Ksenia Petrova is the sister of Alexandra Petrova. The tragic fate of the dead beauty queens (51 photos)

AT Russian Federation the nineties are considered the period when society plunged into the abyss of wild capitalism after the collapse Soviet Union. How different mushrooms were born. To be crime boss, according to many young people, was then considered prestigious. Nobody thought about reverse side their life, which is invisible to the public eye for the time being.

In Cheboksary, as in all cities of Russia, there have always been their own criminal authorities. Among them, the most popular was Konstantin Chuvilin. It happened right after in 2000 he and his girlfriend Alexandra Petrova were killed in the entrance of one of the houses. The killer shot the couple without any remorse. Perhaps, if Petrov had not been "Miss Russia 96", then this murder would have been forgotten after a short period of time. But it was precisely this circumstance that interested journalists - who is her companion Konstantin Chuvilin, because of which, in fact, Petrova came under fire.

As it turned out, Konstantin Chuvilin was a crime boss who was a member of the Chapaevskaya criminal gang. Konstantin Chuvilin was born in the city of Cheboksary (Republic of Chuvashia, Russian Federation) in 1967. The biography of the crime boss is quite controversial, as is his personality. There is very little information about him.

It is known that Konstantin Chuvilin was a legalized criminal figure, he had a business in the field of trade in the markets of the city. He had been brought to the police for hooliganism and fights, but he had no previous convictions or prison terms. In addition to maintaining big business in the Cheboksary market, according to some sources, Konstantin owned the city's petrol stations. He was a member of the Chapaev gangster group - the strongest in the city.

Criminal business

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

The criminals who ran all big business and commerce were sometimes associated with state power and police structures. Some believe that such organized formations of bandits were created spontaneously and chaotically. In reality, during the formation of the new capitalist order in the Russian Federation, criminals played a certain role. At that time, the privatization of state property was being carried out with might and main, and illegal representatives in the form of bandit groups were needed in a big redistribution to fight for the legacy of Soviet industry.

The organized groups of the nineties were created and financed because they were needed by people close to power. After the market was divided and everything stabilized, gradually "" began to either go into legal business, or they were arrested and imprisoned, and some were liquidated as unnecessary.

Before meeting with Chuvilin, Alexandra Petrova could not build a 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 did not manage to meet true love. The capital's men seemed to her hypocritical and too prudent, at least she came across only such.

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

Petrova's signs of attention were earlier from this influential authority, 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 residents were surprised at the choice of the first beauty of the city Petrova, which was incomprehensible to them. Konstantin Chuvilin was not a model of external male attractiveness, but he was a wealthy businessman who had a trail of notoriety.

Friends and relatives who knew Alexandra well said that she would not meet with 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 kindness, and also assisted her mother and sister in material and domestic matters.

Model business and crime

Usually the lovers of crime bosses, and just gangsters of the nineties, were various kinds of "miss" something. Simply put, long-legged beauties who craved money. We will not confirm, maybe true love there was a place. For the most part, their lives ended as quickly and tragically as those of the criminal business themselves. Sometimes and at the same time with their second halves. Cheboksary beauty Alexandra Petrova is an example of this. Her love relationship with Konstantin Chuvilin, a crime boss and a wealthy businessman, led to a tragic denouement.

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 contest, was killed.

Queen of beauty

The list of the most beautiful and famous women throughout the country of the 90s was replenished by the beautiful Alexandra Petrova - Miss Russia 1996. She died at the age of 20 from a hit by a hitman. Even if her tragic fate had not attracted the attention of Moscow journalists, would not have become a plot a large number documentaries and programs, all the same, many people would remember this beautiful woman. Petrova's beauty was completely natural.

In 1996, the national contest "Miss Russia" was broadcast on TV 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 was a participant in a large number of TV shows, various talk shows, presentations, and worked professionally as a fashion model. For two years, Petrova visited many countries, took part in three international competitions beauty. To the title of "Miss Russia" she added a medal of the World Championship in the Arts in the category "model", received an offer for professional activity in Hollywood, but she turned down these wonderful opportunities because she was not even eighteen at the time.

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

In 1999, Petrova represented Russia at the main world beauty contest "Miss Universe". The Cheboksary beauty received an advantageous offer from the famous Russian modeling agency"Ford Model", but with the condition that she lose a little excess weight, will study English and make a short haircut.

Murder of Chuvilin and Petrova

Saturday evening, around seven o'clock, Deputy CEO the central market of Cheboksary Radik Akhmetov, the authority of Konstantin Chuvilin and Alexandra Petrova drove up to one of the houses in the city center in a VAZ car. They parked at the entrance and took the elevator to the third floor. When the elevator doors opened, they saw a masked man holding a Makarov pistol.

