Anastasia Volochkova – famous ballerina, public figure and a dancer. Volochkova began in her youth exclusively with ballet, but today the popularity of her personal life outweighs it many times over. professional activity. What is the secret of the interest of thousands of people in this multifaceted personality?
Anastasia Volochkova fell in love with ballet in her youth, according to her, at the age of 5. As a child, she studied this art at the Academy of Russian Ballet. Vaganova. Father, Yuri Volochkov, Soviet athlete, national champion in table tennis and athletics coach in sports school, supported his daughter’s aspirations in everything. The professional career of ballerina Anastasia Volochkova began at the age of 18, and immediately - in one of the largest and most popular theaters - the Mariinsky. After working there for 4 years, she moved to the Bolshoi Theater, and from that moment on, the era of her fame, even among people who do not attend the theater, can be considered open. Her first role in major theater Russia – and immediately the main one. She superbly performed the role of the Swan Princess in the production of Swan Lake. Later she was entrusted with several more roles, which the ballerina also performed excellently.
Artists of the Bolshoi Theater often went on tour to other countries. At the beginning of 2000, Nastya Volochkova performed one of her roles in London, where she charmed not only the audience, but also professionals. So, she received an engagement to play a role in “Sleeping Beauty”. Already in March of the same year, Volochkova returned to the Bolshoi Theater.
A few months later in Bolshoi Theater There are significant personnel changes, and from that moment her life ceases to be calm. The series of conflicts is already becoming chronic. Conflicts are fueled by her semi-professional activities on the side. Solo projects can be described as dance numbers with ballet elements modern style. Her popularity, although scandalous, did her good.
However, these dances, which Volochkov decides to stage on his own, are not approved by the theater administration. The public also has an ambivalent attitude towards them, but still buys tickets to her performances to see the scandalous ballerina. She also tries her hand at advertising. So, she became the face of the famous jewelry house “Chopard”. During the same period, she became a member of the party " United Russia", from which she later withdrew in 2011.
In 2004, the director decided that Volochkova did not fit into the idea of what a classical ballerina should look like, and the Bolshoi Theater could do without her. He simply fired the ballerina, but Volochkova turned out to be not a timid person. She filed a lawsuit, proving that her weight and height could not be a reason for dismissal, because they did not impair her physical capabilities. The ballerina fueled all this with numerous interviews, where she spoke about the illegality of the director’s decision. Volochkova won the case and was reinstated at work, but she did not want to stay in the theater.
The trial strengthened the artist. From that moment on, she became the main character of numerous articles in major magazines and newspapers. A scandalous ballerina from the Bolshoi Theater - what could be more tempting for the reader? At this time, few people perceive Volochkova as a ballerina, because on stage in pointe shoes you can see her much less often than in a nightclub. In addition to everything, the public also became aware of a quarrel with another scandalous famous person– Ksenia Sobchak. In those years, the girls said a lot of words to each other through the media, to the delight of the latter’s editors and readers. No ballerina has ever aroused such strong interest, and photos of Anastasia flash almost everywhere.
Family life Anastasia Volochkova’s life began with meeting her future husband on an airplane. The ballerina performed the wedding for three days, and the celebration was very luxurious. In an interview, the ballerina talked about how wonderful her husband is and how happy she is. Soon a daughter, Ariadne, is born. After the birth of her daughter, the ballerina’s flattering words about her husband gradually fade away. Divorce and separation were not long in coming. By the way, it later turned out that Volochkova was never officially married.
Volochkova was left alone with her daughter, but not a shadow of sadness could be seen in her actions. On the contrary, as if to spite everyone, she is vacationing in the most distant hot countries. One of the photo shoots on the beach, which can be described as “nude,” caused widespread public dissonance. Photos in a topless swimsuit, where the ballerina covers her breasts with her hands, became a real bomb. Society seemed to be divided into two camps, where the first group spoke about the inappropriateness of such behavior for a woman and mother, and the other, on the contrary, supported the ballerina in every possible way.
