Yesterday, Lebedev’s granddaughter Diana died in Switzerland. The car in which a 19-year-old girl and her 23-year-old friend were traveling fell from a bridge into the river.


Diana was undeniably beautiful. I feel very sorry for the girl: young, lovely, rich. It would seem to live and be happy. Everything is given - money, health, youth and beauty.

But a terrible absurdity happened, which mercilessly and completely unexpectedly ended the life of a happy girl.

Actually, nothing unexpected. The boomerang law, absolutely expectedly, came into effect in once again proved its inevitability.

You can steal money. You can kill, steal, rob, but no one has yet repealed the boomerang law, and this law always hits where it hurts the most.

In the case of Lebedev, the patient is a young, beautiful granddaughter, whose life was taken away for the sins of her grandfather.

Grandfather, whom I don’t feel sorry for at all. A girl - very much. I can’t sympathize with Lebedev, even though he faced such a loss.

Both Khodorkovsky and Lebedev are real bandits out of 90 who survived.

Just so you understand, it was not the sheep that remained alive, but the most cruel ones. The sheep were shot. Survivors were ruthless wolves.

And what happened to Diana is Lebedev’s answer for his sins. For the innocent old women of Menatep, including. They, like his granddaughter, were also not guilty of anything, but they also did not live out the time allotted to them.

It's better to live like the middle class than to climb to the top using a ladder made of bones. It is better to spread less butter on the bread than to go against your conscience.

Don't do shit, my dears. Be honest - to yourself, first of all. Always fight for the truth. You will always be rewarded fairly.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:10).

Do you believe in the law of karma? Have you ever felt like you were paying for the sins of your ancestors? When you commit certain actions, do you admit that the most unsightly of them can have a serious impact on your descendants?


From childhood they know that the world belongs to them. They don't have to fight for a place in the sun or get food. Thanks to their rich parents, all the blessings of the world are available to them. The only thing that parental care cannot insure against is troubles and misfortunes. And in the same way, the parents then mourn their untimely departed children...

Diana Lebedeva



Diana Lebedeva is the granddaughter of the famous entrepreneur Platon Lebedev, co-founder of Menatep Bank, former board member of the Yukos oil company. Friends called her Lady Di and noted her friend’s easy character and kind disposition. IN recent years The girl spent most of her time in Switzerland, where she studied quite successfully at the University of St. Gallen.


Diana did not need anything from childhood and grew up in an atmosphere of familiar luxury. She loved to sing and often spent time with her friends at karaoke. Like all representatives of the golden youth, she wore exclusively branded items and jewelry from the best jewelry houses.


The tragedy occurred on November 24, 2016. 19-year-old Diana and her longtime friend Azer Yagubov, a student at Franklin College, were driving a BMW from Lugano to Geneva. In the Castagnola area in the canton of Ticino, a car with young people failed to take a turn on a serpentine road and fell into the lake. Diana and Azer died on the spot. Azer Yagubov, who was driving, is the son of a former federal representative of Azerbaijan Airlines CJSC.

He made a name for himself by taking quite a successful part in the “Star Factory”. He was friends with Timati and Dominic Joker, and was very popular among rap fans. Fans still remember the artist and listen to his songs.

He was only 19 years old, loved to sail and play Dota. Yuri Gushchin-Kuznetsov did not suffer from depression, alcohol or drug addiction.


In his suicide note he wrote about his love for the girl with whom he had an affair. Parents young man they refuse to believe that their son voluntarily took his own life. It is impossible to imagine that a young man, in whose life there were no special problems, just passed away like that. The father and mother of Yuri Gushchin-Kuznetsov achieved the initiation of a criminal case for incitement to suicide.

Anastasia Soltan


The daughter of the deputy chairman of the legislative assembly of St. Petersburg, Pavel Soltan, was happy. She was very attached to her parents, and a few months before the misfortune occurred, she married Alexei Plotnikov, her beloved man.


