He was born in Krivoy Rog, but spent his childhood on the road — his parents worked in the circus. Now Yuri lives in St. Petersburg: he teaches history, studies religious studies, runs a blog, writes stories and records courses on fruit eating

He was inspired to switch to a fruit diet by Milovanov, Zeland and ... his own body, which had to go through a lot: three operations, many diagnoses, helpless doctors and seven years of sleepless nights. But it was fruits that became his salvation

Today, Yuri does not drink water, eats only fruits — and the diseases, one after another, went away. The path was not easy, with rollbacks and doubts, but he persevered

Yura loves books, theater and creates content that inspires others. His mission is to educate. Among his favorite fruits are lychee, longan, watermelon and grapes."

But there is something that is not visible at first glance: Ruslan is a fruitarian. He lives on fruits alone — and at the same time continues to shine, inspire, create. His energy, purity and concentration are the result of a lifestyle that he has chosen consciously

And this is the man who will be performing exclusively at uFruitFest

A legend with a worldwide reputation and a busy schedule has agreed to meet with us at the Festival

He didn’t just study recovery methods — he lived them first-hand. Several years ago, Denis himself faced serious health problems and excess weight. This turning point became the beginning of his deep path in the field of naturopathy and alternative approaches to nutrition. Denis has gone through many systems: carnivore, veganism, fruitarianism, fasting, separate nutrition, cleansing and breathing practices. He is not tied to any one direction — his approach is based on real results and careful observation of himself and others

He has accompanied hundreds of people with a wide variety of symptoms, helping to build an individual path to physical and mental clarity

At our festival, he acts as a special guest to share his story, knowledge and conclusions accumulated over years of immersion in the nature of nutrition and healing

In his research, Andrey seeks answers to the most difficult questions of fruit people, helping everyone find their individual path to health using the language of the stars

At the festival, Andrey will reveal the secret of natal charts - is it really possible to see in them whether a person is able to change their diet, switch to fruits and whether they will be prone to breakdowns?

Orvel Douglas is a certified nutritionist and dietician (ITEC), a man who once radically changed his life, losing 23 kg in just 8 weeks and turning from a dissatisfied man into an energetic and fit opinion leader

Our speaker is a person with unique experience - his family has been living on fruits for more than 12 years. Before conception, during pregnancy and breastfeeding of two children, they adhered exclusively to a fruit diet

For good reasons, we cannot reveal his name before the broadcast - and this is what makes the meeting even more sensational. His story was a real discovery even for our community, and now for the first time it will be heard exclusively at the festival in a closed broadcast only for participants

Anesia and Victor live in the States and have made fruit, exercise, sun, and health the foundation of their lifestyle.

His mission is to show by his own example and with a smile on his face that a happy, easy and environmentally friendly life is available to everyone

Information will be added soon

A live broadcast with Douglas Graham is an event that has been anticipated for decades in the Russian-speaking world. And it's finally here!

This world-class legend, a man known throughout the fruitarian community, is engaging directly with a Russian audience for the first time. He has worked with Hollywood stars, including Demi Moore, consulted with Olympic champions and top-level athletes, and created nutrition systems that help not just stay in shape, but also unlock hidden reserves of strength and endurance.

At uFruitFest, Douglas will share rarely heard publicly:
— the difference between building muscle and building strength;
— why fruit energy provides the purest and most powerful strength, unavailable to any other form of nutrition;
— how his discoveries have changed our understanding of the human body's capabilities.

This will be a unique broadcast—the first link that will connect this global legend and our community. An opportunity to hear from the number one figure in the fruitarian world, ask your questions, and be inspired to make a difference. A moment you can't miss.

The broadcast will be translated into Russian.

In recent years, the carnivore diet has been rapidly gaining popularity. More and more people are abandoning plant-based foods in favor of exclusively animal products. Why? What's behind this trend? And what's behind the high-profile stories of "meat-based recovery"?

Is it just a passing fad or a truly effective system?

At uFruitFest Online, Yura Fruktoed will present the results of his independent, personal research. He delved deeply: without bias, without slogans, with critical thinking.

