Meanwhile, another project featuring Borisov, "Anna K," a Russian-language adaptation of "Anna Karenina" on Netflix, is said to be completed and ready for release. Gosha Kutsenko, who played Steve Oblonsky, praised Borisov's performance in "Anna K," calling it the best of his career. Kutsenko also expressed confidence in the success of "Anna K," stating that it will make a splash and be well-received when it is released.
In addition to his work in the film industry, Yuri Borisov has a notable political career. He served as Deputy Prime Minister of Russia from 2018 to 2022 and as General Director of Roscosmos from 2022 to 2025. He currently holds the position of Senator in the Federation Council representing Arkhangelsk Oblast.
