Anastasia Volochkova year of birth. Scandalous lifestyle. Who was Anastasia Volochka’s ex-husband: why the ballerina’s family life didn’t work out
Nastya was born in St. Petersburg family professional tennis player - master of sports of international class and USSR table tennis champion Yuri Fedorovich and engineer by profession and tour guide by vocation - Tamara Vladimirovna Volochkova.
The inquisitive girl was interested in learning something new, and not only watching, but also participating. When, at the age of five, her mother took her to see “The Nutcracker” at the Mariinsky Theater, Nastya literally fell in love with the sacred action that took place on stage. Even then, she told her parents that she would definitely become a ballerina.
Why not? The baby was taken to choreographic school, after which she entered the St. Petersburg Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet. The ballerina will never forget the entrance exams. According to Volochkova, her heart literally stopped during each of the tours.
They looked at her several times, forced her to show what she could do, and shook their heads: “There is no talent,” was the verdict of the famous admissions committee. Anastasia confirms: she herself understood that she could not jump high, raise her leg... her foot lacked lift and eversion.
But having paid attention to the zeal of the young girl, she was still accepted - with a probationary period of six months. Rumor has it that choreographer Konstantin Sergeev insisted on a positive verdict from the commission members.
It was difficult for Anastasia to study. She still believes that the teachers did not like her and they deliberately bullied her. But my classmates felt sorry and sympathized. Sweet, kind and open Nastya quickly won their trust and was popular among students.
Squabbles
She was so eager to fulfill her cherished dream that she worked day and night, honing her skills. As a result, Volochkova graduated from the academy with enchanting success in her diploma “Swan Lake” on the stage of the Mariinsky Theater. Played main role and, with honors, received an invitation to the troupe.
Feeling like a high-class professional, she begins to participate in festivals. Victory in international competition ballet dancers named after Serge Lifar reinforced her confidence in her own abilities. Moreover, the audience here gave the ballerina a standing ovation.
On the stage of the St. Petersburg theater she will soon begin to receive leading roles in most ballets. The ballerina herself admits: that period was not easy. The constant squabbles and intrigues of the ballet world directly affected her. Soon the leading parties stopped giving her money, and then they actually removed her from work altogether.
The break with the theater occurred in 1998. For two years she has been touring on her own - in Japan and France the Russian ballerina is received with great trepidation, and two years later she suddenly appears at the Bolshoi.
Big
The appearance of a ballerina undesirable at the Mariinsky Theater in the main theater of Russian ballet immediately becomes surrounded by gossip. Successful employment is associated with two things at once: male names. The famous sports philanthropist Anzori Aksentiev, whose acquaintance the ballerina still denies, allegedly had a hand in “arranging” his protégé into the very famous theater peace.
The second name associated with Volochkova’s appearance at the Bolshoi is Yuri Grigorovich. She quickly became his favorite. The friendship between the choreographer and the ballerina lasted for many years.
In the same year 2000, the ballerina participates in the prestigious Austrian festival and receives the Golden Lion there, which gives her the right to be called the most talented ballerina in Europe. After the festival she toured, and when she returned to the Bolshoi she suddenly stopped getting roles.
The new management of the theater is opposed to her. Not only did Volochkova begin to be artificially pushed aside, but completely tactless gossip and ridicule immediately appeared around her name.
Scandal
Despite the fact that theater experts claimed that Volochka had recognition, and that it was “her” who went to performances, the theater management declared the ballerina unfit for professional duties. First of all, they didn’t like her height and weight - supposedly she was too tall and heavy for a ballerina. Anastasia's height is 171 cm, weight varies from 50 to 55 kg. For comparison: the recognized prima of Russian ballet Maya Plisetskaya weighed from 49 to 58 kg with a height of 167 cm.
Behind the scenes, the story of “Volochkova being too big” was picked up. Gossips they sent the ballerina to be a swimmer and sympathized with Anastasia’s partners, they say, how can they carry someone like that?
The offended ballerina sued the management of the Bolshoi. The litigation lasted for several years, as a result of which the court sided with Anastasia, obliging the Bolshoi to return her to her place in the troupe. As moral damages for her offended dignity, the ballerina asked for one ruble and, of course, did not remain in the Bolshoi troupe.
British
Ballerinas have always been patronized by millionaires. This rule turned out to be true for Anastasia Volochkova. At first, her appearance at the Bolshoi was associated with the name of Anzori Aksentyev. Then her appearance at the English National Ballet (where she danced the role in Sleeping Beauty) - with the name of British millionaire Anthony Kerman.
Kerman, according to rumors, even abandoned his family in order to love the Russian beauty unhindered. He was fascinated by her stretch and green eyes, followed the ballerina on her heels, threw armfuls of white roses at her feet and invariably declared his love.
In addition to romantic surprises, Kerman undertook to manage Anastasia’s affairs. The famous fine connoisseur of ballet was welcomed in the best theaters a world where he was easily able to negotiate tours for his protégé.
However, Anastasia denies having a relationship with the British man. She says that he is just her “lawyer” who helps to conduct business. Calls their relationship friendly. Anastasia will call her lovers friends more than once - always with an invariable soft smile and a naive look, confirming her unearthly origin.
Oligarchs
The ballerina has a reason to deny everything. In the early 2000s, just when Kerman was arranging it professional life, Volochkova tried to arrange her personal life. Oligarch Suleiman Kerimov drew attention to her. Nastya was captivated not only by the charisma of the famous businessman, but also by his broad gestures. The man did not hesitate to pamper his beloved.
However, after two years the relationship ended. Anastasia says that the breakup was her willful decision and connects the scandal at the Bolshoi with the man’s revenge. According to other sources, the Kerimov family did not like Volochkova. In particular, Suleiman's parents believed that this relationship had a bad effect on their son's attention to business.
In 2005, Volochkova, who never married, gives birth to her first child, daughter Ariadna, and two years later her father, businessman Igor Vdovin, agrees to a luxurious wedding ceremony. The event becomes social, the ballerina sews several dresses and holds several weddings.
Photo shoots, videos, happy faces of lovers... only after breaking up with Vdovin, lonely Nastya admits on the “Let's Get Married” program that she never got married - the wedding with Igor was just beautiful holiday, not related to official registration.
Another high-profile romance with an oligarch, which the ballerina boasted about, began in 2013. This time, the head of the oil transportation company, Bakhtiyar Salimov, was next to her. After a short time, she admitted to her followers on Instagram that she was leaving her lover.
Many will agree modern ballet– this is art for the “chosen few”. But the grace of the performers, the effectiveness of the production and the amazing sublimity of feelings cannot leave anyone indifferent.
