Sveta Kotova did not win the beauty contest, but her name still became famous in Russia - posthumously.

Together with him, Svetlana went to Greece, where Solonik was hiding from both the Russian authorities and his enemies. However, the Orekhovskaya criminal group that was hunting for Solonik still got on the killer’s trail: on February 2, 1997, the body of a strangled bandit was discovered in his Greek villa. The investigation found the suitcase with the remains of 22-year-old Sveta only three months later: the killers dismembered the victim’s body and took it to the forest.

Fortunately, the dashing 90s, when the country's first beauties considered it an honor to get involved with crime bosses, are left behind. The new millennium in the history of “Miss Russia” was opened by policeman Oksana Fedorova (though for some time she still had an affair with St. Petersburg businessman Vladimir Golubev, famous in the criminal world).

Two years ago, a scandal erupted around the competition: the winner Elmira Abdrazakova was attacked by thousands of Internet users who hounded the girl with xenophobic insults. According to haters, a Tatar woman is unworthy of winning a Russian competition (despite the fact that Tatarstan is a subject Russian Federation). And yet this did not stop Elmira from gathering strength and moving forward: she became the face of the Colin’s brand and, leaving her studies at Siberian state university ways of communication, entered VGIK to take a course with the famous director Vladimir Menshov. However, with the last point everything turned out to be not so smooth. Firstly, Elmira managed to become an actress the third time, and secondly, this attempt did not bring the expected result. It became known that the course director, Vladimir Menshov, was dissatisfied with the acting abilities of the titled beauty and suggested that she “say goodbye” to her film career. “I’m not upset, everything will be fine. It's not the first time for me. The fact that I will leave Menshov’s course is clear. I want to apply for film studies, or maybe I won’t apply at all, I’ll just take the documents. There is professional incompetence, or maybe I have the wrong psychosomatics, or I don’t have a deep experience,” Elmira noted philosophically in her

In the Russian Federation, the nineties are considered a period when society plunged into the abyss of wild capitalism after the collapse Soviet Union. Various things appeared like mushrooms. Being a crime boss, in the opinion of many young people, was then considered prestigious. This article is dedicated to businessman and crime boss Konstantin Chuvilin and his famous partner Alexandra Petrova, who were killed in 2000.

Biography of Chuvilin

Konstantin was born in the city of Cheboksary, Russian Federation) in 1967. The biography of crime boss Konstantin Chuvilin is quite controversial, as is his personality. There is quite a bit of information about him.

It is known that Chuvilin was a legalized criminal figure and had a trading business in the city markets. He had been brought to the police for hooliganism and fights, but had no criminal record and prison terms he was not registered. In addition to maintaining big business in the Cheboksary market, according to some sources, Konstantin owned city gas stations. He was part of the Chapaev gang, the most powerful in the city. Chuvilin became famous when he was killed in the early 2000s together with Alexandra Petrova (Miss Russia), whom he had been dating since the end of 1998.

Criminal business

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, which happened in December 1991, already in democratic Russia, criminal groups began to form that were involved in racketeering and other serious crimes. Konstantin Chuvilin was one of the representatives of the criminal world. He ran the criminal business of Cheboksary.

The criminals who controlled all big business and commerce in the 90s were sometimes associated with state power and police structures.

Some believe that such organized groups of bandits were created spontaneously and chaotically. In reality, during the formation of a new capitalist order in the Russian Federation, criminality played a certain role. At that time, the privatization of state property was in full swing, and in a large redistribution, illegal representatives in the form of gangster groups were needed to fight for the legacy of Soviet industry.

The nineties were created and financed because they were needed by people close to power. After the market was divided and everything stabilized, gradually “reputable businessmen” began to either go into legitimate business, or they were arrested and imprisoned, and some were liquidated as unnecessary.

Roman Chuvilina

Before meeting with Chuvilin, it was not possible to build long term relationship. The financial well-being of her fans did not play a primary role for her. In the capital for a year and a half of her life, Alexandra never managed to meet true love. The capital's men seemed to her hypocritical and too calculating, at least she came across only such ones.

In Cheboksary, Petrova tried to fight off annoying suitors, once she even had to contact the police. Alexandra found stability in her relationship only with the appearance of 35-year-old Konstantin Chuvilin in her life, whom no one dared to cross.

