Serious transformations: how Bledans, Barnabas and other comedy stars have changed over the years

Do you remember what they were?

Ekaterina Varnava rose to fame thanks to KVN, where she played for the teams Team of Small Nations and Own Secrets. The real fame came to her when she started acting in the Comedy Woman project, where she was given the role of a sex symbol. Even then, audiences began to notice dramatic changes in the star’s appearance. Barnabas did not hide the fact that she resorted to the help of plastic surgeons, noting that from her youth she had complexes because of her appearance. Indeed, as a teenager, she was quite chubby and her peers often made fun of her. Over the past few years, Katya also managed to lose a lot of weight – and in the network such weight loss was called too drastic. Barnabas tried not to react to the criticism, noting that she was happy to have achieved what she had always wanted.

Evelina Bledans rose to fame in the 1990s as a member of the comedy troupe Masks. The team had its own TV show, where Evelina played the role of a sexy nurse. At the same time, few people guessed that she had a serious dramatic education – she graduated from the theater department of LGITMiK, where her teacher was People’s Artist of the USSR Igor Vladimirov.

Although Blendans was a real sex symbol on the comedy series Mask Show, the actress had complexes about her appearance. For example, for a long time she was bothered by her plump lips. The star later admitted that she had breast plastic surgery, but she denies other interventions in her appearance.

Another KVN star is Svetlana Permyakova, who rose to fame in the Parma team. The image of a humorous donut glued to the artist. She also starred in the popular TV series Interns. The actress herself admitted that when he lost weight, they simply ceased to recognize her, and the acting charm was lost. But at one time Permyakova was still able to lose a few tens of kilograms. The transformation turned out to be spectacular, so that not even everyone believed that the matter was done without surgical interventions. However, Permyakova said there were no secrets.

“I am losing weight without drugs, without grueling workouts or starvation. It is important to force yourself to go towards the goal, to change your mode, attitude and lifestyle, and above all, to love yourself, to ‘to be proud and to have fun,’ she said.

Ilana tried herself in the artistic field since childhood: she performed in an amateur theater, hosted a children’s program and danced. But real success came to her when in 2012 she entered the show “Ural Dumplings”. Since then, Yuryeva has been one of the main stars of the show. Over the years of working on television, Ilana has changed a lot, going from a simpleton to a real diva. The artist assures that she owes her transformation to sports and proper nutrition, and that her face has changed due to weight loss, but the network still doubts the sincerity of Ilana.

Yulia Mikhalkova is another star and sex bomb of the Ural dumpling show (she left the project in 2019). She began her career as a presenter on the Yekaterinburg channel, and in 2009 she got into a comedy show of ancient cavemen.

There were a lot of rumors about Yulia’s appearance: she allegedly enlarged her labia and breasts and usually hides her real age. She herself denies having resorted to plastic, justifying the impression of the public with all sorts of optical illusions.

“This is a special way of applying lipstick: this way you can visually make the lips two or three times more voluminous. In “Ural dumplings” I used a special lip liner to enhance the look. I have an honest second size, and when it seems to you that the chest is not smaller than the fourth size, in 95% of cases it is a push-up, which should also be used on stage “said the artist.
