In the last issue of the KP weekly, we talked about how Nikita Dzhigurda became the heir to the will of a rich lonely girlfriend, Lyudmila Bratash. The millionaire died under mysterious circumstances on February 14 this year. Immediately after her death, Nikita Dzhigurda stated that Lyudmila had been killed. And that she left all her 800 million inheritance to the artist and his wife Marina Anisina. Bratash's sister is challenging this will in court. "Komsomolskaya Pravda" found out new details.

Caught luck in the dashing 90s

Many wonder: how did Lyudmila Bratash even become a millionaire? This question was clarified to us by her friend, former military test pilot Mikhail Markov.

In the 90s, Lyudmila knocked down big money for organizing flights for VIPs, Markov told KP. - I worked with Bratash - I made flights, and she established a brokerage structure and was an intermediate link. Usually brokers earn two or three percent, but she earns 30! She said that if I don’t get 10 thousand dollars from the flight, I won’t even pick up the phone. And the oligarchs of the rank of Boris Berezovsky for some reason ordered flights from us through her company. We earned from the flight, let's say, 700 dollars, while bearing all the basic expenses, and her intermediary firm - 10 - 12 thousand dollars each.

So she worked until the 2000s. Then the rich bought private jets and began to fly themselves. Brokers are no longer needed. Lyudmila's company burst (in 2010. - Ed). During her work, Luda, of course, got rich. But it is unlikely that her inheritance totals 800 million.

Scandal over old refrigerator

A close friend of Bratash Galina Zavyalova also doubts the amount of the inheritance.

Luda has never had such huge money! - considers Galina. - I have known her since the time when she came from Minsk to Moscow as a young girl.

In the 90s, Luda invested in a country house under construction. And then she successfully sold it, having gained many times more - about 270 thousand dollars. With this money I bought an elite apartment in Ostrovny passage and a one-room apartment in Strogino. Of course, she still had some money left - then she bought another apartment in Moscow.

Luda lived very frugally. I always searched the Internet for cheaper plane tickets. I remember that my nephew had a scandal because he threw away the old refrigerator: she was sorry. Dzhigurda claims that she has real estate around the world, accounts. Where? I think he said this to give himself importance - the principles of show business worked.

Galina Zavyalova believes that there are many dark spots in the history of her friend's death.

Luda told me that she wanted to be buried next to her parents in Minsk, she says. - But she was buried in a grave with ... relatives of Lyuda's personal driver Dmitry Kuronov!

As KP ​​found out, no criminal case has been initiated into the death of Lyudmila Bratash to this day, the check continues. But the cause of death was finally established - a traumatic brain injury.


Alcohol from the driver

Over the past two years, Luda has become a drunken alcoholic. She categorically refused to be treated, - continues Galina Zavyalova. - It was hard to watch her degrade before our eyes. But after all, someone supported this state of hers. I know that her driver Kuronov always came to her with a bottle. I also saw Dzhigurda visiting Bratash. He could get her, for example, a watermelon, but not a drink. It was Nikita who, after the New Year, took Lyuda drunk from home, loaded him into his car and sent him to the clinic. It was like this: after the New Year, her sister Sveta found me: they say, on January 1, Luda disappeared, she was kidnapped by Dzhigurda! I contacted Marina Anisina in Paris (I know Marina from my youth, I worked with her figure skating coach Lyudmila Pakhomova for a long time). Marina says to me: “You have no idea what state Lucy is in! Nikita couldn't look at it. I myself searched the Internet for a clinic so that at least someone would accept her on the second of January.

During the absence of Luda, it turned out that jewelry and money were stolen from the safe in her apartment - about 250 thousand euros. On New Year's Eve, Luda had a Dzhigurda. And then her driver arrived, he opened the door with his key. He, according to his confession, opened the safe with a spare key and saw that it was empty. Then Luda told me: "Kuronov stole the money from the safe." But later she began to think about both Nikita and her sister.

The last to see Bratash alive were Dmitry Kuronov and his wife. According to the forensic medical examination, Bratash died at 14.40 - three hours after the couple left.

Karma as an argument

The next day the driver came to Lyudmila again. Finding Bratash dead, he called the police.

My sister immediately arrived and saw Luda in the blood, - says Galina Zavyalova. - Sveta cried, told me: "She has a crushed head from behind, from the back of the head." Sveta decided that her sister had been killed. All the fuss, of course, around the inheritance.

Luda was terribly worried that she could not have children. She had an unsuccessful abortion at the age of 25. For her, it was a terrible tragedy. They say that Dzhigurda told her that his son is the karmic incarnation of her child. Therefore, I was not surprised that she became the godmother of Dzhigurda's son. Luda could well write off the inheritance to the parents of her godson - Dzhigurda and Anissina.

How did her relationship develop with men?

She showed me her love - a pilot from France. They lived together. And then Luda found him with another. At the end of her life, Luda was lonely.

"Binge? Try not to buy!

We asked the driver Lyudmila Bratash why he regularly brought alcohol to a drunken woman.

Try not to buy! I'm her subordinate, - said Dmitry Kuronov. - If you refuse, you won't see your salary on the first day. In addition, I knew: I would leave, and she would order a box of vodka on the Internet.

- How did Lyudmila behave shortly before her death?

Usually. My wife and I left, and she was on the Internet.

- And why was she buried in the grave of your relatives?

Because you can get a free place in the cemetery only outside the Moscow Ring Road. In Moscow, a place costs at least a million. And we have a family grave at the Kolomna cemetery. And I also thought: my sister still, when everything is over, she will take Luda to Belarus. Now the body cannot be taken out - until all the circumstances of death are clarified. It is possible to exhume it.


- Dzhigurda said that Bratash's inheritance is 800 million ...

Who are you listening to! By the way, without waiting for a court decision, a month and a half after the death of Lucy Dzhigurda and Anisina broke the locks in her Paris apartment. Moreover, in those two days in early January, when we considered Lyuda missing, and Dzhigurda took her away, 476 thousand rubles were withdrawn from her accounts! When Lyudmila was discharged from the clinic, she asked for bank statements. From them it is clear that the amounts were withdrawn on January 2 from three of her bank cards through ATMs. At her request, she was allowed to view the CCTV footage near the ATMs. On the video - Dzhigurda and his driver. Then Dzhigurda said that he was withdrawing money for Luda's treatment at the clinic. Lucy made a request to the medical institution, how much was paid for her treatment, but no answer came. By the way, Lyuda downloaded the data of her investigation to a USB flash drive and handed it over to my wife.

- Dzhigurda suspects you of involvement in the death of Bratash ...

Rave! Luda's death is absolutely unprofitable for me. I lost my job after she left. I had a working day sometimes - at 10 in the morning I came to her, and at 12 in the afternoon I was already leaving. Didn't stress at all. For the kind of money that she paid me, now I will have to work hard from dawn to dusk.

COUNT

How much did Bratash really accumulate?

1. The business lady owned an elite apartment in Ostrovny passage, building 8. Its cost is from 120 million rubles.

2. An apartment on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, 50 sq. meters is estimated at 50 to 70 million.

3. An apartment on Dunayevsky Street - about 10 million rubles.

4. Lexus car - the cost is about 7 million rubles.

5. An apartment in Paris - about 32 million rubles.

As a result, according to the most rough estimates, 219 million rubles are obtained.

There is money in bank accounts. How much exactly, lawyers find out. According to the driver Bratash Dmitry Kuronov, at the time of Lyudmila's death, she had about 800 thousand euros in her accounts (approximately 55 million 640 thousand rubles). A lot, of course, but not 800 million, as Dzhigurda assured.

VERSION

Polina DASHKOVA:

No love passion

To analyze this story, "KP" asked the writer, author of detective stories Polina Dashkova. She immediately began to ask clarifying questions:

According to the conclusion of the forensic examination, what is the cause of Lyudmila's death?

At first, doctors thought that she died due to a detached blood clot. But there were injuries on her body. The medical examiner's report indicated that death was due to a traumatic brain injury.

People who drink often die this way. The man got drunk, fell, broke his head and never regained consciousness.

