Appearing in the “Revizorro” program, Elena Letuchaya gained wild popularity in record time, confidently exposing unscrupulous owners of restaurants and hotels. The smart and bright TV presenter immediately became a favorite of TV viewers, who have been following her creative biography since then. In her career there were many interesting projects and original programs, for which Letuchaya received many awards, as well as the highest television awards - TEFI statuettes.
To achieve success, Elena tries not to lose sight of the chances that fate provides her, but at the same time strives to work hard. In 2020, her career also does not stand still: the broadcast star will appear in two new projects on Channel One.
Happy childhood years
The future broadcast star was born in 1978 in Yaroslavl, where she spent her early childhood years. The professions of her parents were not related to television: her father, Alexander Nikolaevich Letuchy, and mother, Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Letuchaya, worked as civil engineers.
Little Lena loved to play with the boys, running with them around the yard and garages. Soon her parents were sent to build the BAM, so the girl had to live with them in Tynda, where she soon went to first grade. Despite being busy, her parents tried to develop their daughter comprehensively: the girl went to a dance club, figure skated, and also studied at an art school. During school holidays she went to Nizhny Novgorod or St. Petersburg, where her grandmothers lived. Lena visited all the sights of these beautiful cities, becoming familiar with the world of beauty from childhood.

While studying at art school, the girl dreamed of connecting her life with painting, but already in high school she became interested in becoming an architect. When she informed her parents about her choice, they were not against it, but were afraid to let her go to St. Petersburg alone. Then, at a family council, father and mother suggested that their daughter enter the College of Finance and Economics in Blagoveshchensk. Having received the profession of a financier, Letuchaya left for Moscow, where she got a well-paid and interesting job - at Gazprom. However, she soon realized that this was not her place, so she urgently decided to change her life.
Lena Letuchaya's departure from Revizorro
A big tragedy for fans and admirers of Letuchaya was the news of her departure from the Revizorro program. According to the public, Elena was perfect for this role, with her punchy character, pleasant appearance and ability to enter “closed doors”, but Letuchaya preferred her personal life to filming in the program. According to rumors, it was Elena Letuchaya’s lover, Yuri Anashenkov, who asked his beloved to change her position to a safer one. Very soon a new program with Elena’s participation will be released on Friday TV channel.

Conquering the TV Olympus
After leaving a prestigious place, the girl searched for herself for a whole year, trying several professions: stylist, makeup artist, decorator. Then she began going to castings, thanks to which she starred in commercials and even appeared in TV series and films, where she got episodes. Even then, Elena realized that she liked to be visible and work with people. But she got into television thanks to a friend who suggested that she go to the School of Television for company.
2010
Her career began in 2010. At first, Letuchaya was an editor at VGTRK and at the same time filmed stories for the Capital channel. Soon she had her own programs (“ART life” and “Territory of Men”). In 2011, the presenter managed to get a job as a producer and editor of the talk shows “Let Them Talk” and “Tonight,” where she gained invaluable experience. Over time, Elena became a real workaholic: she managed to do production work, and also worked on creating documentaries and projects.
Still from the Revizorro program
In 2014, she launched her own program “Revizorro” on the Friday channel, thanks to which the TV presenter wanted to improve the quality of service in different cities. Her participation in this project lasted for three seasons, but then the broadcast star decided to leave her creation. They immediately found a replacement for her in the person of Olga Romanovskaya, however, the audience demanded the return of their favorite presenter. Letuchaya reappeared on the Pyatnitsa TV channel, becoming the host of the “Revizorro School” project.
TV show Flying Squad
In the fall of 2020, the management of Channel One invited her to go on air with a new program, thanks to which viewers were soon able to evaluate Elena’s new project called “Flying Squad.” This time the checks took place in schools and hospitals in the cities. But after several releases this program was closed. As it turned out, due to frequent flights, the 39-year-old had health problems: doctors diagnosed her with unstable angina. In her microblog, the presenter informed fans that she was leaving the show, but would soon return with a new program.
Flying Elena: biography, personal life
Our heroine is a tall blonde with a sweet face, blue eyes and a chiseled figure. She hardly ever had problems associated with a lack of male attention. And indeed, at school and college, guys ran after Lena. They presented her with flowers and compliments and invited her on dates. But then Letuchaya’s first priority was study.
The TV presenter was offered marriage three times - at 23, at 24 and at 26. And each time the girl was forced to refuse. She understood that she was not ready to become a caring and homely wife. She wanted to move forward and build her career.
Creating a harmonious family
In the summer of 2020, a joyful event occurred in Elena’s personal life: she married her chosen one, who was entrepreneur and lawyer Yuri Anashenkov. If this was the bride’s first marriage, then the groom already had a family relationship and raised two sons with his ex-wife. The lovers began their romance after Yuri divorced her. The presenter has already managed to make friends with her husband’s children, who visit them. Anashenkov himself takes care of his sons and takes an active part in their upbringing, which Letuchaya greatly appreciates. Her parents really liked the broadcast star’s husband, and now they are very glad that their daughter is in good hands.

