[edit] Actress

Any ideas on who plays Nikita in this video? --Pinnecco 01:19, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I found out that after the Nikita video, the accress that played Nikita tried to launch a singing career but failed. However, she released a single called Moscow Nights (don't know if it is in fact THE Moscow Nights) and it was a one hit onder in The Netherlands. Ah, her "stage name" was Anya. --Pinnecco 02:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

The other frequently given answer is that she is Anya Major, a UK model/actress. I've seen claims about her being a "Russian one-hit artist" as well. The Wikipedia article about Anya Major lists her as the actress in this video, with "citation needed". At http://rock.discogs.com/artist/Anya+(2) is is stated that this Russian artist character is just a made-up role for Anya Major.-- era (Talk | History) 14:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "the Slavic language"

Slavic isn't a language according to my sources. Moreover, Russian is itself a Slavic language, and so the statement doesn't really make any sense at all. Can anybody enlighten on which Slavic language(s) the referenced webpage is talking about? -- Smjg (talk) 16:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] the silly Nikita video

I was born and grew up in Russia and when I first saw the video I was surprised that it was about a female soldier. In Russia Nikita can only be a man's name. Just like the English name John can not be a female's name, Nikita can never be a woman's name. Remember Nikita Khruschev? Anyway, I thought at the time that the video was homophobic because it was hiding this fact. Even now, whenever I see the video it makes me feel disgusted. 66.65.129.159 (talk) 03:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
