Actor Kristoff St. John’s Russian fiancee Kseniya Mikhaleva says she was denied an emergency visa to attend the soap star’s upcoming funeral. Kristoff died of a suspected suicide at his home in San Fernando Valley on Feb. 3, at age 52.
The actor will be buried at Valley Oaks Memorial Park in Westlake Village, CA. next to his son, Julian, who committed suicide in 2014.
On Monday, the Russian model, who is based in Moscow, took to her Instagram page to reveal she wouldn’t be able to say goodbye to the actor after her visa was apparently denied.
“Several weeks ago I applied for an ’emergency’ visa for the funeral to say goodbye my fiance and beloved,” she wrote. “The reply from the Embassy was ‘No’. My heart is broken. I am going through this with a huge pain in my heart, and realize that I don’t have opportunity to say goodbye to him and put flowers on his grave.
“It is not right, not fair. Fly, my love, and finally find peace. Any person in my place would be torn into pieces. It’s scary, painful, and disgusting that I cannot be with my loved one and his family on his last journey to eternal peace. RIP @kristoffstjohn.”
Kseniya, who got engaged to Kristoff last September, expressed her deep sadness at her fiancé’s untimely passing.
“For a year, I was the happiest women on Earth. That changed in a second,” she wrote. “I still cannot believe that Kristoff is gone, so early, so unexpectedly, one month after our last meeting in Moscow. In the two years that we were together, he taught me so much – how to love and be loved, how to open the best in other people, how to help people, and simply how to be a good human being. We planned to get married; we had many plans in the future together. With him gone, I have no idea what to do.”
Kristoff’s autopsy was completed 2 weeks ago. No cause of death was given. A private memorial service was held for the actor’s friends and family but it is not known when his funeral will be held.
RIP Kristoff
i thought it was alcohol overdose. He committed suicide, are you sure Sandra?
R.I.P, he was a big part of my household growing up. My mama still watches y&r
She wasn’t no damn fiancé.? So I guess he was making trips to Russia to see her and she never came to the States???
I can’t stand Russians! There’s a few that live in my building that have the nerve to be racist.? I had to curse a few of them out.
I’m so glad it’s a new post. That medical
Minute got folks heated today ???.
RIP Kristoff
I need to understand something.
When his son first committed suicide I thought that he was an only child, but after Kristoff died I found out that he had two living daughters.
I can’t fathom the grief of losing a child but I don’t understand why he couldn’t live for his two daughters.
Why did he feel so responsible for his son’s suicide?
This is his fiancé yet they only see each other when he goes to Russia? How often was that? She sounds more like a “pen pal” or his Moscow jump off. I find it weird they’ve been together for years and she’s never visited him in the states. I call BS.
He tried to commit suicide a few years ago.
And…What are we supposed to break the rules for this Russian Becky? BTW, how old is this mail order bride? In two years, she never made any attempt to come to America. Now she wants to come…just in case there’s money involved. You lost this one Becky. Wait for the next dumb black man. There are plenty of them.
?? He’s not in the ground yet ??
RIGHT! I could kinda pin point those who have been personally affected by herpes…..LMAO!
Talk about your problems (inserts Kevin McCall clip of him bawling his eyes out on ig over his bm/bd situation) express that something is wrong and there may be things you can’t get past, but address the issues. He wasn,t the same since his son died. RIP to Kristoff prayers to his family
She looks like Ivanka Trump
That’s what I was thinking
Now that I know that the fiancé is Russian I’m beginning to suspect foul play in his suicide
Sudden loss is hard.
That is how my sister died. May 8, 2018.
It does not get easier. You just learn to walk with a the limp.
Lol I refuse to step one dayum foot in that post ?. Them mfers go haaaaaard on them herp derp posts! I will not ?
Did you see the YouTube video of that Russian on the NY subway car full of Asians?
She hit one of them with an umbrella and they got into her a$$.
I was thinking this bish is brave to mess with someone when was she was outnumbered 50-11 to 1.
so sorry Zeta. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e86501847072dcba783eea0bbb2c002d3ed3d888581b08556155899f7897582f.gif
Yts are the same way. The supremacist mentality is skrong until they meet them minorities with hands… then reality kicks in lol
The yt immigrants are the worse.
I don’t think he felt responsibility so much as just pain. If you have children…no matter how many…how do you cope with losing one?
So sorry for your loss.
This bih trolling… putting out feelers for another sponsor… *yawn*

Sad… He’s been on ice for over a month… I’m glad they will finally lay his body to rest.
LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao… why don’t I feel bad for her because she can’t get a VISA? Stay ya ass in Russia and hump those wild boars running around.