Petrova had received signs of attention from this influential authority before; a year later she agreed to meet and live with him; in the year 2000, the couple was already planning a wedding and the birth of children. Cheboksary ordinary townspeople were surprised by the incomprehensible choice of the first beauty of the city, Petrova. Chuvilin was not a model of external male attractiveness, but he was a wealthy businessman with a trail of notoriety. Friends and relatives who knew Alexandra well said that she would not date a rude and uncultured man. An influential businessman from Cheboksary, Konstantin Chuvilin, was not only a tough entrepreneur, but also a man in love. He treated his beloved with care and affection, and also provided assistance to her mother and sister in material and everyday matters.

Modeling business and crime

Usually the lovers of crime bosses, and simply bandits of the nineties, were various kinds of “misses” of something. Simply put, beauties with long legs who were hungry for money. We won’t confirm, maybe true love there was a place there. For the most part, their lives ended as quickly and tragically as those of the criminal business figures themselves. Sometimes and at the same time with their other halves. The Cheboksary beauty is an example of this. Her love relationship with Konstantin Chuvilin, a crime boss and wealthy businessman, led to a tragic ending.

By the way, she is not the only victim of contract killings of crime bosses and their girlfriends. In 1999, along with the most famous killer in Russia, his girlfriend, Moscow model Svetlana Kotova, who, together with Petrova, participated in the Miss Russia competition, was killed.

Queen of beauty

The list of the most beautiful and famous women throughout the country of the 90s was supplemented by the beautiful Alexandra Petrova - “Miss Russia” 1996. She died at the age of 20 from a shot by a hired killer. Even if her tragic fate had not attracted the attention of Moscow journalists and had not become a story large quantity documentaries and programs, many people would still remember this wonderful woman. Petrova's beauty was completely natural.

Petrova's career

In 1996, the Miss Russia national competition was broadcast on television channels in live December 13th. The first time the competition was held in Veliky Novgorod. Of the forty participants - winners of regional competitions, 16-year-old Alexandra Petrova from Chuvashia was recognized as the best.

In 1997, she took part in a large number of television programs, various talk shows, presentations, and worked professionally as a fashion model. Over two years, Petrova visited many countries, took part in three international competitions beauty. She added a World Arts Championship medal in the “model” category to the title of “Miss Russia” and received an offer to professional activity in Hollywood, however these great opportunities she declined because she was not yet eighteen years old at the time.

In July 1997, Alexandra Petrova was recognized as the most attractive at the international modeling competition “Miss Model International”, in which women from fifty-three countries took part. At the end of 1997, the “Person of the Year” competition was held in Chuvashia, Petrova’s homeland. The Chuvash beauty won here too.

In 1999, Petrova represented Russia at the world's main beauty contest, Miss Universe. The Cheboksary beauty received profitable proposition from the famous Russian modeling agency "Ford Model", but with the condition that she will lose a little excess weight, will do English language and gets a short haircut.

Murder of Chuvilin and Petrova

On Saturday evening, at about seven o'clock, Deputy general director Radik Akhmetov, authority Konstantin Chuvilin and Alexandra Petrova in a VAZ car drove up to one of the houses on Kirova Street in the Chapaevsky village (Cheboksary). Having parked at the entrance, they went inside and went up to the third floor, where they saw a masked man with a Makarov pistol in his hands. First, the criminal killed Chuvilin. As the examination later established, three bullets were found in his body. Chuvilin died on the spot. Akhmetov and Alexandra ran downstairs to escape, but on the first floor the killer caught up with them and shot them in cold blood. The killer hit Radik three times in the head. It is possible that, most likely, he was the main target of the killer. Alexandra became an unwanted witness and was seriously wounded. The criminal, without haste, went out into the street and disappeared.

Consequence

Within fifteen minutes, police officers called by the residents of the house arrived at the crime scene. However, the killer was never caught. This crime has been unsolved for seventeen years. According to eyewitnesses, the criminal left in a red car; some witnesses said it was a jeep, while others said it was an ordinary Lada. A child playing in the yard told investigators that a suspicious car appeared at the house as early as one o'clock in the afternoon, which may indicate that the murder was carefully prepared and planned in advance.

Chuvilin's mortally wounded girl was immediately hospitalized in the city hospital, however, despite all the doctors' actions, Alexandra Petrova died from severe blood loss. A killer hired by her fiancé's competitors came to "deal" with the crime boss and his friend, and Petrova turned out to be an unwanted witness. Brutal murder of ex Russian queen the podium became the topic of news on central television channels, including the Vremya program.

