November 2, 2022 became a dark day for fans of the duo Artik & Asti. Artem Umrikhin said that his paths with Anna Dzyuba diverged. In an interview with Ksenia Sobchak, the singer confirmed the words of her former partner. On November 26, it became known that Arktik had found a new Asti. On January 7, 2022, a farewell film dedicated to the duo was released. And on January 14, Anna Asti presented her first solo track “Phoenix” and a video for it. Let's tell you what happened in one of the most popular Russian groups.
Best songs: not only “Sad Dance”

Photo: instagram.com/artik In 2010, Ukrainian producer, performer and composer Artem Umrikhin decided to create a new project for which a vocalist was needed. On the Internet, he came across a post by Anna Dzyuba, to whom he offered cooperation. The first song of the new group Artik & Asti (“Arctic and Asti”) - “Antistress” was recorded in Kyiv. First, the duo became famous in Ukraine, and then they began to learn about it in Russia. Their second album, “Here and Now,” was released in our country, which contained the hits “I won’t give it to anyone,” “You can do anything,” and more.
Artik & Asti included the track “Sad Dance” in the first echelon of performers, which premiered in 2022. This was a feat with Artem Kacher. You remember the chorus: “To the sad dance I let go of our love. Only here will I dance all my pain. Like in the web of a big network, you crumble in memory.” After “Sad Dance,” the dance floors shook with “Under Hypnosis,” “Girl, Dance,” and “Hysterical.” As of November 2 , 2021, several of the duo’s songs are in various charts. All the more surprising was the news of its collapse.
Anna Dzyuba (Asti) before and after plastic surgery: Instagram tuning in action
Just recently, this simple girl from a small Ukrainian town posted not very professional videos on YouTube and was convinced that without connections and money she would not achieve success. Today her name is known far beyond the country's borders: in just a few years, the aspiring singer Anna Dzyuba turned into an idol of millions, becoming the beautiful half of the popular duet Artik & Asti. Her compositions top iTunes, and two of her three albums went platinum in Russia.
Career growth was accompanied by external changes. The transformation from an unknown chubby into an attractive show business star was followed by thousands of fans, because Anna-Asti is not at all shy about using the services of plastic surgeons and talks about it in detail on her Instagram, where she now has more than a million followers. What kind of operations helped Dziuba get rid of his very ordinary appearance and the complexes associated with it? We compare photos before and after plastic surgery, and find out all the secrets of creating an impeccable stage image:
↑ How to get into showbiz without money and connections?
- Birthday: June 24, 1990
- Height: 175 cm. Weight: 55 kg.
- Parameters: 90-63-93, bust size: 2
The future star was born in the city of Cherkassy, and already from childhood she felt her creative potential: she came up with skits and staged performances, demonstrated “fashion shows” and organized singing concerts, which were watched with pleasure first by parents, friends and neighbors, and then by teachers and classmates.
At the age of 17, the girl wrote her first full-length song, filmed it and posted it on the Internet. The video collected many views and likes, however, Dziuba did not take it seriously. After graduating from school, she received a higher legal education and began working in her specialty - although from time to time she still recorded and posted new demos.
It was thanks to this that the talented girl was found by the already quite famous producer Artem Umrikhin, who collaborated with Dzhigan, Ivan Dorn, Anna Sedokova and other stars. In 2012, Dziuba became a soloist in his new project, which was called “Artik & Asti” and turned out to be very successful: just a year later, the talented guys collected the first million views for their new video, in 2015 their second album received platinum status version of “Yandex.Music”, and in 2017 the famous “Number 1” was released, which instantly took the first place in iTunes and caused a real resonance among fans.
Today Artik and Asti can already be called real “sharks” of Russian show business. Tickets for their concerts are instantly sold out, and the vocalists invariably attract full houses. Success is confirmed by many awards from almost all national music awards, including Muz-TV, Zhara, Insta Awards, VK Music, Major League, Golden Gramophone and many others.
At the same time, Anna, like many stars of the second half of the 2010s, is trying to convert her popularity into additional income. She has already opened two beauty salons in Moscow called Asti Beauty Bureau and launched her own clothing line, Selfmade. How successful these projects are is unknown, however, the girl constantly emphasizes in her interviews that she devotes a lot of time and effort to the business.
↑ Why does the singer hide her personal life?
But Anna Dziuba’s relationships with men remain behind the scenes of her public activities. It is known that in 2015 the singer met with a certain young man, as evidenced by their common photos on social networks. The serious relationship lasted more than two years, however, at the end of 2017, the girl admitted in an interview on Love Radio that she had a painful breakup, which she tried to hide from prying eyes.
Now the star is in a new relationship, in her words “harmonious and happy,” but she is in no hurry to show her chosen one to the public. From what Anna said in an interview, it is known that the couple rarely sees each other due to the artist’s constant employment. Starting a family and having children is also not planned yet - in order not to ruin Asti’s career in show business.
↑ What plastic surgeries did Anna Dzyuba perform?
Despite the fact that our heroine is naturally extremely pretty, from childhood she was haunted by complexes about her own appearance. And as soon as such an opportunity arose, Asti began to work hard on how she looked. So zealously that today there is no trace left of that Anya Dziuba from the small town of Cherkassy, who in 2010 began to take her first timid steps in show business.
Of course, this could not have happened without the help of plastic surgeons. The star does not hide this: she spoke in detail about her lipofilling on Instagram, but many believe that this operation alone was not enough. Anna is credited with rhinoplasty, removal of Bisha's lumps, breast enlargement... To figure out where the truth is and where the fiction is, we carefully studied the star's photographs over different years:
