Ballerina Anastasia Volochkova is preparing a formal statement to police about a friend who released a private video featuring showman Nikita Dzhigurda. Life reports this development, noting that an official inquiry is being considered.
According to the publication, the former Bolshoi Theatre soloist intends to pursue charges under Article 137 of the Criminal Code, which covers the violation of confidentiality. An application will be filed soon to determine how the actions of the person involved should be classified and whether a criminal case should be opened.
Volochkova’s legal representative, Roman Popov, explained in an interview that the video was made and published by someone familiar with the dancer. The name of that person is not being disclosed. The motive appears to be retaliation, as the video was posted online without Volochkova’s consent. The individual is currently believed to be in the Baltic region.
Popov praised Volochkova as a generous person who has contributed significantly to the community, while noting that no one is without fault and asking readers to consider that no one is perfect.
A online clip surfaced showing Volochkova dancing with Dzhigurda to a song associated with a well-known Russian artist. The performance included moments where the dancer adjusted her attire and interacted closely with her partner in a way that drew public attention.
Earlier, reports indicated that Dzhigurda’s wife, Anisina, publicly expressed affection for her husband amid the controversy surrounding Volochkova.
The incident has sparked discussions about privacy, consent, and the impact of leaked media in the lives of public figures. Legal experts emphasize that protecting personal information remains a legal priority, and violations can carry serious consequences under confidentiality provisions. Observers note that the situation reflects broader concerns about digital responsibility and the protection of personal data in high-profile relationships. The case illustrates how intimate material, when shared without permission, can escalate into legal and reputational disputes for all parties involved. When such material surfaces, victims often pursue legal remedies to address harm and deter future breaches, while courts weigh the balance between freedom of expression and the right to privacy. This story continues to develop as authorities review the evidence and determine the appropriate course of action, with potential updates from official statements and court filings. (Life)
