Milena was brought to sports by her mom when she was just  three and a half years old. She started training in Shakhty, then trained in Rostov-on-Don with Adele Esipova and Irina Stupnikova. After that, she returned to Shakhty and moved on to Eleonora Sorokina. 

Milena took a break from her career and left gymnastics for equestrian sports, but then returned and became a student at the Olympic School in Rostov. 

Now she trains with the coaching tandem of Elena Ivanova and Antonina Kuznetsova.
