Kseniya Novikova

Kseniya Novikova, born May 17, 1980, in Moscow, Russia, is a Russian glamour model and former singer of the girl group Blestyashchie (The Brilliants). She joined the group in 1999, replacing Polina Iodis, and contributed lyrics to their hit single "A ya vse letala" (And I was still flying) released in 2002. Her film career began in 2004 with an uncredited cameo in the Russian blockbuster Night Watch. Kseniya's first name is often shortened to Ksyusha, a common diminutive in Russian. While her birthday is sometimes reported as May 19, most sources, including the official Blestyashchie website, confirm May 17.

At age five, Kseniya started singing in the youth group Klass. She enjoys swimming, yoga, and roller-skating, and is said to prepare excellent Italian dishes, even thinking of opening her own restaurant someday. A 2008 hidden-camera video from a club dressing room revealed a side of her that contrasts with her tender on-screen presence, showing profanity and obscenity.

Standing 5'8" with blonde hair and green eyes, Kseniya has a slim build and natural C-cup breasts. She is Russian, of Caucasian ethnicity. As of June 2026, her Instagram follower count was 194k. Now 46 years old, she remains a recognizable figure in Russian pop culture.
