Popular TV presenters from the 90s then and now (52 photos)

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 invite you to remember popular TV presenters from the 90s, and also find out how their future fates turned out.

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.

Then Sharapova moved to the “Good Morning” program, and after that she began to rarely appear on air.

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 the presenter, director, scriptwriter and general producer of the television game "What? Where? When?"

The audience hears only his voice. In the first time after the death of the creator and permanent presenter 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 of the Rossiya TV channel.

In August 2011, he left VGTRK, becoming a member of the Right Cause political party. In November of the same year, he left the party and headed the 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 led "Alarm Clock", "Good night, kids!" and “Visiting a Fairy Tale” (Aunt Tanya), the program “Morning”, “Song of the Year” and many other 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” is “The program 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 TV 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. She was a presenter on the La Minor television channel. 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.

Viktor Shenderovich came to television back in 1992. First there were “Dolls,” which shocked the public, then the author’s “information-parasitic” program “Total” appeared.

Shenderovich’s last program, 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 didn’t 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 the permanent host of the entertainment show “Girls” and the music competition “Artist” on the Russia-1 channel, the host of the TV game “Understand Me” on the “Carousel” channel, as well as the 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”; at various times, 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 “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.

Valery Komissarov. The program “My Family” dealt with the most pressing topics of family life: diverse characters willingly “washed dirty linen in public”, discussing their problems live on the 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 of the news programs “News” and “Time” on Channel One. In 2000-2004, he sometimes replaced his colleagues in the Vremya information program.

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"