I think if she bequeathed her fortune to someone, then only to her lover. It is very likely that he was Dzhigurda. Perhaps he somehow pulled this will out of her in a fit of love passion - he persuaded her to sign it.

Another question: why did she draw up a will not in Russia, but in America? It is very strange. A smart woman, she had a business, which means that when drawing up a document, she had to consult with lawyers whether a will drawn up in America was really valid in Russia. And one more thing: a will always includes a list of all property - this is not here. Finally, if a woman were serious about this will, I think she would find an opportunity to make it again in Russia, so that there would be no doubt.

- A month before the death of Lyudmila, a theft was committed in her apartment. Dzhigurda assures: the driver is to blame ...

The driver had the opportunity to enter the apartment and had access to the safe - which means that he could take the money at any time. He could slowly pull out of there, and no one would notice anything. Most likely, the theft was committed by a person who usually did not have access to the safe and who took advantage of the situation when the hostess was drunk.

Recordings from CCTV cameras at the entrance showed that three hours before Bratash's death, the driver and his wife were in her apartment. Dzhigurda wrote on social networks: “They went to kill Lucy!”

Well, I came to the apartment as to work. I do not see anything illogical in the actions of the driver. The classic question is: who benefited from her death? The driver is not. The woman paid him a salary. Sister - also unlikely. The more Dzhigurda blames others, the more suspicious. A competent, objective investigator should understand history.

LAWYER'S OPINION

"There is a chance to win the court"

Dzhigurda has a certain chance to win the trial, - said "KP" Lawyer for Inheritance of the Bar Association "Knyazev and Partners" Maria Rulkova. - If the American notary, who certified the will, confirms in court that, yes, this woman came to him, she was of sound mind, that he certified her will, then with strong evidence, you can win the case. For example, if he presents the court with a video recording of how the document was drawn up.

In general, according to the laws of our country, a will by a Russian citizen in America should not be drawn up at an American notary, but at the consulate of the Russian Embassy in the USA. It will look like an ordinary testament in Russian, only it will be indicated where it was drawn up - that is, not a notary, but a consul assured. And yet, in some cases, the court may also recognize an improperly executed will as valid. And then Dzhigurda will win the court.

Jewels of Lyudmila Bratash. Photo: Personal archive of Dmitry Kuronov

According to Dmitry Kuronov, jewelry worth 600 thousand euros (more than 41 million rubles) disappeared from the Bratash safe. Here is a photo of just a few of them. Dmitry explained: Lyudmila herself photographed the jewelry. She viewed such purchases as an investment and kept track of her investments.

Lyudmila Jonatovna is the daughter of a military pilot. She was born in 1960 in Minsk, and her childhood was spent near the airfield in Machulishchi, where the aviation unit in which her father served was stationed. Perhaps that is why Lyudmila literally raved about aviation. However, she received a diploma in journalism, and in the eighties she moved to Moscow.

Bratash began her metropolitan career with journalism: she collaborated with Moskovsky Komsomolets, wrote articles about music, and paid special attention to the cult group of that time, Gorky Park. Then Lyudmila took an official position in the press center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, finally, realized her old dream of aviation. However, she did not begin to master the flying profession, but organized her own company called Al Air, specializing in air travel for VIP clients, more precisely, in mediating the organization of such flights.



Bratash’s main talent was the ability to negotiate: she rented planes, organized an exclusive service on board (and even baked pancakes herself for an early breakfast of passengers), could send a flight without prepayment, negotiated with fuel suppliers during a crisis, was on “you” with oil tycoons and billionaires, including Boris Berezovsky. According to people who collaborated with Lyudmila at that time, from one flight she received income for mediation of at least 10 thousand dollars, while the amount due to direct performers was two orders of magnitude less. At the same time, from the end of the 90s, Bratash was also engaged in the resale of real estate - first she bought an unfinished country house and then managed to sell it with a very good profit, she acquired apartments in the capital. As for the personal life of a business woman, she was not successful. Bratash was never officially married, and had no children. She talked about her marriage to a French pilot, but her family did not confirm such information. Of course, a beautiful and wealthy woman did not experience a shortage of fans, but acquaintances say that all men were only interested in Lyudmila's money. In 1998, during her stay in Minsk, she met Nikita Dzhigurda, who was filming in the third film "Love in Russian". According to the actor, a close relationship immediately arose between them.


At the same time, Bratash's financial successes were declining. VIP clientele acquired their own aircraft, mediation in organizing flights began to bring less income, but Lyudmila was still considered a very successful woman - she was quite thrifty, took care of herself and did not drink alcohol. She maintained friendly relations with Dzhigurda, who claimed that they were together in the "Order of the Rosicrucians", and the wedding of the actor with Marina Anisina, which took place in 2008, was played in the Bratash country house. It was there that mutual friends noticed that Lyudmila was abusing alcohol.

In 2009, Bratash became the godmother of Anisina and Dzhigurda's son. According to stories, this was done to work off karmic debt and the opportunity to become a mother after a late pregnancy interrupted in youth. However, karma was ruthless - the airline had to be liquidated, and Lyudmila was increasingly seen drunk. Dzhigurda accused the driver Bratash Nikita Kuronov of this, who allegedly wanted to embezzle her money. In turn, Svetlana Romanova, Lyudmila's sister, accused Dzhigurda and Anisimova of the same, and spoke well of the driver, who valued his employer and took care of her.


In 2010, during the joint vacation of Bratash, Anisimova and Dzhigurda abroad, a will was drawn up, then registered with an American notary, according to which the state of Lyudmila Jonatovna, in the event of her death, passes to Dzhigurda and Anisimova, according to the actor, for the construction of a spiritual center. According to the notary, during personal meetings and telephone conversations in 2015, Bratash confirmed her will and that she was disinheriting her sister and nephews.

During the New Year holidays in 2016, Bratash was taken to the clinic in a state of severe alcohol intoxication. Upon her return, she stated that money and securities had disappeared from the safe, and money had also been withdrawn from her bank accounts. And on February 15, the guard and driver Bratash, entering her apartment, found the woman dead, with a broken head and surrounded by empty bottles. As the examination showed, the cause of death was a detached blood clot, and the head was injured as a result of a fall. The funeral of Lyudmila Bratash was carried out by Dzhigurda, the woman was buried at the Kolomenskoye cemetery, where the Kuronov family burial is located (against the desire of Romanova to bury her sister in Minsk).

The case of Bratash's will was submitted to the court, and according to Dzhigurda's statement, the amount of the inheritance was 800 million rubles. However, according to preliminary estimates, taking into account the cost of three apartments in the capital and one in Paris, a Lexus car and bank balances, the real value of the inheritance is about three times less. However, this, like the authenticity of the will, will be decided by lawyers. Dzhigurda did not appear at the first court hearing scheduled for October 11 in this case, but at the meeting on November 25 he confirmed his determination to fight for the inheritance. And after 4 days, a scandalous video of a sexual nature appeared on the network, which featured an actor and a woman who looked like Bratash, who, apparently, was unconscious.

Dzhigurda confirmed that he and Lyudmila were in the video, and that this scene was not violence, but the moral resuscitation of a woman. He also stated that he had already issued a Ukrainian passport in the new name of Janatan El-Air Bratash Ji Pogorzhelsky von Gan-Eden. The result of the scandal was a divorce lawsuit from Anisimova (the first attempt to divorce the couple in 2015 ended in reconciliation). On December 2, during the first meeting on this case, Dzhigurda attacked his wife's lawyer with his fists, then promised to post another video with Bratash as proof of their love. The new scandalous video was removed from Youtube, but saved on Dzhigurda's twitter.

Lyudmila Bratash was badly hurt during the fall, and there was no one to help her

The other day it became known about the mysterious death of the once successful business woman 56-year-old Lyudmila Bratash. The owner of a private luxury airline company, Al Aire, was found in her 5-room apartment in the west of the capital. Bruises and abrasions were found on the body of the entrepreneur.

The deceased was a close friend of Nikita Dzhigurda and Marina Anisina, was the godmother of their eldest son.