↑ What did Asti do to her face?
Many are sure that at the beginning of her career, Anna Dzyuba changed the shape of her nose, making it thinner and removing the overhanging tip. However, the differences in old and recent photographs are not too obvious; they can be explained by successful filters and the use of Photoshop (for those who actually did this operation, the difference, as a rule, is much more noticeable and does not raise any doubts).
In addition, contouring, eyebrow correction, aggressive make-up, hairstyle and hair volume also greatly change how the nose is perceived - for example, against the background of new enlarged lips, it usually looks smaller than it really is. Therefore, it is impossible to draw unambiguous conclusions about rhinoplasty: it is possible that the operation did take place, but it is much more likely that it was done without it.
Another popular question about Anna Dzyuba’s plastic surgery is the removal of Bisha’s lumps. The singer does have characteristic sunken cheeks, which suggest this operation. Old photos show that she had quite a lot of fat around her lower jaw. Therefore, it is quite possible to assume that the obvious pits did not appear as a consequence of general weight loss, but were made surgically.
Another serious problem was the round, “burly” oval face with which Anya began her career. He did not at all fit with the image of a seductive beauty necessary for the stage and videos. To correct the situation, I had to try: firstly, to lose weight, and secondly, to enlarge my cheekbones using contouring, due to which an aristocratic elegance appeared in my features. True, many fans believe that as a result, Asti began to look much older than she actually is - but this statement seems very controversial to us.
A busy performance schedule does not leave much time for sleep and does not always provide the opportunity to eat right. Coupled with aggressive stage makeup, this negatively affects the condition of the skin: it causes premature aging, dull color and lack of tone. The girl is trying to keep the situation under control with the help of a professional cosmetologist: she is a big fan of ultrasonic lifting, and also regularly does peelings and uses natural skincare products.
Another trend, now of the past, that Anna Dzyuba could not resist is lip augmentation. Everyone knows: to add volume, you don’t need major surgery, one session of fillers is enough. The main thing is not to overdo it - but the singer did not always succeed in this. In many photos, her lips look excessively large and completely unnatural. Fortunately, even an unsuccessful result goes away within a few months, and recently the girl seems to have found her “dosage”: she still continues to apply fillers, but the result already looks quite adequate, without any excesses.
↑ Figure transformations
Anna has a natural tendency to be overweight, and she has admitted more than once that in her youth she was extremely complex about being overweight. At the same time, Dziuba first began to fight the hated kilograms - with the help of grueling diets, which, however, did not give much results.
When a stellar career loomed ahead, Asti made another effort - she took up stretching and yoga, and also completely switched to proper nutrition. And this attempt turned out to be much more successful, if not for one problem: as a result, the figure became almost completely flat. If the volume still remained in the chest, then in the buttocks area it disappeared without a trace. Getting fat again is not an option, so Dzyuba decided to turn to plastic surgeons for help with her problem, and she was right.
The girl performed an operation, which in her posts she called 3D lipomyosculpture (essentially ordinary lipofilling). During the intervention, Anya's own fat was pumped out from her abdomen, which was then transplanted into her buttocks. Due to this, not only did the volume of the “fifth point” increase, but also the waist, from where all unnecessary was removed, became noticeably more graceful and thinner. Asti showed the main stages and subtleties of what was happening on Instagram (including the girl had to specifically gain 6 kg in order to grow the required amount of lipid tissue for the transplant), and demonstrated her updated body in photos from the beaches of Dubai and the Maldives at the beginning of 2022.
↑ Has Asti had breast surgery?
As for Anya’s bust, by nature it is not too large, but quite noticeable and quite in harmony with the rest of her figure, so there was no particular need to enlarge it surgically. True, there are those who are sure that Dziuba still had mammoplasty, they say, otherwise her breasts would have completely “deflated” after losing weight.
But there are no obvious traces of implants in the latest photos, and knowing Asti’s commitment to large volumes (and we have already seen how she got her lips inked), it is not difficult to assume that if there was talk of surgery, the singer would now be showing off at least a “B” , and not a modest “deuce”. Those who are still looking for traces of plastic surgery may be satisfied with the version about lipofilling: since the star had already done this with the buttocks, there was no difficulty in transplanting a little fat into the bust area. This procedure will not give a significant increase in size in the case of breasts, but it will easily compensate for the effects of weight loss and create a pleasant natural roundness.
And, in addition to plastic surgery, the girl transforms her body with the help of tattoos, periodically adding new symbols to the collection. The largest image is on the girl’s right hand. Previously, there was only a small treble clef, symbolizing Anya’s main passion - music. And not so long ago she decided to complement the drawing by stuffing a cat surrounded by roses and stars. The singer claims that this reflects her fickle soul. Also, Asti has decorated the front of her hips with wide inscriptions, on her chest there is a small cross, on her left shoulder there is a set of dots reminiscent of old Soviet punch cards, and symbols of unknown meaning run through the ribs in a thin line.
- Total:
Anna Dzyuba did much less plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures than she is credited with. Now she has only undergone standard “Instagram tuning” - removal of Bisha’s lumps, contouring of cheekbones and lips - as well as lipofilling of the buttocks and, possibly, breasts. At the same time, the star is clearly ready to continue working on her face and body, and the main thing is to immediately talk about what is happening, so we can expect new beauty experiments from her soon.
Comments from participants: “No one is to blame”

