Mia Split

Mia Split

Born on September 20, 2000, in Russia, Mia Split was a gymnast and athlete who entered the adult industry in 2019 at the age of 18. Her background in sport pole dancing and competitive gymnastics distinguished her physically from many of her peers, giving her an athletic build and notable flexibility that became central to her on-screen work.

Career Timeline

Mia Split's professional career spanned from 2019 to 2023. She quickly gained industry attention, earning a nomination for Best New Starlet at the 2020 XBIZ Europa Awards within her first year of working. Over the course of roughly four years, she accumulated over 70 titles across a range of well-known studios including Evil Angel, LetsDoeIt, MetArt, Nubiles, and Private. This output placed her among the more prolific performers of her peer group during that period.

She worked under several aliases throughout her career, including Alexandra Makarova. Based in Budapest, Hungary, she had relocated from Russia and made the city her home. Mia identified as lesbian and had been married to a woman. She spoke publicly about her inability to return to Russia due to the treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals there, stating she could not go back "without being condemned."

Studio Work

Mia Split's filmography reflects a broad range of studio affiliations. Her work with Evil Angel and Private placed her within established European production circles, while her appearances for MetArt and Nubiles situated her in the glamour and solo content space as well. This range across both explicit and softcore studios was relatively uncommon for a performer active for only four years.

As a Russian performer working primarily out of Budapest, she was part of a wider community of Eastern European talent based in Hungary's capital, which has long served as a hub for European adult production.

Death

Mia Split died on October 27, 2023, in Budapest at the age of 23. Her death was confirmed as a suicide by industry colleagues and reported by XBIZ on October 30, 2023. A note circulated among close associates referenced the Green Bridge in Budapest as her "favorite place in the world" and expressed gratitude toward the adult industry and fellow performers for making her feel accepted.

Her passing drew attention to the mental health challenges faced by performers in the industry, particularly those navigating displacement and discrimination related to sexual orientation.