Later, photo shoots in a similar style continued. Anastasia regularly posts provocative photographs. We can say that the photos of Volochkova in her youth and now are completely different elements. Today this woman is quite confident in herself, easily breaks stereotypes and, to spite everyone, expands the boundaries of what is considered permissible. Sometimes appear in my personal life famous names, however, not a single romance has yet reached the wedding.
Anastasia Volochkova is known not only for her creativity. shockingness, high-profile scandals, sensational novels and candid photo shoots accompany her name.
The girl’s love for art brought her to the stage. Since the age of five she has been passionate about ballet, and at 18 she began doing it professionally at the famous Mariinsky Theater. Hard work and talent helped get to the main stage of the country- to the Bolshoi Theater. And here - incredible success. The role of the Swan Princess in “Swan Lake”, the admiration of the audience, foreign tours, engagement in “Sleeping Beauty” in London.
But calm creative life didn't last long. Personnel changes and part-time work on the side (she carried out solo projects) created a conflict situation, but at the same time bring widespread fame. The actress is offered to be the face of a fashion jewelry house.
All this caused dissatisfaction with the administration and subsequent dismissal. The court overturned the unlawful decision of the theater management, but there was no longer any desire to return to the team.
She manages herself. But the ballerina Volochkova no longer exists for society. Now she is a scandalous person who either gets into a public quarrel with Ksenia Sobchak, or posts provocative photos, or starts quarrels over the attention of rich potential suitors.
Surprisingly A woman’s personal life is also just a show. What was the cost of a luxurious wedding with a millionaire, which lasted three days, with the changing of several luxurious wedding dresses, as it turned out later, without official registration. Of the entire show, only the daughter Ariadne turned out to be real.
With age, Nastya becomes not only more confident, but also more relaxed. She does not forget to remind her admirers and enemies of herself with nude photo shoots filmed at expensive resorts.
The name of Anastasia Yuryevna Volochkova has long become known, many have heard about the merits of the ballerina and honored artist Russian Federation. Career path started back in 1994, and she is still famous for her performances. Anastasia Volochkova is a very multifaceted personality; in addition to ballet, she studies music, acting skills and tries himself as a model.
The future ballerina grew up in the family of a table tennis coach. Having seen a performance of the ballet “The Nutcracker” at the age of 5, she decided to become a ballerina. At first, the girl was told that she had no skills or talent, but stubborn Nastya achieved her goal.
The most important stage of the ballerina's career was her performances at the Mariinsky and Bolshoi Theaters. She was the main character of the production " Swan Lake"in 1994, performed the Swan Princess. Then Anastasia gradually began to play more than one main role(“Kosar”, “Giselle”, “Firebird”, “Raymonda” 1998).

Volochkova before and after plastic surgery
Anastasia gets prettier over the years, it seems that the celebrity does not age at all. Did the girl do plastic surgery? As Nastya states:
“I am against such procedures, they only do reverse effect, and spoil a woman’s face. But mesotherapy and Botox harm not only health, but also life.”
The ballerina says:
"To my own appearance, I pay a lot of attention. Sport gives me youth and thanks to active image life, I’m always on top.”
But, comparing old photos of Volochkova and current ones, it is very noticeable that her breasts have increased by three sizes.
Anastasia repeats with confidence that sports and hormones have done their job.

Personal life
According to rumors, the young ballerina fell in love with Suleiman Kerimov in 2000. The relationship lasted two years, and then ended in separation.
As Nastya says: “The discontent of the relatives bore fruit.” After the breakup, the ballerina began to have big problems in the theater; according to rumors, this was the revenge of her former lover.
In 2005, Volochkova gave birth to Ariadne from Igor Vdovin. And in 2007 he became the husband of a spectacular girl. The couple did not live long, only a year. We broke up due to different religious views. And the ex-husband’s yoga classes also interfered with the couple.
In 2011, the ballerina decided to take part in the “Let's Get Married” show, but nothing worked out.
After a two-year pause, the actress met businessman Bakhtiyar Salimov at the beginning of 2013. The romance was not long-term, only 9 months, and the couple broke off the relationship.
In 2013 they went to press, scandalous photos stars with Nikolai Baskov.