Possible version of murder

As a result of the dispute over the division of spheres of influence, a conflict arose. Presumably, a rival criminal group ordered Chuvilin or Akhmetov. Most likely, business in the Cheboksary city market was the main subject of the conflict. According to the investigative team, one of the business competitors of Chuvilin and Akhmetov could have been involved in the contract killing.

The killer decided to carry out the murder at the moment when Alexandra and her were together. The young model was, in fact, accidentally killed in a criminal showdown between two criminal gangs. A representative of the Chapaev group, according to the police, was Chuvilin’s deceased friend, Radik Akhmetov, the owner of the main city bazaar. Investigative authorities believe that this contracted brutal triple murder is connected precisely with commercial activity.

Petrova's tragic death before her twentieth birthday

Alexandra's life was cut short in 2000. The girl was hit by a ricochet bullet, but died on the way to the hospital. This day was her twentieth birthday, which she wanted to celebrate at home in a narrow circle of friends and family. By a tragic coincidence, on September 16, her life was cut short by a shot on the landing next to her lover’s apartment.

The worst thing that Alexandra’s mother predicted tragic death daughter and was very afraid for her. She later said in an interview that she knew this would happen. Mother read fortunes by hand and was considered a palm reader. In Sasha’s palm, the line of fate intersected with the line of intellect by the age of twenty, and at the intersection there was a dot. Hit to the head at 20 years old. True, she didn’t tell her anything. This is a huge tragedy for everyone. Thus the life of the first beauty of Chuvashia was cut short.

Farewell to Alexandra and Konstantin

Almost the entire city of Cheboksary came to the funeral, which took place at the end of September 2000. They remembered Alexandra Petrov with kind words, because the girl died very young, without having time to live. Who could have predicted that in Russia beauty could be deadly dangerous?

The list of the most beautiful and nationally famous girls of the 1990s is impossible to imagine without Alexandra Petrova- “Miss Russia” in 1996, who absurdly died at the age of 19 from an assassin’s bullet. Even if her tragic story had not attracted the attention of Moscow journalists or become the subject of numerous TV documentaries, many people would still remember this beauty. Alexandra's beauty was entirely natural: she did not need to apply eyeliner, wear bright lipstick, hair extensions, whiten her teeth, or cleanse her skin at spas in order to attract the admiration of others. Everything included in the definition of beautiful appearance was generously given to her by nature.

International modeling career at Alexandra It never developed, and it didn’t work out with getting a higher education. Before finishing her second year, she withdrew her documents from the university. They said that this was due to the girl’s personal life. She had a boyfriend back in school, she mentioned him in her interviews after all-Russian competition. Although she did not provide details. As often happens with beauty queens from the provinces, sudden popularity, long absence At home we put an end to our relationship with our boyfriend. She did not like hasty romances; the material well-being of a candidate for a boyfriend did not play a primary role for her. In Moscow for a year and a half Shura I never met a new love. Moscow men seemed to her two-minded and too rational, at least she came across only such ones. In Cheboksary Shura fought off annoying fans, once she was even advised to contact the police. It became calm only with the appearance of a 35-year-old man in her life Konstantin Chuvilina, to whom no one dared to cross the road. Chuvilin was known as a “legalized crime boss” and had a business in the city’s trading markets. He had been brought to the police for hooliganism and fights, but he had no criminal record or prison sentences. Signs of attention Shure he had done so before; a year later she agreed to live with him in a “civil marriage,” and a wedding was planned in 2000. The inhabitants of Cheboksary were surprised by the incomprehensible choice of the beauty queen. Chuvilin was unattractive in appearance, did not have “palaces” and other attributes of luxury, not to mention a trail of notoriety. Those who knew well Petrov, claimed that she would not get involved with a rude and uncouth man. "Cool" and insensitive Chuvilin was not for everyone. He treated the girl very carefully and kindly, helped her mother and sister in material and everyday matters. U Shura and her friends Maryany, who headed the modeling department of the Fashion House, had plans to open her own agency in Cheboksary, and Chuvilin agreed to give money for the project. Occasionally Marina Kruglova called from Moscow and invited the former miss to the capital for certain events as a titled beauty or model. In January 2000 Shura attended the Miss Russia-99 competition, went on stage to put a Miss ribbon on one of the participants National Costume". She could not work as a fashion model because overweight, but looked good at jewelry shows. One of these events was supposed to take place in Moscow on September 18, 2000, but Shura declined the invitation. This day was her 20th birthday, which she wanted to celebrate at home with friends and relatives. By a tragic coincidence, on September 16, her life was cut short by a shot in the head on the landing near her fiancé’s apartment. Hired by competitors Chuvilina the killer came to “kill” him and his business partner, and Shura turned out to be an unwanted witness. The ruthless murder of the former All-Russian beauty queen became the topic of news on central television channels, including the Vremya program.

