Although still age-eligible for junior events in the 2015–16 season, the duo decided to move up to the senior ranks. Yanovskaya injured her back and chin due to a fall on a lift during the summer but recovered "fully and quickly". Debuting on the Grand Prix, Yanovskaya/Mozgov placed sixth at the 2015 Skate America and 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard. In December, they finished sixth at the 2016 Russian Championships in Yekaterinburg.
