Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I whanau ia i Slantsy, Leningrad Oblast. I wini ia i te mētara koura i te 2001 World Youth Championships, i mutu i te tekau ma wha i te 2002 World Junior Championships, a ko ia te kaihauturu ki a Jaroslav Bába i te 2003 European Athletics Junior Championships. Ko tana wikitoria nui tuatahi hei kaitakaro matua i tae mai i te 2005 European Cup
He aha? I whakataetae ano ia i te 2007 European Indoor Championships, engari kaore i tae ki te whakamutunga. I tutuki i a ia te peke whaiaro pai rawa atu o te 2.33 mita i Thessaloniki i te Pipiri 2009. Ko tana 2.34 mita i runga i te ara o roto, i tutuki i te Hanuere 2005 i Glasgow.