The beauty’s premature death was, as they said, “written in her destiny.” Her mother and grandmother claimed that they knew how to read fate in the palm of their hand and determined "a blow to the head" when a girl turns 20 years. Fashion designer Tatiana Sharonova said in one of the TV programs that Shura knew about her future fate, once in childhood she overheard a conversation between her relatives. And therefore, she didn’t make plans, participated in long-term projects without much desire, and didn’t “stress” to achieve her life goals. Lived for one day. To the funeral Chuvilina and his bride a great crowd gathered together. T.Sharonova This is how I remembered that day: “Here she was lying. They painted her eyes and lips. It felt like she had just gone to bed. It was impossible to look at it, everyone was crying terribly.” Then eyewitnesses from among relatives and friends Shura recalled the mystical signals that accompanied those events and were reminiscent of scenes from horror films. Shortly before the murder, cockroaches infested the apartment and literally poured out of the wall in a stream. After the funeral, every single cockroach suddenly disappeared. And at night after the tragedy in the same one-room apartment Heavy, echoing blows were heard at Afanasyev, as if someone was hitting the wall with a sledgehammer. We also remembered b similar murder in Greece three years earlier models "Red Stars" Svetlana Kotova, which Russian and foreign media for some reason they attributed the title “Miss Russia-96”. On Shura Then this news made a depressing impression.
Without exception, all people who knew “Miss Russia-96” spoke of her as a completely peace-loving, unforgiving person. And a very modest girl who did not want to flaunt her beauty, even being shy about it. She often gave gifts to relatives and friends: a good watch, expensive cologne, stylish shoes. She usually dressed in jeans and sneakers, and occasionally in a business suit. She appeared many times at official events in the same dresses. For her complete lack of material claims, even the organizers of “Miss Russia” fell in love with her, who were tough, unsentimental people, who were immersed in financial matters. There was one not so good beautiful moment described in a newspaper interview with his mother Alexandra, when these organizers did not give her daughter the cash prize and the crown of the winner of Miss Model International 97. But Shura showed generosity and did not seek justice, although it was a serious sum of $5,000. Marina Kruglova: “Sasha was very kind, very unenvious, very open. Absolutely unpretentious. When we went shopping with her to buy clothes, she kept saying: oh well, no need, I have everything. She never asked for anything.” In interviews and memoirs of people who communicated with the All-Russian Miss for Life, no one called her by her full name Alexandra: Shurka(mother Tatiana), Sashka, Shurka (Marina Kruglova), Sasha, Shura, Shurochka(friends and colleagues), Shuronka(grandmother Galina). A group dedicated to her on VKontakte, with admin Ksenia Petrova(younger sister), is called "Shurochka Petrova". Perhaps, in these variations of the name, people involuntarily showed the nuances of their attitude towards the Cheboksary beauty: some loved her simply for her beauty, simplicity and spiritual kindness, while others valued her for some of their own reasons, mostly on a practical level.

As a rule, various kinds of “misses” of something became girlfriends of criminal authorities, and simply criminals of those years. Simply put, long-legged beauties hungry for money. We won’t confirm - maybe sincere love there was a place there. For the most part, their lives ended as quickly and tragically as those of the bandits themselves. And sometimes at the same time as them.

Corpse in a suitcase

Perhaps the most notorious story on our topic is the terrible murder of a killer Alexandra Solonika and his mistresses Svetlana Kotova.

Sasha Solonik, aka Macedonian (he received this nickname thanks to his ability to shoot in Macedonian style - with two hands), belonged to the Kurgan organized crime group. In 1987, he was sentenced to eight years in a maximum security colony for rape. Then he ran away.

In 1990, the killer carried out his first murder order - he shot the head of the Ishim group - Nikolai Prichinich.

Solonik was detained on October 6, 1994 at the Petrovsko-Razumovsky market in the capital. At the police station, while trying to escape, Solonik wounded three police officers and was wounded in the kidney. From the hospital, Makedonsky was taken for investigation to Matrosskaya Tishina. But eight months after his arrest, Solonik escaped from the pre-trial detention center. By the way, throughout the history of the famous prison, he became the only person who succeeded.

