At one time, thanks to them, we learned the latest events in the world, new items in music and just had a pleasant time in their company. More than 20 years have passed since then. How much and how quickly, isn't it? What happened to them, the television stars of the 90s - how their life was arranged, what they are doing now, and we will tell many more interesting facts about these celebrities in our today's article.

Tatiana Mitkova

The most stylish TV presenter of the NTV channel - it turns out, comes from the nobility, and spent her childhood in Switzerland (her mother was an employee of the embassy). Since 1990, she worked as the leading television news service of the Central Television of the USSR. After refusing to read the official version of events in Vilnius in 1991, she was dismissed. The changes that followed the August coup of the State Emergency Committee allowed Tatyana Mitkova to return to journalism - she became the presenter of the daytime news of the Ostankino television company, and later switched to the newly created NTV and conducted the first edition of the Segodnya program, remaining its host for 11 years.

With the change of the owner of the television company, the successful presenter and already the editor-in-chief of the Information Service moves up the career ladder and becomes the deputy general director of NTV for information broadcasting. Now Tatiana has left a high post, supervising only the news sector. Her hobbies include music, skiing and fast driving.

Ivan Demidov

Many adored this trendy and "cool dude", and the girls were dying to see his face without black glasses. He managed to build a stunning career - from an employee of the lighting department of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Center to the Chairman of the Presidium of the Foundation for the Development of Contemporary Art and a member of the Academy of Russian Television. A successful manager, for a long time he was the author and presenter of the MuzOboz program, and under his leadership, the original programs “Sharks of the Feather”, “Party Zone”, “I Myself”, “Disasters of the Week” and other.

He was also the director of the cult program "Vzglyad" and one of the founders of the VID television company. Did you know that Ivan Demidov is an “active Orthodox person” - as he said in an interview, and was baptized at the age of 33. For several years he hosted Orthodox programs, and in 2005 he founded the Orthodox channel "Spas". Politics is also part of the interests of this versatile man. In the same 2005, he became an active figure in United Russia, and in 2008 he was appointed head of the ideological department of the political department of the United Russia party. But that is not all! Ivan Ivanovich (now he is called so) is also worried about the problems of the ecological and cultural life of urban residents. For some time he headed the Directorate of the Rossiya Park, and since 2019 he has been the Head of Zaryadye Park.

Igor Ugolnikov

This showman from the 90s also went well in his career. Moreover, not so much thanks to the ability to appear at the right time in the right place, but as a result of talent, erudition and hard work. In addition to the directing department of GITIS, young Ugolnikov in the early nineties specifically left for the United States for three months to study Broadway productions, television filming and attend the steppe school of Gregory Hines, and in his free time, due to lack of money, he had to work as a dishwasher.

Upon his return to Russia, Igor became the author and producer of the popular programs "OBA-NA" and "Good evening with Igor Ugolnikov". This was followed by leadership positions in the field of television. However, he is also a popular actor. He starred in many films, played in the theater, was a director, producer and screenwriter not only for television programs and shows, but also for a whole list of feature films and documentaries. At present, he successfully combines the positions of director of the Moscow Academic Theater of Satire, chairman of the board of directors of the international television channel "TVBRIX" and the presidency of the Moscow State Budgetary Educational Institution of the city of Moschino.

Alexey Lysenkov

Remember the famous track “I always take my camcorder with me”? Alexey Lysenkov can only compete with Yakubovich for the title of permanent presenter - he headed his program “The Director Himself” (author, host and leader) for 27 years! And from this year he moved to the position of the host of the "Russian Lotto" and the radio program "That's it! Surprised!" on the "Children's Radio". But this is not a complete list of his creative works - Alexei Lysenkov starred in films, worked on the radio and was the host of many programs on various channels, ranging from children's ("What IZObrazie" - Bibigon channel), educational ("Dialogues about Fishing" - 7TV; "Russian estate" - TNT, "AIDS. Ambulance" - TNT, REN TV) and ending with acutely social ("Today. The day begins" - Channel One, special correspondent; "This morning" - Zvezda channel). So it is quite possible to say about this man that he is a master of his craft and one of the favorite showmen of our era.

Leonid Parfenov

One of the smartest and most talented journalists of both the past and the present century, Leonid began his career when he received a diploma of a junior correspondent from Pionerskaya Pravda in 1973. He was always attracted by the most topical topics, and the programs "The other day", "The other day. Our era "and" Portrait in the background "have become his trademark. Somehow it so happened that from time to time Leonid entered into confrontation with the authorities, then with fellow journalists, and as a result, many of his successful programs with scandals were closed. Now, in order to be independent in his judgments, Leonid has organized his own Internet channel on YouTube "Parthenon", where he not only expresses his thoughts about what is happening in the country and the world, but also uploads new and already completed projects. For his contribution to achievements in the field of television art, he was awarded the prestigious TEFI prize five times. Also, the journalist's hand owns a number of books about the history of our country, which received high marks.

Yuliana Shakhova

The beautiful brunette from the Vremechko and Segodnyachko programs continues to be a spectacular woman even today. In addition to journalism, her interests include music, poetry, and acting. However, at present, she has ceased to appear on TV screens, devoting herself entirely to teaching. She is a teacher at MITRO, the Ostankino television school, where she teaches students the skills of a TV presenter.

Natalia Daryalova

A spectacular girl in the 90s hosted the program "On everyone's lips." And then, together with her father, she organized and managed the Daryal-TV channel. However, life overseas seemed more attractive, and after the sale in 1999 of 75% of the channel's shares for $ 7 million, the family was able to settle in the United States on a permanent basis.

Julia Bordovskikh

The blonde was not at all "blonde" mental data in the 90s caused direct associations with the NTV channel. The former basketball player hosted the sports part of the Today program, and then switched to the NTV-Plus channel. After changes in the ownership structure, together with a group of dissenting journalists, she changed her job at TV-6, where she also covered sports news. In the future, Julia participated in several more programs, until in 2010 she completely left television.

However, her subsequent life was in one way or another connected with sports and a healthy lifestyle: she headed the print edition of Bosco Sport, was the director of development of a medical clinic, and now she is engaged in the production and promotion of innovative vitamins. Since mid-2017, she has been living in the United States with her children.
