Maxim Staviski (born November 16, 1977 in Rostov-on-Don, Russia) is a Bulgarian figure skater in ice dancing. He is a two-time World Champion, a two-time European Silver medalist and the 2006 Grand Prix Final Champion.
His skating partner and fiancée[1] is Albena Denkova. They are the first Bulgarian figure skaters to medal at championship events, including the European and World Championships.
Maxim is Jewish and originally from Russia, but has received Bulgarian citizenship. In 1996 he teamed up with Albena Denkova. In 2000 Denkova/Staviski moved from Sofia to Odintsovo, to have better training conditions.
Until 2005 the pair was coached by Alexei Gorshkov in Sofia and in Odintsovo near Moscow in Russia. After the 2005 World Championships, Denkova and Staviski moved to Delaware, USA to train with Natalia Linichuk and Gennadi Karponossov.
