BIOGRAPHY
Anastasia Stotskaya was born in Kyiv, in the family of an artist and a resuscitator.
Grandfather and grandmother on my mother’s side were also artists. From the age of 5, the girl studied dancing in the ensembles “Barvinochka” and “Kiyanochka” and actively toured. From an early age, Nastya knew that she wanted to become an actress. In 1993, the family moved from Kyiv to Moscow. At first they live in Mytishchi, in a simple working-class area. Elder brother Pavel entered GITIS in the acting department in 1994. Nastya sings in the choir. M.E. Pyatnitsky, visits the choreographic studio at the “Theater of the Moon” by S. Prokhanov. There, a year later, she successfully debuted in the children's pantomime play "Fanta-Infanta", where she plays five roles at once: fairies, gypsies, hussars, black stars and ballerinas. With this performance, Anastasia goes on her first tour of Russia.
After school, Stotskaya entered the RATI, where that year Sergei Prokhanov took an experimental course in the specialty “musical actor”. Already in her first year, the girl dyes her light brown hair red. As Anastasia admits, she just wanted to change her appearance a little and give herself individuality: “I went to the underground passage and bought the brightest paint. At that time I couldn’t go to the salon, I didn’t have that opportunity.”
At the age of 18, Anastasia plays Fleur-de-Lys in the musical “Notre Dame de Paris”, and it is this role that brings the girl popularity and love from the audience.

"CHICAGO"
2002 becomes a truly successful year for the actress. The musical “Lips” based on Nabokov’s novel “Camera Obscura” is being released on the stage of the “Theater of the Moon”, where Stotskaya plays the role of Magda Peters. At one of the premiere performances, Philip Kirkorov sees her, who was just then looking for a young actress to play the role of Roxie Hart in the musical “Chicago”. Kirkorov was so impressed by Stotskaya’s bright appearance, charisma, talent and voice that the issue of finding an actress was resolved. “Soon his director called me, said that they would be holding castings, and invited me to come to the office for a conversation with Kirkorov. I couldn’t even dream of this: Kirkorov would notice me, call me and begin to convince me to do everything to please American producers, because only they approve artists for roles. I left the office completely stunned. At home I read the libretto, listened to the music and... fell in love with the performance, with the magnificent music of John Kander. I've always loved jazz, and while my friends were into pop music, I listened to Liza Minnelli's songs. Between rehearsals at the theater and exams at the institute, I began going to castings. Without realizing the scale of what was happening, she danced, sang, and read monologues without much tension or excitement, easily moving from one round to another. And it was approved,” recalls Anastasia.
Brilliantly performing the role of Roxie Hart in the musical "Chicago", Stotskaya received high marks from critics and won the love of the audience. They especially noted Anastasia’s amazing organic nature in the performance, her excellent vocals and bright appearance. After the project is closed, Kirkorov enters into a 5-year contract with her, and they begin to work together: they go on tour, record joint compositions, and shoot videos. According to Anastasia, the acting profession fades into the background during this period. The singer wins the “New Wave” in Jurmala, records several songs for her debut album. She is actively invited to participate in photo shoots for Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Maxim, Playboy, Harper's Bazaar and Officiel.
Creation
Having completed the first course, Nastya turns into a red-haired diva. Studying at the Academy runs parallel to creativity on the theater stage. While visiting the Academy, Nastya was successfully selected for auditions. She plays in an American musical and a domestic one called “Lips.” The actress shines in this musical.
The singer was immediately chosen by the producer for the role of Fleur-de-Lys in the musical Notre Dame de Paris. Philip Kirkorov, invited to the premiere of the musical “Lips,” immediately sees Anastasia as Rosty Hart, the main character of the musical “Chicago.” The press after the premiere of the musical “Chicago” spoke of Stotskaya as the most talented actress of this genre. She is called the best Roxy Hart in the world.

As a result of such active creative activity, Anastasia misses classes at the institute; she has no time to prepare for her graduation performance. At the same time, she faces expulsion. But then the decision is made to take the performance in the musical “Chicago” as a final exam. Nastya is writing her solo album with the support of Philip Kirkorov.
In 2003, Nastya Stotskaya graduated from the Academy. Philip Kirkorov actively supports her: he recommends the repertoire, advises how to behave and communicate with the public. He offers Nastya his production. Nastya simply bursts into the International Competition “New Wave”. At the same time, Kirkorov actively promotes her, as a result of which the girl wins.
