Bashkir Stars: Prettier, Older, Divorced Since 2016

Social media has been flooded with the trend «show how you looked in 2016.» It«s all due to people»s desire to roll back to the «best years,» which, according to the vast majority, are 2016 and 2017. We invite you to also take a look at the younger versions of stars, bloggers, and actors who were born in Bashkortostan or have some connection to it.

Let«s start with the guy who grew up before the eyes of the Bashkir and Tatar public — Radik Yulyakshin. In 2016, he was 27 years old and had already spent half his life on stage. Look, he was in his third decade here, yet his childish facial features still hadn»t faded. Or perhaps the singer has that baby face:

Next up is the blogger who inspires his followers with his strength of spirit — Rustam Nabiev. In 2016, he was 24 years old, a year had passed since the tragedy that resulted in him losing both legs. At that time, he was recovering and searching for a new meaning in life. By the way, we wrote more about his fate in this article.

Continuing our hit parade, this time the heavy artillery — Rinat Rakhmatullin. The very singer who recently made headlines due to his marriage to a girl who is 29 years younger than him. The same age as his daughters! For his young wife, he even had surgery to look better — we already wrote about this. Are you also curious about how he looked when he was 10 years younger? Take a look for yourself! As if he hasn«t changed since then.

Singer Alsou is a controversial figure in this selection due to endless debates about whether she belongs to Bashkortostan or not, because she was born in Tatarstan. But still, her childhood was spent in our republic, and in her repertoire there are songs in the Bashkir language. Moreover, Alsou«s father, Ralif Safin, is of Bashkir origin. The singer»s father, by the way, comes from a family of ordinary farmers but built a business empire and almost became the head of our region in his time. We wrote more about this complicated family here. And now let«s look at the girl in 2016, at 33 she had already established herself as a mom and another baby was on the way:

Next on our list is the singer who recently packed almost the entire «Ufa Arena» at his concert — Rishat Tukhvatullin. In 2016, he was 27 years old, his arsenal already included hits, and he was touring the districts of the republic. Take a look, how handsome:

Let«s add some Zoomers to our feature, whose 2016 photos have survived to this day. There are few of them not because they had barely been born at that time. It»s because Zoomers tend to delete their entire digital footprint every six months to start life with a clean slate.

So, Dilara is a blogger, businesswoman, and former wife of the well-known Morgenshtern*. The girl in these photos is barely 16 years old:

There are actually quite a few modern bloggers who hail from Bashkortostan. We collected them in one selection. And how could we do without our athletes? Each of them is a legend in hockey, F1, and other highly competitive fields.

* Morgenshtern (recognized in Russia as a foreign agent media in 2022).
