From Moscow to Manila: The rise of Elena Kozlova
Manila Bulletin
|January 25, 2026
Russian actress Elena Kozlova can't wait to light up the screen in her first full-length Filipino film—if given the chance.
When asked if she is prepared to speak Tagalog in a Filipino film, Elena replied, "Ngayon na, pwede na mag-Tagalog. Syempre, I would like that. (I can speak Tagalog now.)," showing her enthusiasm to embrace the local language on screen.
Elena revealed that she watches numerous Filipino movies to improve her Tagalog skills. "I'm a big fan of Anne Curtis because I love her screen presence."
She shared that her experience in the Philippines has been wonderful, especially working with local directors and producers.
"It's fantastic. I'm having a great experience here. I'm very thankful to the Filipino directors and producers for trusting me," Elena said about her stay in the Philippines.
Elena added, "I plan to make more movies in the Philippines, but I have been selective about the roles I take. In my experience, many roles for foreigners tend to be stereotypical, often as the 'other woman' or in sexy parts. But the Philippine industry is open and evolving.
