The ex-lover of the famous ‘fat’ ballerina Anastasia Volochkova has been found dead inside his prison cell after she dumped him allegedly for being too poor.
Anastasia Volochkova became famous after she was sacked by the Bolshoi Ballet for being too fat and then won a court battle forcing them to reinstate her. She went on to become an online influencer.
But she drew criticism for apparently accidentally ‘helping’ Ukraine when complaining about a loud bang caused by an explosion from an apparent attack on a military base nearby on 30th May.
And now, her ex-lover, businessman Sergei Kuznetsov, 46, was found dead by a fellow inmate in the Matrosskaya Tishina detention centre, in Moscow.
Kuznetsov was apprehended after assaulting his current wife, causing her internal bleeding.
The cause of death is not yet known.
Anastasia and Kuznetsov had met during the TV programme ‘Let’s Get Married’ on the eve of 2022.
In the show, three men competed for Anastasia’s affection, including Kuznetsov, who was represented as the owner of the bathhouse complex.
The couple celebrated the New Year together and three days later they went on a dream holiday in the Maldives.
However, after returning from the trip, Anastasia left Kuznetsov after discovering that he had no money either for flowers or for a taxi to his beloved’s house, according to local media.
Previously, Anastasia was criticised for apparently helping Ukraine after she posted a video about the incident, she said: “Oh, good people, two hours ago I woke up from such terrible explosions. We have this military unit right next to us, right in Nikolo-Uryupino.”
She later deleted the video, but by then, it had already been widely shared.
On one telegram channel, she was thanked by a group that said they were able to work out exactly where the military base was.
They wrote: “Thanks to her data, we have established that Volochkova’s house is located at a distance of 1.5 km [0.9 miles] from the Russian military unit 11105-2 (engineering battalion, archive), stationed at the address: Moscow region, Inzhenerny-1.).”
In the past, Anastasia has been outspoken against the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 2014, and stated that, for her, Crimea would always be a part of Ukraine.
However, she apparently changed her mind and now supports Russia in the war in Ukraine.