Upon learning of the death of a woman, the actor made a loud statement, blaming her driver Dmitry for the death of Bratash. According to him, the 50-year-old man was going to fictitiously marry Lyudmila, tortured her, injected her with drugs. Dzhigurda also claimed that all the money, jewelry and a will left in the name of his children disappeared from the businesswoman’s apartment.

"MK" decided to understand this story.

Lyudmila Bratash took the Russian elite to Courchevel and herself loved to relax there.

The body of Lyudmila Bratash was found on February 15 in an apartment in an elite residential complex in Ostrovny passage.

The personal driver of the lady Dmitry called the police - together with the security guard, the man came to visit the hostess, since she did not get in touch for a while. Security opened the door with his key. Dead Bratash was lying in a room surrounded by empty bottles of wine.

The local policeman explained that he was called to the place by 12.00 to examine the body. There was already a medical examiner in the apartment - he recorded an old abrasion on his chin and a head injury (typical of a fall from a height).

According to the conclusions of the expert, Bratash had a blood clot. However, the final results of the causes of death will be announced in 30 days. But most likely, Bratash passed away on her own. The guard confirmed that the woman had been drinking alcohol for more than a month, this could have affected her health.

Human rights activists managed to get in touch with businesswoman driver Dmitry Kuronov, whom Nikita Dzhigurda hastened to accuse of almost murder.

In the interests of the investigation, I am not disclosing any information. One thing I will say is that the prosecutor, the court, but not Dzhigurda, makes the charges.

By the way, Dmitry is officially married, has two daughters. Has been a driver for over 15 years. Neighbors speak positively of him. The only thing they remember is an episode of a month ago, when Dmitry, being drunk as hell, asked for a loan of 100 rubles. This surprised the residents, since previously no Muscovite had been noticed in his addiction to Bacchus.

As the senior assistant to the head of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia in Moscow told MK, a pre-investigation check is being carried out on this fact.

Who is Lyudmila Bratash? Veterans of "MK" remembered her: long ago, back in the 80s, then just Luda was published several times in our newspaper. She wrote about music, in particular, about the Gorky Park group. And then - abruptly changed my life. First I went to the press center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But even then she dreamed of the sky: her father, a retired military man, often took her with him to the airfield. And in the end, just a lady turned into a business woman, becoming a pioneer of VIP aviation.

“The specifics of our business is that we do not need to buy aircraft. It's expensive and pointless. It is necessary to rent cars from the owners and properly organize the flight system and air services. That's all. ”, Bratash said in 2003 in an interview with Expert magazine. She remembered how she negotiated with tankers during the fuel crisis, how she baked pancakes in her kitchen at night in order to be in time for the flight in the morning and deliver them to her wealthy clients for breakfast with caviar. However, by the time the interview was published, all this was already in the past: oil magnates, bankers and politicians, prime ministers flew on her planes. The owner of Al Air is the only woman in Russia who has succeeded in this exclusive business.

After that interview, we continued our communication with Lyudmila, - says Mumin Shakirov, one of the authors of the material. - The last time we met was three years ago in her chic apartment. She looked great. I didn't notice any changes. I wrote a book about self-made women. One of my heroines was just Lyudmila. She was well known in business aviation, the oligarchs personally called her, the billionaires with whom she was on “you”, asked to organize a flight. Judge for yourself, she was the only one who managed to send boards without prepayment, if the client did not have time to pay for the flight in advance. It shows that she was trusted.

- Why does the Federal Air Transport Agency know nothing about her airline?

She did not have her own fleet, she rented planes. Her main task is the ability to negotiate with customers, operators, and organize a flight. And she did it brilliantly.

We contacted other acquaintances of Bratash.

The last time I saw Lyudmila was 10-15 years ago, - recalls a friend of the deceased. “Then she found me on Facebook. We communicated with her only about stray dogs - Luda felt sorry for the animals. She said that she often happens in Greece, invited me to go on vacation with her. There was a feeling that she was ready to invite any person on a trip with her. Apparently, she needed communication. She also said that she was friends with Marina Anisina. She complained that she could not give birth to a child. Got two dogs. There were rumors that she had an affair with some musician. There were many men around her, but her personal life did not work out.

And here is what another friend of Lyudmila Bratash recalls.

On Friday, Lyudmila was buried at the Khavansky cemetery. Her close friends weren't even told about it. The funeral seemed to be handled by Dzhigurda and his wife. Marina Anisina did not call anyone and did not notify of farewell. We do not know if Lyuda's relatives from Belarus managed to arrive. After all, her own sister lives in Minsk, her nephews, with whom Lyuda had a warm relationship.

- How did she make friends with the Anisina-Dzhigurda couple?

Most likely, Lyudmila first met Anisina in Paris. Bratash lived there for a while. They got closer. Luda baptized one of the children of the star couple. They even went on vacation together. By the way, the wedding of Dzhigurd and Anisin was played on the chic Bratash hacienda. I wouldn't be surprised if it's at her expense. Then Lyudmila sold this hacienda and bought another one. Some time ago, Bratash had a microstroke. For some reason, Anisina took her to her home. Luda was not admitted to the hospital. Isn't it strange?

- On the eve of the funeral, Nikita Dzhigurda accused her driver of the death of a business lady ...

Nikita decided to make himself loud, but this time very cheap and dishonorable. With his assumptions, he insulted the person who, to the last, was next to Luda and pulled her out of various troubles.

- What do you have in mind?

All Luda's acquaintances knew that she had been drinking heavily lately. When drunk, she did not control herself, she could not stand on her feet, hence the bruises on her body. Only the driver could tolerate her drunken antics. Perhaps this man was the most devoted in her environment.

- Bratash had an apartment in Paris, apartments in Moscow. Did the men help her?

She bought everything for herself and an apartment in Paris. She never had rich sponsors. She herself is from Belarus, but she has been very successful here. Count yourself lucky. Luda has never been married (in an interview with Expert, Bratash said that she was married for the second time to a French pilot - ed.). She does not have kids. Men deceived her, used her position, money, and then disappeared. In fact, she was a rich but unhappy woman.

- Have you talked to her for the last time?

I stopped talking to her a year ago because I don't like drunken promises.

How can an alcoholic run an airline?

Are you not aware? The company has been gone for a long time. Everything is sold. The last time in her life there were no men, no work. But once she organized private boards for deputies, oligarchs. Remember the noisy trips of our millionaires to Courchevel? So, basically, they flew there with its sides. Such a bright life and a terrible lonely death.

KP continues to deal with a detective story regarding the inheritance of Nikita Dzhigurda. Recall: the artist presented a will, according to which a lonely rich business woman, the former owner of the El Air VIP air transportation company, Lyudmila Bratash, leaves all her property to him and his wife, figure skater Marina Anisina.

According to the lawyer Anisina, the amount of the inheritance is a billion rubles. But Bratash's acquaintances assure: we are talking about an amount 3-4 times less. Be that as it may, the will is challenged in court by the sister of the deceased, Svetlana.

There are indeed many questions about the document.

“I didn’t even have a visa”

I worked for Lyudmila's company from 1996 to 2010 inclusive, - ex-employee of El Air Irina Egorova told Komsomolskaya Pravda. - The will that Dzhigurda shows was drawn up in the USA in 2010. But I can state with full responsibility: Lyudmila Bratash did not fly to America in 2010. At that time, she did not even have a visa.

- Why are you so sure of it?

Because I was organizing all her flights - booking hotels, buying tickets and so on. Lyudmila did not do this work herself - the office did it. And for the last couple of years of the company's existence (until 2010. - Ed.), only me and the accountant remained in the office.

Until 2003, she only flew to America on state visits, along with Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev. At first, she organized flights for him on a Boeing, which she took from the Swiss. Then Aliyev flew several times a year to treat a sick heart at a clinic in Cleveland. Lyudmila organized flights for him and often accompanied him - she was friends with him. And she never flew to America on her own. After Aliyev's death in 2003, she stopped visiting the United States. Therefore, she could not be there with Dzhigurda either.

Lyudmila's sister Svetlana Bratash asked me to speak in court about the will - I agreed.

