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 production of “Swan Lake” in 1994, performed by the Swan Princess. Then Anastasia gradually began to play more than one main role(“Kosar”, “Giselle”, “Firebird”, “Raymonda” 1998).

Already in 2000, Nastya received the title of the most talented ballerina in Europe and took the desired “Golden Lion” into her hands.

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 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 great 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 sport 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 big problems in the theater, according to rumors it was the revenge of a 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 classes ex-husband yoga was also prevented by a married 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.

For this period of time, the celebrity is hiding his personal relationships. What can't be said about her frank,

Today, when about many show business stars who are 40+ they say “time has no power over them” or “they know a secret eternal youth", 42-year-old ballerina Anastasia Volochkova was completely unlucky. Alas, she only hears criticism about her appearance, and rightly so!

It would seem that if you spend most of your life in training and rehearsals, sit on strict diets (ballet, after all!), love baths and have the opportunity to use the best cosmetics, then it’s in your hands not only to turn back time, but to be an example for everyone those around...

But apparently something went wrong...

And if you also remember that the “young” Tina Kandelaki and the luxurious Yana Rudkovskaya are the same age as Volochkova (they are 43 years old), one of these days the charming Svetlana Bondarchuk will turn fifty dollars, and the eternally young Sofia Rotaru has turned 72, then it becomes scary how A Russian ballerina will look like this in 10 years!

1. Mid-90s. It's all just beginning...

2. Photos that you can’t take your eyes off!

3. 2001 Love pink eye shadow and pink lipstick!

5. It’s good that there were pictures left, otherwise we wouldn’t have believed that the ballerina once looked like this...

6. Calm down - this is stage makeup!

7. In 2003, the irreparable happened - Anastasia Volochkova got her eyebrows tattooed!

8. Although, let's be honest - she is a hostage to the profession, and flashy makeup suited her!

9. But why did she stop washing her hair at all?

10. It seems that stage makeup has begun to “cross over” into everyday life...

11. So what if I didn’t have time to wash my hair. But I did attach a hairpiece!

12. Apparently, changing the eyebrow tattoo artist turned out to be a bad decision...

13. 2008. But Nastya was only 32!

14. It seems that she has already crossed the point of “no return”...

15. 10 years ago, the reason for ridicule of Anastasia was her eyebrows. Well, today - . By the way, have you seen them?

16. Over time, the ballerina’s inept makeup was compounded by a complete lack of sense of taste and style...

17. The effect (or not the effect?) of dirty hair is your favorite hairstyle!

18. Excess weight does not make a ballerina look good...

19. Who can figure out whether Anastasia Volochkova is in character for the sake of a performance or is this her everyday life?

22. By the way, she announced on Instagram that Anastasia went for hair extensions!

23. And under this post, subscribers called the 42-year-old ballerina a grandmother!

24. We were not ready for such a photo...

25. It’s true what they say, beauty is a terrible force!

Now the public associates Anastasia Volochkova with anything, but not serious classical ballet. the site decided to remember what the star looked like at the beginning of her stage career. And this start, by the way, was brilliant.

Nowadays, rare news related to Anastasia Volochkova can be read without an ironic smile. And in appearance she is so different from her colleagues that it becomes more and more difficult for even journalists to call this stately dancer a “ballerina” every year. But if you look back, you can find that Volochkova was one of the brightest (in in a good way) approximately the end of the 90s of the last century and the beginning of the “zero”.

Teachers of the St. Petersburg Academy of Russian Ballet, where future star stood on pointe shoes for the first time, they predicted a great and truly brilliant future for the capable student. Even the great Maya Plisetskaya appreciated the girl’s talent.

Therefore, it is not surprising that immediately in her second year Nastya joined the troupe Mariinsky Theater, and immediately took the position of leading ballerina and performed the main roles in such productions as “Giselle”, “Raymonda” and “Firebird”.

In 1998, choreographer Vladimir Vasiliev invited 22-year-old Anastasia Volochkova to Bolshoi Theater, dance the Swan Princess in his new production « Swan Lake" Yuri Grigorovich himself believed in the blond Petersburger, who approved her for leading roles in “Sleeping Beauty” and “La Bayadère.” And four years later, Anastasia, already in the status of prima of the main theater of the country, is awarded the prestigious international award in the field of ballet Benois de la Danse.

In parallel with work in Big star starts and solo career. However, then even the emerging conflict with the management seemed to Volochkova something frivolous - she was applauded in Paris and London, and choreographer Derek Dean from the English national ballet especially for Russian star composes new image Fairies Carabosse from the ballet "Sleeping Beauty".

Anastasia Volochkova was also the face of the jewelry brand Chopard.

Moreover, participants line up to receive a kiss from the Bolshoi Bolshoi Theater prima Forbes rating, including Sergei Polonsky, Vyacheslav Leibman and Suleiman Kerimov, with whom she dated (despite the fact that the billionaire, of course, was married) for 2.5 years. Later, Volochkova associated her dismissal from Bolshoi with Kerimov’s personal revenge. But the ex-director of the theater, Anatoly Iskanov, argued that the whole point was in the changed dimensions of the artist - in his opinion, she had gained weight unforgivably for a ballerina, and she often began to prefer numerous rehearsals social events and a talk show, where the girl was regularly invited.

