A nostalgic flash mob is gaining popularity on social media, where participants compare 2026 and 2016. Celebrities are publishing their photos from ten years ago, reminiscing about the past. Here is a selection of shots from Ural stars and popular bloggers.
Ilana Dyldina«s appearance has hardly changed over the decade.
Ilana Dyldina, an actress from the show «Ural Dumplings», shared photos from 2016. Her appearance has hardly changed over the time. Back then, her daughter Diana was just one year old.
She still looks beautiful.
The actress captioned the photo without false modesty: «I look awesome.»
Ilana«s colleague from »Ural Dumplings«, Ksenia Korneva, also posted archival footage.
In this shot, her daughter Diana is still just a baby.
Ksenia Korneva told her followers: «Everyone is posting photos from 10 years ago, I made little collages on the theme of 2016. I was amazed — it was full and bright, even though the photo quality isn»t great.«
Blogger Anastasia Gorbunova showed her followers her selected photos taken ten years ago.
Another famous blogger, Dina Saeva, looks completely different today. In her post, she thanked herself for her perseverance and continuous work on self-improvement.
2016 turned out to be very eventful for Ksenia Korneva.
This photo shows Dina Saeva«s current look.
Nina Savelieva, winner of the «Miss Yekaterinburg — 2010» contest, was expecting a child in 2016. It was then that she and her husband, hockey player Alexander Streltsov, first learned about the upcoming addition to the family.
Mini-dresses and high heels — trends of that time.
Nina Savelieva commented on one of the photos: «I»m already pregnant here, but I don«t know it yet.»
Elizaveta Anikhovskaya, another holder of the «Miss Yekaterinburg» title, won it in 2016. At that time, she was 18 years old, had moved from Asbest (a town in Russia) to Yekaterinburg, and was studying at an art college majoring in «Icon Restoration.»
Elizaveta Anikhovskaya recalled: «I didn»t have much money, and I was doing what I liked and brought a small additional income to my scholarship. I made jewelry by hand and sold it. Over a few years, I built up a large client base.«
At that time, Elizaveta doubted whether to participate in the «Miss Yekaterinburg» contest, but her relatives persuaded her to try.
Blogger Max Nikolaev is now 24 years old, and ten years ago he was still a teenager. It was in 2016 that he took his first steps towards future fame.
Dina Saeva expressed gratitude to her past self for perseverance.
Alina Lanina (real surname Kiziyarova), who played Eva in the series «SashaTanya», recalls 2016 as a period of bright events and happy moments.
For example, right at the airport before flying out to filming, her bag with documents was stolen, but then the actress bought her first car.
The photo was taken at Plotinka in Yekaterinburg.
Moreover, ten years ago, Alina Lanina attempted to move to Hollywood to advance her career.
Ekaterina Zolotovskaya, the common-law wife of singer Niletto, shared footage from 2016. The photos show filters characteristic of that time.
Many celebrities from Yekaterinburg extended their New Year holidays by heading to warm countries, while others stayed home to relax. It was previously reported how local stars spent their January vacation.
Modern Dina Saeva makes an unforgettable impression.
