Uspenski's brother Vladimir (two years younger) is also a figure skater and competes at the international junior level. Uspenski's idol in skating is 2002 Olympic Champion Alexei Yagudin. At age six, he saw a group of children practising outdoor sports and wanted to join them without knowing that this was a figure skating group. Uspenski missed Russian Nationals 2007 due to illness (whooping cough). He switched coaches in January 2007.
