Who does not know the Health program on Channel One? Each of us has seen it at least once, and we also know people whose mornings do not start without this program. Elena Malysheva has been the face of the program for many years. It was even rebranded and the program was called “Health with Elena Malysheva”, and today it is called “Life is healthy”.
In 1960, television about health appeared on the screens. The first episodes were moderated by a TV announcer, then journalist Alla Melik-Pashayeva, who was also the screenwriter and editor of the program, sat in the chair for seven years.
On February 23, 1969, Alla was replaced by a professional doctor with an education, Yulia Belyanchikova. She hosted the program for 20 years!
Julia shared important and useful information with the audience, relying on her own knowledge, and it was she who made the program very popular. So, for example, the number of letters to the editor from viewers has almost tripled – from 60 to 160 thousand per year. Elena Malysheva became the host and head of the program in 1997.
