Ekaterina Grinchevskaya
Ekaterina Grinchevskaya has been hosting news programs on the Russia 24 channel for more than ten years. She has been recognized more than once as one of the most beautiful TV presenters in the country. However, Catherine is not only beautiful, but also smart. Before her television career, she graduated from the Volga-Vyatka Academy of Civil Service and MGIMO, as well as the Institute for Advanced Studies for Television and Radio Broadcasting Workers.
The journalist is truly passionate about her work. In one of the interviews, she admitted that she wants not only to convey information to people, but also a piece of her warmth, her soul, if, of course, the news itself allows this.
She devotes her free time to her family: Ekaterina is married for the second time and has three children, the youngest of whom is now four years old.

However, according to her, she would like to have another child and also adopt. The TV presenter also dreams of learning French, learning to play the piano and traveling around the world.
Olga Bashmarova
It’s hard to believe that the charming Olga Bashmarova once wanted to work on television as anyone, just not on camera, because she was very afraid.
In Kaliningrad, where she studied, she was first persuaded to try herself as a correspondent on the set, and then as a presenter of a local channel. In 2008, the girl was invited to present news on Russia 24, where she still works.
Olga herself does not consider her career very successful: she has been working in her position for a long time and wants to move on, to do something more responsible. In her opinion, work is very important, but it should not replace a person’s love, family and friends.
This does not threaten the journalist herself; she successfully combines her broadcasts with the role of a young mother.