“I signed blank forms”

Irina Egorova also questioned Lyudmila's notes, in which she calls her sister a thief and asks to protect her from the driver.

This is not her handwriting, - Irina Egorova assures. - Because I worked with her for many years, I know how she wrote. The signature on the will that Dzhigurd shows is similar to Lyudina. But it's easy to fake it. And we forged it in the office - on some minor papers. She allowed us to do this, because she often went on a binge, but she understood: the company should work smoothly.

Sometimes she signed blank forms - on a sheet with a heading of her company. We had such sheets in our office, and at her home. By the way, Dzhigurda submitted a will on the letterhead of the company. I believe the will is a forgery.


Business cards in shoeboxes

I do not like that now the name of Lyudmila Bratash is put on a par with the name of Dzhigurda, - continues Irina Egorova. - She really was the ancestor of VIP air travel in Russia. The clients of her company were Alisher Usmanov, Roman Abramovich, Boris Berezovsky, large banks, oilmen. Lyudmila personally communicated with them. All of the first Russian Forbes twenty billionaires are her former clients.

- Did you see Dzhigurda near Bratash?

Lyudmila talked a lot in the office about Dzhigurda as a regular participant in her parties. But she said that he was a clown, a clown. Lyudmila was a lonely woman, bored, rich. Often hosted parties. Dzhigurda attended them to amuse the audience. She put up with him for Anisina. I know that they asked Lyudmila for money and she gave it to them. But sometimes she refused. I remember Lyuda said: "Dzhigurda was completely stunned - he asks me for money for the Maidan."

- And how did Bratash meet Anisina?

They crossed paths at some parties. And actress Elena Kondulainen introduced Dzhigurda to Luda. Lyudmila had very serious connections at different levels. She often asked me: sort out business cards. She had so many business cards from people that I just laid them out in shoe boxes! This is what people have to do with aviation, this is something ... You can’t imagine how many people she knew - and those in power, and security officials, and stars. Some think that she had a personal connection with the driver or with Dzhigurda. It couldn't be. These men are simply not her level.

BY THE WAY

There was no murder

The prosecutor's office completed a pre-investigation check into the death of Lyudmila Bratash and concluded that death occurred naturally (injury as a result of a fall). The initiation of a criminal case at the request of Dzhigurda was denied. However, the artist, with the conclusion that it was a natural death, did not agree and wrote statements to the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee. A re-check has been scheduled.

ANOTHER OPINION

Inheritance - at least a billion rubles

After listening to the story of the former employee of the Bratash company, Irina Egorova, we decided to give the floor to the other side.

Lyudmila flew to America in 2010 and made a will there, - assures Marina Anisina. - And the will is genuine, certified by a US notary. I have no doubt that we will win the trial.

Anisina sent us to her lawyer Andrei Knyazev for a detailed commentary.

An employee of the Bratash company claims that Lyudmila did not fly to America in 2010. And he thinks the will is a forgery.

We do not agree with this statement. There is evidence - both testimonies and documents - that Lyudmila Bratash traveled to the United States and that she made a will there. We will submit all paperwork to the court.

By the way, Lyudmila Bratash's company "El Air" was registered in New York. As far as I know, the deceased in New York still has an apartment. Lyudmila Bratash's sister is trying to challenge the will for obvious reasons - because she wants to receive an inheritance. But so far, I have not seen evidence from the other side that the will is invalid.

What is the value of the estate property?

Not less than a billion rubles. But the question, in general, is not about money. Lyudmila Bratash, when she made her will, left everything to the children of Nikita and Marina (one of them is her godson). And Nikita has already stated that he wants to use this money for charity - to help children. That is, good intentions.

AND AT THIS TIME

The showman was suspected of stealing

As the former driver Bratash Dmitry Kuronov told Komsomolskaya Pravda, he provided the police with information indicating that Dzhigurda was withdrawing money through an ATM from Lyudmila's bank cards.

On New Year's holidays, the safe in Bratash's apartment was robbed: 250,000 euros and jewelry worth 600,000 euros were lost, says Dmitry Kuronov. - On January 1, Dzhigurda took Lyudmila from her house with him. Later we found her in a clinic near Moscow: Lyudmila was treated for alcohol abuse.

When she came to her senses after drinking, she began to conduct her own investigation. She requested bank statements and found out that on January 2, almost 500 thousand rubles were withdrawn from her three cards. Recordings from CCTV cameras near ATMs recorded that Dzhigurda was withdrawing money with his driver.


Lyudmila called Dzhigurda and asked why he was withdrawing money without her knowledge. He replied that he paid for her treatment at the clinic. But in the clinic, the treatment did not cost 500 thousand, - Dmitry Kuronov continues. - PIN codes for bank cards were kept in a safe. So, Dzhigurda opened the safe, since he found out the codes? But in addition to the codes, money and jewelry disappeared! Shortly before her death, Lyudmila handed over the data of her investigation to me. And I gave the information to the police. An investigation is currently underway.

The police confirmed to us in an informal conversation that the check was really being carried out.

In the near future, a criminal case will be initiated on the fact of theft, - a source in the police told KP. - The first suspect on it will be Nikita Dzhigurda. During the pre-investigation check, we called him for explanations, but he did not come.

- Dzhigurda went to America.

If he does not appear to testify of his own free will, he will be ordered to be arrested in absentia. And if there is evidence, he will be prosecuted. And if a person is found guilty of theft, he will not see the inheritance. Moreover, the assumption arises: was the will made after the fact to hide the theft? Like, if the heir, then he would not steal from himself? This question will probably be asked by the investigation.

CALL SISTER

Samples handed over to police

We got through to the sister of the businesswoman Svetlana.

I'm going to apply for Dzhigurda about the will, she said. - There is a court, I do not recognize the will.

- There is an opinion that Bratash's notes were not written by her ...

1. The will is issued on the letterhead of the airline owned by the businesswoman. According to colleagues, Lyudmila often signed blank forms so that the work would not stop if she was not there.

2. Cliche print is a common practice for notaries in the USA.

3. The signature of Lyudmila Bratash does not convince opponents of Dzhigurda. They say that an autograph can be easily forged.

VIEW OF AN INDEPENDENT EXPERT

Can also be on the form.

We asked our questions about the will to an independent specialist, lawyer of the Moscow Chamber of Advocates Igor Putilov.

Igor Anatolyevich, did an American notary have the right to certify a will drawn up on the letterhead of a private company? In this case, the airlines.

Yes. Theoretically, you can make a will on anything. It is important that the testator personally comes to the notary. In America, notaries are qualified people. If the form seemed questionable, the notary would reject it.

- On the red rectangular seal is the date - 2012. And on the will itself, the year 2010 is indicated ...

In this case, the seal indicates the validity of the notary's license. Specifically, until 2012.

- On the document at the top left, some kind of transparent seal is barely visible - what is it?

Most likely, this is a cliché of a notary. Forms of US notaries have additional protection: when you put a metal cliché on paper, you hit it - and a trace is pressed through.

In general, the document looks convincing, but the issue with it is not the easiest. It is likely that the will was drawn up in accordance with the norms of the United States and will be recognized as valid in relation to property located on the territory of America. The same applies to property in other countries (we do not take Russia), if these countries have signed agreements with the United States on legal assistance and the form of this will does not contradict the requirements of their legislation.

As for the application of this will in Russia, this is a moot point. In general, this case is quite interesting, and I'm curious what the court will decide.

BY THE WAY

Wife leaves Dzhigurda because he refused to be treated by psychiatrists

It looks like deja vu, but it's true. Nikita Dzhigurda is getting a divorce. His wife Marina Anisina again filed documents for divorce in the Moscow court. In the winter of 2015, the 55-year-old showman and the 41-year-old skater did not complete the matter - after the artist promised to undergo treatment with a psychiatrist, the compassionate wife withdrew the application from the court. And now, a year and a half later, the situation repeated itself.

