In 2014–15 season, Evdokimova/Bazin stepped onto the national podium for the first time, beating Alla Loboda / Pavel Drozd by 0.19 points for the bronze medal at the Russian Junior Championships. Based on this result, they were chosen to compete as Russia's third ice dancing team at the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. Finishing tenth, Evdokimova/Bazin were the second best Russian duet after Anna Yanovskaya / Sergey Mozgov (gold), with Betina Popova / Yuri Vlasenko placing eleventh.

A month later Evdokimova/Bazin placed fifth at the 2018 Russian Championships.

2018–2019 season

In the free dance, a disastrous skate by Zahorski/Guerreiro allowed them to take the bronze medal. Bazin subsequently said that this had been their goal from the beginning of the season.
