Ex-presenter Elena Letuchaya and her husband Yuri Anashenkov, engaged in collection activities, left Russia (*aggressor country) having received an American long-term visa. The couple has a special relationship to the events in Ukraine. How does the couple live and what do they leave behind in their homeland?
How long will Elena Letuchaya and her husband gather in the USA?
Her subscribers are divided: some support Flying, others condemn her. The star answers both:
Meanwhile, as Life found out, both the ex-presenter and her husband both posted “No to War” posts on the day the SVO began. Perhaps this was the reason for obtaining a long-term visa to the USA.
What is Elena Letuchaya famous for?
Elena Letuchaya’s finest hour came from 2014–2017, when she produced and hosted the popular program “Revizorro”. Who doesn’t remember the spectacular blonde inspecting the country’s restaurants. But before that, her television career developed neither shaky nor slow.
44-year-old Letuchaya (this is her real name) was born in Yaroslavl, and grew up in the Amur town of Tynda, where her engineer parents were sent. In her youth she showed promise as a financier. After graduating from the Blagoveshchensk Economic College and the Russian Open Academy of Transport (in absentia), she worked in her specialty for ten years. Moreover, in prestigious companies, for example, Gazprom Gazenergoseti. But then she changed her occupation. Allegedly because she didn’t like dealing with finances—it made her sad.
In 2008–2010, the girl studied at the Ostankino Television School. Afterwards, she edited and made stories for the Stolitsa channel, produced the talk shows Let Them Talk and Tonight, and worked on cable. The breakthrough happened the year she met lawyer Yuri Anashenkov, who at that time was raising his son in a civil marriage with art critic Hasmik Vaye Reitor. According to secular mass media, The flying woman took the man away from the family. Former Anashenkova confirms this version.
After “Revizorro” Elena Letuchaya’s fame began to fade. Her next television projects were not successful. Now she has a YouTube channel “Flying Supervision”, not to say that it is popular. Most of the latest videos have not even crossed the ten thousand views mark. The plots are strange for them: “Old age in a nursing home – betrayal or salvation” or “What is menopause.”
In the “Covid” year, Elena Letuchaya made another attempt to return to the TV Olympus. She became the host of the show “Children are Ancestors,” which lasted only 22 episodes. Then Letuchaya tried herself in politics and was involved in social activities. Now, judging by her social networks, she simply enjoys life and endlessly travels around the world with her husband. The couple has no children together.
Who is Yuri Anashenkov, husband of Letuchaya
The general public knows nothing about Yuri Anashenkov. Before Flying, he had two wives and a son from each. He is a graduate of the Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Judging by the SPARK database, he was the managing partner of the offices of JSC “Verdict” and “Legal Center “Verdict”, which were closed by fiscal authorities due to an inaccurately indicated legal address. After the start of the SVO, Yuriy Anashenkov left the founders of JSC “Russian Collector” – officially this company brings almost no profit.
Anashenkov still owns personal site, where he offers services such as: “support of enforcement proceedings”, “preparation of debt collection tactics”, “debt collection”, “assistance in credit disputes”, “support of tax audits and appealing decisions of tax authorities”, “defense during audits, carried out by law enforcement agencies and other supervisory authorities.” It’s not clear how all this is managed. Anashenkov has no IP.
For some reason, Yuri Anashenkov hides his wealth. His mansion is registered in the name of his mother, the Lexus SUV that is in his garage is in the name of a friend. Once such a precaution had already played into his hands.
What Letuchaya and Anashenkov have in Russia (*aggressor country)
Elena Letuchaya is still registered in her parents’ apartment in Yaroslavl. We are talking about a modest two-room apartment worth about 5 million rubles. Yuri Anashenkov is registered on the outskirts of Moscow in a panel three-ruble rent – the cost is no more than 15 million rubles. But in fact, all the last time the couple occupied a four-room mansion in a restored pre-revolutionary mansion on Bolshaya Ordynka Street – this is the historical center of the capital, a stone’s throw from the Moscow River, a stone’s throw from Bolotnaya Square and the Tretyakov Gallery. Such real estate will cost 75 million rubles.
The couple spent a lot of time in a 350-square-meter mansion near Istra in the closed elite village of Chistye Prudy-2. The cost of households there reaches 100 million rubles. This property was once discussed on a TV show. Anashenkov’s former common-law wife, the already mentioned Hasmik Vaye Reitor, spoke there as an invited guest.
According to her, she continued to pay off her debts for several years after the breakup, when Letuchaya had been living in this mansion for a long time. And Hasmik Vaye claims that only through the court was she able to extract alimony from her ex – only 13 thousand rubles, because Anashenkov officially earned very little.
Anashenkov and Letuchaya love to relax in Karelia. There, the TV presenter’s husband has a boat called “White Dog”. This is probably a Parker 800 Weekend.
The couple Letuchaya and Anashenkov still have a joint business in their homeland – the company Letuchaya and Co., which publishes books for children of primary school age. The profit on paper is cheap, less than a million rubles a year.
Letuchaya personally also owns the 2020 Porsche Cayenne SUV, an individual entrepreneur in the production and sale of clothing, online store, as well as the La Vetrina boutique in Yaroslavl. It is unclear what will happen to the Elena Letuchaya Workshop at the Ostankino school. On university website her name course is still listed.
