Help to move credits to the correct account
There is an account which has a mix of credits of 2 actresses with (almost) the same name Irina Bondarenko: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6552472.
I spent some time to distinguish their roles and a lot of time to apply the corrections, but only 2 credits out of 5 were moved. The last 3 changes were declined several times with the status "Unable to verify" despite the evidences.
The actresses are:
- Iryna Bondarenko, Ukrainian actress since 2009. She used to use the Russian-style first name Irina, filming in Russian-languaged Ukrainian movies. This name is still on her website, but on Instagram she now uses Ukrainian-style Iryna.
- Instagram [ua] https://www.instagram.com/iryna.bondarenko.aktorka/
- website [ua] https://bondarenko.online/
- Ukrainian movie DB https://dzygamdb.com/en/site/pers-single?id=3244
- Russian movie DB [ru] https://www.kino-teatr.ru/kino/acter/w/post/346593/works/ (it's pretty good until 2022)
- Irina Ustinova, Russian model and actress since 2017. She uses name Irina Bondarenko as her artistic name now as we can see on her Instagram, while her old casting business card and movie DB sites have the name Irina Ustinova.

- casting business card https://kinolift.com/en/62601
- Russian movie DB [ru] https://www.kino-teatr.ru/kino/acter/w/ros/746195/works/
The main evidence is that a single actress can't take part in both Russian and Ukrainian projects in 2025. It was a usual thing before 2014 (like Russian TV-series https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4426042/ with a few Ukrainian actors), it was possible until 2022, but it's literally impossible now, during the Russian-Ukrainian war, when the border is front line, money of each other are banned, business partnership is under sanctions, and public contact is damned. So that all roles in Russian films since the 2020s should be moved to another account, which I created for Russian Irina Ustinova.
(Unfortunately) I had to overview her TV-series in order to gather evidences, and I attached them wherever it was possible in the following contributions:
