Early life
Vladislav Larin was born 7 October 1995 in the village of Kotkozero, Karelia. When he was five, his family moved to Petrozavodsk, the capital of Karelia. He practiced artistic gymnastics before receiving a longtime hand injury at the age of 5, urging him to discontinue. In 2002, he switched to taekwondo, attending and graduating from the Institute for Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Petrozavodsk State University, where he practiced taekwondo.
Personal life
On 16 August 2020, Larin married ninefold Russian poomse taekwondo champion Anastasia. Their wedding took place in Karelia.[3]
Political stance
Larin was among the two Russian athletes barred from entering the 2023 World Taekwondo Championships due to his explicit support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4] Larin shot a video in which he called on people to donate for the mobilized Russian soldiers.[5] In October 2023, the Security Service of Ukraine was considering opening a case against Larin whom they accused of financing terrorism and encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine.[6] On October 18, Larin was added to the Myrotvorets list.[7]