Thanks to Twitter for this! From correspondence between Anastasia Volochkova and fans:
Nastya you look great! how many flowers do you have!!! This is my joy Miss SmolSU starts right now! Maybe @volochkova_a should have been invited to the jury?) But would she agree?) I would agree! And my Zhorzhik is a copy of Dorotheus, do you agree? Zhorzhik Volochkov is a star, he stands and poses freely in front of the camera, journalists love him. no, you definitely have the original! I agree! Today turned out to be a day at home.. I slept through everything. I studied at home. I’m going to the bathhouse. I broke the ice in the bathtub with an axe... how courageous you are! I wouldn't have the courage! Do you really rarely get sick? Still, hardening is what you need I can't do otherwise. This is part of my life. Nastya, thank you for not being a snob! It's incredibly nice to receive answers from you. I respect you even more, she didn’t answer me... But I didn’t ask anything! I just admire her! :) Anastasia, thank you so much for existing!!! You make an amazing impression and charge with positivity!!! I'm pleased
I remind you! I warn you, Volochkova talks about sex next, hellish hell, hard trash; faint of heart, tired of Onostasea, stretching, legs better go out. Excerpts from an interview in 2009 (October for FHM): What data did you lack to enter ballet school? There are more than enough of them now: long stretches, high leg raises, jumps, turnouts. What is eversion? That's all that's wrong figure skating. Which is more suitable for ballet or sex. Tell me, does ballet stretching help with sex? She is uniquely helpful! And for both men and women. You can roll over from your back to your stomach without taking it out. But in sports you can’t have sex before competitions... No, no, in ballet it’s not like that. The more you do, the lighter you feel. After sex, my legs are very light. And when it happens, excuse me, ..... it is always visible both on stage and on the sports field Does sex happen between scene partners? Certainly! Music, dance, general atmosphere... It’s good if it happens beautifully and sincerely. You can just re......, which also happens. And in large theaters and between partners of the same sex, which is more interesting.
Do they take ballet classes with bow legs? Now they take anyone. You can dance with them, but you can’t look at it. Where did the rumors about your excess weight come from? One of the reasons for my dismissal was stated to be that I was big and fat. So that the director would not look like a ridiculous idiot, I was assigned 12 cm in height and 10 extra kilos. Have you ever been dropped on stage? Yes, but not often.

Do you seriously love all these leaves, salads and spinach?
Spinach stewed in milk and sprinkled with grated cheese is my favorite dish.
So what, you never want to eat a huge hamburger like this? I don't want to. When I imagine how this hamburger falls into my stomach, I don’t feel like eating at all. A lot of people are discussing your personal life... Great! Many ballerinas have events in their lives similar to mine. Birth of children, wedding, divorce, illness. But for some reason they are discussing me. This means that people are interested in my personality. It's such a thrill! I honestly and openly say that I love it. Don’t you think that everyone around you moves ugly at a disco? Yes, for the most part. How do ballerinas dance at discos? I don’t know about the others, but I always dance so fiery and bright that it’s impossible not to notice.
Do you receive indecent proposals from fans? They ask me: “Anastasia, can you be filmed?” And I say: “You can’t film me, you can only take a photograph.” Why do ballet dancers wear such tight tights? Well, so that the bells don't dangle. Is it true that they put something there? There, a special bandage is put on, almost like in boxers. But some put something in there. Do men in ballet have to shave their legs? I think that all men should do hair removal so that they don’t have to fumble around in the forest all the time.
Why do ballerinas wear so much makeup? You can't see anything from the hall. How is this not visible? Which row were you sitting in? And in general, few ballerinas have good looks, so a picture on their face will not hurt them. How can you recognize a ballerina among ordinary girls? And they walk backwards, like ducks, with their toes facing outward. Oh, I remembered the joke: “Girl, you’re not from college, not from Vaganovsky?” - “I’m not a bitch? I’m such a bitch!”
Do you have any rituals before going on stage? I have one number, “Esmeralda,” where I raise my leg 180 degrees and kick the tambourine 10 times. This is my ritual. What if you want to write during a performance? Either write or endure. Do you have to speak at corporate events? Very often. But I don't dance between tables in nightclubs while people are eating. It happened that they filmed for my program concert hall, small theater. There must be conditions.
Where are you going to unfamiliar city if you have time? To the Russian bathhouse, to the restaurant and to the church.


Why do you always look like you're on stage? Because I really love everything beautiful, bright, catchy. And it seems to me that this doesn’t make people any worse, but more interesting and enjoyable. Can Anastasia Volochkova be found in a robe and without makeup? I don’t even go to the store without makeup. In my youth, I wore light makeup, even when I went to the bathhouse. And I absolutely hate robes! I associate them with a psychiatric hospital. . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . Do you dress yourself or does a stylist help? Only herself. I even participate in the creation of my stage costumes.
What brands of clothing do you prefer? Roberto Cavalli, John Galliano, Issey Miyake and another store in London where I have been buying my crinkle silk capes for ten years. I just won’t tell you the address. Where does the habit of walking around with smoothly combed hair come from? I always rehearse with my hair tied in a ponytail. But in life I just take a shower five times a day, so it turns out that my hair is always wet. This has already become part of the image. When do you plan to give up ballet? If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans. I will dance as long as I look young and beautiful.


How do you feel about participating in explicit filming? I still have something to attract attention without taking my clothes off.