There were rumors that star couple novel, but Anastasia denied this information.
On this period time, the celebrity hides his personal relationships. What can't be said about her frank,
IN Lately Volochkova presents her fans with gifts of a very dubious nature: sometimes photos without clothes, sometimes provocative splits in a swimsuit, then a discussion of her tarnished reputation as a ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater, or loud scandals on TV shows related to divorce.
Where did that fragile and gentle ballerina with an innocent look that everyone saw in young Volochkova go? Then she was considered charmingly beautiful. Volochkova’s charms were so strong that people fell in love with her even dressed and with her legs together.
What do we see now? Public displays of the body.
Volochkova signed this photo with the words: “Today in this bath I need to wash myself off from the shooting in which I took part today... “Actually” on Channel One. Topic: Zaitsev sisters. Everything was fine until they got into a fight.”
“Thank God, not with me, although they wanted to. Konstantin, a lawyer, came under attack. And a glass of water, which I presented to these sisters, was thrown in his face. It was trash. There are no words. You'll see everything on the air. And water is my help!” The question is, why participate in such programs in which you can get involved in dirty disputes for once or twice?
Anastasia Volochkova still gives concerts and receives flowers and kind words in gratitude for them. She is very pleased with this, as she herself says in the videos posted on her page.
If everything was limited to this, fans would still treat the ballerina the same way as in the past.
But no. With many of her actions she provokes fans. And then he defends his honor because he is offended by the negative reaction. This is such a vicious circle.
“I respond to any insults from nonentities, to any attacks against me and to any attempt to annoy me with work and the quality of the result! And always with a smile. And if something doesn’t work out, I still overcome difficulties and achieve results! It happened that even when falling... The radius of the pointe shoe was small. But I always get up and move forward again! While practicing the elements, I look for ways and exits. Staying on top", writes Volochkova under her training video.
“And today, having seen my mother off to St. Petersburg, at this late rehearsal I’m dancing to the music of Tchaikovsky’s “Russian”. And I’m happy that professionalism always speaks for me. And the ability to do what many cannot do.”, she adds.
They say that happy man does not need to convince others of this. And here we are. Do you agree with this? Write in the comments.
Anastasia needs no special introduction. Every step of the ballerina - be it leaving the theater, wedding, divorce, friction with relatives and even a photo shoot in the Maldives - causes a strong public reaction.
Her photographs - her signature smooth hairstyle, three-quarter turn of her head - have appeared more than once on the covers of glossy publications. We invite you to look at photographs that mainly relate to the “pre-secular” period of the ballerina’s life.
In Anastasia's heart there always lived one, but fiery passion - she dreamed ballet stage. Despite the fact that the teachers unanimously insisted that she would not succeed, the girl persistently walked towards her goal. The main milestones of this path can be traced through photographs from the personal archive. In them, together with Nastya, the teachers from whom she took an example are the legendary personalities of Russian ballet Andris Liepa, Maya Plisetskaya. Early photos helped to find out who Volochkova’s first love was, and also shed light on the relationships of people close to her.
Me with my dad Yuri Fedorovich. He is an athlete, USSR champion in table tennis, and trained children. In general, dad was a busy man. When he picked me up from kindergarten and we went for a walk together, it was like a holiday for me every time. Dad has always been an authority for me. From him I inherited perseverance, willpower, and the ability to withstand difficulties. We specially took this photo in a photo studio. I've been here for five years. By the way, I don’t like to be photographed, but I like to look at my good photos.
Dad picks up mom and me from the maternity hospital. I was born in St. Petersburg, in a maternity hospital on Tchaikovsky Street. Unfortunately, I don't know his number. Mom told me that it was a bright sunny morning and I literally the words were born in a shirt (obstetricians know what this is). So I'll be happy. Mom always dreamed of a daughter and even came up with the name Nastenka for me in advance - in honor main character fairy tales "The Scarlet Flower".
It's 2002, I'm in Vienna, wearing a Yves dress. Saint Laurent. It is one of my favorites and I still have it to this day. After touring the UK, I got an engagement with the English National Ballet and lived in London for a year and a half. There I had a fan, wonderful romantic meetings... In general, I remember this period of my life as one of the happiest. From London I traveled all over the world. It was a good time.
