He became a victim of criminal settlements: the tragic fate of “Miss Russia – 1996” Alexander Petrova Zvezda

Many envy beauty queens: it would seem that they have everything – beauty, fame, fans, the opportunity to get rich. However, an ugly truth often hides behind such a bright facade.

Alexandra Petrova was born in Cheboksary in 1980. She dreamed of becoming a beauty queen from an early age, so in 1996 she went to Veliky Novgorod, where the All-Russian Miss Russia competition was held that year.

In the final, 40 girls fought for the title, but only one became the winner. So Sasha’s dream came true: she was the one who won the title “Miss Russia – 1996”.

Of course, winning such a beauty show opened many doors for the beauty. She was even invited to Hollywood! However, the girl refused the tempting offer, because at that time she was only 16 years old.

Without going to Hollywood, Alexandra continued to build a career in Russia. She also continued to participate in beauty pageants. So in 1997, she secured the title of the main beauty, becoming Miss International and defeating the representatives of 50 countries of the world. And 2 years later, Petrova represented Russia in the Miss Universe contest.

When Sasha was 18 years old, she became interested in one of the foreign modeling agencies – Ford Models. A number of conditions were announced for cooperation there: cut luxurious long hair, lose weight and master English. It is clear that the girl was ready to go: very soon she really cut her hair and also submitted documents to the institute at the faculty of foreign languages. Unfortunately, the promising collaboration was not destined to materialize.

At some point in the life of Alexandra Petrova, the Chuvash crime boss Konstantin Chuvilin appeared. According to rumors, he was very kind to Sasha and his whole family, provided financially for his beloved and her relatives, and therefore, apparently, no one interfered in their communication.

It is also possible that Petrova fell in love with the banal and closed her eyes to the criminal affairs of her lover. Unfortunately, this carelessness literally cost her her life.

On September 16, 2000, Alexandra was killed. “Miss Russia – 1996” turned out to be an accidental victim, because the target of the killer was not her at all, but Chuvilin and his friend Radiy Akhmetov. In the end, all three were killed. As in the 1990s, criminal groups tried to divide spheres of influence by force, but the price was the life of one young girl.

Sasha was only 20 years old. Shortly before her death, they were going to marry Chuvilin, they wanted to become parents.

Almost all of Cheboksary came to Alexandra’s funeral.
