To appear in front of the cameras, Sorokina chose a blue coat and red pumps, and the girl chose a white quilted jacket, a plaid skirt and black ballet shoes. A red shoulder bag completed the look. It is noteworthy that Antonina wears glasses.
Sorokina never hid from the public that she adopted a girl. This happened in the summer of 2003. Soon after the significant event, Svetlana gave her first interview about her daughter. " Given my profession and fame, there is no way to hide the fact of adoption. I’m raising her, raising her, but when she grows up, let her decide what she should do, right, Tonka?

The TV presenter said that she had been preparing for such a serious step for a long time, but the process itself from the start of the search to the final result took two months.
Sorokina emphasized that she herself gave her daughter this rare name. “On one of my visits, a pretty little girl reached out to me. I took her in my arms and that’s it! I really like the name Tonechka. My grandmother was Antonina. Antonova Antonina Ivanovna. So now we have Tonya Sorokina Antonina Mikhailovna. She really is Sorokina - she loves everything shiny", she said. Svetlana literally beamed with joy: " I’ll tell you straight: my life began anew., with the letter A - the initial letter of the name Antonin."
TV presenter Svetlana Innokentievna Sorokina, her biography on Wikipedia, personal life, photos on Instagram where she works (2016 and now 2017) are of interest to many TV viewers.
For young journalists, this woman is the standard of honesty and high professionalism in journalism, and among the many awards she has, she values the people's calling most of all.
Svetlana was born in 1957 in the city of Pushkin (Leningrad region). After graduating from school with a gold medal, she entered the Leningrad Forestry Academy at the Faculty of Landscape Architecture, and, having received a diploma in 1979, began working as a landscaping engineer.
In 1985, unexpectedly for everyone, the girl entered the announcer courses that were opened at Leningrad television, and already in 1986 she became a freelance employee of the evening review “Telecourier”.
In 1987, she was added to the staff of Leningrad Television and for three years she worked as the host of the “600 Seconds” program. Working in this program, Svetlana not only passes real school journalistic skill, but also develops his own style of presentation.
In 1990, she was invited to work in Moscow. Here she first undergoes an internship at Channel One, and then she is entrusted with hosting one of the important programs - “Vesti”. Moreover, she not only hosts this program, masterfully holding the attention of the audience, but also takes an active part in its development.
For the next seven years, Svetlana worked as a presenter and political commentator, and during this period she received several awards, including the Order for Personal Courage and the TEFI Award.
In 1997, the journalist moved to the NTV channel, where she became the author and presenter of such programs as “Voice of the People” and “Hero of the Day,” which instantly earned high ratings.
Since this time, Sorokina has also shown herself as a documentary director. Over the next nine years, several of her films were released, which lifted the veil of secrecy over the lives of some government officials. The film “Yeltsin’s Heart” talks about how he underwent heart surgery, the documentary “Pure Russian Murder” reveals the motives for which Galina Starovoitova was killed, and the film “The First First Lady” talks about the life of Raisa Gorbacheva.
On the one hand, the release of these and other documentaries contributed to the fact that the journalist received several more awards, but on the other hand, the criticism of the authorities that she allowed herself did not go unnoticed, and when she began hosting the author’s program “Basic Instinct” in 2003 ", the project was soon closed.
In 2005, Sorokina left television and began working at the Ekho Moskvy radio station. Here she becomes the host of the program “In the Circle of Light,” but when the television version of this program appears, only 4 episodes are aired, since they also contain criticism of the authorities, and in particular the judicial system.
In 2009, Sorokina was appointed a member of the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation, but after working in this position for 2 years, she left it, thereby protesting the falsification of elections to the State Duma.
However, even now the journalist does not give up her job. professional activity. Since 2016, she has hosted the talk show “VechernyayaHillary”, and in addition, she has been teaching - at the Moscow Higher School of Economics she gives lectures to students of the Faculty of Media Communications.
The journalist belongs to that category of people who, in the full sense of the word, “burn out at work,” so she has no time left for her personal life. True, Svetlana Innokentyevna had two marriages behind her, and it was the surname of her first husband that she kept for herself, since her maiden name was Sarykova, but these marriages did not last long.
But the real joy and meaning of life for her is her adopted daughter Antonina, whom she took as a baby from an orphanage. Despite the fact that this was not particularly advertised, it was not possible to hide the fact of adoption, and it did not make sense. Not long ago, Svetlana Sorokina and her adopted daughter Tonya Sorokina went out together, and the journalist introduced the now-adolescent girl to metropolitan celebrities.