Anyway, RIP to one of the GOATs of daytime TV.
I can’t feel bad for a pen pal.
She about to DM Shemar … lololol
He like brother to you, we are family …
Same here. I only knew of thr other kids from yahoo article after the fact. I wonder if he mistreated the boy when he was alive and felt guilt…just a thought.
Wow…it’s been over a month! I’m glad he is going to be buried soon….didn’t know they held bodies that long…??
I didn’t see the video but thats how they are. They think they’re above and better than everyone. One of them bumped me real hard as I was taking to the security guard in my building and didn’t bother to say anything. I took my keys and the security guards radio that was on the podium and threw it right at his head. The security came between us. I was ready for him & still is. His punk ass ran and told management.? If and when I see him again it’s on sight!!!
*cackles*
Wait a minute… this man died February 3rd and he is still ABOVE ground?!!!!!!!!!!!! What in the who fighting over his money is going on here?!!! A whole month and no funeral yet… #smh
i.
caint.
breeve.

*opportunist*
i think the son struggled with mental illness, which makes it difficult for the whole family. i think i read something about them seeking help for him, but something went wrong while he was in treatment and he ended up taking his own life. maybe Kristoff felt at the end of his rope after trying to get help for his child and it ending so tragically. iont know…
Sorry for your loss
she the fan club president.
I was in attendance at The Daytime Emmy’s when Kristoff won one of his Emmy’s.

DEAD @ pen pal.
Can’t trust them mf’s huh
But how do you kill yourself over one child but not find it within yourself to live for two?
?
Or maybe mental illness was in his family and it mostly impacted the males and he felt as if he had passed it on to his son?
Nadda one ??
He found Slovak love!
? sounds about right!!
Seriously, I’m surprised they gave her a hard time about getting a visa, since the Trump administration is really partial toward Russians.
Lmfao!!!! Omg this is legit some sh*t i would do ?
Ha,ha,ha!!
You are crazy!
That’s understandable.
Because its too painful. Do you have kids? You can’t imagine that pain…
If I remember right, it took like 2 1/2 months for James Brown to be buried, since his family was squabbling over his body and control over his estate. Same thing with Sherman Helmsley…took like 4 months.
Really….she was a mail order fiancee….why she doesn’t have a VISA already how often did they see each others. What do she need an emergency Visa for…she wasn’t his wife nor do she have any children by him…Chile do like his fans…. read about it on the internet.
I had the same question… why didn’t she already have a visa???
Idk…I just know I’ve had 2 miscarriages. It was devastating. I can’t totally relate but I know loss can overwhelm your thinking…
No, but I couldn’t imagine leaving my children without a parent either.
LOL! I needed that Laugh!
Did you attend his memorial service as well? ?
Stop, it’s too early in the day for this. ?https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7b8f6e72ced7fba534f00d661bc88836380332b992f0eb435ea4bfc986cff42b.gif
He found a long distance phugg buddy!
I have to watch it though, they may try and jump me one day.? You know they play dirty…?
And you know she will find one lickety split. With her mail order self. Wonder what he thought he had in common with a 25 year old Russian?
Sorry for your losses.
Ut Oh…yew mean he was foolin around wiff one of Vladimir Putin peeps? Hmmmm…lordt
So, da body still “out”?
not the wild boars LMAO!
yep! i just wonder if HE consider himself as her “fiance” …is she on HIS instagram?
you gotta watch those russians; i’m not gonna jump off on a political discussion, but remember that one russian girl who infiltrated the NRA who has/had an old azz “boyfriend” who is now under investigation (and her azz is sitting here in the detention center). they stay trying to get ‘put on’ ….mmm-hmmm.
smh…

one thing for sure, he loved himself some white women.
RIP again Kristoff. I’m getting my spaghetti, salad & garlic bread together right now, just in time for the Young and the Restless today.
Thank you
he never recovered from his sons death. sad.
?
Can we get a medical minute on his eyes, Ms. Rose? The cause of death may be right there.
Bitch stop trying be slick you can use your passport and fly here .. stop trying to use his death for your personal sneaky gain
Or a passport
at least an application… something!!!!!!
Why cant she just fly over here like any other tourist? Did her passport expire? Did she over stay last time she was here and got flagged?
Oh and IF Homegirl explained why in her LONG post, I didnt read it???
Chile… Folks have their folks in that fridge for MONTHS!
That’s what I thought. I’m confusion lol
Oh well. He is an asshole for killing himself
She needs a visa to enter the US. Only certain countries like UK or Canada can enter the US without a visitors visa.
???