You'll learn:
— Is it possible to live on meat alone and still remain healthy?
— What actually happens in the body with this diet?
— And where is the line between "apparent" and "effective?"

A broadcast that will raise questions. And perhaps even change your perspective?

Medicine and fruitarianism are two universes that rarely understand each other. But is it possible to find common ground? How can you avoid falling into the trap of formulaic diagnoses? What should you tell your doctor if you haven't eaten anything but fruit in a long time—and yet you're still full of energy?

A practicing physician with 20 years of experience shares how to navigate the healthcare system while remaining true to your path. Why do you need to get tested and how can a fruitarian interpret them? Specific advice, personal case studies, and answers to your most pressing questions

Why do some people transition to fruit easily and naturally, while others struggle with cravings for years? Perhaps the answer lies not only in willpower, but also... in the stars. Andrey Berezenko conducted a unique astrological study, examining dozens of natal charts of those who had firmly established themselves on the fruitarian path, as well as those who seemed to be held back by the stars.

In this talk, we will learn:
• How to determine an innate predisposition to fruitarianism using your natal chart
• What strengths in your chart can become a support on your path to clean eating
• What astrological indicators predict the risk of failure and how to recognize them
• ​​How to strengthen your success factors and neutralize the weaknesses suggested by the stars

Perhaps this is where you will receive your personal key to success—encrypted at the moment of your birth.

And those who join the live broadcast will be able to send their data to Andrey online and receive an express analysis: how predisposed you are to fruitarianism and what difficulties you may encounter. This feature will only be available during the broadcast and only if you have the exact time of birth, including hours and minutes.

Orvel Douglas's show is a look at how to maintain a fruit-based diet while still living the fast pace of the big city.

He's been eating only fruit for 13 years, but his life is far from stereotypical. One meal a day, work, workouts, online marathons—along with clubs, dancing, movies, walks in New York City parks, and close contact with friends who don't share his diet. His partner doesn't eat fruit—and this doesn't interfere with their relationship or his choices.

We'll discuss how to combine a fruit-based diet with an active social life, and how to maintain ease and energy in a city where temptations outnumber fruit markets.

Orvel's talk is truly a unique event for a Russian-speaking audience, and a rare opportunity to hear the story of a man who proves that fruit and the big city are perfectly compatible.

The show will be translated into Russian.

We're looking forward to a unique broadcast from Viktor and Anesia, sharing their personal experiences with conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, based on their many years of fruit-based nutrition.

You'll learn how fruits can support a woman's body during pregnancy, aid postpartum recovery, and provide energy for motherhood. Anesia will share practical knowledge on how to maintain hormonal health and overcome fatigue, and she'll also share her experience with breastfeeding.

This broadcast will be useful for expectant and new mothers, as well as anyone interested in harmonious parenting in harmony with nature.

All listeners will have the opportunity to ask our guests any questions.

Dima Epishin, a guest speaker at the Michigan Fruit Festival, returns after a month in the States and shares insights you won't find in posts or stories.

This isn't just a story about the festival he participated in, but facts, thoughts, and reflections from talking with fruit-loving people in America.

What does fruitarianism really look like in the US?
What do they eat, what do they look like, what illnesses do they have?
What do they talk about, what do they complain about, what do they dream about?
How are we similar—and how are we truly different?

A conversation without embellishment

With nuances, observations, and surprising moments

Just once, live, only for participants.

This spring, Dima Kutny's name once again exploded in fruit-eating circles. One piece of news—and a wave of discussions, debates, speculation, and conjecture. A transition? A change of course? Why? For what purpose?

There have been versions and theories, but the real reasons remain shrouded in mystery. Is everything really as he described it... or are there deeper motives behind it that Dima has so far preferred to remain silent about?

And now, the long-awaited moment—Dima Kutny, live at uFruitFest Online.
Without a script, without preparation, he won't know the questions in advance.
He won't be able to evade or deviate.
Pointy, uncomfortable, real questions—and immediate, honest answers.