Sorokina is a native Leningrader and most of her life was spent in this city. She graduated from school with a gold medal.
Afterwards she entered the Forestry Academy, after graduating from which she became a forestry engineer. Her profession - landscape architecture - is deciphered very simply: specialists in this profile are usually engaged in landscaping cities.
But Sorokina decided to continue her education - she studied in graduate school and worked as a tour guide in her free time.
Later, the main cycle of her life began - television, which began when, at the invitation of A. Nevzorov, Sorokina came to work on the Leningrad television program “600 Seconds”. This was a very decisive step. Having no special education, and virtually no knowledge of television, Sorokina began working in a program that was distinguished by a unique approach to the selection and presentation of news. Very often they were limited to the darkest sides of life - murders, robberies, violence. And yet, this program became a good professional school for Sorokina, just like work in another Leningrad television program - “Telecourier”.
Having acquired the necessary professional skills, Sorokina moved to Moscow and began working as the presenter of the Russian television news program “Vesti”. She was at the very origins of this program, together with everyone else she looked for the most suitable name for the program, created its model, and over time she herself became the face of the program. IN last years Sorokina worked as a political observer for Vesti.
This was a different level of journalistic activity and a different status. For the sake of such an opportunity, I even had to sacrifice amenities: at first, Sorokina lived in a hotel, worked a lot, and only recently acquired a small apartment. The residents of the house are proud of their famous neighbor; Sorokina is also recognized in stores, which she takes for granted. She is accustomed to fame and considers it an indispensable component of her profession. Working on Russian television, Svetlana Sorokina became a real professional. She has become one of the most popular TV presenters, which is greatly facilitated by her creative approach to business.
In the Vesti program, she had to do the same work as all the other presenters: select stories proposed by correspondents, create news releases and offer them to television viewers. It would seem that this is the most ordinary job that every news program presenter does. And at the same time, each of them does it a little differently. With the exception of the most current official and political events, each presenter decides for himself what the main news is for that hour and how to tell about it.
A people's favorite, Sorokina not only enjoyed the sympathy of television viewers, but also earned the recognition of her colleagues on television. In 1995, at the festival of the Russian Television and Radio Company, Sorokina became first in the category “Best Presenter of Information Programs” and received a prize - a figurine of a horse, noting that this animal perfectly reflects the essence of her profession. Following this recognition, Sorokina’s professionalism was already awarded the highest television award - the TEFI Award.
Working on television, living according to a schedule, and the enormous responsibility for every word spoken on air changed Sorokina’s character to some extent: she became more nervous and tough. But this is her inner feeling - colleagues, on the contrary, note her even character and say that Svetlana is not capable of shouting or offending with a word. As a creative person, Sorokina respects people who think outside the box, but does not tolerate poor performance or lack of commitment. Work became her calling and the meaning of life.
In the fall of 1997, what TV viewers feared happened: on November 22, Svetlana Sorokina went on air for the last time on the Vesti program to say goodbye to her viewers.
The channel's management decided to radically change the program. The new concept, according to Sorokina, will not raise the program’s ratings, since now it will be even more official. And Sorokina for a long time defended her position as the author of presenting news, not wanting to turn into a newscaster. As the host of an information program, she adhered to the principle of objectivity of information. . The journalist’s position did not correspond in any way to the new concept of the program, and Svetlana was simply removed from the air.
During this difficult period for herself, Sorokina again felt the support of her fellow journalists and television viewers. S. Dorenko made a special report about this event for the program, E. Kiselev regarded Sorokina’s departure from Vesti as the news of the week. He invited his friend and colleague to the nightly edition of the program and, on behalf of NTV management, offered her a job at his television company. Newspapers also wrote about Sorokina’s departure from Vesti, and she spoke on the radio.
Sorokina did not hide the fact that the head of RTR, N. Svanidze, suggested that she create and host any other program on RTR or on the “Culture” channel. But she refused, explaining her refusal by her unwillingness to “accept their terms of the game.” Having appeared on all the main television channels of the country as a guest, and not as a presenter, Sorokina did not change her principles this time. She only talked about work, avoiding talking about her personal life. Thus, persistent requests from TV viewers to tell us about themselves once again remained unanswered.
She, having become a permanent presenter of the “Hero of the Day” program on NTV, proved that she was going to continue her television career and was not thinking of getting involved in politics. “I’m a sensible person,” says Sorokina. “Everyone should feel their threshold of competence and do what they know how to do.”
Svetlana considers herself a conservative woman: she does not do trendy haircuts, rarely changes anything about herself and her appearance, and prefers clothes classic style, "although he likes to wear bright and gentle colors- pink, white, red. He considers T. Fedorova to be his main fashion designer, but in extreme cases he can buy a ready-made suit from Versace, Lagerfeld or Sonia Rickel.
He prefers to spend his holidays in solitude, with only sun and sea, good food and good wine and, of course, books and conversations.
For Sorokina, the house is her refuge, in which she likes to put things in order. She lives in it with her husband, a television cameraman, and her beloved cat. The main serving item in the kitchen is unbreakable dishes, so that there is no temptation to run out of charge after the broadcast. Classic way To relieve stress, Sorokina replaced it with a cold shower, followed by a little exercise and five to ten minutes of exercise with a jump rope. She also has another secret for staying in shape - training on exercise machines and the obligatory massage after them with various aromatic oils. In addition, twice a week Svetlana plays tennis and swims in the pool, since the gym is located not far from her home.
But all these means are useful only for maintaining physical fitness, but its source is peace of mind communication with people has always been and remains optimistic. According to Sorokina, this is precisely the peculiarity of the Russian mentality and main secret her vigor and strength.

My favorite TV and radio presenter Svetlana Sorokina has a middle name - Innokentievna. But not Viktorovna, as it is in the material published on the site. Best regards, J.
Another loss

Squeezing such decent people and professionals as Svetlana Sorokina out of TV is a double, triple fault and misfortune for TV executives. As a result, we have the disgrace on TV that we have.
About the Russian program.

Her fame is not so important to me. I always pay attention to the qualities of a person, to his essence. What I value most in a person is honesty, fairness, sincerity and naturalness. All this, and all that I respect in a person, is in Svetlana Innokentyevna Sorokina. Svetlana is a sincere, very kind-hearted person. She always smiles with a natural smile. And her laughter evokes many positive emotions. I have been watching her work on television for a long time and I want to say that she is a very talented and intelligent person. And, of course, I admire her professionalism and manner of always telling the truth. My first impressions of this man, formed back in 1991, did not deceive me. Moreover, the more I learn about it, the more interesting it becomes for me. It’s clear why millions of TV viewers, including me, respect and love her so much. She deserves it. I don’t want to speak for others, although I am sure that those who had the opportunity to see and hear her at least once, even if only on television screens, will agree with me, just like me. But personally, I am proud that in Russia there are people, hearts which are filled with such immeasurable and very beautiful wealth...