Well how the fawk did she become his fiancé
I always thought his eyes were strange
Yea… like how gkdid she get to fawk him??
Welp, grieve from a distance Sis.
Lol
He went to Russia. Like some couples, they probably met on the internet and he went to Russia. They were supposed to get married in Oct. so he was probably going to get her a fiancee visa.
You know what ????
Ummmmmm, we don’t care!
So she was a mail order bride to be
most tourists need a visa to come to America.
Exactly. Maybe they were going to be on that show 90 Day Fiance!
Be careful, thought hey all like to act mafioso, some of them are actually connected and will steal and sell your ass…. you wake up in Uzbekistan somewhere.
Like James Brown.
And likely killed himself….so much for “love”
He’s STILL around? What so long to bury him?
My uncle lives in my aunt’s basement and he has a whole serious girlfriend in the Philippines. He’s never been more than a few hours from my Aunt’s basement. When you have an Internet connection, It’s possible. ?????
So Visas are the same as passports?
Internet sex is lame
And? Ain’t a damn thing wrong with that.
? He’s making plans to go see her. Problem is idk how he’s going to get there or get back to the states. He hasn’t had a job since I was in the 8th grade. No job, car or house of his own.
No, Visa’s are not the same. And both forms must be presented at the same time.
Needed for China, Afghanistan, Bulivia just to visit are just a few. Some visa’s are required if you are staying up to 30 plus days for other places and some carribean islands and most often if a Visa is needed so is some type of immunization. It’s levels
Damn, people in Russia even go out of their way to irk me by interchanging “women” and “woman” in the wrong context.
RIP, Neil. I can’t make it to the fune either…. but who got the body?
That’s messed up, but what was she doing all the way over there? Maybe had she been here than he wouldn’t have committed suicide.
Mail order bride tryna be slick with it. Byegirl
What was he doing all the way over here? What an odd question. Clearly, if she couldn’t even get permission to come to his funeral, she would need permission to come so they can go to Dairy Queen.
The cause of death was suicide.
She can jump Putin for all I care.
His eyes were just far apart like Brandy and Ray J. That’s all.
wait whet???? This man has been dead over a month and they STILL have not put him in the ground???? Da hell???? what are they waiting on???
Not an odd question at all. He has the acting gig over here. I doubt she’s even working, so it would make sense for here to be here and not there.
Is he competing with James Brown?

They haven’t buried him yet haven’t he been dead for a month
True, he could of just did like Shaq and Eddie Murphy and flew to Sacramento and found one lots of them up there!
Might be right!
They’re making truth of the stereotype of it taking Black people 35, 45 days to bury the dead, smh…
apparently she has issues getting a visa.. that should explain why she wasn’t here.
“With him gone, I have no idea what to do.”
—————————————-
White girl, just stop. You are going to move on to the next. You probably have someone else in your country the whole time you were supposedly with him.
based on the original post, it is obvious some people have never flown out of the United States and no nothing about visa requirements.
justlooking is correct. 2 different doc. A passport is a doc that provides proof of citizenship and allows you to travel to other countries. Some countries just like the US require an additional doc that you have to have (visa) before you can enter the country. There are different types of visas depending on your purpose. Travel, business are the most popular and are for if you plan to stay 90 days or less. Other types are immigrant visas such as the fiance visa we’re talking about or if you work for a multi-national business and they want you to be based in the US. A lot of people complain about the immigration system, but really have no clue about how complicated and expensive it can be.
Oh wow! Thank you ?
hes dead
yall please go read up on Visa requirements for entry in the US. The duration of which you’re allowed to stay in the US varies, and will vary depending on the reason of your visit. It sounds like she had a visa in the past but it expired. Getting a visa to come here is not as simple as her getting her passport. If you go to Ghana, for example, half of that damn country is in line at the US embassy trying to get a visa to come to the US but only a few of them will be selected to come. She may have faced similar issues with her emergency application.
True, but to fly out of the US you don’t need a visa for most places. What they wouldn’t understand is what is needed as a foreigner to come to the US.
I guess white ain’t always right. WELP.
my guess is– both father and son suffered from a similar form of mental illness.
that’s one of my pet peeves. And also use sale for sell, such as “Do you know anyone who sale cupcakes? No, but I sure do know someone who sells them!
I don’t think she ever had one. It seems he’s been going to see her in Russia. She said the last time she saw him he had been there to see her.
So sorry
No cause of death? Didn’t he commit suicide???? And as for the visa problem, blame DJT.
