INSTAGRAM model Anastasiya Kvitko has been dubbed the Russian Kim Kardashian thanks to her ample assets.

The 21-year-old has now shared how she was told to lose weight by her first agency in Miami before she could make it as a model.

The Russian stuck to her buns and now commands an Instagram empire of 2.6million followers.

She told state-owned Russian news agency Sputnik about the secret of her popularity among men: "I don't know why now myself, there is such a boom for Kim Kardashian, that they themselves decided to compare me to her."

She has denied that she has had plastic surgery after Instagram users comments on disparity between older photos and her newer posts.

The model said: "If a person really has shortcomings, they can resort to plastic surgery, if it really makes them happier.

"I consider myself perfect, and therefore don't want to change anything."

She was first discovered when she was 17 by famous fashion photographer Anvar Norov and moved from her native Kaliningrad to kick start her career in the US.