Marina Anisina could file for divorce from Nikita Dzhigurda due to the mysterious death of a businesswoman friend who bequeathed them a multi-million dollar inheritance

On Tuesday, Marina Anisina decided to put an end to relations with her husband Nikita Dzhigurda - to divorce. As follows from the statement of the woman, the reason for the separation from her husband was the irreconcilable contradictions between them. The first meeting of the divorce court is scheduled for November 2. We contacted Marina's lawyer Sergey Zhorin, who commented on Anisina's decision.

(Recall that in January 2015, the star couple already tried to formalize the divorce. However, three months later the couple reconciled).

- Sergey, now everyone is hearing a scandalous case about a multimillion-dollar inheritance, for which Dzhigurda and Anisina are fighting together. Marina even attended the first meeting about the will. She spoke quite warmly about Nikita. There was no talk of divorce then. What happened in the last couple of weeks?

“Inheritance is a different story. Nothing to do with divorce. As for the relationship in the star family, everything has not been good there for a very long time, which was the reason for filing for divorce.

Why didn't Anisina divorce a year ago?

She was about to get divorced. But Nikita then went to see her in Paris, where Marina lives, apologized for a long time, promised to be treated, swore that he would improve, he said a lot of things.

- What does "promised to be treated" mean? He is sick?

- Dzhigurda is not always adequate, to put it mildly. I don't think anyone doubts this. Moreover, then he showed outbreaks of aggression, which led to certain unhealthy moments. The thing is, I can't elaborate on this topic just yet. Despite everything, Marina does not want to endure all the quarrels in public, which is commendable. This is a rare quality for a woman.

So, a year ago, Dzhigurda and Anisina somehow agreed that he would improve. But he did not fulfill his agreements. In addition, this inadequate state of his became aggravated over time, it became completely unbearable to communicate with him. Accordingly, Marina this time has already made a firm decision to divorce. And now she is unlikely to turn back.

"Moscow's comsomolets" , 10/11/16, "Dzhigurda's wife came to court for the inheritance of Bratash, hung with sensors"

Today, the first hearing was scheduled in the Kuntsevsky Court of Moscow in the high-profile case of the multimillion-dollar inheritance of business lady Lyudmila Bratash - they were waiting for a decision on who would get luxury housing in Moscow, real estate abroad, money in bank accounts - outrageous Nikita Dzhigurda or relatives deceased. Dzhigurda's wife Marina Anisina came to court, hung with medical sensors, and reported on his departure to the United States and health problems.

Recall that after the death of Bratash Dzhigurda, he declared that he was the heir to the entire fortune of the entrepreneur. The man submitted to the court a will allegedly drawn up by the deceased six years ago in America. Relatives of the deceased disputed the will, citing the fact that the actor could force the woman to sign a document in his favor. Dzhigurda filed a counterclaim.

The meeting on the inheritance case was postponed for a good reason - the absence of the main character in the scandalous story of Nikita Dzhigurda. Only the wife of the actor Marina Anisina appeared in court at the appointed time.

Nikita is now in America, he does not feel well, so he could not fly to the court, ”Anisina complained. - In fact, I'm not in the best shape either, - in support of her words, the woman demonstrated ultrasound sensors for cardio studies attached to the body.

In general, Anisina looked good. Neatly styled hair, bright makeup, black ankle boots with huge stilettos, a coat trimmed with mink. Marina happily posed for the camera, smiling shyly.

Anisina was not alone in court. The athlete was accompanied by an impressive support group. Among those present, Nikita Dzhigurda's faithful assistant, his personal driver, two women were seen, one of whom dropped in a private conversation: “I was friends with the late Lyusya for thirty years, but for some reason no one interviews me. I have a lot to say. But what Nikita is now accused of is incomprehensible to me.

While the women and the driver were discussing their current problems, Anisina was talking to her lawyer. It was noticeable that the athlete's mood was combative.

Lyudmila was not going to die. Everything happened suddenly. In my opinion, everything is sewn with white thread. I have nothing to fear, the truth is on my side. We have a real testament in our hands. I hope that we will win, - Marina confessed to the TV reporters.

When asked if her family was receiving threats, as Dzhigurda had previously stated, Anisina shrugged her shoulders: “No one threatens me, no one accuses me of anything.”

Anisina was confident. It seems that even at this initial stage of the struggle for the inheritance, she no longer doubts victory.

When asked if journalists could be present at the meeting, the skater answered with a firm refusal. At this moment, the accompanying representatives of Dzhigurda also began to fuss: “Why is this necessary? What kind of journalists? Who let them in here?" It became clear that, most likely, further meetings could also be held behind closed doors. When big money is at stake, extra publicity is useless.

Meanwhile, Nikita Dzhigurda is now really resting in America. A week ago, he posted a selfie with skyscrapers in the background. He posted the picture on his page on the social network and signed: "I'm in America, friends ...". The actor did not explain the reason why he went to the States. True, he himself said earlier that in America he had a meeting with representatives of the Kabbalistic order. However, acquaintances of Dzhigurda suggest that he went to the United States to resolve issues related to Bratash's will. And a couple of days ago, the actor hinted through social networks about a possible change of citizenship: “Putin did not give me citizenship, but the President of the United States will!” (Dzhigurda has a Ukrainian passport. - Auth.)

After the death of Lyudmila, Bratash Dzhigurda changed a lot. He shaved his beard, visibly rejuvenated. The new appearance gave reason to gossip that the actor decided on plastic surgery. Nikita Dzhigurda also decided to change his first and last name. In the near future, he intends to become Jonathan El-Air Bratash-Ji Pogorzelsky von Gan Eden. It is not difficult to guess that Bratash is the surname of the deceased, and the prefix El-Air is the name of the airline that Lyudmila Bratash once owned.

Irina Bobrova

"Moscow's comsomolets" , 10/06/16, "Dzhigurda's hereditary fever: the driver of the late business lady Bratash revealed the showman's secret"

The scandal around millions and real estate business lady Lyudmila Bratash continues. Nikita Dzhigurda intends to confirm his rights to her inheritance in court. The showman blames her driver for the death of Bratash. We spoke to the late driver Dmitry Kuronov and his wife to find out their version of the mysterious events.

The death of 56-year-old businesswoman Lyudmila Bratash could easily be lost in the news bulletins. The woman died on February 14, 2016. Forensic experts ruled that he had a traumatic brain injury. And they explained: a fall from a height of one's own height. Nothing supernatural. In recent years, Bratash has been drinking heavily. In the absence of crime, they did not initiate a case.

The banal story would hardly have continued if Nikita Dzhigurda had not appeared in history. After the death of the once successful lady, the actor burst into confession. He stated that Bratash was the godfather of his son and the closest friend of his family, and bequeathed all his multi-million dollar fortune to him. Further more.

Dzhigurda believes that Lyudmila Bratash was not killed by alcohol at all, the woman could have been killed by her personal driver Dmitry. The actor also blames the death of his girlfriend and her own sister. The showman put forward different versions: “the driver was going to marry her”, “he wanted to take possession of Bratash’s fortune”, “all the most valuable thing from her safe was gone”, “the will was stolen”. His words would hardly have been given due attention if Dzhigurda had not appeared in court with a will allegedly drawn up by the deceased. It says that the entire inheritance of Bratash goes to Nikita Dzhigurda. Now the actor intends to seek through the court the movable and immovable property of Lyudmila Bratash.

We met with the same driver, the late Dmitry and his wife Liana. These people presented their version of the tragic events.

To understand who Lyudmila Bratash is, you need to rewind the temporary tape back. About 20 years of commercials. Dashing 90s. It was then that Lyudmila Bratash made a dizzying career. A woman rose when she organized a private luxury air travel company. Everything that is acquired by overwork is just from the past. Bratash's clients were Boris Berezovsky, Roman Abramovich, well-known bankers, businessmen, oilmen, eminent artists, presidents of different countries. For many years of work, Lyudmila has made a decent capital.

The 2000s made their own adjustments. The oligarchs began to buy their own yachts and planes. And the services of Bratash ceased to be needed.

The once successful businesswoman was out of work. Lyudmila was thrown overboard of a luxurious life. But Bratash knew how to count money. Therefore, I did not let everything accumulated to the wind. The woman invested in real estate - she bought three luxury apartments in Moscow and one in Paris, bought jewelry, put part of the funds at interest in banks. Provided myself with a financial airbag for a rainy day. It seemed that everything was calculated. She could not calculate one thing, that a rainy day would come for her much earlier than she could have imagined.

