Her father, Yuri Fedorovich, is a master of sports in table tennis, an international class athlete and the first champion Soviet Union in table tennis. Her mother, Tamara Vladimirovna Antonova, worked as an engineer at the design institute of the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg.
Anastasia’s mother loved and was passionate about the history of her native town, she completed guide courses and often led and organized interesting walks around the city, telling visitors all the beauties of Russia.
Volochkova with her parents
Anastasia Yuryevna is very grateful to her parents for bringing her into sports, supporting her and always believing in her. They instilled in her hard work, determination, love for her own work, steely endurance and patience. WITH early childhood little Anastasia loved to dance, and even then her parents noticed this and took their preference for their only daughter very seriously.
Anastasia awoke a strong passion for ballet after visiting the ballet “The Nutcracker” by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Coming out of the Mariinsky Theater, she understood what type of activity she wanted to connect her life with; the production itself made a very big impression on Anastasia. After this, the girl definitely told her parents that she liked ballet and saw herself as a ballerina in the future. She made this decision at the age of five and in 1992, already a teenager with an established character and decided life goals, the girl decided to enter the Academy of Russian Ballet named after A. Ya. Vaganova in St. Petersburg, and this is one of the oldest ballet schools in the world.
The future ballet dancer remembers the days of the entrance exams; she compares it to cardiac arrest under the gaze of strict jury members sitting in the academy’s admissions committee. But no matter how scared the girl was, she walked with a clear intention to act and fulfill her main childhood dream. The entrance tests were easy for her, but the respected members of the jury did not like the performance, and they considered her as an untalented girl and they assured young Anastasia that she would not succeed in a ballet career. But, fortunately, the very famous Russian choreographer Sergeev Konstantin Mikhailovich influenced the girl’s fate.
World famous Russian ballerina Anastasia Volochkova
But the artist always recalls in her interviews that the teachers mocked and bullied her, while her classmates, on the contrary, sympathized with her. And for the teaching staff she was an outcast. But after some time, Natalya Mikhailovna Dudinskaya drew attention to the aspiring ballet diva; she is a very famous teacher at ballet schools around the world. And it was thanks to her that she graduated from the ballet academy with honors. The final exam was held at the Mariinsky Theater, where Anastasia Yuryevna played the main role of Odette - Odile in the production of Swan Lake; it was this performance that became the first serious debut in the girl’s career.
Volochkova worked for four years at the Russian temple of arts - the Mariinsky Theater, and over these years, she successfully produced several of the most enchanting performances. “The Sleeping Beauty”, “Don Quixote”, “Giselle” - those very difficult, but unsurpassably beautiful performances made an impression on the theater audience. The ballerina herself admitted that this period was very difficult for her, and she faced many troubles, squabbles, slander and intrigue behind her back. Ultimately, Volochkova was simply forced out of all performances and suspended from work.
Ballerina career
Anastasia graduated from the A. Ya. Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg with honors and was one of the exemplary students. Then she joined the Mariinsky Theater Group, where she worked until 1988. She performed the most spectacular productions there and had considerable experience for her future career. Also over these years, she experienced the first squabbles and intrigues among her colleagues; at that moment the young artist was removed from all concerts and left without work.
And already in 1988, Vladimir Vasiliev made Volochkova a rather tempting offer; he invited her to the Bolshoi Theater. He saw her the main character in his original production of “Swan Lake”. She did not refuse Vasiliev for such a chance, and after the director’s original performance, she subsequently performed only in leading roles. Her favorite productions were “The Sleeping Beauty” and “La Bayadère”; during these debuts she had the honor of meeting and working with Yuri Grigorovich.
Ballerina Anastasia Volochkova
At the beginning of the new century, in 2000, she decided to leave the Bolshoi Theater, but was asked to return more than once, but she returned only once in 2001 at the request of Grigorovich himself to participate in the production of Swan Lake. The press learned that a philanthropist arranged for the honored ballerina to join the Moscow ballet Anzori Aksentiev, with whom she had a relationship. He helped her in everything and fully provided for her, often showered her with expensive gifts and took her to best resorts, and after some time she left him. And after the couple’s separation, Volochkova denies all the facts about him, and says that they are even strangers.