From today our paths diverge, and everyone goes their own way,” Artem Umrikhin wrote on his Instagram page. Artem suggested that Dziuba would start a solo career, and he would continue to “write songs, look for new talents and help them.” “I would like to express my gratitude to Anya, together we have come a long, incredibly interesting and important path! Now everyone will have their own path, and the Artik & Asti group continues its activities, but with an updated lineup,” he intrigued the fans. After Arktika Asti's post, she closed her Instagram profile. On November 3 , she confirmed her departure from the group in the YouTube show “Caution: Sobchak.” The singer did not voice her future plans, saying that she does not want to rush things. She suggested “seeing what happens next.”

“The group ceased to exist with the lineup in which we performed for 10 years. It's nobody's fault. It was a beautiful and powerful story where we met, grew, and achieved very great results. I am grateful to Artik for everything we have done together. But now it’s time for us to go our separate ways,” Anna Dzyuba told Ksenia Sobchak . On November 12, Anna Dzyuba posted a photo from the recording studio on Instagram. However, she deleted all other posts. Actually everything.

Consequently, the collaboration between Dzyuba and Lauren will continue.
On December 15 , 2022, after more than a month of silence, Anna Dzyuba got in touch. A teaser for her debut solo song has appeared online, which she will release under her old pseudonym, Anna Asti.

This is Anna Asti, and I want to invite you to start this path and walk it with me,” Dziuba signed the video, adding that the premiere of the new song and video is just around the corner. But the singer is keeping the title of the track a secret for now.

So now you will have twice as much music,” promised Artem Umrikhin.

