Career

Soldatova began skating at the age of four. She won the 1998 World Junior title. In 2000, she finished fourth at the Russian nationals, and therefore was not selected to compete at the 2000 World Championships.

In spring 2000, Soldatova decided to compete for Belarus internationally. She withdrew from the 2001 European Championships after the short program due to a shoulder injury. In 2004, Soldatova returned briefly to compete for Russia.

Soldatova has progressed into a coaching career. One of her best student is Daniela Asanova, a competitor at the Russian novice junior nationals 2010.
