Danila on Skyping with Mark Waters (on auditioning for VA):
“I showed him two scenes from Richelle’s 1st book. The first scene is how real a Dhampir must kill a Strigoi. I showed him some gestures and read the text. The second scene was about how Dimitri first understood he was falling for Roza. I must show how I see her (Roza), what i’m thinking, how i’m looking at her, what i’m thinking about her.”
Danila on his Vampire Academy Movie partners:
“All the guys are so young (i repeat: so young!) But all of them are incredibly talented. They (Dominic & Lucy) are big professionals but they’re funny too. They made my hard work easier because both have a great sense of humor. There were a lot of joke and laugh during the shooting. They (Dominic & Lucy) helped me with my adaptation very much! She (Zoey Deutch) works so much and so hard! She had only one day off on this shooting, but i never heard complaints from her.”
Danila on Mark Waters:
“He is a super professional! Mega professional! I got a huge irreplaceable experience during our work! I repeated and will repeat: I’m lucky i had the chance to work with him.”
Danila on Richelle Mead:
“I must say my personal thanks to this amazing writer and woman. She created a very interesting character: Dimitri. She allowed him to fall in love, to love and to protect those he loves! He’s a gentleman and i really appreciate it! Thank you, Richelle!”

Yeva
Yeva Belikova is a dhampir and the mother of Olena Belikova. She was Guardian for some time, but returned home to raise her family, as she believes all dhampir women should. She is the maternal grandmother of Karolina, Dimitri, Sonja and Viktoria Belikov(a), and the great grandmother of Paul and Zoya Belikov(a) and Sonja's newborn baby.
In Blood Promise, when Rose Hathaway and Yeva first meet, she pretends that she can't speak nor understand English, however, it is later revealed that is was merely an act. She has a "gift" of being able to supposedly see the future, which Rose is very skeptical of. She is disappointed in Rose for staying in Baia so long and tells her she needs to leave and find Dimitri, like she came to do in the first place.
