Aiza-Liluna Ai (formerly known as Aiza Dolmatova and Aiza Anokhina) is a Russian blogger, television presenter, entrepreneur, and rap artist, and the ex-wife of rapper Guf. Owner of the Ai Lab beauty salon chain. Born on December 10, 1984, in Grozny, Chechen-Ingush ASSR.
When she was 10 years old, the First Chechen War began. Aiza recalls those times with horror:
I was 10 years old when I first saw and heard the explosions of missiles, bombs, and automatic rifles. I was 10 years old when I first saw dead bodies, a mountain of dead bodies. I was 10 years old when I was stripped of my childhood and my homeland forever.
Aiza's stance on the war in Ukraine
Anti-war statements
Following the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Aiza left Russia. According to her, the decision was driven by concerns for her personal safety and panic attacks triggered by the war. On her Instagram account, the celebrity spoke out about the events:
I want to live here and now, I don't want to run away and flee! I want my children to have a future! I want to pay taxes that go toward sick and vulnerable children, not toward murdering people! Put me in jail if you want, brand me a foreign agent if you want, but I've had enough!
Those who believe what they say on television are slaves, and Ukrainians are not Nazis, but good, kind people.
In her Instagram Stories, she urged followers not to fall for fakes, to calm down and avoid infighting, asserting that ordinary Russians did not want war.
Interviews after the outbreak of the war
In December 2022, Aiza gave an interview to "Populyarnaya Politika" (Popular Politics), in which she talked about Russian propaganda and expressed support for Ukrainians:
Among my circle there are people (I don't speak to them anymore) who genuinely believe that a war with NATO is taking place. They don't look into things, they don't dig deeper, they evaluate everything superficially. And that's bizarre, because all of us — bloggers, TV presenters — are constantly working with Ukrainians.
In July 2023, Aiza gave an interview to Ksenia Sobchak:
We were deprived of the ability to grieve, empathize, feel compassion, care, and talk to each other about it. It immediately falls under the criminal article on 'discrediting'. You simply want to feel pain, but you cannot afford to.
Cooperation with the "New People" party
In July 2026, Aiza-Liluna Ai became an ambassador for a single mothers' support initiative by the "New People" party. Notably, the "New People" party in February 2022 voted to support the recognition of the so-called "DPR" and "LPR", as well as the commencement of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
