Yugra Stars: From Sunny Breaks to Eager Work Returns
The longest New Year holidays in recent years have finally ended. On this first workday, we suggest you not burden your mind with serious topics, but instead see how famous people connected to Yugra spent their festive days.
Kristina Cherkasova
Former participant of «Dom-2» (a Russian reality show) from Yugra and million-follower blogger Kristina Cherkasova is currently on maternity leave with her second son. The young mother admitted that this was the fastest New Year«s Eve of her life.
“I had a plan to put Miroslav down for three naps, with the third one being late, from around 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM, and then in a good mood sit down at the table, celebrate the holiday, and spend time with family until about two o«clock. But the little one had his own plans, my idea was a fiasco. He didn»t fall asleep! Until 11:30 PM, I was tormenting him, and he was tormenting me. Then I got ready super quickly, and the baby, as you can imagine, wasn«t in the mood, fussy, wouldn»t get off my hands. At 12:30 AM, we already went to bed,” Kristina said.
The Cherkasov family spent the New Year holidays quietly, in a family way. The Yugra resident shared that she started going to the gym again.
“To be honest, after the second pregnancy, it was hard to get motivated for the gym. I didn«t think that almost a year after giving birth, just the thought of exercise equipment would make me nauseous,” Kristina shared. “I started gradually – first with cardio in the summer, from October I went to »women«s health» – working on pelvic floor muscles. And now I«ve returned to strength training.”
Yevgenia Krivtsova
Participant of reality shows «Stars in the Jungle» and «Bet on Love» from Yugra, Yevgenia Krivtsova, celebrated New Year«s Eve and spent the holidays in Dubai. The family didn»t stay in a hotel but rented an apartment.
“I adore this vibe of life when you«re not in a hotel, but in an apartment, you go to the store, make breakfast, live the life of a city resident, not a tourist,” Yevgenia shared. “For me, it was a good, cool year, another big step forward taken, with lots of travels, awesome events. But, I feel that I want a reset, more self-care, attention to my condition, body, more peace.”
Yevgenia said that in Dubai, she truly rested and reset, made plans for 2026. She also met with friends, exercised, sunbathed, and took care of the children.
Stepan Kuzmenko
Blogger Aiza and her fiancé from Yugra, Stepan Kuzmenko, celebrated New Year«s Eve on the island of Bali, where they live permanently. They were joined by star bloggers Natasha Gasankhanova and Karina Nigay. The holiday was also celebrated with Stepan»s mother, whom Aiza already calls her mother-in-law.
“I truly believe that you don«t need to wait for the right moment (occasion, holiday, Monday, the 1st) to start going to the gym, keep a diary, take care of your body, learn to play the guitar, or finally exhale,” Stepan wrote on social media on the first day of 2026. “You don»t need a reason to gather with family. You don«t need a date to give gifts. You don»t need to wait for things to get easier to live. I really want to wish us all one simple, but rare state now: for every day to be worthy of a holiday.”
During the holidays, the couple led their usual lifestyle. Stepan and Aiza watched movies together, the guy went to the bathhouse, exercised, and attended a seminar on dreams.

This will probably be the most conscious, mature, and strong album, both musically and in terms of meaningful content,” he said. “And very soon, we will announce an incredible event for you. I can«t even believe we took this on. I advise you to set aside your money in advance. You simply can»t miss this!”
