biography

Early life and beginning of career

Wiska was born on November 17, 1985 in Homel , in the Belarusian SSR . Her family moved to Ukraine at an early age , where she grew up in the city of Feodosia . Her career aspiration was initially a textile designer . At the age of fifteen she met her future husband, Alexander Chahen, who was then 32 years old. At the age of sixteen she had the first of three children with him. At the age of seventeen she started working in a modeling agency on the recommendation of her husband. She also modeled for adult magazines .

After her husband was involved in a car fire and was sentenced to three years in prison, Chahen moved to Kiev with her then one-year-old son and studied there. Due to financial difficulties, she placed an advertisement for model orders on a website . Someone offered her a $ 500 fee to work on a pornographic film; she accepted the offer. Over the next four years she received numerous other offers. She learned English and received up to € 1000 per shoot. She worked in over 60 porn films, including for the production company Evil Angel Productions and in at least one film with the Italian porn star Rocco Siffredi, and was considered one of the most successful adult actresses in Eastern Europe at the time . At the height of her career, she gave a few interviews and said that “selling your own body” was one of the few opportunities for many women in Eastern Europe to make money.

Criminal prosecution

In 2009, under the then President Viktor Yushchenko, a law came into force in Ukraine that criminalized pornography and its distribution. In the summer of 2010, several members of the Ukrainian parliament launched a police investigation into Chahen and her family, and an arrest warrant was issued against her, facing up to five years in prison. If convicted, she would be the first woman in Europe to be punished for appearing in porn. One of the MPs who initiated the investigation against her, the KPU politician Leonid Gratsch, described her as a “bearer of amorality” and accused her of tempting young people into non-traditional sex .

application for asylum

In the same year, she and her released husband applied for asylum in the Czech Republic , where most of her pornographic films were made. The Czech Interior Ministry saw no humanitarian or political reasons to justify asylum.

In 2011 she moved to the Czech Republic illegally and spent most of the time in asylum centers. Before the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic , Chahen failed with complaints against the rejection of her application. During her asylum applications, she was supported by the NGO Organizace pro pomoc uprchlíkům , which appealed to the Czech Ministry of the Interior to help her and collected donations for her. Protestant and Catholic pastors also spoke out in public for her and offered her and her family church asylum in the event of deportation . According to the Prague newspaper , this was unprecedented in the Czech Republic. In addition, Chahen was supported by the Femen movement. On December 6, 2012, she and other women from Femen demonstrated in front of the Czech parliament building . She was carrying one of her little sons in her arms. In September 2013 she finally received a permanent residence permit.