You base your assumption that she’s not working on what? He’s doing a soap opera, it ain’t like he’s making Bill Gates money. He’s lucky to be bringing in $5K per episode… and you have to BE in the episode to be paid for it. So, if he’s making $20K per month, he ain’t balling by LA standards. He ain’t really balling by Atlanta standards. $240K per year if he’s lucky.
Ghana as well.
Oh damn….he was still grieving over his son’s death….
We will just video connectGoggle DuoWhatsupSkypeFacebook messenger ya in boo….problem solved!
*note just to name a few. ?
Wait was she a damn mail order bride how did he meet her if she can’t come to US? She thought she was gone get married and get that citizenship. She’ll find another tourist quick Russian woman all have the same agenda.
Sorry to hear of your sudden and tragic loss.
Double awww because he died on my day of birth
?
i could care less.
RIGHTFULLY so, I give zero f*cks about the fact that she wanted to be here. I think his family can grieve together as a family without having an outsider who they must make feel comfortable. If they were THAT together, she’d be here already. the fact that she is not the just the way it is. If God had intended for her to be in the States she would be. He makes no mistakes.
sMILEY fACE
Either life insurance or for the GoFund me account to get built up to cover the burial cost, are my guess.
She needs 2 be thanking God that they didnt get married n she come home n find him dead or him do a murder suicide with her. A lot of times we looking for the perfect love story when we need 2 count our blessings n keep it moving.
Right! Put that man down in the earth already!
He’s been on Y&R for at least 20 years. That man had to be making at least a million a year. Victor Newman’s character was reportedly a million a year, 20-30 years ago.
girl!!! thats what I am saying!!!
This is not true – at all. Susan Lucci was the highest paid actress on daytime television and SHE made history when she was FINALLY paid $1 million dollars and she had been on the same show for 40 years. Look at SAG/AFTRA rate sheet – I was being generous, but even their rate sheet says the scale for a veteran of over 10 years is capped out at $5,000 per episode. So, the MAX anyone can make (and that means you have to appear in EVERY single episode) is $1,300,000.00 per year. And, we all know that NOBODY is in every single episode. Those numbers are from the actors union pay sheet. Y’all assume that everybody is balling just because they’re on TV – not true.
This is why soap opera actors have always said that network television actors and movie stars have always looked down on them.
WAIT!!! This man hasn’t been buried yet?? WTF!!! His family must be competing with James Brown and Gary Coleman’s family to see who can wait the longest to bury the body. DISGUSTING!
OMG! I just wrote this without reading the comments. Also Gary Coleman!!!
Bye Natasha.
Eric Braedon, who played Victor Newman on Y&R, was worth $25 million in 2009, after being on the soap opera for 30 years. So, it’s possible that Kristoff wasn’t exactly living hand-to-mouth in LA. It’s also possible that he used his money for investment deals so that he wouldn’t need to do anymore acting gigs outside of Y&R. We don’t know these ppl finances or how they live. Yeah I saw that bit about soap opera actors making under $5k an episode – which Kristoff was in many episodes in Y&R in the mid/late 90s, for all we know he could have invested well.
Tell your uncle to apply for 90 Day Fiance. It’s my favorite reality tv show.
Kristoff St. John was buried next to his late son, Julian, after the services yesterday Monday the 4th.
i’m aware. we have employees with student visas and work visas. my point was that she perhaps could have done more to increase her chances of receiving one. (and in this case, i still don’t believe her story) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9c5524b933f3a29872256af8b9d30b4c9ec5914b980fdc0a0817cbbe688aa153.gif
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew he liked others!!
Oh yes, I sww that. Just adding my two cents. I had to wait weeks for that damn visa only to have trouble upon entry.
Next time she will marry the American quickly.
You can’t trust them Russian mail_order girls.Very manipulative.
You can’t trust them Russian mail_order girls.Very manipulative.
Kcool tries it everyyytime.
“he could have just done like Shag and Eddie Murphy”
There, fixed it for you.
Why refer to Ghana as that damn country though?
Why come? You know that’s too long. ??
Usually due to lack of funds tho. Right? They can pay.
well, i aint one to talk, so you ain’t heard it from me (but it is…) ROFL!!!
umh now that you think about it what did they have in common?
sad but true!!!
crazy lol
one month after you last saw him and he is your fiancee???? uh nope
Thank you Grammarly, since you couldn’t understand it the way it was first typed.
Dont they have to pay for the “storage”?
it must be something in the water, those russian women are gorgeous
? EVERYTIME!!
Awww is that what it is? Still have a lopsided look to them
???
Lolololol the interview would be on fire…I will tell him.
I wonder if this was his mail order bride. In any event, that’s too bad that she can’t get her closure
who cares…
How are people like you gon survive after November 8, 2020?
