After it became known about the death of the famous psychic Ilona Novoselova, many became interested in her mysterious biography and rumors about a gender change.

Clairvoyant, medium, healer, finalist of the sixth and seventh seasons of the “Battle of Psychics” project, as well as a participant in the reality show “Battle of the strongest. Psychics are investigating"

Ilona Novoselova was born on November 2, 1987 in the city of Pavlovsky Posad, in the Moscow region. At birth, as it became known from the scandalous investigation of the NTV channel, it was Andrei Novoselov. However, it is clear to say that Ilona transsexual It’s impossible, since neither the NTV channel, nor the public, nor schoolmates provided facts confirming a gender change.

She remembered the moment of her birth and told the following about it:

I remember a little of those seconds when I was in my mother's womb. Or rather, I clearly remember that feeling, as well as the immediate moment of my own birth. Like all normal children, the first sound I made was a cry. And not from the light of ultraviolet lamps or a change of environment, but from the unusual cold.

The future TV star studied at school number 1, and she had conflicting relationships with both classmates and teachers.

Difficulties at school led to the fact that from the age of 12, Ilona already studied at home, when she realized her gift, since two years before that she saw her grandmother in the mirror, who was no longer in this world.

Rumors that Ilona Novoselova changed her gender appeared after she and her fiancé were kidnapped for ransom.

The couple was released, however, the Investigative Committee became interested in their documents. It turned out that Ilona Novoselova’s lover underwent sex reassignment surgery. It turned out to be transsexual Oleg Petrov from Yaroslavl, who became a woman by getting rid of male genitals.

Investigators from the Investigative Committee, investigating the case of the abduction of TV star Ilona Novoselova and her fiancé, found out that the victims of the crime were transsexuals.

The operatives who freed the finalist of the famous television show and her fiancé from captivity were very surprised: the young clairvoyant man, identified according to the documents as Oleg Petrov, in fact turned out to be a girl.

As it turned out, the lover of 26-year-old Ilona Novoselova recently underwent sex reassignment surgery. Oleg Petrov, a 21-year-old native of Yaroslavl, became a woman, thus got rid of male genitals and began calling himself Lana K.

At the same time, Ilona Novoselova herself appeared according to the documents as Andrey N. from the town of Sergiev Posad near Moscow.

The psychic herself denied the information that she is transsexual and was born a man. No photographs could be found online before the gender change. There is one photograph circulating on the Internet that allegedly shows Ilona as a school-age teenager. But, firstly, there is no similarity between the personality in this photograph and Ilona Novoselova. Secondly, the second participant in the photo did not appear anywhere on social networks admitting that she was photographed next to Andrei Novoselov.

Today, all that supporters of the version that Ilona Novoselova is a transsexual can offer is the girl’s tall stature, low voice, large feet, and somewhat rude style of behavior. But these are just signs that Ilona had some kind of transgenderism.

Let us recall that on June 13, Ilona Novoselova committed suicide by falling from the sixth floor of her apartment after a quarrel with her lover.

The mother of the deceased said that on the eve of the tragedy the girl had a very strong quarrel with her boyfriend.

The guy decided to leave the girl and threatened that he would leave for Chelyabinsk, where he came from. Ilona was categorically against this turn of events, and when the guy was distracted, she rushed to the balcony and jumped from the sixth floor.

The girl was found in the morning on the canopy of a dental clinic.

Previously, information was announced that Ilona Novoselova was a man and changed her gender. Journalists could not find out the truth for a long time, because Novoselova even won the trial on this issue.

Later, the ubiquitous scribblers talked to Ilona’s neighbors; she had lived in this house since childhood. Indeed, Ilona was Andrey as a child, but from a very young age the child dreamed of becoming a girl. Having reached the age of 18, Andrei had sex reassignment surgery and turned into Ilona Novoselova.

Ilona’s friend, Kazhetta, who also participated in the show, said that Ilona did not undergo the operation of her own free will. The girl told her friend in confidence that at the age of 13 she was possessed by an otherworldly force, which guided the whole life of the young lady.

Ilona suffered from phantom pain and was very angry with herself for changing her sex, but what had been done could not be undone. Novoselova told her friend that if she remained a man, she could meet the woman she loved and live her life happily.

