Business
In 1998, with the proceeds from the sale of her grandmother’s apartment, Yana opened her first beauty salon in Sochi.

In 2003, Yana expanded her business through a network of clothing stores from leading world brands and again did not fail – Rudkovskaya became one of the richest and most influential businesswomen in southern Russia. Her husband, millionaire Viktor Baturin, gave her great help in organizing a business then, but one must also pay tribute to the innate business acumen of Yana herself.

Producing career
In 2005, Rudkovskaya changed her field of activity somewhat and went into show business. After the death of Yuri Aizenshpis, a close friend of Yana, she “inherited” the young and promising singer Dima Bilan, whom Rudkovskaya undertook to produce. In three years, she made him the most popular artist on the Russian stage, and Bilan’s victory at Eurovision in 2008 brought the singer to a new level of success.

A little later, Yana shared with journalists even greater ambitions about Bilan: “I want Dima Bilan to be popular in the West and become the first Russian artist to receive a Grammy.” In parallel with the development of Dima Bilan’s career, Rudkovskaya produced the singers Alex and Sabrina.

Shortly after Eurovision, Yana got a new ward, her future husband Evgeni Plushenko. Rudkovskaya, with her characteristic zeal, began to patronize her husband, whose sports career was coming to an end. Numerous injuries no longer allowed the 2006 Olympic champion to demonstrate all his abilities, but Yana insisted that he still take part in the Sochi Olympics in 2014.

But Zhenya could not stand the crazy loads and withdrew from the performances in the individual tournament. A huge scandal erupted, promising the athlete a loss of reputation and complete oblivion. And only thanks to the intervention of Rudkovskaya, Evgeny did not turn out to be an outcast and remained afloat. Together with her husband, the enterprising Yana organized the Nutcracker ice show, picking up the idea of the Snow Queen by Ilya Averbukh, and staged a grand PR campaign in support of Plushenko.

In the summer of 2024, Yana Rudkovskaya had a conflict with Rita Dakota. So, according to the singer, after she published photos with Louis Vuitton bags in honor of the competition on Instagram, she received a call from Yana asking her to delete all the photos so as not to “disgrace the brand.” Rita hastened to share what happened with subscribers. As a result, Yana, who is the ambassador of this brand, was considered guilty even by her fans, and she had to apologize. Throughout 2024, Yana made ambiguous hints to fans that she was expecting a child, or dreaming of having one. And not just like that – on September 25, 2024, Yana and Evgeni Plushenko had a son, Arseniy. It is known that the boy was carried by a surrogate mother. Rudkovskaya immediately surrounded the new family member with love in her own style – the baby rides in a stroller for half a million rubles, which greatly outraged the socialite’s subscribers.
