Childhood and youth
The future actress Elena Korikova was born on April 12, 1972 in Tobolsk. She inherited her royal posture and fragile beauty from her mother, the famous ballerina Tatyana Korikova.

In addition to unusual beauty, young Elena showed acting abilities quite early on. While still a schoolgirl, she began to play in the Epos Historical Theater-Studio.
After graduation, Korikova decided to conquer the capital and submitted documents to VGIK. Soon, the girl successfully passed the exams and was enrolled in the course to Sergei Solovyov.

"Poor Elena", or Elena Korikova before and after plastics
It's no secret that in the film business for a woman, appearance is sometimes more important than talent. Therefore, in order to maintain their attractiveness, many actresses go to the most dangerous and complex operations. However, far from everyone, these procedures are beneficial.
Unfortunately, Elena Korikova was no exception to this rule. Despite a successful career, a few years after the "Poor Nastya" her beauty began to wither away a little. What caused this? Unknown Some said that a busy schedule undermined the health of the actress. Others claimed that Korikova’s love for alcohol and cigarettes was to blame. Still others attributed premature aging to the individual characteristics of the body.
In any case, to return to its former beauty, the actress ventured to make plastic. Despite the fact that it was a secret procedure, pretty soon after it, numerous photos of Elena Korikova before and after plastic surgery began to appear on the Internet.
At the same time, the majority of admirers of the artist’s talent recognized that the operation clearly didn’t benefit her and did not improve the appearance of “poor Nastya”, but on the contrary, made her old. Therefore, many of yesterday's fans of the actress became interested in how old Elena Korikova is in fact, because she began to look at all 50 with a ponytail.
Especially relish the topic of an unsuccessful attempt to rejuvenate the actress began on the eve of the tenth anniversary of "Poor Nastya." In connection with this date, a lot of videos have appeared on the Internet that show how the leading actors have changed over the years.
As one would expect, the biggest part went to the female lead, because the photos of Elena Korikova before and after plastic surgery became almost the highlight of every article or video on this topic.
Moreover, in fairness it is worth noting that not only Korikova lost her former beauty. So another actress from "Poor Nastya" due to an unsuccessful procedure has changed beyond recognition. We are talking about Anna Gorshkova, who, moreover, is 9 years younger than “poor Nastya”.
Well, for those who want to make up their minds about the changes in Elena Korikova’s appearance before and after plastic surgery, it’s worth watching one of the most recent projects with her participation - the 2017 series “The Cycle”, in which the actress played an avid doctor Lidia Petrovna Gatich.
The personal life of the actress
Having examined the biography and filmography of Korikova, as well as information about her plastic surgery, it is worth learning about the personal life of the actress.
Like her appearance, a lot of gossip goes about the artist’s novels. After the release of “Poor Nastya”, she was credited with novels with almost any man with whom she was next to him in the photograph. In addition, periodically there were various rumors about the children of Elena Korikova.
Which of these gossip is true? Let's figure it out.
The first time officially Korikova got married as a student. Her chosen one was the famous Russian writer Dmitry Lipskerov. Unfortunately, this marriage soon broke up.
The new lover of the actress was a student of the directing department of VGIK - Dmitry Roshchin (son of the famous artist Ekaterina Vasilyeva). It was he who became the father of the only son of Korikova - Arseny. Unfortunately, neither Dmitry nor his relatives wanted to accept Elena and her child into the family. So the "poor Nastya" had to educate the boy on his own.
The second husband of the actress and a caring father for Arseny was the creator of the video clips - Maxim Osadchiy. By the way, it was with his help that Korikova received many roles in music videos. In the future, the couple divorced.
In the early 2010s, the actress had a long romance with her colleague in the workshop - Sergey Astakhov. But after a few years, this relationship came to naught.
Today, the actress does not have a permanent life partner, however, it can still change. Indeed, despite his age and not very successful plasticity, Korikova is still in demand in the profession and respected by many fans.
