Alexandra Petrova is a Russian model. She won the Miss Russia pageant in 1996. The fate of the model was tragic. She did not live to see her twenties and was killed.
Childhood, youth and first victories
Alexandra Petrova was born on September 18, 1980 in the city of Cheboksary. She grew up in a simple family and many residents of the city are still proud of their countrywoman, characterize her only from the positive side. Shurochka (as her relatives called her) was an ordinary girl, but with very outstanding external data. Mom recalled that because of her bright appearance, Sasha often had to face envy. Classmates were openly jealous, and some of the teachers disliked.
Sasha Petrova dreamed of becoming a doctor, she studied well enough at school. On the advice of her relatives, she studied at the Cheboksary school of models "Miss Volga". The girl was noticed even then and predicted a great future for her in a modeling career. Alexandra at the age of 15 won the Miss Cheboksary contest, and then Miss Chuvashia.
Sasha Petrova was remembered by everyone not only for her bright appearance, but also for her modesty, as well as for her adherence to principles. Her mother told how, at one of the city competitions, the girls were offered to walk the catwalk in fur coats worn over their underwear. At some point, they were supposed to open their fur coats, but Sasha did not. She paraded dressed and no longer hoped to win. It was very surprising that Petrova won that competition.
In 1996, Alexandra took part in the Miss Russia contest. It took place in Veliky Novgorod and was broadcast on federal channels. Out of 40 beauties, Sasha Petrova was recognized as the best. This victory brought her worldwide fame and glory. The beauty of the girl was admired by foreign agency owners and directors. In 1996, she was called to Hollywood, but Alexandra refused, since at that time she was only 16 years old and she did not want to leave her native country.
Model career
After winning the Miss Russia contest, Alexandra Petrova actively worked as a fashion model and took to the podiums. She has visited many countries of the world. In 1997, Sasha took part in several international competitions. She won the finals of the world art championship in the "model" category.
Russian beauty took part in competitions:
- Miss Model International (1997);
- "Person of the Year" (1997, Chuvashia);
- Miss Universe (1999).
She did not manage to win the title of the most beautiful girl in the universe, but in other competitions she won a landslide victory. Sasha wanted to build a career in Moscow, worked a lot, but was disappointed with the way the modeling business works in Russia. There were few good offers at the time. The girls were promised little money for the shooting, which was difficult to live on.
Alexandra Petrova began to think about moving abroad, but her age did not allow her to do this, since a lot of approvals had to be done. When Sasha turned 18, one of the foreign agencies invited the girl to his place. At that time, she had gorgeous long hair. But the agency's management needed a slightly different type. They put forward a condition for Petrova. She had to lose weight, cut her hair and learn English. Those close to Alexandra recall that Alexandra always loved to eat and did not want to torment herself with various diets. For this reason, she reacted rather cool to the proposal.
In Moscow, Alexandra Petrova was unlucky in her personal life. She complained that all men paid attention to her status. They were interested in Petrova as the winner of a prestigious competition, and not as a person. Failures on some fronts forced Sasha to return to his hometown. She wanted to start her own business and thought about moving abroad. Sasha went to college at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, cut her long hair. But all plans were not destined to come true. In September 2000, Alexandra was shot. She did not live only 2 days before her twentieth birthday.
Personal life and fatal love
Alexandra did not start a serious relationship with young people until she met Konstantin Chuvilin. This man had his own business in Cheboksary. Opinions about him are conflicting. Some people who knew him closely characterize Konstantin as a talented businessman, a just person, while others pointed to Chuvilin's belonging to the criminal world and spoke of his cruel nature.
Relations with Constantine developed rapidly. Alexandra's mother and sister assure that she was truly in love with him. The ill-wishers said that Sasha needed money, but those closest to him had a different opinion on this matter. Petrova just wanted personal happiness. She was a little tired of fame and of having to make money on her own. She wanted to be needed by someone and to feel support and support in the face of such a serious person. Young people lived together for several months and wanted to get married.
The director of the modeling agency recalled that shortly before her death, she and Alexandra discussed the possibility of opening her own business and there were several options
- modeling agency;
- atelier shop;
- fashion boutique.
Konstantin promised to help her in these endeavors. But on the fateful day of September 16, 2000, the deputy general director of the central market of Cheboksary Radik Akhmetov, the authority Konstantin Chuvilin and Alexandra Petrova entered the entrance of the house, where the killer was already waiting for them. Chuvilin was killed first, and Sasha and Radik tried to escape, but the bandit bullet still overtook them. The crime has not yet been solved, but it is obvious to everyone that Sasha became an accidental victim in it.
