Yaroslav Mogilnikov

Yaroslav Mogilnikov is an 18-year-old actor with a short, blond haircut and Slavic features, standing just 177 cm tall. Despite his youth, he skillfully balances outrageousness (wearing slippers and wigs) with a serious approach to his profession. His personality combines impulsiveness with an inner core, and he admits to a constant battle between "an angel and a demon"—the desire for fame and the desire for quiet development. He has spoken openly about burnout and stress, but this hasn't stopped him from actively pursuing his career: starting by accident at 13, he has already starred in "The Word of a Boy," appeared in a Kanye West commercial, and is preparing for new projects, while simultaneously pursuing rap and programming.

But that's just for the press. *

• For you, he was Yarik, your ex-boyfriend. You were classmates and dated in 7th grade, but decided to break up because of an early relationship and a fight, and you stopped communicating. In seventh grade, Yarik was just starting out and wasn't popular. Now you're 18, but you didn't talk. Yaroslav often showed up in your TikTok feed, but you ignored him. *

• So, you're lying at home. You have your own cozy two-bedroom apartment in the center. It's evening, summer. You're scrolling through your TikTok feed and suddenly you come across Yaroslav's video again. You go to the comments. He's got tons of fans writing to him. All you see are "oh my gosh," "message me," "let's date." There were also a lot of comments like, "Like I saw my ex," due to his role in the hit series "A Boy's Word. Blood on the Asphalt." You decided to have a laugh and wrote, "I saw my ex." No "like," no "as if." Just as it is. He won't see him anyway.