And then there is a scandal and a break in relations with Kirkorov. The reason is the posted photos from a party where a girl smokes marijuana with her friends. The photo shows that she is “high”; the girl’s breasts are slightly exposed. Kirkorov is outraged and calls Nastya’s parents.

Two years later, the resentment on both sides passed, and Anastasia made peace with her producer. When the film “Love in the City” was being filmed, Philip invited the girl to the video he created for this film. The song “Just Give Me” became the hit of the season. This joint video showed the society about the reconciliation of talented people. Nastya appears in episode 2 as the main character.
NEW ROLES
After a short break, Anastasia returns to the theater stage. In 2008, Stotskaya played in the play “The Big Zebra”, and in 2009 she received the main role in the play “Nameless Star”.
The singer is collaborating with musicals again. In 2010, the premiere of the musical “Zorro” took place on the MDM stage, in which Anastasia played the role of the red-haired gypsy Ines.
At the same time, Stotskaya plays Sally Bowles in the famous “Cabaret”. Viewers and critics immediately begin to compare the singer with Liza Minnelli, even noting the external similarity of the two actresses. Anastasia herself emphasizes: “When working on the role, I come more from myself. All actresses have different organics, and each sets his own task, individually based on his texture and nature. Sally has been played by many actresses. Of course, everyone who watched the film with Liza Minnelli will always compare the actresses playing this role with her, because this is a cult movie, and comparisons occur involuntarily. I try not to play Liza Minnelli, but to imagine myself in the given circumstances, that’s how I approach all roles.”
In 2014, Anastasia Stotskaya
, thereby reviving the very first “golden line-up” of performers. And in October 2015, the premiere of the musical “Singing in the Rain” took place, in which. As Stotskaya later admitted, this role was long-awaited for her. “Lina is a bright, characteristic character, her image has many facets - she is luxurious and at the same time funny, hysterical and yet touching, sweet, wonderful. I hope that in this production I will reveal myself in a new way - first of all, my role is dramatic. I don’t sing or dance, with the exception of one funny number where Lina hums off the notes while alone in the dressing room. But no role has ever made me so happy!” - notes the singer.
Anastasia Stotskaya now
Literally three months after the birth of her daughter, Anastasia announced that very soon it would be possible to see her at the Moscow “Theater of the Moon”, where the premiere of the musical “The Seagull” based on the play of the same name by Anton Chekhov would take place. She will play the role of Arkadina, and Treplev will be played by Nikita Presnyakov, the son of Vladimir Presnyakov.
Also in 2020, Stotskaya recorded a duet with singer Edgar called “Two Rings.”
And in May 2020, news appeared on the Internet that the singer had become a victim of Internet scammers. She decided to purchase a bag and sneakers from Louis Vuitton via the Internet, transferred 140 thousand rubles, as it turned out, to the scammers’ card, but never received the goods.
MOVIE
In 2003, the singer made her screen debut. She plays the role of Suzanne in the musical television film “Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro,” where Philip Kirkorov becomes her partner. With the participation of Anastasia, the films “Days of an Angel”, “Nine Months”, “The Jester and Venus”, “Love in the Big City 2” were released.
Anastasia Stotskaya actively acts in television films. In 2010, she appears in the New Year's episode of the TV series "Matchmakers", and after that every year she takes part in the filming of fairy tales, traditionally aired on December 31 on the Russia 1 TV channel: "Aladdin's New Year's Adventures", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Three Heroes" .
Career, music
Soon the casting for the musical “Notre Dame de Paris” was announced. The producers who came to select the actors immediately liked Anastasia Stotskaya. Philip Kirkorov was invited to the musical where the singer played. He was fascinated by the voice and charm of the young actress, and gave her the main role in his musical. Soon, “Chicago” began to create problems in my studies, and I had to miss lectures. This was already the last year, and the musical was counted as the graduate’s thesis.
After the anniversary performance of “Chicago” played for the hundredth time, Philip Bedrosovich made Anastasia Stotskaya an offer for a solo career. He himself volunteered to be its producer. This commonwealth became successful. The “New Wave” of Jurmala brought the girl her first victory. The singer performed compositions that immediately went to the people. Along the way, the aspiring singer, together with her producer, released a solo album and shot a video clip. The songs take first place in the charts.
Anastasia Stotskaya’s song “Rivers of Vienna” brought her the Golden Gramophone and an invitation to the Song of the Year.