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 save themselves, 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, she was seriously injured. The offender, without hurrying, went out into the street and disappeared.

Fifteen minutes later, police officers called by the residents of the house arrived at the crime scene. However, the killer was never caught. For seventeen years this crime has been unsolved. According to eyewitnesses, the criminal left in a red car, one of the witnesses said that it was a jeep, and someone claimed that it was an ordinary Lada. The children playing in the yard told the investigators that a suspicious car appeared at the house as early as one in the afternoon, and this may indicate that the murder was carefully prepared and planned in advance.

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

Possible version of the murder

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

The killer decided to carry out the murder at the moment when Alexandra and her civil husband we were together. The young model, in fact, was accidentally killed in a criminal showdown between two criminal gangs. The representative of the Chapaev group, according to the police, was Chuvilin's deceased friend, Radik Akhmetov, the owner of the main city bazaar. AT investigating authorities believe that this custom-made cruel triple murder is connected precisely with commercial activity.

Death of Petrova

Alexandra Petrova's life ended in 2000. The girl was hit by a ricochet bullet, but she died on the way to the hospital. This day fell on her twentieth birthday, which she wanted to celebrate at home in a narrow circle of friends and relatives. 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 guessed by the hand, was considered a palmist. On Sasha's palm, the line of fate intersected with the line of intellect by the age of twenty, and at the intersection - a point. Hit in the head at 20. In fact, she didn't say anything to her. This is a huge tragedy for everyone. Thus ended the life of the first beauty of Chuvashia.

Almost the entire city of Cheboksary came to the funeral, which took place at the end of September 2000. They remembered Alexandra Petrova with a kind word, because the girl died very young, before she had time to live. Who could have predicted that in Russia the crown of a beauty queen could be deadly dangerous?

Alexandra Petrova was born on September 18, 1980 in the city of Cheboksary. She grew up in a simple family and many residents of the city are still proud of their countrywoman, they characterize her only with positive side. Shurochka (as her relatives called her) was an ordinary girl, but with very outstanding external data. Mom recalled that because of her bright appearance, Sasha often had to deal with envy. Classmates openly envied, and some teachers disliked.

Sasha Petrova dreamed of a career as a doctor, studied well enough at school. On the advice of relatives, she studied at the Cheboksary school of models "Miss Volga". The girl was noticed even then and she was predicted a great future in her modeling career. Alexandra at the age of 15 won the Miss Cheboksary contest, and then Miss Chuvashia.

Sasha Petrova was remembered by everyone not only for her bright appearance, but also for her modesty and integrity. Her mother told how, at one of the city competitions, the girls were offered to walk along the catwalk in fur coats worn over underwear. At some point, they were supposed to open their fur coats, but Sasha did not. She paraded dressed and no longer hoped to win. It was very surprising that Petrova won that competition.

In 1996, Alexandra took part in the Miss Russia contest. It took place in Veliky Novgorod and was broadcast on federal channels. Of the 40 beauties, Sasha Petrova was recognized as the best. This victory brought her worldwide fame and glory. The beauty of the girl was admired by foreign owners of agencies, directors. In 1996, she was invited to Hollywood, but Alexandra refused, because at that time she was only 16 years old and she did not want to leave her native country.

Model career

After winning the Miss Russia contest, Alexandra Petrova actively worked as a fashion model and appeared on the catwalks. She has visited many countries of the world. In 1997 Sasha took part in several international competitions. She won the final of the world championship in the arts in the nomination "model".

Russian beauty took part in competitions:

• "Miss Model International" (1997);
• "Man of the Year" (1997, Chuvashia);
• "Miss Universe" (1999).

She failed to win the title of the most beautiful girl in the universe, but in other competitions she won a landslide victory. Sasha wanted to build a career in Moscow, worked hard, but was disappointed with the way model business in Russia. At that time there were few good offers. The girls were promised little money for shooting, which was difficult to live on.

Alexandra Petrova began to think about moving abroad, but her age did not allow her to do this, as there were many approvals to be made. When Sasha turned 18, one of the foreign agencies invited the girl to her place. At that time, she had luxurious long hair. But the leadership of the agency needed a slightly different type. They put forward a condition for Petrova. She had to lose weight, cut her hair and learn English language. Alexandra's relatives recall that Alexandra always loved to eat and did not want to torture herself with various diets. For this reason, she reacted rather coolly to the proposal.