In August 2016, the girl and her parents got into an accident. Her parents died on the spot, and doctors fought for Anastasia’s life for several hours. It took her a long time to recover, coming to her senses after what happened. The husband chose to immediately break off relations with her, without ever visiting her in the hospital.


Anastasia’s sister insisted on continuing treatment, but the girl refused to continue to stay in the hospital. After being discharged, the girl went to her parents’ apartment, from where she jumped out of the window on November 24–25, 2016. Apparently, she never managed to come to terms with the death of her parents and the betrayal of her loved one.

Chingis Gutseriev


The eldest son of the owner of Samfar PFG, M.Video and Eldorado companies, Mikhail Gutseriev, died at the age of 21. The day before, he had been in a minor accident, after which he made his way to the hospital on his own, and then to his home. The accident was not recorded anywhere since its participants agreed right on the spot and then dispersed.

At home, Chingis went to bed, but the next morning never came for him; he died outside. An autopsy showed that Chingis Gutseriev suffered from cardiomyopathy. Death in this case could have been caused by a heart contusion received as a result of the accident.


The young man showed great promise. By the age of 21, he managed to graduate from a very prestigious school in the UK, entered the University of Warwick in Coventry, studied by correspondence at the University of Oil and Gas, and worked as an assistant manager of B&N Bank.

Mikhail Gutseriev was accused of tax evasion in 2007 and was under investigation. In 2010, all charges against him were dropped.

Unfortunately, fame and success are also no protection from losses and tragedies. Stars are used to hiding their pain, going out in public again and again with a smile on their face.

Died in a traffic accident in Switzerland. An elite BMW crossover, in which 19-year-old Diana Lebedeva was traveling, fell into the lake from a bridge. The deceased girl, who chose the pseudonym Ladydd11 for social networks, repeated the fate of the Princess of Wales.

According to Swiss media, the accident occurred on Thursday morning in the south of the country, near the village of Castagnola near Lake Lugano on a serpentine road towards Geneva. Two Russians died in the accident: a 19-year-old girl and a 23-year-old young man who was driving. On Friday night it turned out that Diana Lebedeva was killed. The identity of the young man allegedly behind the wheel has not yet been established.

The press service of the Russian Embassy in Switzerland confirmed that the 19-year-old girl who died in an accident in the canton of Ticino is the granddaughter of the person involved in the “YUKOS case” Platon Lebedev.

According to the embassy representative, the Russian diplomatic mission is currently working to transport the bodies of the victims to their homeland. "This will be done in as soon as possible", the press service clarified.

According to media reports, on Thursday morning, rescuers pulled the car out of the lake using a crane, and the bodies of the young people were lifted by divers.

Judging by the photographs from the scene of the accident, the BMW X6 flew off a section of the road with a sharp bend, knocking down an iron fence on the bridge.

It is possible that an icy road could have been an indirect cause of the tragedy, which, combined with high speed, contributed to the driver losing control vehicle. During the fall, the crossover received significant damage to the body, especially the roof of the car, which was somehow crushed.

A few hours after the news of Lebedeva’s death, comments with condolences from friends and relatives began to appear on her Instagram under the last photo posted.

“Bright, Kind, Cheerful, Beautiful Dianochka! We love you and you are always with us. Kingdom of Heaven! - write her subscribers. - I really didn’t know what to say! Only that I am very offended! Why so beautiful and kind!”

“I’m sorry... but calling an account the nickname of Princess Diana who died in a car accident!?!... unconsciously attracts the same ending,” notes another subscriber of Lebedeva.

On Instagram, the girl is registered as ladydd11, which definitely hints at the name of the princess. Welsh Diana. In this regard, analogies arise with how the princess’s life was cut short - she and her companion died in an accident in Paris. It is also noteworthy that 19 years have passed since the death of the princess in 1997.

Judging by the photographs on social networks, Diana Lebedeva was active social life. It is difficult to judge the girl’s other activities and hobbies from the photographs she publishes. Noteworthy is the fact that a girl with a very impressive appearance periodically posted selfies from inside cars where she was not wearing a seat belt.