Elena is happy with her husband, because now she can sometimes relax and forget all her problems for a while. He surrounded her with care and also took control of many of her affairs. Thanks to the support of her husband, the presenter created several episodes of “Revizorro”, as he advised her on legal issues. She suffered more than once because of her workaholism, but it was her husband who convinced her that she needed to take care of her health and forget about work for a while.
There are often rumors on social networks about Letuchaya’s pregnancy, but she constantly denies them. Being closely occupied with her career, the presenter did not think about children, and when she was asked about future heirs, she invariably answered that she would give birth to the person whom she loved with all her soul. The blond beauty did not want her child to appear in an incomplete family, so she patiently waited for her prince. Having met Yuri, she realized that only this man could become the father of her children. Elena does not know when this important event will happen in her personal life, but she and her husband are already ready to take on the role of parents.
Harmonious relationship with husband
For a long time, Letuchaya did not strive to start a family, since all her strength was devoted to building a career. But this does not mean that she forgot about her personal life, in which she had dates with men, meetings with friends, as well as hobbies in equestrian sports and other interesting activities. The blond beauty always took care of her figure, thanks to which, with a height of 178 cm, her weight was only 60 kg. When a major leap took place in the TV presenter’s career, she also met businessman Yuri Anashenkov. The new lover had relationships in the past, and now he has two sons growing up. When Elena started dating Yuri, he was already single. A year and a half later, the lovers celebrated their engagement, and in the summer of 2020 their wedding took place, which took place on the Greek island of Santorini.

Together with her husband, she opened her own online project, “The Flying Store,” where you can purchase various souvenirs and gifts. Spouses are interested in spending time together, so they often go shopping together, travel the world, go surfing, without getting tired of each other’s company. Letuchaya hopes that two children will soon appear in their family, but for now she enjoys communicating with her husband’s sons.
Beauty secrets
The TV journalist can boast of her slender figure and excellent appearance (height – 178 cm, weight – 60 kg). To maintain her parameters, she does not go on a diet, but prefers to eat healthy.

Meat is on her table once a month, but she chooses only lean fish. Letuchaya, like many women, loves sweets, but at the same time prefers dark chocolate. If the presenter had to eat too much, then she starts running up the stairs in high heels.
Being an active person, she has mastered some sports. A few years ago, the broadcast star became interested in surfing and started skiing. She will enjoy rollerblading and horseback riding. If she manages to find free time, Elena attends yoga classes, which help her recover. But the most important thing for the presenter is good sleep, since due to her work schedule she often sleeps less than eight hours.

Photo by Elena Letuchaya before and after plastic surgery
Like any other famous figure, Elena has been repeatedly “accused” of undergoing plastic surgery.
But Letuchaya herself categorically denies this, because she does not even use the services of stylists, completely relying on her own taste. Consequently, she is unlikely to trust the surgeon with her face, since she does not even trust the specialists with her clothes and her own image. Of course, no one can say for sure, even journalists were unable to unearth anything with precision, but Elena looks great. Maybe she really doesn’t need to see doctors for this, but just take care of herself on her own. Photos of Elena Letuchaya before and after plastic surgery may be on the Internet, but it is not a fact that they are genuine.
Last news