In Moscow, Alexandra Petrova was unlucky in her personal life. She complained that all the men paid attention to her status. Petrova was interesting to them as the winner of a prestigious competition, and not as a person. Failures on some fronts forced Sasha to return to his hometown. She wanted to start her own business and thought about moving abroad. Sasha entered college at the faculty foreign languages cut off her long hair. But all plans were not destined to come true. In September 2000, Alexandra was shot dead. She did not live only 2 days before her twentieth birthday.

Personal life and fatal love

Alexandra did not start a serious relationship with young people until she met Konstantin Chuvilin. This man had his own business in Cheboksary. Opinions about him are conflicting. Some people who knew him closely characterize Konstantin as a talented businessman, a fair person, while others pointed to Chuvilin's belonging to the criminal world and talked about his cruel character.

Relations with Konstantin developed rapidly. Alexandra's mother and sister assure that she was truly in love with him. Detractors said that Sasha needed money, but those closest to him had a different opinion on this matter. Petrova just wanted personal happiness. She is a little tired of fame and the need to earn money on her own. She wanted to be needed by someone and feel support and support in the person of such a serious person. Young people lived together for several months and wanted to get married.

The director of the modeling agency recalled that shortly before her death, she and Alexandra discussed the possibility of opening her own business and there were several options.

• modeling agency;
• studio shop;
• fashion boutique.

Konstantin promised to help her in these endeavors. But on the fateful day of September 16, 2000, the deputy general director of the Cheboksary central market Radik Akhmetov, the authority Konstantin Chuvilin and Alexandra Petrova entered the entrance of the house, where the killer was already waiting for them. Chuvilin was killed first, and Sasha and Radik tried to escape, but the gangster's bullet still overtook them. The crime has not yet been solved, but it is obvious to everyone that Sasha became an accidental victim in it.

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

16 year old queen

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

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

Bright prospects

Meanwhile, Shura continued to win the most prestigious competitions. Already in the next 1997, she became "Miss Model International". Then her rivals were representatives of the 50s superfluous countries peace. But Petrova was 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 pageant in Trinidad and Tobago.

Then she was already 18, and one of the foreign modeling agencies invited Sasha to her place. At that time, she had luxurious and very long hair. The agency staff put forward several conditions: cut your hair, lose some 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 at the faculty of foreign languages. Only things did not go further than this: in 2000, the 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. Petrova's relatives spoke of the girl herself as a very kind, naive and disinterested person, who for sure was not very difficult to fall in love with herself with the help of a banal affectionate word. And who knows: maybe love is actually evil, and we do not choose who will become our chosen one?

Be that as it may, on September 16, 2000, Shura Petrova was killed. But the target of the killer was not the Chuvash beauty at all, 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 showdowns and the division of spheres of influence between criminal gangs.

The list of the most beautiful and famous girls of the 1990s throughout the country cannot be imagined without Alexandra Petrova- "Miss Russia" in 1996, who died absurdly at the age of 19 from a bullet hired killer. Even if her tragic story did not attract the attention of Moscow journalists, did not become the plot of numerous documentary television films, many people would still remember this beauty. Alexandra's beauty was all natural: she didn't need to line her eyes, paint her lips with bright lipstick, do hair extensions, whiten her teeth, clean her skin in spa salons to arouse the admiration of others. Everything included in the definition of beautiful appearance was generously given to her by nature.

