Baranov was born on 18 January 1975 in Kharkiv, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union.[1] He moved to the United Kingdom around 1997 and became a British citizen by January 2002.[2] He married Marika Humphreys in March 1999.[1] He earned a degree in sports science from Glyndwr University in Wrexham and then studied physiotherapy at the University of Salford.[3]
Baranov met British ice dancer Marika Humphreys during her audition for the Blackpool Hot Ice show.[2] They began competing together in the 1998–99 season, obtaining the bronze medal at the British Championships.[4] The following season, they missed the national championships due to a car accident.[5]
In the 2001–02 season, Humphreys/Baranov were awarded silver at the 2001 Finlandia Trophy, bronze at the Golden Spin of Zagreb, and gold at the British Championships. They finished sixth at their Grand Prix assignment, the 2001 NHK Trophy. Although they qualified for the Olympics under International Skating Union rules, they did not meet the criteria of the British Olympic Association (BOA); the BOA initially refused to allow them to compete but changed its stance in December 2001.[2] In January 2002, Humphreys/Baranov finished 11th at the European Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland. In February, Humphreys/Baranov competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, United States. They finished 15th overall after ranking 16th in both compulsory dances, 15th in the original dance, and 15th in the free dance.[6] The following month, they placed 14th at the 2002 World Championships in Nagano, Japan.
In the 2002–03 season, Humphreys/Baranov were coached by Natalia Dubova in Cromwell, Connecticut, and by Roy Callaway in Deeside, north Wales.[7] They were awarded the gold medal at the 2002 Karl Schäfer Memorial and appeared at two Grand Prix events. The duo ranked 7th at the 2002 Cup of Russia and withdrew from the 2002 NHK Trophy after the compulsory dance due to a serious degenerative knee injury for Baranov. They missed the British Championships due to surgery, but took the bronze medal at the event the following season. They then retired from competition due to needing a further knee surgery.
