She worked hard for three years. Next, we will describe the main activity for which Elena Vinnik is most remembered. “NTV” is a channel that has become the presenter’s new place of work. She came to this company to test her strength. As a result, it soon became one of the most popular and recognizable news anchors. At NTV she worked on the news program “Today”. The journalist's name is strongly associated with this television company. However, in 2020, information appeared that she began working on another channel. Thus, she devoted more than ten years to NTV and joined the staff of Channel One. The journalist does not report the reasons for this change. We can assume that this is the next stage of her career. From now on, Vinnik’s professional biography is connected with her activities on Channel One.
The key to a successful career as a TV presenter is professionalism and hard work. She has extensive experience in broadcasting live broadcasts. Working on Channel One is a serious achievement.
Childhood and youth
Elena was born in September 1976 in Pskov. According to information received from some media outlets, the TV presenter's maiden name is Malinskaya. According to her zodiac sign she is Virgo. As for nationality, some websites, without providing any evidence, write that Vinnik is Jewish.
As a child, Lena dreamed of becoming a veterinarian and treating animals. During her school years, in parallel with general education lessons, she studied in the Lada dance group, attended the rhythmic gymnastics section and became a master of sports. Having received a matriculation certificate, Vinnik entered the Pskov Free Institute, then graduated from the Academy of National Economy under the Russian government.

The specialty of a lawyer was quite easy for Elena. The TV presenter emphasizes the role of practical teachers who taught not mere theory, but real life things. Now, when preparing news texts, she sees where and what errors there are - an incorrect link or a legislative act is not indicated, and takes action in advance.
Thanks to her deep knowledge, Vinnik won a grant from the Open Society Institute, founded by the George Soros Foundation, for additional studies at the University of Manchester. The girl returned from the UK with a master's degree in international family law.
How Elena Vinnik got to Channel One
Channel One and Rossiya are long-time competitors. In addition to poaching presenters, copying ideas and television programs, the channels were also noted for the strained relationship between two television bosses - Konstantin Ernst and Oleg Dobrodeev. Recently, the position of “First” has significantly weakened. This is also due to a decrease in advertising revenues, which occurs due to the departure of viewers to cable channels and Internet TV , lower government investments compared to VGTRK, and lower business activity in the country as a whole.
Elena Vinnik
In order to rectify the situation, Ernst invited the former scandalous presenter Kirill Kleimenov to return to the channel in the status of director of information programs, who was remembered by viewers not only for his propaganda methods, but also for his absolutely fantastic interpretations of the news. Critic Irina Petrovskaya, speaking about Kleymenov, even once called him “a singer of a parallel reality.” However, this did not prevent Kleimenov, who actively imitated Ernst in his communication and appearance, from earning the trust of his boss. Returning to the “first” button, Kleimenov began updating the roster, however, apparently, he decided not only to complete the tasks, but also to make money from it along the way. It seems that one of the types of earnings was supposed to be trading in key positions on the screen - the places of TV presenters, and the absolute diamond, costing the most, was the sale of the place of the “face of Channel One”, the evening news presenter, which was received by a certain Elena Vinnik. The former simple Pskov journalist, and then a successful presenter on the NTV channel and, since 2020, on Channel One, owes her career to her “very close friend” - the director of the Kuntsevo market, Sergei Zotov. It’s no coincidence that some sites call him a lover? The official husband of the presenter, biotechnologist Andrei Vinnik, does not seem to be an obstacle to this connection, since he understands that the happiness and peace of the family largely depends on him. Moreover, her connection with the capital’s billionaire is quite old, dating back to 2003, when he warmed up to a simple Pskov girl who came to conquer Moscow and immediately made her a famous TV personality.
An important feature in the biography of Elena Vinnik and her “heart friend” is their closeness to the influential American establishment. Elena Vinnik herself is a winner of the Soros Foundation; thanks to the grant she won, she studied at the University of Manchester, where she met the children of influential Anglo-Saxon businessmen and politicians, both in the UK and in the USA. This greatly helped her build her career at a time when Russia was not under Western sanctions, and her benefactor became the owner of multibillion-dollar assets received from the Moscow construction business. Vinnik turned out to be not only a skilled combat friend, but also a good diplomat. The Soros Foundation is a well-known forge of anti-Russian personnel, which helps to transform from a simple journalist into a serious agent of influence. In 2020, the Prosecutor General’s Office declared two organizations financed by Soros, the Open Society Foundation and the Open Society Assistance Foundation, undesirable in the Russian Federation, since both threatened the constitutional order of Russia. For cooperation with these NGOs, Russian citizens face a fine, and in case of repeated violation - from 2 to 6 years in prison. According to 24smi.org, Elena Vinnik went to study in England precisely from the Open Society Foundation. But a career needs to end on a high, and for this, 40-year-old Elena Vinnik needed to conquer a real peak, which for her became the “face of Channel One.” Of course, it was not easy to get into this position until the position of director of information programs was taken by the enterprising businessman Kirill Kleimenov. According to the Insider agency, Zotov allegedly had to pay an impressive sum to promote his girlfriend from ordinary presenters to the status of close to a real TV star. After all, the whole country watches the evening news, which means that the one sitting in front of the camera speaks to an audience of almost a hundred million. It was most likely not difficult for Kleimenov to convince Ernst that Vinnik would become the new face of the “first” button; after all, she already worked in the company, and her appearance was suitable. The general director lost sight of the fact that someone could make money from the appointment, believing that Kleimenov was doing everything for the benefit of the channel, carrying out the instructions of his boss.
Television and journalism
Elena Vinnik began her career as a TV presenter in her native Pskov in 1994. Her mother found out that a local TV channel was holding a competition for the role of presenter. The woman insisted that her daughter try herself in this casting. Elena passed the selection and first received a position as a correspondent, and then as an announcer in the Pskov State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. For a short time the girl switched to Telecom Channel 7, but soon returned to her previous place of work.

In 2020, against the backdrop of escalating confrontation between Russia and the West, Elena Vinnik was reminded of her studies abroad with Soros’s money. The Telegram channel “Mediatechnologist” released a publication stating that the presence of such people “on one of the main news fields of the country” is tantamount to the penetration of an enemy intelligence officer straight into the enemy’s headquarters. This is definitely a blow to the reputation of Channel One, whose managers should select personnel more carefully.

In any case, this was hinted at by the CrimeRu telegram channel, which reported that Vinnik’s “expansion” in the evening news was being paid for by a certain businessman. Allegedly, he is personally interested in the presenter’s airtime increasing.
Such news, which rather looked like rumors, did not attract much attention, and there was no reaction from the media. Elena did not comment either.