The grandfather of the deceased is businessman Platon Lebedev, well-known in Russia and abroad. He was a partner of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, co-founder of the MENATEP bank and a member of the board of the Yukos oil company. In 2003, Lebedev was found guilty of tax evasion, theft, and money laundering and spent 10.5 years in prison, being released in 2014.

Switzerland - favorite place study and recreation for the “golden youth” from Russia. In 2009, the small country was rocked by a scandal with a group of “majors” from Russia, who staged wild races around Lake Geneva in elite supercars, which ended in a major accident.

Then four cars - Bugatti Veyron, McLaren Mercedes, Lamborghini Murcielago and Porsche Cayenne Turbo - started simultaneously from the intersection at the entrance to Bellevue.

Young people raced along the road at speeds of up to 220 km/h, where maximum speed limited to 80 km/h. The race ended in tragedy - 22-year-old Russian Ziya Babaev, driving a Lamborghini, crashed into a Volkswagen Golf, driven by a 70-year-old German pensioner. The impact sent the modest hatchback flying tens of meters away, rolling over several times and crashing into a fence. The man received severe injuries, including his head, but still survived.

The examination showed that Babayev, who is the son of businessman Mehraj Babayev and studied in Geneva in International Center MSU, was drunk at the time of the accident. After the accident he was expelled.

By the way, the other participants in the race were the sons of the ex-owner of the Cherkizovsky market Telman Ismailov Alekper and Sarkhan. The young people drove the Bugatti Veyron and Mercedes McLaren.

Despite the fact that the pensioner did not sue Babaev after paying compensation, the case went to court. Point at trial over Babaev was raised relatively recently. Last year he was given a two-year suspended sentence and fined 10,000 francs. In court, he stated that he repented, admitted guilt, but spoke little about the events of that night, citing that he did not remember anything.

Mahir Yagubov is the father of Azer Yagubov, who together with his granddaughter Russian businessman Platon Lebedeva, Diana Lebedeva, died in an accident in Switzerland, told the details of the life of his son.

According to website, Mahir Yagubov, who worked as a representative of AZAL in Russia for 18 years and is now doing business in the Russian Federation, told AzNews.az that his 23-year-old son Azer lived in Switzerland from the age of 15: “He graduated there high school and entered the university. After graduating from the university, I continued my education in the master’s program, studying in the first year.”

Mahir Yagubov also said that his son was only associated with the granddaughter of Russian businessman Platon Lebedev - Diana Lebedeva friendly relations: “My son was engaged, we were preparing for the wedding. They were friends with Diana, but Diana was more friends with me youngest son. They all studied together. After one of family events Diana asked Azer to take her home from their acquaintances.”

Mahir Yagubov also named probable reasons accident: “Some sites write that the roads were covered with ice, and the car was driving high speed. But in fact that day the temperature was 14-15 degrees Celsius. There is a 90-degree turn on the road where the accident occurred, and it is impossible to drive there at high speed. The cause of the accident was probably thick fog."

Let us recall that the car accident in which the 19-year-old granddaughter of the ex-co-owner of Yukos and former leader“Menatep” by Platon Lebedev, Diana, and Azer Yagubov, took place last weekend in the south of Switzerland, near settlement Castagnola in the canton of Ticino.

The car, driven by 23-year-old A. Yagubov, broke through the fence and fell off the bridge into Lake Lugano. In order to get the mangled car out of the water, rescue services needed a crane.

The granddaughter of Platon Lebedev, the dazzling blonde Diana, was one of the most prominent representatives of Moscow’s “golden youth”, although she spent most of her time in Switzerland, where she received an education at one of the most prestigious educational institutions- University of St. Gallen.

Diana’s main hobby was singing; Lebedeva spent her leisure time in the best karaoke and restaurants in Moscow: the girl, along with her friends, was a regular at the La Maree, Bistrot and Mario restaurants. The owner of a spectacular appearance surrounded herself with objects luxurious life: Diana loved Hermes and Chanel bags, Cartier and Chopard jewelry, floor-length sable fur coats and Victoria Beckham dresses.