I know that you have been waiting for a very long time and I hope that every note and every word will reach your hearts,” she added.
And here’s what Anna Dzyuba wrote when the clip came out: “So much faith, talent and love of all the people who worked with me, those who supported me when I needed it, were put into this video! There are so many feelings and experiences in it that it is better to see than to describe in words.”
New soloist of Arktik and Asti
On November 26, 2022, it became known that Arktik had already chosen a new soloist as his partner. According to Artem Umrikhin, when it became known that Anna Dzyuba was leaving the project, he received various musical content from 3,000 thousand girls who wanted to take her place. “I didn’t even listen to all of this. As fate would have it, already in the first bullet of the person I was listening to, I noticed a girl. I liked it very much. We met and talked,” he said in an interview with Popcake.

The new Artik & Asti have already recorded fresh material and performed at New Year's corporate events. The date is not far off when the new soloist will be presented to the public. On December 4, 2022, fans of the group “Arkti and Asti” noticed that a photo had been updated in the group’s profiles on various streaming services. Now standing next to Artem Umrikhin is not Anna Dzyuba, but an unknown girl with long hair, captured with her back.
On February 14, 2022, the new composition of the group Arktik and Asti will perform at the concert “Holiday for All Lovers on Muz-TV.” The event will take place in the Kremlin Palace.
Asti in 2022
Asti today is one of the brightest performers in Russian show business. However, even taking into account the busy touring schedule and being busy at the studio, the girl manages to find the strength for entrepreneurial activity.
The artist’s projects include her own beauty salon, as well as a clothing collection. According to the artist, she herself does not understand how she manages to keep up with everything, because sometimes, due to the frantic rhythms, she cannot even eat normally.
However, the main topic of 2022 for Asti fans was not her business projects or even her latest tracks. The hottest news during this period was the change in Asti's personal life.
Fans' reaction: The story of "Nepara" repeats itself
Asti - Anna Dzyuba.
Photo courtesy of the singer Artik & Asti fans reacted differently to the news about Asti leaving the project. Many are happy for Anna and are looking forward to her solo career, others did not like that they wanted to replace their favorite with someone else. “We don’t need another “VIA Gra” or Serebro, when you leave, go away,” is one of the popular comments under the sub-post about the breakup of the duo in the “Russian Music” public on VK. And there are many similar comments. Someone remembered the story of “Nepara”: after the duet of Victoria Talyshnskaya and Alexander Shoua broke up, two new girls appeared in the group, whom many fans of “Nepara” did not accept. It’s the same here, fans write, Artik & Asti are Artem Umrikhin and Anna Dzyuba, and no one else.

Childhood and adolescence
Anya was born on June 24, 1990 in the Ukrainian town of Cherkassy, picturesquely located on the banks of the Dnieper. The girl loves her small homeland - it makes her soul feel comfortable here.
Singer Asti in childhood Growing up in a creative family, the girl was imbued with the magic of music from the cradle. Together with her older sister, she constantly invented various skits, which she willingly demonstrated to her parents and neighbors, and organized impromptu performances and fashion shows. At school, Anya did not miss a single musical event, participated in concerts with pleasure, and listened to her sister’s tapes of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, which belonged to her sister.
Anna Dzyuba and her family She always liked the stage and the attention of the public, so already in her teens she seriously decided to become a singer. True, the girl did not know how she could achieve success in show business; it seemed to her that this would require money and connections, which she did not have then. Therefore, after graduating from school, she looked for herself in other professions, managing to work as a makeup artist and even as an assistant lawyer. At the same time, I recorded my first demo tapes and posted them on the Internet.
“I have no friends, I have a family”: duet with David Guetta
On November 5, 2022, the duo’s swan song was released - a collaboration with DJ David Guetta. American rapper A Boogie wit da Hoodie also worked on the song “Family.” According to Arktik, this is “a very positive, kind song.” “I don’t have friends, I have a family. That's all I need. And no matter where you are, no matter where I will be. You are always in my heart, my family is with me,” Asti sang.
Fans of Arctic and Asti were somewhat disappointed that “Family” turned out to be a cover of the song of the same name that David Guetta and A Boogie wit da Hoodie released with Bebe Rexha and Ty Dolla $ign. “It doesn’t matter that this is a Russian version of a foreign hit. This song still gets me emotional. You can hear it's a farewell song. Farewell song from one of the coolest pop groups in Russia” is another popular comment from the “Russian Music” public.

Sedokova calls Umrikhin her friend. “I know that he is in a lot of pain. I just know Artik. He is super cool, the kindest and most correct person in the Universe. We've known each other for 14 years. I’m sure that time will numb him,” she said on the TikTok Show on New Radio.
