Soloviev teamed up with Bobrova in 2000. They became the World Junior Champions in 2007.[5][6][7] They competed at their first senior Worlds in 2008, where they placed 13th. The following season Bobrova and Soloviev were not selected for the event.
During the 2009–2010 season, Bobrova and Soloviev won the silver medal at 2010 Russian Nationals in December 2009, earning them their first berth to the European Championships in January 2010, where they placed 9th. They also qualified for the Olympics the following month where they finished in 15th. They also competed at their second World Championships and climbed to 8th in the rankings.
During the 2010–2011 season, Bobrova and Soloviev won their first medal on the senior Grand Prix series – a silver at Cup of China. At their next event, 2010 Cup of Russia, they won their first senior Grand Prix title. In doing so, they qualified for their first senior Grand Prix Final, where they finished fourth.
At the 2011 Russian Championships, they finished first in both the short dance[8] and the free dance to win their first national title.[9] Following the event, they decided to drop their Delilah short dance in favor of a new one to Where I Want to Be which they debuted at the 2011 European Championships.[10][11] They won their first medal at the event, silver.[12] At the 2011 World Championships, they came in 6th.
