Biography of Tatiana Pushkina
Tatiana Pushkina is a Russian television presenter known for her work on the program "Women's Stories" which she hosted for several years on the country's main television channel. She is skilled in conducting interviews and expertly paints a portrait-biography of her subjects on the canvas of the airwaves. In the early 2000s, she hosted the show "Night Guest" on the channel "Stolitsa," and in 2015-2016, she created her own program "Two Wives" on the television channel "Russia-1."
Childhood and Youth
Tatiana Vyacheslavovna Pushkina was born on August 25, 1964 in Moscow. Her parents, Vyacheslav Alexeevich and Irina Mikhailovna, were aviation engineers. The Pushkin family lived in a large communal apartment in Chistye Prudy. It was here, in the center of the capital, that Tatiana spent her childhood and youth. Journalists were immediately interested in her Moscow roots and wondered if there were any connections indicating a relationship with the famous Pushkin family. Tatiana modestly shook her head in response but affirmed that her surname was indeed her real name, not a pseudonym as many believed.
Tatiana attended a school with a focus on literature and participated in sports training at the Moscow swimming pool and vocal lessons in the Loktev Ensemble Choir at the Pioneers' Palace. When choosing her future profession, she followed in her parents' footsteps and enrolled in the Moscow Aviation Institute. It was here that she discovered her passion for the arts, participating in student theater productions and cultivating her skills as a writer. After obtaining her engineering degree, Tatiana found herself on maternity leave (her son Nikita was born during her final year at the Moscow Aviation Institute) and faced the challenge of returning to work without experience and with a young child.
Television
During this difficult time, one of the job offers she received was a technical position in the coordination department at "Ostankino." Pushkina was responsible for monitoring equipment conditions, camera allocation, and video cassette processing. Soon, she found herself in the youth editorial office, which was working on the creation of iconic programs such as "Vzglyad" and "12th Floor."
Tatiana considers Anatoly Malkin, a well-known television director and producer, her mentor and godfather in the television profession. It was at his urging that Tatiana conducted her first live television broadcast and became a media personality. The tumultuous 90s marked Tatiana's entry into the television profession. She hosted a number of programs on channels such as NTV+, AST: "Empire of Spectacles," "Music News BIZ-TV," "Russian Hour," and "General Cleaning." She then transitioned into producing, working as the art producer of the First Channel's musical projects "Old Songs About the Main Thing" and the producer of the talk show "National Interest" with Dmitry Kiselev.
In 1999, the management of the First Channel offered Tatiana a new project called "Women's Stories." The program had already been running for two years, hosted by another journalist with the same surname, Tatiana Okssana Pushkina. However, after a conflict with the channel's management, the journalist left the First Channel and initiated a similar project on NTV, calling it "Female Perspective." The copyright for "Women's Stories" remained with the First Channel, and they simply needed to find a new host. Tatiana became the perfect candidate.
The program was already popular, and the main expectation was that Tatiana would resemble the previous host. "They called me all sorts of things at that time: Dolly the sheep, the first human clone..." Tatiana recalled. People also tried to find a connection between the two presenters, but both Tatiana and Oksana denied any relation.
Tatiana Pushkina's "Women's Stories" aired successfully until 2001 and brought her true recognition. She became recognizable, and her photos appeared on the covers of newspapers and magazines. Even critics had to admit that the program had a fresh perspective. Pushkina focused on revealing the true character of her heroines rather than seeking sensational revelations.
After leaving the main channel, Tatiana moved to TV-6, where the format was changed to target a female audience. She hosted the daytime project "Day by Day" but not for long. Soon, she initiated the show "Night Guest" on the channel "Stolitsa," which she hosted until 2005.
"I am lucky: in the program 'Night Guest,' I have a unique opportunity to show what is in the minds of my interviewees and in my own," said the television diva about the project.
She later worked for the channel "Domashniy," which she balanced with her role as the vice-rector for educational work at the Moscow Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting "Ostankino" (MITRO). Tatiana completed this mission in 2014 and returned to television. From 2015-2016, she hosted the program "Two Wives" on the channel "Russia-1," where she shared stories about famous men's current and former spouses.
Tatiana Pushkina has also appeared as a participant on various TV shows. She was a guest star on the project "Dancing with the Stars" on the channel "Russia-1" in 2010 (partnered with Alexey Katushkov). In 2018, she participated in a weight loss program on the First Channel hosted by Elena Malysheva.
Personal Life
Tatiana has been married multiple times and does not keep her personal life hidden. Interviews periodically appear in the press where Tatiana Vyacheslavovna shares the ups and downs of her romantic journey.
Her first marriage occurred in her early youth. She married a man named Karl Yanovich, who took his wife's famous surname and became the father of her only son, Nikita. While working on television, fate brought her together with the well-known producer and media manager Alexander Lyubimov. Their marriage lasted for two years.
If there was no spark in her marriage with Lyubimov, as Tatiana herself admits, she entered her next union full of passion. She even decided to leave the country with her partner, music video director Georgiy Gavrilov, at the peak of her success. However, she couldn't settle abroad and returned alone. It was at that moment that she was offered the opportunity to host "Women's Stories."
Another marriage awaited the television presenter. This time, her chosen spouse was musician and drummer from the band "Neschastny Sluchay" (Unfortunate Accident), Pavel Cheremisin, who is eight years younger than Tatiana.
Today, Tatiana Pushkina is happily married. In 2012, she married Vladimir, a former athlete and security service employee.
Tatiana Pushkina Today

Her son Nikita did not follow in his mother's footsteps but chose economics and graduated from Moscow State University.
