Anastasiya Pavlovna Hagen, née Gryshai, better known under her screen name Wiska, is a Ukrainian model and pornographic actress notorious for her difficult personal life. Married mother of three, Anastasiya is the first pornographer to take refuge in the EU (namely the Czech Republic) and apply for a political asylum due to their professional activities. She married Oleksandr Kondratenko or Hagen (a then 33 years-old local businessman) in 2001 and gave birth to their first child, son Oleksandr Jr., before finishing school. Anastasiya admits that her husband introduced her to swinging sex (which she didn’t enjoy) and amateur pornography. In 2003, Anastasiya’s husband Oleksandr was convicted and imprisoned for 8 years for an alleged vehicle arson. The couple states that imprisonment was result of a business dispute and the reason for Anastasiya’s out-of-need family-supporting porn career. It was her husband who initiated Anastasiya’s successful start as a nude model, particularly for the Penthouse and Met-Art, and later as a hardcore pornography actress.In 2004, Anastasiya participated in her first professional porn video scene in Saint Petersburg (Russia), where pornography production was briefly declared legal. Since then, she participated in dozens of videos, particularly for the Anabolic, Combat Zone, Devil’s Film, Evil Angel, New Sensations, Sineplex and Woodman Entertainment, until at least 2012. Circa 2007, Wiska’s identity was revealed in Ukraine after a family interview for one of the local tabloids, which attracted journalistic interest and launched her as a national celebrity posing for mainstream media. In 2010, Ukrainian authorities began recurring persecution of Anastasiya’s family and, when pornography production in the country became illegal, Anastasiya was investigated on this allegation, with her home searched, as well. The persecution was initiated by a prominent Communist member of parliament representing Crimea. FEMEN protest movement staged a highly publicized public event in Anastasiya’s support which included her interviews and topless posing in traditional FEMEN entourage. In 2010, Anastasiya and her family moved to the Czech Republic and applied for an asylum (Wikipedia).