“Many of Marina Anisina’s entourage did not understand her choice. Perhaps Nikita had some influence on her.

“Lucy felt sorry for Anisina, and therefore helped her family”

We met with Dmitry Kuronov and his wife Liana in their apartment. An ordinary five-story building, far from being in the very central district of Moscow. The setting is spartan. From treats - instant coffee, marshmallows, gingerbread, cigarettes.

Look at how people live who, according to Dzhigurda, stole millions of the deceased, Dmitry laughs. - I'm unemployed now. Who would have thought that Lucy would die so quickly, and I, in turn, would lose my job so soon. Haven't been able to save anything. I haven't been able to get a job in the last 8 months.

- Has the case been closed?

After the hype raised by Dzhigurda, checks resumed. Do you think the case was closed quickly? No matter how. The investigation took a long time. At first, they thought that thieves could really kill Lyudmila for profit. But these assumptions were dismissed. Bratash lived in an elite area, the yard was guarded, there was a pass system. Strangers did not get inside.

- As far as I understand, you are the first who found Bratash dead in the apartment? Did you call the police?

Yes, on February 15 I came to Lyudmila. It was my first working day of the week. She usually opened the door when I arrived. This time the door was locked. I called. No one answered. I went down to the guard, asked if Bratash had left the house. Then we called the shift supervisor, called the commandant of the HOA. I had spare keys to her apartment in the car. But I didn't really use them. This time I took the keys, we opened the door and saw the body. They called an ambulance, a district police officer and the police. The investigative team arrived, and it began ...

Nikita Dzhigurda beats his chest, claims that he was the closest person to the deceased. How close were they?

Dmitriy:- Maybe he considered himself as such, only the last two years he did not appear in her life. I admit that Lucy called up Marina Anisina, but not Dzhigurda. After all, I was constantly with Lucy, she shared everything with me. I'll tell you one story. In 2014, trouble happened to Lucy. She broke her leg. She was operated on. My wife brought homemade food to Luce's clinic every day. I drove her in a wheelchair for six months because she refused to develop her leg. Then we took care of her at home. I took her for dressings, massages. For all the time that Lucy was being treated, Dzhigurda never visited her, did not call, did not inquire about her health. Anisina once jumped into the hospital for 5 minutes. Nikita appeared at Lyudmila a few months before her death.

- How did Lyudmila Bratash meet Dzhigurda at all?

Dmitry's wife, Liana, joins the conversation: - Lyudmila once lived in France, where she ran an air transportation business. I bought myself an apartment in Paris. At some event, she met Marina Anisina. The girls became friends. Dzhigurda then was not in sight. Then Anisina began to come to Russia more and more often, she met Dzhigurda on a television project. Twisted love-carrot. We decided to get married. And there wasn't much money. And they haven't got their own place yet. Then Lucy offered them her country house in Novakhovo for a wedding celebration - a village between Rublevka and New Riga. Later, Anisina and Dzhigurda often used this house. For example, all the shooting that Marina did in Moscow at that time took place in Lucy's house. This is how Dzhigurda became a member of the Bratash house.

- Did Bratash often help the Dzhigurda-Anisina couple?

Often. When Anisina sold her house in France, Lucy helped them find an apartment in Moscow. They were in close contact for a while. Lucy even went with them to rest in Turkey. In January 2014, Dzhigurda shared with Lyusya that he was going to go to the Maidan, but for this he needed money. I asked Bratash. She refused: “I don’t play such games.” According to Bratash, Nikita often asked her for money for his projects. And a couple of years ago, Marina and Nikita again turned to Luce. Marina asked Lucy for 250 thousand euros to buy property in Greece. She also begged to be her guarantor at a bank in France. Bratash was afraid of loans, loans, so she did not go to meet them. They bought real estate. Lucina, a good friend in Greece, the owner of a real estate company, helped them. I don’t presume to say, but they didn’t seem to pay for the apartments in full.

- Why did Bratash help them if she was not sure about these people?

Lucy felt sorry for Anisin. After all, the circle of her acquaintances did not accept Dzhigurda. Many of Marina's entourage did not understand her choice. Moreover, there were plenty of applicants for her hand and heart. Perhaps Nikita had some influence on her. I only heard how he came and constantly shouted to her: “Kuma. Kuma…”

- Lyudmila was generous?

Not to say that Lucy was very generous, but she supported loved ones. How many times did she tell me: “Go to France, have a rest there. You will live in my house, I will provide you with everything. But I always kept my distance. Understand, we are ordinary people, it is inconvenient for us to use other people's benefits. Even though we became friends.

Dmitriy:- We have two daughters, so Lucy constantly repeated: “Let the girls choose any place on the world map and go, I will pay for everything for them.” After all, I talked with Bratash for more than 20 years. During this time, we managed to practically become related. Nevertheless, I always observed subordination. He called her by her first name in public. Lucy really helped people a lot. For example, she paid her employee for childbirth in an expensive clinic, the second helped with the purchase of an apartment. She did not refuse if her friends needed something. And to go far, she paid for my hip replacement surgery.

- Was Bratash really as rich as they say? Or are they already legends?

Dmitriy:- Lucy had her own private transportation airline. She rented the planes of the Kosmos company, which transported astronauts. These planes then did not fly much, and they stood on the territory of the airport. Lucy offered to extend the life of the liners. At her own expense, she reequipped the salons of ordinary Tu under VIP. And her planes began to be in great demand.

Liana:- Lyusya told me that it was on her planes that Berezovsky took prisoners from Chechnya. The private airline Bratash did not stand idle even for a day. Lucy worked around the clock. Well, amassed a very decent capital.

“Men used her and betrayed her”

- It is known that Lyudmila Bratash drank. When did she start drinking?

Dmitriy: Lucy has been drinking heavily for the past ten years. At first, her business began to fade. But with her money and brains, it was possible to exist comfortably until old age. And open a new business. But she said: “I can’t pull my own airline, but I don’t want to do something small.” It seems to me that she began to drink from loneliness. After all, she was an interesting woman, a lot of men were spinning around her, but everyone wanted to fuck something with her, she did not feel love for herself.

Didn't anyone have feelings for her?

She had a man, French Philippe. I know him well, we still communicate. She loved him. And he her. They could have had a family, but Philip left her. He was tired of her endless feasts. I personally drove her to restaurants, buffets. Lucy has always been the very last customer, after which the restaurant was closed. She had drunkenness. Once she flew in from France, I met her at the airport. So she could not walk to the car on her own legs. She was transported by airport staff on a cart. And there are many such stories. After all, all her friends turned away from her for this very reason. Lucy did not know how to drink a little. And the drunk Bratash was not the most kind interlocutor.

Liana:- You won't wish so much betrayal as Lucy endured. She was going through a breakup with Philip. She sobbed that he had betrayed her and abandoned her. Everyone betrayed her. But those people who betrayed her, she deleted from her life. About 20 years ago, she was robbed - money and jewelry were stolen from the safe. She then had an apartment on Kutuzovskaya. Lucy knew the girl who robbed her. But she did not write a statement to the police. She took pity on her children. But communication with that madam immediately stopped.

Why didn't Bratash give birth?

Liana:- Lucy wanted children, but, apparently, it did not work out. One day she showed me a picture of two girls. They were 7-8 years old. She looked after them in the boarding school. I thought about adopting. Why I changed my mind, I don't know. The absence of children is another personal tragedy of Bratash. But she didn't talk about it. Perhaps that is why she loved other people's children so much. After all, she already had 5 godchildren, whom she pampered, filled up with gifts.

Did she realize that she was sleeping?

Dmitriy:- Of course, I understood. I told her: “Lyudmila, with your money you can recover from any disease.” We offered her treatment, but she brushed it off: "It's all a scam." After all, she didn’t even let doctors near her when they wanted to put her on drips.

- Dzhigurda says that she began to drink in recent years. Maybe he did not know the true state of affairs?