The singer spent a whole year on tour; during this period, Anastasia had almost 300 concerts. The popular, beautiful girl starred in almost all men's magazines. Each new composition quickly found its audience. Anastasia Stotskaya took part in the selection for Eurovision. Kirkorov considered himself responsible for Anastasia, therefore, as soon as a scandal broke out in the press around the name of Anastasia Stotskaya, he immediately contacted her parents by phone. For a week, journalists relished the “hot” news that the singer allegedly uses drugs (smokes grass). Nastya did not like this interference, and she stopped communicating with her producer. This lasted two years.
Soon, as a sign of reconciliation, both (Stotskaya and Kirkorov) starred in the video for the film “Love in the Big City.” Anastasia Stotskaya can be seen in the frame in the second part. And the singer starred as an actress in two more TV series. The girl is often shown on television. Either she is at the “Parade of Stars”, or in the “One to One” project. And Yulia Menshova performed as a guest. In the fourth season of the show “One to One,” viewers again saw their favorite singer among the participants. Nastya was a star expert in “Fashionable Sentence”. She always provided assistance to star manufacturers, sang with them (with Alexander Kireev, Prokhor Chaliapin).
PERSONAL LIFE
Anastasia Stotskaya dated for quite a long time with actor Alexei Sekirin, known to the general public from the sitcom “Happy Together”. After their separation, various information about Anastasia’s novels began to appear in the press, including relationships with Philip Kirkorov and her partner in the show “Dancing with the Stars” Alexei Ledenev.
Now the singer is married to restaurateur Sergei; on July 16, 2011, the couple had a son, Alexander. Despite such a young age, the boy is already learning Chinese and training in a football team. The singer approaches the issue of raising a child very carefully: “You need to be able to talk to a child. If you don’t like his behavior, explain that you can’t do that, it’s unpleasant for mom and it upsets her. The child must be respected and protected from danger, and not become the source of it.”
CHARITY
Anastasia is actively involved in charity work. She takes part in fundraising events for the treatment of sick children and helps people in need.
On November 20, 2008, the singer participated in the “Give Warmth to Children” campaign, during which she stood behind the cash register at the McDonald’s restaurant on Pushkinskaya Square. All proceeds were donated to create “family rooms” in hospitals.
And in December 2020, a masquerade was held at the MDM Theater, in which many stars of domestic show business took part, including Anastasia Stotskaya. The masks that famous people wore at the event were sold at an online auction, and the money received for them was transferred to help children under the care of the Gift of Life foundation.
INTERVIEW
ANASTASIA STOTSKAYA ABOUT HERSELF:
“My scandalous reputation is greatly exaggerated, people see me on screen and think that I am the same in life. But I have been very modest since childhood. I remember I was nine or ten years old and our family still lived in Kyiv. I studied dancing in the Kiyanochka ensemble. And so, when they wanted to make me a soloist of this ensemble, I flatly refused because I was afraid. Mom tried to persuade me, and I told her: “Mom, I’d rather stand in the second line.” I still have doubt, uncertainty, some kind of fear. I don't know what this is connected with. My mother always told me: “You are my most beautiful, most talented, my star,” but I still doubted it. After the “New Wave” in 2003, where I won the Grand Prix, I remember performing somewhere with Philip Kirkorov. And he announced to me from the stage: “Meet a Russian pop star...” And I stood behind the scenes and thought: God, what a star?!”
ABOUT MEN:
“It doesn’t matter whether he is of the same profession or not, the main thing is that the man loves you. And if he really wants to be with you, he will understand you, forgive you, and adapt, just like a woman. I also adapt to him (my husband - editor's note), I know that it is better for him not to tell him what annoys him. This is an adjustment; it is impossible to find the ideal person so that he is perfect in all your parameters. In principle, I didn’t want my husband to be from the artistic world, because for me a male artist is a closed topic. I believe that this is not a man's profession. Such men are very self-centered; next to him there should be a woman “for him” who will live only his life. Otherwise nothing will work.”
ABOUT HOW HE SPENDS HIS FREE TIME:
“I like to take care of myself: massages, spas, manicures, pedicures, shopping. I like to read, watch movies, meet with girlfriends. It’s very rare that I feel so tired that I would lie down on the couch and just look at the ceiling. But, as a rule, this never happens, because it seems to me that no, something needs to be done. A second wind immediately opens. When there is really free time in some large block, then, of course, we go on vacation at the seaside, and there is simply a holy thing - to eat delicious food, drink good wine, eat fruit, lie in the sun, swim, sunbathe and do nothing. But this also makes you tired. Everything should be in moderation".