Kazhetta is sure that the cause of death was not a scandal, because Ilona’s man had left more than once, but always returned.

According to the clairvoyant, Ilona was tormented by pain and life on hormonal drugs.

The funeral took place yesterday, only the closest people were present at the ceremony.

The witch was cremated, which was the desire of Ilona Novoselova herself, this is exactly what she asked for during her lifetime.

They did not dare open the coffin, since the body was badly mutilated, and Ilona was also afraid that her enemies would not be able to use her energies or the coffin for their own dark purposes.

Ilona Novoselova: the mystery of the death of the finalist of the “Battle of Psychics” has been revealed

The life of a participant in a famous television project was full of contradictions. Everything is mixed up here: gender reassignment, war with the federal channel, unbridled temper and memorization of Muslim prayers

The life of a participant in a famous television project was full of contradictions. Everything is mixed up here: gender change, war with the federal channel, unbridled temper and memorizing Muslim prayers.

Artyom Nikulin - Kazan

A famous participant in the “Battle of Psychics,” 30-year-old Ilona Novoselova, died in Moscow. She was found dead under the windows of a house on Entuziastov Highway. The psychic lived on the sixth floor with her lover. Neighbors say the couple often quarreled. Swearing has become commonplace for them. At some point, residents simply stopped paying attention to the eccentricities of young people. Perhaps that is why they did not attach any importance to the noise that was in the apartment on the day of Ilona Novoselova’s death. But let's talk about everything in order.

The girl gained fame thanks to a super popular program on the TNT channel. She participated in the “Battle of Psychics” project in 2009 and took 2nd place. But the fame of the paranormal abilities of the 21-year-old witch began to spread throughout Russia with incredible speed. They started making appointments with Ilona and looking for meetings with her. According to friends, the girl charged from one client 30,000 rubles. She could have at least 8-9 of these every day. People's love quickly lifts Ilona to the Olympus of popularity.

Four years after the TV project, Ilona ends up in crime chronicles. Novoselova and her boyfriend are kidnapped, demanding a ransom of 7.5 million rubles. The criminals get all the money and release the hostages. The psychic told the police that she knew one of the kidnappers. This is the builder who was renovating her apartment. Later, law enforcement agencies managed to catch the attackers.

According to Ilona, ​​she was forced to drink beer, and, as she stated, some drugs were mixed into the drink to suppress the will.

They poisoned me there. All the time they gave me something to drink, some kind of nasty stuff, after which my legs felt like wobbly. “I was just sliding all over,” the NTV.Ru website quotes Ilona Novoselova as saying.

Following these events, the NTV television company in the program “Emergency Incidents” stated that Ilona Novoselova actually changed her gender at the age of 18 - before that she was a guy named Andrei. The presenter reported that Ilona’s mentor Irina Bogdanova even tried to dissuade her ward from the final sex reassignment operation. This fact was confirmed by Alena Selitskaya, who was at the “Battle of Psychics” together with Ilona. Novoselova was really different from others. She didn’t know how to walk in heels, she stumbled all the time, and had difficulty handling women’s things.

The reaction to Ilona Novoselova’s NTV was immediate. She published a short video on social networks in which she denied information about a gender change.

In connection with negative events, I would like to say: I do not have, never had, and never will have any mentor. Irina Bogdanova - she did not pass and did not prove her abilities. There is a myth that I am supposedly a transsexual and had a gender reassignment. This is also not true. And who I communicate with and what my environment is like is my personal business,” she said in the video.

At the same time, she did not provide any evidence: childhood photographs, words from relatives and acquaintances with whom she had communicated since school age, explaining this by the fact that she dropped out of school early.

At the age of 8 I went to school. My classmates didn’t accept me, I didn’t understand them and kept to myself. I couldn’t get along with the teachers either because I didn’t think they were right. In general, from the age of 12, I stopped attending school and began studying at home, devoting more and more time to my abilities,” the psychic told about herself.

On her website, the clairvoyant Ilona wrote that she had the gift since childhood, or rather, even from a past life. Novoselova remembers her previous incarnation as the girl Eleanor from Germany in 1800.