We won't be recording or repeating this broadcast; it will be a closed meeting for festival participants only.

"Roasting" by Dima Kutny. A lively, unpredictable, and historic dialogue

Come to hear what won't be said publicly. Ask Dima your question in person and witness the moment when the whole truth is revealed, just for us.

Yes, Artyom is writing a book. And he's sharing his deepest thoughts, stories, and conclusions with us. This isn't just a text—it's a journey, experiences, mistakes, and insights. We'll be the first to hear what it's about.

Ann Osborn is a living legend, one of the most famous fruitarians in the world. She didn't just choose the fruitarian path—she gave birth to and raised her children on a fruit-based diet until they were 12. What reactions did she face from society? Why was her experience ultimately rejected by the system? What did she learn from this—and what important conclusions can each of us draw?

Ann has experienced admiration, pressure, struggle, and profound realization. Her journey is unique, and now it will be shared live at our Festival.
What happens when you follow your truth, even if society rejects you?

What does a fruitarian diet give you—and what can it take away if you follow it to the end? In a live broadcast with Ann, you'll learn what the fruit journey looks like on another continent—in Australia. You'll discover the challenges the system poses, the role movement plays, and how to maintain energy, freedom, and love in a world that isn't always ready to understand.

Festival participants will have the unique opportunity to hear the unvarnished truth from someone who not only walked the path, but pioneered it.

Exclusively at uFruitFest

A broadcast that can change your perception of what's possible.

The broadcast will be translated into Russian.

What happens when a person decides not just to study, but to experience all nutritional systems firsthand?

On the air with Denis Belozerov—a man who has experienced fasting, carnivore, veganism, cleansing practices, separate meals, fruitarianism, and other unconventional approaches—we'll offer a rare opportunity to hear a live "nutrition anthology" firsthand.

Denis didn't just try them—he lived them, researched them, observing himself and others. Guiding people with different symptoms and stories, Denis built a personal map of sensations, reactions, and patterns, studying how each approach impacts people with different health conditions. This amazing person will explain how the body, psyche, and perception change depending on different types of nutrition. Which systems work only initially, and which produce long-lasting results? What conclusions can be drawn when you look at things not through theory, but through lived experience?

In this broadcast, our special festival guest will share his observations about each of the alternative dietary options that deviate in one way or another from the official WHO recommendations. How long did the stages last, what happened, and why did he decide to move forward?

We'll also pay special attention to fruitarianism. What did Denis feel when he found himself on this dietary system? Why did he decide to quit? Where does he place it in his personal anthology—a temporary recovery, a universal path, or something that requires special maturity? Can fruitarianism be a dietary system "for everyone," or is it not for most?

And most interestingly, where is he now, what are his plans, and should we expect a return to fruit?

We're in for an informative and passionate broadcast, with frank questions, facts, feelings, and personal honesty.

Expectations vs. Reality. Testing the Theory.

Why will this be interesting and truly exclusive?

Dima is the only member of our fruitarian community who, over the past year, has met in person with a huge number of fruitarians from Asia, Europe, and America, of varying ages and experience. He has visited countries where fruitarians live, sampled local and imported fruits, spoken with legends of Russian and American fruitarianism, organized fruitarian festivals in Phuket and Vietnam, and spoken at fruitarian festivals in Michigan.

Together with Inna Lomanov, he unites fruitarians from all over the world through the projects Urban Fruitarian, uFruitFest, #FRUITPILGRIM, and "Orange Hearts." Dima has walked thousands of kilometers, observing and speaking with people on different diets around the world.

At the online festival, he will share how he believes the principles of the Fruitarian Theory work, based on his personal experience and that of other fruitarians. We'll find out how the theory has changed after such a large-scale, live study.

Not everything turned out smoothly and definitively.
It will be honest, open, and sometimes harsh.
With examples, names, and facts.

And the main question: is the Fruitarian Theory still alive, and is it worth continuing to believe in?

Is there such a thing as friendship between a man and a woman, or is it always something more? Is it possible to be close friends and business partners?