Under a new name, Solonik settled in Greece, where his people from the Kurgan organized crime group were already located. In Langonisi, near Athens, the bandits rented three luxurious mansions.

Macedonsky, according to his neighbors, was greedy for women and brought a new lady into the house every week. But the longest was Solonik’s affair with a fashion model. Sveta Kotova. And for her it was also fatal.

The girl worked with the famous Moscow agency Red Stars and participated in the finals of the Miss Russia-96 contest. On January 25, 1997, Kotova performed at the international exhibition Consumexpo. After which Svetlana asked her superiors for leave and left for Athens.

As it turned out later, she went to Solonik, who had previously invited the model to Greece more than once. They say that Alexander even came secretly to Moscow under the guise of a Greek showman Vladimir Kesov to convince Sveta to leave with him.

From Athens, Svetlana was going to go to a beauty contest in Italy. The girl talked about this on the phone to her mother. Kotova called home every day until January 30. After this date the model disappeared.

On February 2, 1997, in the Varibobi forest, near Athens, operatives discovered Solonik’s body. He was strangled with a nylon cord. There were no documents with the killer.

The search for Kotova continued for another three months. The police established that Svetlana did not cross the borders of Greece - she was eliminated as a witness to the murder of her boyfriend.

In May, residents of the resort town of Saronida came across a suitcase lying under an olive tree. Inside, in plastic bags, lay the dismembered body of a woman. The identity of 21-year-old Kotova was established because the decomposition process had not yet fully begun.

There are many versions of who committed both murders. From involvement Italian mafia and even to the point that Solonik is even alive. However, the investigation agreed that Makedonsky and Kotova were killed by members of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group.

Mother predicted her daughter's death

On the evening of September 16, 2000, a resident of one of the Cheboksary Stalin apartments heard a strange noise in the entrance. She opened the door, but they immediately put the barrel of a gun to her forehead and pushed her back into the apartment. When on staircase everything calmed down, the husband of the frightened woman decided to come out.

Two men and a beautiful girl lay in pools of blood. 20 year old Alexandra Petrova she was still breathing, but the doctors could not save her. Sasha died on the way to the hospital. In two days she had a noisy holiday planned - her birthday.

At the age of 16, Sasha Petrova went from Cheboksary to Novgorod to conquer the Miss Russia competition, which “left” the capital for the first time. A childhood dream came true - in 1996, Alexandra became the new beauty queen.

The work began to boil, offers from various agencies began to pour in. They even invited me to act in Hollywood, but my mother opposed it. Sasha completed two courses at the faculty foreign languages and abandoned the institute. Her common-law husband is Konstantin Chuvilin- I wanted to see the girl next to me, and not behind books.

Kostya was not an ordinary guy. And 18-year-old Sasha liked “bad boys,” especially with “grandmothers,” because in her childhood and youth she lived modestly. Chuvilin was listed as unemployed, but in fact he was a member of the Chapaevskaya organized crime group - the most influential in Cheboksary. This easily explained the availability of money for a luxurious European-quality renovation in an apartment on Kirova Street and a Lada of the latest brand.

Kostya’s close friend and “colleague” was the director of the central market - Radik Akhmetov. It was because of the market that the conflict arose among Anatoly Doronitsyn, who previously owned a retail business, and the local mayor's office. According to investigators, Doronitsin hired a killer to eliminate Akhmetov, who framed him.

The killer caught up with Radik in the company of Petrova and Chuvilin. At the entrance of an elite house, a mercenary shot all three at point-blank range with a machine gun. The criminal could not be found, which is not surprising for that time.

This is what someone writes about Petrova on one forum Katya Katya: “She really stood out. So modest, tall, all in black. Then I got confused with it common-law husband. I started hanging around restaurants and abandoned my studies. But in furs. The whole city saw her off, everyone loved her.”

The worst thing that Sasha’s mother predicted tragic fate daughter and was terribly afraid for her life.

I knew this would happen. I read by hand: in Shura’s palm, the line of fate intersected with the line of mind by the age of twenty, and at the intersection there was a dot. A blow to the head at twenty years old. True, I didn’t tell her anything. There is also a sign: if you see a cockroach, it’s not good. And then they simply began to fall from the wall, and no matter how much they were killed, they continued to fall... It’s unnatural the way they fell. And after what happened, everything, not a single cockroach,” Tatyana Nikolaevna recalled with horror.

Innocent victim of war

In the dashing 90s, the city of Tolyatti was compared to the American Chicago. This happened because for ten years there was a bloody criminal war in pursuit of control over AvtoVAZ. According to some estimates, more than 400 people were killed in Togliatti during that period.