He knew everything. In 2012, Lucy went with Dzhigurda and Anisina to rest in Greece. Marina called me from there: “Dima, what should I do? Lucy is naked in the room, lying on the floor all bruised and drunk.

- Could a drunken Lyudmila be persuaded to do something?

Liana:- Lucy was very demanding and stubborn. She always did only what she wanted, she never listened to anyone in her life. She was very principled. And always controlled everything in any state.

- She did not indulge in drugs?

She always told me I would drink as much as I wanted, but I never smoked or tried drugs in my life. She was proud of this. And in this respect there was flint.

“250 thousand euros and jewelry disappeared from the safe. They also stole documents for Moscow real estate”

Let's restore the chronology of events. So, Nikita Dzhigurda disappears from the life of Bratash for two years and reappears on the eve of the last New Year.

Liana:- Dzhigurda and Anisina showed up in December last year. The fact is that Lucy always prepared gifts for her five godchildren. For the children of Dzhigurda, although she was the godmother to only one of them, in two years she had accumulated a bunch of gifts. They were in boxes in the room. At the end of December, Marina came to Luce's house. According to Bratash, Anisina complained to her that there was no money at all, there was nothing to take children to school in France. Marina then asked Lucy to give her her car in Paris, so that there was something to carry the kids on.

Dmitriy:- I came to Bratash on December 21st. Lusya told me from the door that she had given the car to Marina. Well, I gave and gave, I advised only to re-register the car for Anisina so that Lucy would not pay taxes.

- Were you well acquainted with Anisina and Dzhigurda?

We knew each other well. Communicated with them normally. There have been no conflicts before. Nikita always seemed strange to me, but nothing more. Everything changed after the New Year. On December 27, Dzhigurda called me: “We are taking Lucy to our place for the New Year so that you can rest for the holidays.” I was surprised. Lyudmila let me go until January 10 anyway. For the holidays, my wife and I were going to go to my mother-in-law in Bryansk. On January 1, before leaving for vacation, I stopped by Bratash's, as I left a shower stall in her garage - a gift to my mother-in-law. I was met by a security guard: “Dzhigurda has been with Lyudmila since yesterday evening.” I went up to the apartment. I was met by a surprised Dzhigurda. Lucy was lying on the bed in a tracksuit. Nikita grabbed Bratash by the arms and began to carry some kind of heresy like “Lucy was an angel with us yesterday.” I took a closer look at Nikita, he seemed to be sober. Therefore, I did not have any bad thoughts. I left them and went home. In the evening of the same day, the house guard called me again and informed me that Lucy was being taken away somewhere. I rushed to Bratash. Opened the door. There are only dogs in the house. This seemed strange to me. Previously, Lucy had never left the dogs alone. If she was absent for a long time, she gave the animals to me. Just in case, I decided to check the safe. Got a spare key. Lucy completely trusted me, so I knew where the keys were. I opened the safe and it was empty.

- What was in the safe?

There were about 250 thousand euros in cash and jewelry. Lucy herself estimated the contents of the safe at 600,000 euros. I started calling Anisina, Lucy, Nikita. Phones were unavailable. Later I was contacted by Marina, who was in France at the time. She promised to take care of the situation. I calmed down a bit. He took Lucy's dogs, and my wife and I left for Bryansk.

Liana:- When I found out that the safe was empty, I immediately thought - this is not a clean place. Knowing Lucy, one could assume that she could give money to the same Dzhigurda, but to give all the contents of the safe to anyone and be left with nothing is not about her.

Dmitriy:- Lucy never scattered money, even drunk. In any state, she counted money.

Liana:- In a state of intoxication, she could forget where she put the ring, earrings. The husband sometimes returned from her with the words: “Today we have been looking for a bracelet all day. Found”, “Lost earrings. Found." The only thing that Bratash did not find was an expensive ring. It disappeared in Turkey, during her joint vacation with the Dzhigurdy couple. Lucy then thought that she put the jewelry in the pocket of her tracksuit, and it fell out.

- Was Bratash's last savings stored in that safe?

No, there were still bank accounts. But Lucy still would not give away an expensive watch, a 5-carat diamond ring.

- In the end, did you find Lyudmila?

On January 2, Anisina called and said that Dzhigurda had sent Lucy to a closed clinic, where she would be treated for alcoholism. Later we learned that Bratash was admitted to the clinic only on the evening of January 3rd. Where she was for two days is unknown.

Dmitriy:- With clinic too there was a strange history. When I asked Dzhigurda for the address of the hospital, he flatly refused to name it. That's when I got suspicious. I contacted Lyudmila's sister, Svetlana, who lives in Belarus. He informed her that money had disappeared from Bratash's apartment, and Lusya Dzhigurda herself was taken away in an unknown direction. Sveta arrived in Moscow, and on January 5 we called the police. On the same day, we discovered another loss - the documents for Bratash's Moscow real estate disappeared.

- Was Dzhigurda summoned for interrogation?

Liana:- He was checked and released. Lusya made herself felt only on January 8th. She called her sister and said that she would be back in a couple of days. But at the appointed time, we did not see her. Then Svetlana again turned to the police. She asked me to find Lucy. She was told that Bratash had written a note in the clinic that she did not want to see her sister. In turn, Dzhigurda ordered the guard of the house where Bratash lived not to let my husband into the territory on the basis of some kind of note allegedly from Lucy. Then they began to accuse Dmitry of the theft.

- When did Bratash return from the clinic?

In total, Lucy spent more than a week in the clinic. Then she came back, sent me a text message so that I could bring the dogs. I came to her house and found Lucy in a state of prostration. She barely moved her tongue, seemed to be slow. I began to ask her: “What happened? Do you know that you lost money and jewelry? Dmitry is blamed for everything. She nodded, “I know. Only two people enter my house - Dmitry and Dzhigurda. Maybe I hid myself. There was no point in further conversation. I understood that Lucy had not yet fully recovered. The only thing I reminded her: "Dzhigurda said that you fired Dimka." She was surprised: “I didn’t fire anyone.” On that we said goodbye.

- After Bratash returned from the clinic, where was Dzhigurda?

Dzhigurda and Anisina did not leave Lucy a single step. All the time were next to her in the apartment. No one was allowed near her. And on the first day after Lucy returned from the clinic, Nikita bought her cider: "A little bit." Sister Bratash Svetlana, who had not yet had time to go back to Belarus, told us all this. And on January 17, Dzhigurda practically escorted Sveta out of the house.

- Did Dzhigurda go to the police about the missing money?

He called the police. He demanded that Lyudmila write a statement that my husband had robbed her. Lucy refused. With us, Bratash then interrupted communication. She rarely called me, and only when Nikita was not around. He didn't let go of her a single step. Only on January 28 did I receive an SMS from Lucy: “Come with Dima. Nikita went to France." And on January 30, she wrote to her husband: “Dima, 100 percent it’s not you. Dzhigurda cheated. We have saved this message. The next weekend we came to Lucy. Bratash has finally come to her senses. And she asked in a businesslike way: "Tell me what happened here."

“Nikita was not interested in where and at what time Lucy would be buried. During this time, he was giving interviews.”

Liana: We told her everything from the very beginning. Lucy, in turn, said that the money had disappeared not only from the safe, almost 500 thousand rubles had been debited from her accounts. She then made a request to the banks, where and when the money was withdrawn from the cards. I found out that on January 2, 156 thousand were withdrawn from one card, 200 from another and 120 thousand from the third. She also asked to see the video surveillance cameras that are installed above the ATMs where the money was withdrawn. We have these shots. In the pictures - Dzhigurda and his driver. Nikita later said that he was withdrawing money to pay for Lyudmila's treatment at the clinic.

- And where did he get the code from the card?

The codes were kept in a safe. Lucy also tried to get a bill from the clinic for her treatment. Sent inquiries there. But never received an answer. By the way, when we asked Lyusya if she was really being treated for alcoholism there, she made round eyes: “I was given masks, massages, and that’s all.” Later it turned out that the clinic where Lucy was lying specializes in weight loss programs.

