Who is the tallest Russian star?

Philip Kirkorov - 205 cm

The pop king of the national stage, by his own admission, is still growing.

Therefore, it is difficult to say what the man’s final height will be, but no one doubts that he is already one of the tallest Russian celebrities.

These Russian stars are tall, and the “extra” centimeters do not at all prevent them from achieving success in their careers.

Well, it's been a great week... how about you?
A post shared by Sergey Svetlakov (@ssvetlakov) on Nov 16, 2018 at 8:33am PST

Sergey Svetlakov is a charming comedian and producer. He gained popularity when, together with the KVN team from Yekaterinburg, he performed on stage and this debut was shown on TV. Then the whole city, and later the country, started talking about the cheerful and mischievous guys.

Particular attention was paid to Sergei, as he was one of the main leaders in the team and a generator of ideas, as he remains to this day. Svetlakov outgrew youth teams and started producing comedy programs, which he does very well.

If we talk about the artist’s height, then according to various sources he ranges from 182 to 190 centimeters. Fans most often agree that Sergei’s height online is too high and he is unlikely to reach 185 centimeters. The illusion of height is created by a man's very long legs.

Dmitry Dyuzhev (195 cm)

Bandits Cosmos and Simon, a fuel truck driver, Peter I, a former cop and a pregnant man - it’s a rare actor who can transform into each of these characters with equal conviction. Dyuzhev did it.

Having lost loved ones early, Dmitry turned to religion. He evaluates each new role from the point of view of the benefit it will bring to society.

The tallest Russian stars

Maria Sharapova 1 meter 88 centimeters

Her height, which is also great for the modeling business, allows Maria to realize herself in different directions. Of course, it is difficult to overshadow her sporting achievements, but it was her appearance that made the tennis player both an advertising star and a girl from the podium. With a height of 188 centimeters, Maria weighs no more than 60 kilograms. At the same time, Sharapova also has a sweet tooth. The only thing the famous Russian woman limits herself to is her choice of shoes. “In everyday life, I very rarely wear stilettos. “I’m already very tall,” Masha once admitted.

The Comedy Woman participant initially saw herself as a ballroom dancing star. But during training she injured her back, and she had to say goodbye to her dancing career. But she had a television career, and we must admit that for a girl of her stature, a sense of humor is a useful quality. According to rumors, the romance between Ekaterina and Dmitry Khrustalev began with jokes. One day during dinner, Khrustalev said: “Have you finally realized that I’m hitting on you?” To which Katya replied: “You’re too small to hit on me.” But Dmitry was not taken aback: “And we haven’t seen such tall ones!” - the colleague retorted. And although Katya and Dmitry eventually broke up, many believe that they were a very beautiful couple.

Olesya Zheleznyak.

Already at school, Olesya Zheleznyak was the tallest girl in the class, so she often sat on the last desk with poor students and hooligans. “But the first beauties were friends. I successfully highlighted their charms,” jokes Olesya. By the time she graduated from school, Zheleznyak’s height was 180 centimeters, and it would have been a sin not to take advantage of such unusual data. Her acting talent, combined with her unconventional appearance and tall stature, allowed Olesya to play in many comedy films. The actress’s appearance also attracted her future husband, actor Spartak Sumchenko. “Olesya seemed like a creature from another planet, an alien - I did not understand either her appearance or her character,” the artist once admitted.

Dmitry Guberniev.

Dmitry Guberniev 2 meters

With such height, Dmitry’s mass is 104 kilograms, which, of course, makes his sports comments very significant. At one time, Guberniev was not involved in basketball at all, as fans mistakenly believe, but in rowing. In everyday life, Dmitry’s height does not bother him. But it doesn’t always help professionally. At one time, the TV presenter was forced to climb into a T-80 tank when he was making a program about tank biathlon. “Really, I had to sit bent over like hell! But I drove 20 kilometers!” the commentator recalls.

Philip Kirkorov.

Philip Kirkorov 2 meters 2 centimeters

“Two meters of beauty”—that’s what the artist sometimes jokes to himself. Some time ago there was a rumor about Philip that the pop star was suffering from a disease due to which he could not stop growing. But since then, Philip has not grown a centimeter, which probably upset the gossipers. Selecting clothes for a person taller than two meters can turn into a long procedure, but Philip is not complaining. On the contrary, he is trying to get rid of a huge number of things. At some point, Philip decided to sell designer items, many of which he had never worn. The demand for things, however, turned out to be small, which is not surprising: after all, Philip’s clothes are not only exotic, but also clearly designed for growth.

Nikolay Valuev.

Liliya Sharlovskaya

Nikolay Valuev 2 meters 13 centimeters

It was not for nothing that Nikolai’s fans awarded him such nicknames as the Russian Giant and Kolya the Sledgehammer. Nikolai is one of those who is unlikely to ever be able to blend in with the crowd. But the athlete, actor and deputy also have rather big problems. For example, Nikolai’s shoe size is 51. And this means that everything - from classic boots to slippers - he has to sew to order. It’s not easy for Nikolai to move around the world. It is quite possible that airline seats in business class cabins will be able to accommodate him, but hotel beds are not always designed for people of this height. Valuev's wife barely reaches her husband's shoulder. At the same time, Galina claims that she loves every centimeter of her chosen one.

Oksana Fedorova.

Gennady Avramenko

Oksana Fedorova 1 meter 78 centimeters

Tall growth greatly helped Oksana Fedorova become Miss Universe at one time. The long-legged beauty won the hearts of the jury, and then millions of fans. Perhaps, since then, Oksana has not had any complexes about her height. In an interview, she admits that her calling card is high heels, tight dresses and long hair. And it doesn’t matter that in heels her height can reach 190 centimeters.

Denis Matsuev.

Denis Matsuev 1 meter 95 centimeters

It can be said that the famous pianist received almost no dividends from his powerful physique. Denis was born into the family of a composer and piano teacher, and from an early age he was instilled with serious skills in playing this instrument, and he combined his schooling with classes at an art school. Nevertheless, according to some of the pianist’s fans, they come not only to listen to his virtuoso playing, but also to see Denis himself. And his colleagues respectfully call Matsuev “Master ninety-five.”

Maxim Vitorgan (194 cm)

Ivan Urgant (195 cm)

“Fate’s darling,” “a person to whom everything comes easy,” is how Ivan is often assessed, forgetting about his incredible talent. Urgant is a sparkling humorist, multi-instrumentalist, gifted actor and singer.

He doesn’t at all look like a Hollywood handsome man with a dazzling smile, but he has a sea of charm and charm.

Victor Loginov (190 cm)

A bright role, like a parasite, grows onto the actor’s image, preventing the audience from considering his personality. It was the same with Loginov - for a very long time he was associated only with the narrow-minded Gena Bukin.

Meanwhile, the list of his serial characters is impressive. Outside of theater and cinema, Victor managed to work in a mine, publish a newspaper, be a tour guide, DJ, TV presenter and even a rescuer.

It cannot be said that Nelly Alisheva has achieved tremendous success; she will no longer be able to catch up with Ganova in the number of titles. In 2015, she suffered a back injury.