What was Inna and Dima's relationship like online before they met, and what has changed since their in-person encounter in America? 30 days together, every day. Intimate, unexpected details about fruity relationships, the meaning of sex, libido levels.

About the difficult, the uncomfortable. Honestly about each other, openly, and exclusively for loved ones!

How to avoid breaking the fruit habit? Yura Fruktoed knows.

For the first time and exclusively at uFruitFest Online: a presentation of the new "Antisrelapse" course—a powerful program for those who want to not just start their fruit-eating journey, but stay on it.

Why do we find ourselves drawn back even after wonderful feelings and a sense of relief?
What's really behind these breakdowns?
How can we build an internal foundation so that eating fruit becomes not just a temporary blip, but the foundation of our lives?

During the live broadcast, Yura won't just explain how the course was conceived, who it's suitable for, and why it works; he'll also conduct a mini-masterclass.

He'll share key techniques from the course, and participants will have the opportunity to try them out live. This isn't theory—it's a hands-on experience with real tools that have already helped many.

🎁 A special offer is available only at the festival: broadcast participants will be able to purchase the "Antisruption" course at a discount and be the first to experience this journey with Yura.

It will be honest, profound, and practical.

And perhaps this broadcast will keep you from that very breakdown that's been creeping up on you.

Marika's exclusive class isn't just a workout, it's a meeting with yourself. Through the body, to deep balance. Through the muscles, to inner stability. An immersion that's missing in routine.

Valery lives in the deep north, works in a meat restaurant, and eats only fruit. How does he cope with the cold, social pressure, and the availability of fruit? This episode is about resilience, balance, and inspiration—even when fruit-eating seems impossible

For many, Inna Lomanova is a symbol of light, energy, and endless inspiration. But right now, something is happening in her life that no one knows about. For the first time, she will reveal what usually remains behind the scenes: personal experiences, inner turning points, and new meanings. This broadcast is about the present. Without masks. About what makes us stronger

A practicing physician with 20 years of experience shares personal observations, professional insight, and practical advice. This broadcast is for those who want to maintain health, confidence, and inner strength without becoming isolated. An honest conversation, answers to your questions, and support from within the system

This broadcast is a truly rare occasion.

Ruslan Nureyev is one of those who not only sits alongside world stars, but creates images for them that are then shared around the world. And all this is happening against the backdrop of Ruslan's strict, conscious choice to eat only fruit. In a world dominated by filming, flights, and the glamour behind the scenes, he remains true to his fruit-eating lifestyle—and continues to shine.

Ruslan is extremely busy, his schedule scheduled down to the minute. So his agreement to speak at uFruitFest is already a milestone.

In this broadcast, we'll take a behind-the-scenes look:
— what the daily life of a fruitarian is like in Los Angeles among celebrities,
— how to maintain a high standard of excellence without coffee, snacks, and restaurant food,
— and why he considers fruit his main resource for growth, inspiration, and success.

Festival participants will have the opportunity to hear the voice of a man who has not simply adapted, but has become part of the industry elite, remaining true to fruit.

Purity of choice in a noisy world—that's what we'll be discussing.

A fresh format for working with the body and senses that will revolutionize your understanding of movement. Ready for the unexpected?

Dima shares songs that hide stories, love, and journeys. From fruity hits to unexpected tracks, this is musical therapy from someone who feels deeply

It turns out that we have a married couple from Russia in our midst, in which both partners consciously ate only fruit before conception, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding their two children. This is a real experience and a true story that began 12 years ago, before the rise of fruitarianism in Russia.

On the show, we'll learn about the benefits and bonuses of a fruit-based diet during childbirth.

But it's not all that simple. There were nuances, complexities, and contradictions with the generally accepted medical position, as well as discrepancies between fetal development and accepted norms and characteristics.

This is a story about a bold and conscious decision and how reality can present surprises for which we are not always prepared. And at that moment, we need to make a choice and take responsibility.

We respect our speaker and cannot announce his name in the announcement before the festival broadcast.
