Kartsev represented Russia at the 2021 European Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Basel, Switzerland. He placed third in the all-around during qualifications but did not reach the final due to the two-per-country rule, as his teammates Nikita Nagornyy and David Belyavskiy finished ahead of him.{{cite web|url= https://www.europeangymnastics.com/event/2021-european-championships-artistic-gymnastics/results|title=2021 European Championships results|website=European Gymnastics (UEG)|date=April 25, 2021}}