Dmitriy:- When I told Lucy that in addition to money and jewelry, documents for apartments were missing from her office, she was shocked. In a matter of days, we began to restore documents and conduct operations so that no one could make any transactions with real estate. In the absence of Dzhigurda, Lucy met with influential acquaintances, consulted on all these issues. She made an inventory of the missing property and was going to go to the police to write a statement. She copied all the information she collected - extracts from Sberbank, video footage - onto a USB flash drive and gave it to me: “Let you have it too.”

- Marina Anisina was aware of what happened? She was in France.

According to Lucy, she called Anisina and told her about her suspicions. Marinka answered calmly, saying that if Nikita took the money, she would divorce him. And that's it. We assume that Anisina could know everything. For example, when sister Bratash was looking for a clinic where Lucy was put, she called Dzhigurda. He shouted into the phone: “You are late, everything has already been rewritten on us. You are nobody at all." Sveta then contacted Anisina. And she repeated the same words as Nikita. It was then that we realized that Marina was aware of Nikita's affairs.

- After a trip to France, Dzhigurda contacted Bratash?

Nikita no longer contacted Lyudmila. Didn't come and didn't call. And you know what's the crux of this whole story? Lucy did not have time to write a statement to the police. So the one who got the jewelry and money was very lucky. I am nobody Bratash and have no right to write statements. Lyudmila's sister never saw the contents of the safe. Therefore, the topic of theft itself closed.

- Do you remember what Lyudmila Bratash did the day before her death? Maybe you noticed something strange in her behavior?

Liana:- On February 14, she called us in the morning and asked to come visit. She complained of a headache. We then realized that she had started drinking again. Lucy asked her husband to bring a bottle of white wine. We brought it, otherwise she would have ordered a box of vodka via the Internet, as she usually did. On that day, she was strange, they noticed that she was hungover. She complained that she didn't feel well. Before leaving, Lucy told her husband: "Dima, see you tomorrow." And we left. The next day, Dima, as usual, arrived at Luce's by 10 am. Nobody opened the door for him. Luda was dead. And soon Dzhigurda began to distribute interviews in which he blamed my husband for the death of Bratash. He said that Dimka robbed her, drugged her, raped her, that he re-registered all the real estate documents for himself, and so on.

- Did Dzhigurda personally contact you after death?

Dmitriy: He never contacted us. Nor did he express condolences to his sister Lucy.

- Is it true that he was not allowed to attend Bratash's funeral?

Dzhigurda was not interested in where and what time the funeral would be. Sister Lucy and I took care of the mourning events. They buried Bratash in our family grave, we had one place. The funeral went quietly. Some of her co-workers, relatives and our family were present. Lyudmila had no friends left at the end of her life. Her former business partners knew where the memorial service would take place, but no one came. While we were burying Lucy, Dzhigurda continued to blame us for her death through the media. I remember he was indignant that we, they say, wanted to cremate Lucy. What kind of nonsense? The investigators immediately explained to us that the body cannot be taken out of the country, let alone cremated, because exhumation is possible, too much of the inheritance is at stake, anything can happen. After all, Lucy was originally planned to be buried in Minsk, in a family grave. Did not work out. The investigator did not even give Lyudmila's passport to her sister, he said that anything could happen to the document in the morgue. The passport remained in business. We issued a death certificate based on information from the police.

Today, Dzhigurda declares that he is the heir to the entire fortune of the deceased. Could it happen that Lyudmila really made a will for him?

Liana:- Lucy did not write any will to her sister. Always said: “Why? All the same, everything will go to my sister, she is my closest relative. Shortly before her death, Lucy told me that she knew that Nikita was claiming her apartment in France. Lucy even thought to issue a deed of gift to his son. She understood that her sister Svetlana did not need this property, she would not be able to serve her. But she never wrote a will. Meanwhile, Anisina seems to have been living in her apartment in France since April.

Dmitriy:- I have no doubt that the court will figure out how genuine the will is in the hands of Dzhigurda. Nikita claims that Bratash wrote it six years ago when she was in America. But at that time she did not go to America.

- What state does Dzhigurda claim?

For all. These are three apartments in Moscow. Each costs about $2 million. Lucy has about 800 thousand euros left in her accounts. The sister of the late Svetlana was to enter into the inheritance on August 14th. And on August 12, Dzhigurda brought his will to court. Why was he silent for so long? Also strange.

- Why does Dzhigurda accuse you of all mortal sins? You're not claiming an inheritance, are you?

I can only guess. It just so happened that at some point I ruined his plans. If I had not returned to Moscow for the holidays, perhaps before January 10, Lucy would have been processed, and she would have rewritten the property to the right person. But I arrived, called my sister from Belarus, turned to the police, made a fuss, and the case began to spin. Perhaps Dzhigurda did not forgive me for this.

"Russia today" , 10/25/16, “The husband of figure skater Anisina Dzhigurda promised to “blow everything up” with a coming-out on October 28”

Figure skater Marina Anisina told R-Sport on Tuesday that she had made the final decision to divorce showman Nikita Dzhigurda and had already filed an application. Previously, the star couple was already close to divorce: in February 2015, Dzhigurda accused his wife of cheating with her figure skating partner, Anisina filed for divorce, but changed her mind in March, as the couple reconciled. Dzhigurda specifically for Sport Stories spoke about how he feels before the divorce.

“Kill me, but I will not back down. I have no reason to live on this planet, I know that we are immortal, I am an occultist, I starved for 48 days, I saw death, people were dying in my arms. I revived people, reanimated, but not in order to endure the lawlessness of jackals and Judas, who rob in front of the whole country, taking advantage of the fact that they have power and money. I already won. Even if they bang Dzhigurda, everything will come up. I have 28 (October) coming out in Moscow. I will make a confession that will blow everything up, ”said Dzhigurda.

According to the showman, Anisin seemed to have been replaced. “She is no longer a wife, she herself applied without me. I love her and am grateful to her. I don’t have a single bad word about this great woman. I was and am happy. Her mother 9 years ago said that Dzhigurda had bewitched her daughter, just like I say now: they stole from me, they bewitched my woman. This is not the Anisina that was with me. This is someone else's, tough, cynical, as they knew her before meeting with Dzhigurda and were afraid. I was not afraid, I captivated her with my heart of will, and we gave birth to gods in love with her, ”said Dzhigurda.

“Marina knows that now in America I will receive a passport in a different name. None of us have any complaints. My wife was kidnapped and scared. 100 years ago, I would have challenged (lawyer Sergei Anisina) Zhorin to a duel and simply discharged a pistol at him. For six months, he did not bother not only to meet with me, but to talk on the phone, ”Dzhigurda emphasized.

“Divorce is inevitable, it is agreed upon by us, we remain friends, the children remain with Marina. Everything that is acquired is for Marina, I fulfill my obligations. Anisina is the last woman of Dzhigurda, but Janatan El-Air Bratash Ji Pogorzhelsky von Gan Eden already has a woman, a bride, a Kabbalist. This is a person with whom we are in the same order, ”he added.

“Through lawyers, Marina was stolen from me. I talk with the mother of my children, for more than a year we have not been sleeping as a man and a woman, while we meet, we met with the children, everything is civilized. She is in Europe under police protection, ”said Dzhigurda.

The actor admitted that he feels contempt for Anisina's lawyer Sergei Zhorin. “Mr. Zhorin violates all ethical and legal norms. Today I say: I was not going to talk about the divorce. They wake me up and say that Marina has filed for divorce. Mr. Zhorin promotes divorce and does it. Let it not show itself to my eyes, because I will pay a fine for a hooligan, but I will remind him that I am the king of the ring of honor and did not do boys like him, ”concluded Dzhigurda.

In 2007, Anisina took part in the TV show “Dancing on Ice. Velvet Season ”, where she performed in tandem with Dzhigurda. In February 2008, Anisina and Dzhigurda got married. They have two children - 7-year-old son Mik-Angel Krist and 6-year-old daughter Eva-Vlada. Dzhigurda recently radically changed his image, shaving off his beard, and then changed his surname, saying that he would henceforth be called Janatan El-Air Bratash Ji Pogorzhelsky von Gan Eden.