The start of the war was facilitated by a conflict between the largest Volgovskaya organized crime group and a gang Vladimir Agiya And Alexander Voronetsky. By the way, during perestroika, Volgovskaya was one of the first to start selling stolen spare parts from AvtoVAZ.

In the 2000s, Togliatti was mired in the third “great racketeer war.” At the head of the Volgovskaya organized crime group was Dmitry Ruzlyaev. Another leader of the group was considered the cruel, frostbitten bandit Sovok - Evgeniy Sovkov. By that time he was wanted and lived in Moscow on a “left” passport in the name Pavel Lizunov together with a 28-year-old bride from Tolyatti - Lyudmila Matytsina.

Sovkov often visited the Krasnopresnensky baths - favorite place authoritative criminals. On December 26, 2000, Sovok went to the “arrow” to these very baths, taking Lyudmila with him. The meeting took place in Stolyarny Lane. Let's jump ahead and say that a few steps from this place in the 94th killer Lesha Soldier the authority was shot Otari Kvantrishvili.

...The conversation between Sovk and a certain man in black did not last long. When Evgeniy turned around and walked back to the car, shots rang out. Matytsina jumped out of the car in horror and immediately received a bullet in the forehead.

The killer turned out to be Sovka's longtime enemy - Andrey Milovanov, aka Green.

Sovkov, seriously wounded, managed to get to the driver's seat, but four hours later he died in the hospital. Before leaving, the killer fired a control shot at Lyudmila in the head.

Green was generally famous for the fact that he could absolutely calmly kill a woman in the most brutal way. He also shot the widow of the general director of the Tolyatti fish plant Oksana Labintseva.

Sasha Petrova was still a 16-year-old girl when in 1996 she was recognized as the most beautiful girl in Russia. However, she was not able to fully enjoy the glory of “first miss”. 4 years after the competition, Sasha was killed. Not the least role in this tragedy was played by the acquaintance of the spectacular model with one of the crime bosses.

16 year old queen

Alexandra Petrova was a native of Cheboksary. She was born into an ordinary family in 1980. Residents of Chuvashia were very proud and are still proud of the fact that it was their fellow countrywoman, without plastic surgery, silicone and tons of cosmetics, in 1996 she took first place in the Miss Russia competition. Then Sasha (or simply Shurochka, as everyone called her) was only 16 years old. The competition that year was organized not in the capital, as usual, but in Veliky Novgorod. 40 girls competed for the title. The jury's choice deservedly fell on the beautiful Shura.

Frankly speaking, Sasha Petrova did not dream of the beauty queen crown, she wanted to become a doctor. But victories in such competitions often open up opportunities for young beauties many doors. This happened in the life of Miss 1996. Petrova was invited to Hollywood. But the girl was forced to refuse, because at that time she was still underage.

Bright prospects

Meanwhile, Shura continued to win the most prestigious competitions. The very next year, 1997, she became Miss Model International. Then her rivals were representatives of more than 50 countries around the world. But Petrova turned out to be the best of them. In addition, in the same year she deservedly received the title “Person of the Year” in her native Chuvashia. After 2 years, Alexandra already represented Russia at the Miss Universe competition in Trinidad and Tobago.

Then she had already turned 18, and one of the foreign modeling agencies invited Sasha to join them. At that time she had luxurious and very long hair. Agency employees put forward several conditions: cut your hair, lose a little weight and master English. Probably, Petrova was still going to accept this offer, since she really shortened her curls to her shoulders and submitted documents to the institute for the Faculty of Foreign Languages. But things didn’t go any further: in 2000, beauty queen Alexandra Petrova was killed.

Accidental death

The tragedy happened after the Chuvash crime boss Konstantin Chuvilin appeared in Alexandra’s life. They say that he was very kind to his Shura and all members of her family. Those close to Petrova spoke of the girl herself as a very kind, naive and selfless person, who probably wasn’t very difficult to fall in love with with the help of a banal kind word. And who knows: maybe love is actually evil, and we don’t choose who will become our chosen one?

Be that as it may, on September 16, 2000, Shura Petrova was killed. But the killer’s target was not the Chuvash beauty, but her lover Konstantin Chuvilin and his friend Radiy Akhmetov, who was the director of the market. So “Miss Russia 1996” turned out to be another accidental victim of criminal squabbles and the division of spheres of influence between criminal groups.