Prima ballet Volochkova
Already in 2000, Anastasia Volochkova went to a competition in Austria, where she won the Golden Lion award and was awarded as the most talented ballerina in Europe. After the award she was invited to perform at leading role performance of "The Sleeping Beauty" in London, at the English National Ballet. And there the ballet prima met another benefactor - millionaire Anthony Kerman, then he held the official post of vice-president of the English National Ballet. For the sake of the best ballerina in the world, he left his family with children, with whom he lived for more than 8 years.
One of Volochkova’s thousands of twines
Already in 2002, Anastasia Volochkova was awarded the highest degree of award and given the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. And in the spring of 2002 she was awarded the most famous and well-deserved prize in the world of ballet “BenoisdelaDanse”, as the best dancer of our time.
Back in 1992, this prize was established by the noble Yuri Grigorovich, he is called Volochkova’s patron. At the time of presentation of the award, unexpectedly unpleasant words were heard from the audience addressed to the woman and screams "A shame!", the identity of the rowdies could not be established, but the mood was ruined for both the ballerina and those around her.
In 2003, a scandal spread throughout the Russian Federation that the Bolshoi Theater refused to sign a contract with a noble ballet prima. They also said the reason for the refusal; it was all about Anastasia’s high demands, which were not at all suitable for the ballet group. And further CEO the capital's theater announced to the whole world that she was professionally unsuitable for dancing, with her height of 171 cm, her weight was not stable, but constantly fluctuated from 50 to 55 kilograms, and such an increase in weight is very significant for an international class ballerina. Her colleagues openly told her: “Based on her body type, she would be better off as a swimmer.” After troubles and many intrigues and other very unpleasant situations, she left the ballet troupe in 2003 and decided to pursue solo performances and projects.
In 2004, Volochkova began performing in Grigorovich’s troupe at the Krasnodar Ballet Theater, and there she became a prima ballerina. In the fall of the same year, she was invited to participate as an actress, to which she happily agreed and starred in the film “A Place in the Sun.” Already in 2005 she was noticed in the film "Black Prince", and in 2005-2006 she played the role of a model in the very popular TV series “Don’t Be Born Beautiful.” Also in 2006, she was recognized as People's Artist of Karachay-Cherkessia. And in 2009 she wrote a book about her life and career path. It was called “The History of a Russian Ballerina”, it was released with a circulation of ten thousand and sold out in a few days.

For four years, Volochkova received a variety of roles, including leading roles. As the ballerina herself later said, her career at the Mariinsky Theater was not easy for her. The young dancer had to learn what meanness and weaving intrigues are in the theatrical sphere. The work conflict reached such proportions that Volochokova eventually decided to party and was completely left without any work.
In 1998, the ballerina, at the suggestion of Vladimir Vasiliev, moved to Moscow. There she showed herself in the popular and important production "Swan Lake", which was staged at the capital's Bolshoi Theater. The creative group really liked the dancer’s work, so she continued to work there.
Unofficial information indicates that a native of St. Petersburg got into the Bolshoi Theater thanks to the connections of businessman Anzori Aksentyev. Allegedly, he was Volochkova’s patron. The dancer herself never confirmed the fact of meeting and communicating with the entrepreneur.

Personal life
Any novel by Anastasia Volochkova is the subject of discussion in the press and in social networks. Herself great love became a rich man named Suleiman Kerimov. The businessman literally gave the dancer gifts, bought real estate, expensive jewelry, and flew with her on vacation. Volochkova even received an offer to become his next wife, because this is permitted by faith. However, here the ballerina wanted to be the only one. The couple finally separated in 2003.
In 2005, Anastasia Volochkova became a mother for the first time. Her daughter Ariandna was born in one of the capital's maternity hospitals. The girl's father was entrepreneur Alexander Vdovin. In 2007, a luxurious wedding took place between a businessman and a ballerina. However, a year later it turned out that it was just a magnificent event, and in fact the couple did not document their relationship.
In 2013, Volochkova began dating oil businessman Bakhtiyar Salimov. The couple met in Vladivostok when the ballerina was on tour. The romance lasted only one year.