Instructor Maria Grigorieva
Last year I went rafting with the command post to Tumcha, where Anna Patokina was the assistant instructor.
And this year I specially signed up for a hike, where Anna was the main instructor, she was sure that everything would be wonderful, and so it was. — The river is very interesting. The rapids, on the one hand, are not the most powerful (for example, much less powerful than on Tumcha), so even those who are rafting for the first time are unlikely to be scared. But on the other hand, the rapids are very technical, there are dozens (or even hundreds) of places where you can sit on a rock, many of the rapids are very long, so a great opportunity to learn technique and endurance. We looked through all the most important rapids, the instructors explained how to pass. So, it seems to me that the river is wonderful both as a first and for those who have already been rafting: on the one hand, there are no special risks here, on the other hand, for a “clean” passage you need to really try. Almost all the lakes were passed by motor (it is cold and windy, take warm clothes). - The nature is amazing. It’s useless to describe it, it needs to be seen. Our last stop was very memorable: on a hill above a huge calm lake, around a pine tree, from the rocks you can watch a bright pink sunset. In general, there are pine trees, moss, and blueberries everywhere. In good weather these are obviously beautiful places for swimming, we did not have such grace from nature, it was cold, but the beauty is incredible. You go to the water to wash the bowl - and you hang there for 10 minutes, unable to tear yourself away from the beautiful view of the water and the opposite shore. — The company was wonderful. I’ve often heard the stereotype that on commercial trips you find yourself in the same group with strangers, and this is supposedly “not the same” - worse than with your own company. But in absolutely all the hikes where I was with the command post, I was very lucky with people. And this time the company was very cheerful, cheerful, everyone was ready to help each other, everyone did everything together. Still, I think that by definition, like-minded people gather on the same hike, so they are no longer strangers, but like-minded people, and then they become completely one team. Special admiration for guitarist Slava! — Food: thank you for the wonderful layout, it was super tasty. After hiking, I often want to finally eat normal food, but after this hike, that didn’t happen. It was always super tasty, the food was always different - a pleasant surprise every time. And even vegetable salads for dinner. I ate tastier and healthier than at home. Thank you very much to Anya and Masha. — And most importantly, the instructors are beyond praise, I can’t even find words! Everything was perfectly organized both on the water and on land. Anya - thank you very much for such a clear and precise organization. It was always clear what we should do and how, what the routine should be and what to expect. And many thanks to Anya for the good atmosphere during the hike, for the way she thinks about making everyone psychologically comfortable, feels who to encourage, who to pay attention to. Many thanks to Masha for her tireless help with duty. This is the first time I’ve seen this, that the instructor helped the duty officers every time and even selflessly got up before everyone else every day for this purpose. It makes life so much easier when you don’t have to worry about preparing something wrong when you’re on duty, when an experienced person will always help. And thanks to Masha for the opportunity to practice on a catamaran during the day, for her patience and willingness to explain and try the same thing a hundred times. Now I really want to go to Masha’s training in Losevo. And for the same, a huge thank you to Zhenya, for how much effort he spent on rides with everyone during the day. From the outside, of course, it seems that Zhenya has an infinite amount of power and endurance - but I suspect that even he needed a lot of strength and patience to train with everyone, thanks to him for this generosity. And also thanks to the instructors for their sincerity, for the fact that they were always with the participants not only on the water, but also in everyday life, and in songs, gatherings around the fire. There was a feeling that they also enjoyed being in the same company, both with each other and with the participants, and this also united everyone. I highly recommend this route and instructors to everyone, and I will come back again!
Vera Krasova
Vera is officially one of the most beautiful girls in the world: in 2008, she took fourth place in the Miss Universe competition.
But on television she hosts very serious programs, for example, economic or science news. Now she is the host of the main linear broadcast of the Russia 24 channel.
She also devotes time to charity events and beauty contests, again as a presenter.
Her personal life is also fine: she is married and has a son, but she does not seek to make her personal life public.
Vera believes that appearance is not the most important thing for a journalist. You need to be able to navigate a huge flow of information, highlight the main thing from it and convey it to the audience in clear words, have competent speech and the ability to win people over.
First success
Ekaterina begins her career while studying at the university as an editor of the Meteo-TV program. At first, the girl worked on compiling texts for weather forecasts. And a year later, the unexpected happens: the director of Meteo-TV invites Grigorov to try herself as a weather forecast presenter in the Good Morning, Russia! program. So the profession of a TV presenter becomes Ekaterina’s main job and the key to her main success. The girl manages to simultaneously study at the university and work on a television set.
Then Grigorova enters graduate school and successfully defends her dissertation, receiving the degree of Candidate of Geographical Sciences. And a little later, a charming girl with excellent diction is invited to the Vesti-Moskva program on the Russia-1 TV channel.
Maria Bondareva
Some call Maria the smartest presenter of the Russia 24 TV channel, others call her the most mysterious, and there are reasons for both. The girl graduated from four universities in different specialties: she has diplomas in law, journalism, foreign language teacher, and even a theater institute. According to TV viewers, she doesn’t just read news from a page - she is well versed in what she says, and this, first of all, is economic and financial news.
Maria herself once admitted in an interview that she reads mostly not fiction, but economics textbooks in order to understand the phenomena and processes she talks about.
Once upon a time, it was difficult to find out about Maria’s personal life, but after she started Instagram, where she posts photos of her family, it became known that she has a son and a little daughter.

Raising children and hobbies outside of work
Maria keeps her personal life a secret, so many viewers don’t even know if she has a husband and children. It is known that in 2020 she gave birth to a son, Ivan, who was born on the eve of International Women's Day. And a year later she became a mother for the second time: she had a daughter. Her colleagues congratulated her on this joyful event. The presenter never revealed to the public who the father of the children is. She tries to spend as much time as possible with the children, but her responsible job does not allow her to do this.

Bondareva has a personal page on Instagram, where she posts photos both from the filming of the program and with friends and children. Whenever there are free days, the broadcast star goes on a trip, goes to theater performances, or attends various exhibitions. She loves to read, but due to lack of time, she pays more attention to professional growth, studying books on economics.
Natalia Litovko
Many people remember Natalya Litovko as a girl telling men about cars, because for quite a long time she was the host of the AutoVesti program. Moreover, Natalya really understands cars; she conducted test drives for her releases herself.
Natalya completely devoted herself to her career; it is not known whether she has a family. But we know that she started working on TV at the age of 16 as a reporter in Krasnodar. In 2008, after moving to Moscow, she began working as a correspondent and anchored news on Russia 24, worked as editor-in-chief of the Strana TV channel, and participated in the 2012 presidential campaign.
Curious: the main thing about the presenters of “Vesti” on the Russia 1 channel
For the sake of work, Natalya is ready for real feats. For example, for the sake of a film about oil production in the Arctic, she lived for a week on a drilling platform in the Arctic Circle. The journalist sees her mission as showing all the most interesting things that our country has, something that Russians can and should be proud of.
Ekaterina Gracheva
Ekaterina Gracheva has not only an attractive appearance, but also intelligence and determination. She probably inherited such qualities from her father, a polar explorer and engineer-inventor. Ekaterina graduated from the Faculty of International Journalism at MGIMO and has since been successfully working as a news anchor.
The girl speaks Italian and English well, and devotes her free time to creative hobbies. She loves to paint, and also studied acting at the Nikita Mikhalkov Academy.