FLYING Elena Alexandrovna
Elena Letuchaya is a popular television presenter and economist. She became known to the general public only after the TV show “Revizirro”, which was broadcast on the “Friday” channel.
The blonde has become a threat to Russian hotel chains and catering establishments. It is not surprising that the biography of a celebrity is of great interest to fans of the program.
The childhood and teenage years of Elena Letuchaya
The future television star was born on December 5, 1978. Her parents, Lyudmila Aleksandrovna and Alexander Nikolaevich, are civil engineers by profession. When Elena was only about seven years old, her family decided to move to the city of Tynda, which is located in the Amur region. There they planned to start building the BAM. Since childhood, the girl has been involved in figure skating and attended art school. It is also known that she always differed from her peers in her restless and inquisitive character.
After receiving her certificate, Elena Letuchaya entered Blagoveshchensk College, which she later graduated with a degree in financier. After completing her studies, the girl got a job at Gazprom, and later at Russian Railways, where she coped well with her duties. In 2005, she received a full higher education at the Russian Technical University with a degree in economics.
Journalism
In 2007, before her 29th birthday, the purposeful girl decided to take a rather sharp turn in her own destiny. Letuchaya decided that her calling was journalism, so she went to study at the School of Television. At the same time, she already appeared on the “Capital” television channel. Her first work as a television journalist was a program about donors, which revealed all the vulnerabilities of Russian medicine.
After some time, Flying Helen began her work on cable television. For some time she worked at, which creates television content. Elena became the editor of Channel One in 2011. Then she was involved in two programs: “Let them talk” and “Tonight”, the host of which was then Andrei Malakhov. In 2012, Elena Letuchaya worked with programs on MTV, and later began producing documentary projects. By the way, she worked with a documentary about the TV series “Kitchen” and “Kitchen in Paris.”
The television program “The Inspector” created in Ukraine about the quality of service in hotels and restaurants is unique; there are no analogues in the world. In 2014, the Friday television channel did something similar, acquiring a TV show format and changing its name to Revizorro.
Initially, they planned to invite Olga Freimut, who worked with the Ukrainian version of the project, as a host for the “Revizorro” program, but later Flying Elena was approved for her role. The celebrity easily managed to copy the image and style of her colleague from Ukraine.
Among the first establishments that Letuchaya checked were a restaurant in Kislovodsk, a cafe in Stavropol, a market in Rostov-on-Don and a water park in Yekaterinburg.
As you know, not all establishments where the presenter appeared were happy to check Letuchaya. However, Elena rightly believed that she was working for the benefit of Russian citizens, as well as its guests, helping to improve the quality of services. In case of conflicts during filming, the presenter never lost her composure and dignity. The journalist taught her audience how to properly respond to bad service and how to defend their rights.
The Flying program received a huge response in Russian society, and therefore showed fairly high ratings. In January 2016, the Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting of the capital invited the presenter to a teaching position.
Already in the spring of the same year, it became known that the television presenter intended to leave the project. Fans immediately began to come up with all sorts of reasons for her departure - from conflicts with the manager to the pregnancy of the Flying One herself. However, later the star decided to give an interview in which she said that she was forced to leave the show because she decided to become a producer.
In addition, a new project was launched on television at that time, which was called “Slim,” where Flying Elena was in the leading role. There were also rumors that the celebrity’s husband also played an important role in this decision, fearing for the health and life of his beloved, because unpleasant incidents often occurred during filming. Olga Romanovskaya became the new host of the project.
All these changes caused a terrible storm of indignation among admirers of the program. Fans even organized a protest, spreading the hashtag “Bring Back Flying Elena” online. All this, naturally, affected the program's ratings. And the audience insisted that Romanovskaya could not cope with her responsibilities. All these events gave rise to rumors that Letuchaya was returning to the show.
The rumors were also supported by the fact that in the summer of 2020, Elena was awarded TEFI statuettes for the program “Revizorro”. Fans sincerely believed that the awards would convince Letuchaya to return to the show.
And so it happened, in the fall of the same year it became known that the new season of the show Flying would be hosted by herself. The presenter did not at all hide from the public her joy at returning to the project. And the creators of the show themselves tried to bring the celebrity back as a presenter on the show. In honor of her triumphant return to the show, Elena, at the request of her fans, opened a branded store, which she called “The Flying Store.”