At the beginning of 2018, the media announced the name of the ballerina’s new lover. He became an ordinary programmer Mikhail Loginov. Volochkova insisted that she didn’t care what kind social status for a man, the main thing is his attitude towards her. However, the relationship did not work out here either; by the summer of 2018, the couple was no longer together.
Not so long ago Anastasia Volochkova made frank confession that she is in love and has been in a relationship for three months.
According to Volochkova, her new chosen one- a wealthy man who showers her with gifts and lives not far from her house.
Anastasia constantly hides the face of her new lover, explaining that “happiness loves silence.”
But she probably does this for another reason, because she has something to hide.
A certain young woman managed to identify Volochkova’s new lover as her common-law husband. She recognized some of his personal belongings from the photographs posted by the ballerina and she had no doubt that it was him.
A post shared by (@volochkova_art) on Dec 3, 2018 at 12:02pm PST
And the name of this mysterious suitor of the ballerina is Malik, he is a native of Chechnya and not a “businessman” at all, he works as the head of security at a spa salon, where the ballerina often relaxes.
His ex common-law wife stated that they had been together for 10 years and just had a fight.
She is going to show Volochkova their love correspondence.
“My man is sleeping with Volochkova. I saw that he had an Instagram and went from this page. He was signed to Volochkova, there I saw all of him: socks, belt. She hides him, doesn’t show her face. But I recognize my man. She goes to Novakhov Spa, and he lives there permanently, so we met. He is the head of security there. In the photo she signs "M". His name is Malik, he is Chechen. I want to take revenge on him. We were together for 10 years. Later I will send her our correspondence, where he writes that he misses her. We didn’t see him, we had a quarrel,” the woman said.

A couple of months ago, Volochkova announced that she had found a new lover. Again. Then she started kind of joking, “I’m Chechen now, haha.” Then I started taking pictures in Muslim clothes wedding dress in all corners of your house and in every possible way hint at fast wedding. (Painting "Volochkova and the Tsar" - separate topic).
By the way, Anastasia immediately explained that her new chosen one is “a businessman, a European,” his name begins with “M” and in translation means “king.” People in the know said: this is how the Chechen name Malik is translated. Plastic flip-flops in the snow and invariably striped socks, however, were somewhat inconsistent with His Imperial Majesty.
The Chechen version was also supported by the fact that Vdovin, Volochkova’s former partner, immediately moved their common teenage daughter in with him. Scared for the child, apparently. A whole house of Caucasians, a drunken mother and one unprotected girl in the middle of this den - it’s scary. The ballerina herself complained on television that her daughter did not find a common language with her beloved. And no wonder.
It is unlikely that a teenage girl would be interested in watching the bacchanalia.
The ballerina does not hide her charms from neighbors, servants, or subscribers.
But he shows the conditional Malik in parts. Keeps the intrigue. First he posts photos: look, look carefully! And then he sits on the stairs for hours and scolds his subscribers for watching. “Why are you interfering in my life!” - the ballerina declares pathetically, wringing her hands, and posting more and more photos of her life.
Limbs are a priority.
Very quickly, some woman showed up and began to reproach Volochkova - from her house, they say, a crowd of Chechens regularly broadcasts live and all the “brothers” laugh at the tipsy ballerina. A certain common-law wife of Malik also showed up. StarHit quotes her:
After this, it was not difficult for journalists to identify the mysterious king-guard:
In other people’s stories, they also began to glimpse signs of Anastasia’s communication with the Tsar. Here she is in Krasnodar, contacting him via video.
Here are shots from a nightclub - Anastasia’s companion, whom she grabs by the hand, has the same belt with which she once flashed the Tsar.
Well, yesterday blogger Anton Dudkov showed Volochkova’s “new man” - Anton met his wife New Year in a tavern where Volochkova performed. The king was on hand. (There are more videos in stories, I show the main ones).
In general, advice and love. Anastasia says that her boyfriend’s beauty “could make you go blind.” She does not hide that she would like to have a child with him and believes that if this happens, “it will be the most beautiful person in the world." One thing is not clear: why is Anastasia hiding her beloved this time, if usually she turns everything inside out, showing every man of the month? A mystery.