Me, my mom ex-husband Igor and daughter Arisha are relaxing in the Maldives, wincing from the sun. We all went on vacation together this year. Interestingly, my mother used to have quite difficult relationship with Igor, she did not accept him in any way. But after our separation I began to treat him much warmer. Now they are inseparable.
My beloved Arisha riding a pony. The photo was taken in Bitsevsky Park - there is an equestrian center there. My daughter is three years old here, this is one of her first trips. Now she’s even learning to ride big horses and isn’t afraid at all! The initiator of introducing my daughter to horse riding was Igor. He recently bought himself a horse, his name is Zholtik. And now Igor and Arisha ride together on weekends.
This is a ballet school. Me with my teacher Natalya Mikhailovna Dudinskaya. Natalya Mikhailovna is a legendary personality. She was the wife artistic director Vaganova Ballet Academy Konstantin Sergeev and had the right to choose best students. I am proud that she took me into her class and did everything to make me a professional. It was Natalya Mikhailovna who brought me onto the stage of the Mariinsky Theater. And the fact that I was accepted into the troupe a year before graduation ballet school, says a lot.
And this is Nina Zubkovskaya, a teacher already Mariinsky Theater. Wonderful man, my friend and patron. A talented ballerina with an article, excellent manners, and an extraordinary beautiful woman! Before last days(she was seventy-eight years old when she died) she came to the hall with a ballet hairstyle, makeup, high heels. Looking at her, I wanted to “spread my wings and fly.” She supported me in difficult moments when I was pulled out of the Bolshoi Theater. She helped me a lot with the creation of programs for tours in London. By the way, please note: in this photo I am a brunette. My real hair color is dark brown. But I think light shades suit me much better.
The legendary Plisetskaya! I became the first Russian ballerina to whom Maya Mikhailovna gave her blessing to dance the part of Carmen, in which she once shone. And she personally rehearsed this ballet with me at the Bolshoi Theater. Do you see Maya Mikhailovna putting her hand on my shoulder? She shows with what pride the heroine should look at Jose. Plisetskaya always came to rehearsals in high heels. And imagine: in such shoes she danced her entire part - from beginning to end! No one understood how this was possible... Maya Mikhailovna is still an ideal for me - both as a woman, and as a ballerina, and as a person. This is a person who has the power of will. She had to face injustice, envy, and hypocrisy on her way, but she passed the test with dignity.
Another legend of Russian ballet is Andris Liepa. He helped Farukh Ruzimatov and I rehearse the ballet “Swan Lake”. I loved dancing with Farukh - he has amazing movement. He was not only my partner, but also the first man I fell in love with. We were connected by sincere, tender feelings. Farukh is a man of amazing beauty. Such an open face and benevolent smile can only belong to a noble person.
I'm in the role of Natalya Goncharova in the film "The Black Prince" about Pushkin. The acting experience was very interesting for me. I’m used to the fact that on stage you need to express emotions with the plasticity of your body, but here all the attention was focused on facial expressions. The film won the Grand Prix at the Independent international festival movie. And we started a good, warm relationship with my partner Levani Uchaneishvili, this Hollywood actor. We still communicate.
I'm in kindergarten. There is a photograph of Arisha, where she looks exactly like little me. You can say that my life began at the age of five: I watched “The Nutcracker” and fell in love with ballet. Unlike the teachers who said that I would not become a ballerina, my parents believed in me. And they did everything possible to make my dream come true. We didn’t have much money, but my dad and mom paid for private teachers and bought me pointe shoes at the Mariinsky Theater.
Thailand. We are celebrating our wedding with Igor for the third time. Our first day was in St. Petersburg, the next in Moscow. And six months later, when we went on a romantic trip, Igor decided to surprise me. We woke up early in the morning, and he said: “Nastya, get ready. We are going by boat to the islands.” And there everything was already decorated with flowers and ribbons, they were waiting for us. Spent with us wedding ceremony according to Thai traditions. It was very beautiful.