International modeling career at Alexandra never received development, and it did not work out with higher education. Not finishing her second year, she took the documents from the university. It was said that this was due to the girl's personal life. She had a young man at school, she mentioned him in her interviews after all-Russian competition. Although no details were given. As is often the case with beauty queens from the provinces, sudden popularity, a long absence from home put an end to the relationship with the guy. She did not like hasty novels, the material well-being of the candidate for boyfriend did not play a paramount role for her. In Moscow for a year and a half Shura never found a new love. Moscow men seemed to her double-minded and too rational, at least she came across only such. In Cheboksary Shura fought off annoying fans, once she was even advised to contact the police. It became calm only with the advent of a 35-year-old in her life Konstantin Chuvilin to whom no one dared to cross the road. Chuvilin was known as a "legalized criminal authority", had a business in the city's trade markets. He had been brought to the police for hooliganism and fights, but he had no previous convictions or jail terms. Signs of attention Shure he had provided before, a year later she agreed to live with him in a "civil marriage", and in 2000 a wedding was planned. The inhabitants of Cheboksary were surprised at the choice of the beauty queen, which was incomprehensible to them. Chuvilin was unattractive in appearance, did not have "palaces" and other attributes of luxury, not to mention the trail of notoriety. Those who knew well Petrov, argued that she would not mess with a rude and uncouth man. "Cool" and insensitive Chuvilin was not for everyone. He treated the girl very carefully and affectionately, helped her mother and sister in material and domestic matters. At shura and her friends Mariana, who led 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 contest, went on stage to put on a Miss National Costume ribbon on one of the participants. She could not work as a fashion model due to being overweight, but she looked good at jewelry shows. One of these events was supposed to take place in Moscow on September 18, 2000, however Shura declined the invitation. This day fell on her 20th anniversary, 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 gunshot to the head on the landing near her fiancé's apartment. Hired by competitors Chuvilin the killer came to "clean up" 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 premature death of the beauty was her, as they said, "written in the family." Her mother and grandmother claimed that they knew how to read fate in the palm of their hand and determined "hit in the head" when the girl turns 20 years. fashion designer Tatyana Sharonova said in one of the TV shows that Shura knew about her future fate, somehow in her childhood she overheard a conversation of her relatives. And therefore, she did not make plans, without much desire she participated in long-term projects, did not "strain" to achieve life goals. Lived for one day. To the funeral Chuvilin and his bride, a multitude of people gathered. T.Sharonova She recalled that day like this: "Here she was. They put makeup on her eyes and lips. There was a feeling that she just went to bed. It was impossible to look at it, everyone roared terribly." Then eyewitnesses from among relatives and friends shura recalled the mystical signals that accompanied those events and resembled scenes from horror films. Shortly before the murder, cockroaches divorced in the apartment, literally pouring down from 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 resonant blows were heard on Afanasiev, as if a sledgehammer was banging on the wall. I also remembered b a similar murder in Greece three years earlier models "Red Stars" Svetlana Kotova, which Russian and foreign media for some reason attributed the title "Miss Russia-96". On the Shura then this news made a depressing impression.
Without exception, all people who knew "Miss Russia-96" spoke of her as a completely peaceful, unforgiving person. And a very modest girl who did not want to flaunt her beauty, even ashamed of her. She often made gifts to relatives and friends: a good watch, expensive cologne, stylish shoes. She herself usually dressed in jeans and sneakers, occasionally in a business suit. She appeared many times at official events in the same dresses. For the complete absence of material claims, even the organizers of Miss Russia fell in love with her, who were tough, not sentimental people, who had gone headlong into financial affairs. There was one not very beautiful moment described in the mother's newspaper interview 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, did not seek justice, although it was a serious sum of $ 5,000. Marina Kruglova: "Sashka was very kind, very unenvious, very open. Absolutely unpretentious. When we went shopping with her to buy clothes, she always said: come on, don't, I have everything. I never asked for anything." In interviews and memoirs of people who communicated with the All-Russian Miss in Life, no one called her by her full name Alexandra: Shurka(mother Tatiana), Sasha, Shura (Marina Kruglova), Sasha, Shura, Shurochka(friends and colleagues) Shuronka(grandmother Galina). A group dedicated to her on VKontakte, with an 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 reason of their own, lying mostly in a practical plane.

at the Miss Model International-97 contest

Alexandra Petrova’s mother spoke about beauty contests: “At one of the local Miss Podium contests, they showed fur coats worn directly on swimsuits. wrapped up, she didn’t even open her fur coat. I think: “that’s all, Shurka, there’s nothing for us to do here.” And suddenly they announce: “Miss Podium” has become Alexandra Petrova! - it was visible in any crowd!" In 1996, the final of the national contest "Miss Russia" was broadcast on the channel "Russia" live on December 14. For the first time it was held outside the capital - in Veliky Novgorod. Of the 40 participants - winners of regional tours, the best 16-year-old Sasha Petrova from the city of Cheboksary was recognized.In 1997, she took part in numerous television programs, show programs, presentations, worked seriously as a fashion model.For a year, Sasha visited many countries of the world, took part in three international competitions.K the title of "Miss Russia" she added gold medal World Championship in the Arts in the nomination "model", received a job offer in Hollywood, but these offers had to be rejected, since Sasha was not yet 18 years old. In July 1997, Alexandra Petrova was recognized as the best at the international modeling competition"Miss Model International", which was attended by representatives of 53 countries. At the end of 1997, in Chuvashia, in the homeland of Alexandra, the contest "Person of the Year" was held. Alexandra Petrova won here too. In 1999 she participated in the Miss Universe pageant. Alexandra Petrova received a serious offer from the international modeling agency Ford Model, but with the condition that she lose weight, learn English and get a short haircut. However, unfortunately, she did not have time to accept this offer. On September 16, 2000, at the entrance, Alexandra was killed with one shot in the head, one day before her 20th birthday. Together with her, two entrepreneurs were shot dead, next to the apartment of one of whom she was.