Maria Belova
Maria is a very versatile girl. She began her television career by reporting on cultural events and fashion. And now she works as an economic observer, which, however, does not prevent her from continuing her career as a fashion model and DJ.
According to Maria, when she decided to enroll in the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University, her parents were very surprised, since the family has nothing to do with the media, but they did not object. At first, the girl planned to work on the radio, but as a result, she began acting in programs while still studying, first in amateur programs, then in professional ones, so her career as a radio host did not work out.
Maria is very interested in fashion. In everyday life, he often wears business suits: work imposes its own habits.
But she also likes to experiment and believes that there is no need to buy all the things that are now in trend, because the main thing for a girl is uniqueness.

The husband of ex-wife Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov showed the face of their son for the first time
Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov with his ex-wife Masha
Immediately after the birth of the boy, Maria and Andrei Zubkov completely plunged into family troubles, which they often tell the public about. However, until the very end, young parents preferred to keep the appearance of the newborn a secret from prying eyes. Only today the father of the child, who was named Alexander, decided to publish a selection of photographs of the baby.
Zubkov showed the first touching footage from his son’s life - from birth to the present moment. Among them there are both studio and personal photographs taken by mom and dad. The basketball player accompanied his new post with a touching caption that resonated with fans.
“Well, here we are for three months. We are growing very quickly, 71 centimeters and 7.3 kilograms. Yes, sometimes I don’t sleep at night, but I’m a very good, cheerful and sweet child. Our dear, your mother and I love you very much and will do everything so that you grow up the happiest,” Andrey wrote.
Young parents are passionate about raising their son
Admirers of the star couple immediately began to guess who the child was more like, and also wished the heir of Masha and Andrey a happy life. "So cool! Good health to my son. He is your copy"; “Grow big and healthy”; “Oh, what a pencil baby! Pah-pah-pah, grow big and strong,” Andrey’s subscribers responded.
Godson of Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov: “We won’t miss his ex-wife”
Let us recall that Maria lived with Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov for 16 years. The couple has two sons: Ivan and Artemy. After the separation, the musician admitted that he does not hold a grudge against his ex-wife and still treats her with kindness.
“The fact that Masha and I ran away was not a surprise for either me or her, because our relationship, our feelings, have really cooled down over the past couple of years. Although I can say for myself that I love her now just as much as on the first day we met. And, of course, I was worried,” Grigoriev-Appolonov told StarHit.
Maria and Andrei Zubkov quickly got married
By the way, the singer’s fans are not so friendly. Many consider Maria’s act ugly and condemn Grigoriev-Appolonov’s ex-wife. Andrei himself decided not to take part in conversations on this topic and began preparing for his own anniversary, which will take place in the summer. Now the artist is recording new songs for the holiday concert. “Are you talking about your ex-wife? Advice and love, an exclamation point,” the performer previously stated.

Ksenia is an economist by training. She got into television in her last year of college, almost by accident. First she worked in Volgograd, then moved to Moscow. The TV presenter says that the economy practically haunts her, and on the Russia 24 channel she most often hosts a block of economic news.
Ksenia is one of the few girls working on camera who doesn’t trust stylists, so she does her makeup and hair herself. By the way, she could have become an actress, because she passed a competition to one of the Moscow theater universities, but she was afraid to go to Moscow to study.
The girl admits that she loves going on air and every time she experiences an adrenaline rush, like when jumping with a parachute. In her free time from work, she plays tennis, dances and kickboxing.