On October 27, 2020, Letuchaya tried herself as a dubbing actress. The television presenter lent her voice to the girl Jane, who was voiced by Lying Stiles. Also in 2020, the celebrity starred in a movie. She appeared in the project “Friday”. In the same year, she became the face of the Eldorado store.
Personal life of Elena Letuchaya
The personal life of Elena Letuchaya is being discussed in the press after the woman appeared in public with a Russian businessman who works as a lawyer. Then there were rumors that the presenter allegedly took the man away from the family in which two heirs were growing up. However, Elena herself said that at the time of the start of their romantic relationship, her chosen one’s family had already broken up. The couple's romance lasted about two years, and continued in the registry office.
In February 2020, the celebrity officially announced her official engagement. In August of the same year, Letuchaya married her chosen one. The wedding took place on the Greek island of Santorini. Only the couple's relatives and their close friends were invited to the celebration.
For a long time, the star believed that she was completely unprepared for official marriage. In her youth, the journalist actively built a career and traveled a lot. When asked about heirs, Elena Letuchaya always answers that she takes this step very seriously and responsibly. Fans have repeatedly advised the celebrity to give birth to a baby for herself, but Letuchaya always repeated that she did not intend to become a single mother and wanted her baby to grow up in a full-fledged family.
After Flying Elena stopped hiding her relationship with her lover, she said that she had found her prince on a white horse, from whom she was not even afraid to give birth to children, the press immediately began to be replenished with photographs of the allegedly pregnant Flying Elena.
Journalists initially believed that Letuchaya agreed to the marriage only because she was in an interesting position. The presenter herself sharply denied such rumors and reproached her colleagues for speculating on sacred things - children and family.
In parallel with the wedding celebration, the couple were actively preparing their personal family nest. The TV presenter purchased a beautiful mansion in the village, which is located on Novorizhskoye Highway, and also paid for designer renovation work. The celebrity's house is designed in a minimalist style with contrasting finishes. The star claims that in her home she tries to adhere to the same level of cleanliness that she requires in the television program “Revizirro”.
Elena Letuchaya is a very versatile person, she even has many hobbies. Among my favorites are horse riding and yoga. Lena regularly visits the gym to keep her body in shape.
After the wedding celebration, Flying Elena still appears in public in open dresses and publishes provocative photographs on social networks. For example, on her account you can find photographs in which she is depicted in underwear, a swimsuit, or with bare legs. She often publishes pictures in which she appears completely without makeup.
In February 2020, the presenter amazed her fans. Letuchaya admitted that she resorted to the services of a plastic surgeon and had plastic surgery. Rumors appeared on the Internet that she had undergone plastic surgery, and collections of photographs of the presenter appeared with titles such as “Plastic surgery, before and after.” Then most of the fans refused to believe that the star agreed to such a step and tried in every possible way to resist the journalists who doused their favorite with such rumors.
After this, Elena Letuchaya decided to make a frank confession. On social networks, she announced that she actually had the operation. She decided to confess only because she did not want to deceive her fans, and also in order to thank the specialist who performed the plastic surgery. The star then even shared the specialist’s contacts with fans. Some fans appreciated the star’s honesty, while others criticized her for taking this step.
Elena Letuchaya currently
In the summer of 2020, the film project “Cars 3” was released on television screens, in which Elena Letuchaya voiced the main character. The woman also became the face of the Faberlic cosmetics brand and appeared on the title page of the “Friday” advertisement.
During the same period, the presenter was again nominated for the TEFI award.
Later, the premiere of the television program “School of Revizorro” took place, in which a new face of the project was chosen from all the participants. She also hosted the “Flying Squad” program for about a month, which was created as a documentary audit. The program was dedicated to inspections in social institutions of the country. In January 2020, the project was forced to be suspended due to the fact that the presenter had health problems. The journalist was diagnosed with angina pectoris.
At the same time, Elena Letuchaya could not sit idle and took up a design project, presenting a collection that was developed together with the famous fashion designer Olga Yakubovich.
In 2020, in September, on Channel One, fans of the presenter were able to watch her in the documentary “Elena Letuchaya. No rubbish in my head."
