl was invited to Moscow to report news on First.
Alena Lapshina was born in 1983 in Tomsk. At first she worked on local TV, but after she became the winner of the bronze Orpheus of the TEFI-Region competition, she was invited to Moscow to host a news television program on Channel One.
When the girl worked in Tomsk on the TV-2 channel, viewers knew her as Alena Lastochkina. There is an assumption that at that time she was married to a man with that last name, but there is no exact confirmation of this information. When Alena started working on Channel One, she returned her maiden name.
Now the TV presenter has a full-fledged family, but the press knows nothing about her husband. There is only information that Lapshina’s son’s name is Roman.