In this life, the gift began to manifest itself from birth. Since childhood, I described to my mother people whom I had never seen before; as it turned out later, they all died before I was born. I could tell what the weather would be like, whether they would give me a salary or whether I would be delayed (in the 90s, my mother worked at a factory, which later collapsed). “I had a happy childhood,” Ilona writes about herself.

Her friend Alsu Gazimzyanova from Kazan sheds great light on the life of the famous Russian psychic in her post on the social network dedicated to Ilona’s death. Alsou calls her friend “godmother.”

The period of our communication coincided with the time when I lived in Moscow in the first years after I gave birth. Ilona rented an apartment for me. And for this I worked as a personal “body-spirit guard.” “I saw her different and in different states,” writes Alsou Gazimzyanova, who is also a participant in the “Battle of Psychics” project.

A friend reports that Ilona Novoselova drank alcohol and illegal substances. At the same time, she was at the same time “a kind person, she could sympathize, help people, and could not live without doing damage, cursing people who were often completely innocent and even strangers to her.”

Alsou Gazimzyanova says that Novoselova lived with her family for some time. I saw the other side of life. She developed normal understandings about relationships and friendship. Ilona began to dream of a family and even wanted to adopt a child. Moreover, the girl quickly learned Muslim prayers.

My mother, when she taught her, said that it was easy for her. I taught my own way, and everything would have been fine if not for her other environment, which did not give her peace. They led astray, pulling out the dirty essence,” the interlocutor adds.

Alsou believes that Ilona was one of those people who did not value life. Her hands were all covered in scars, but Novoselova hid it and covered them with tattoos.

We haven't spoken for six years. I knew and know that Ilona periodically did damage and sent curses on me and my family, but my parents, no matter what, always loved her as if they were their own, my mother always prayed for her and felt sorry for her, adds Alsou Gazimzyanova.

The day before, the Kazan psychic had a dream in which she saw “male hands.” They help Ilona Novoselova “go somewhere”. The interlocutor herself does not comment on the versions of her friend’s death. She points out that when the body was discovered, she was wearing street shoes.

I don’t remember my godfather walking around the house in street shoes. Why was she wearing it when she fell from the balcony? - asks Gazimzyanova.

No matter how controversial Ilona’s death may be, her colleagues in the craft agree that the death of the psychic was a huge loss for their professional circle.

Many people said that she was aggressive, but she was not. In life she was like a child - very kind and open. She's my best partner. We had a good tandem. I think her death is a loss for the psychic world,” says Ziraddin Rzayev.

Another finalist of the television project, Vlad Kadoni, claims that the last year of Ilona’s life was a complete nightmare. On the Internet they discussed her past and questioned her professional qualities. The girl was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Perhaps it was the latest high-profile scandals that provoked another conflict in Ilona’s house. As a result, Novoselova simply could not stand it and decided to leave this world. On the fateful day, she was not alone in the apartment. Her friend was with her. In the evening the young people drank. 30-year-old Ilona had an argument with her lover and jokingly climbed onto the balcony railing. In this way she wanted to scare the man, but could not resist and fell down. There was no chance to save her.

The case of Ivan Kuznetsov: provocation or competent work of the special services

Journalists from the KazanFirst publication interviewed experts, talked with the deputy head of the Kazan Executive Committee himself and collected in one material everything that is important to know at the moment about the case of attempted bribery of a high-ranking official of the capital

Journalists from the KazanFirst publication interviewed experts, talked with the deputy head of the Kazan Executive Committee himself and collected in one material everything that is important to know at the moment about the case of attempted bribery of a high-ranking official of the capital.

Elena Melnik , Svetlana Burakova- Kazan

Criminal case against the deputy head of the Kazan Executive Committee Ivan Kuznetsova became the loudest in a series of corruption scandals that have recently shaken the power structures of the capital of Tatarstan. A year ago, the head of the legal department of the financial department of the city Executive Committee came under investigation Yulduz Garipov, lawyer Albert Mukhutdinov and first deputy head of the legal department of the Executive Committee Alexey Rybushkin, who are accused of fraudulently stealing 74.5 million rubles from the city treasury. And in April of this year, a deputy of the city duma was detained for mediation in receiving a bribe on an especially large scale Nadir Khairullin.

Officials began to take bribes more often, says a deputy of the State Council of Tatarstan Rafil Nugumanov. - Unfortunately, corruption has penetrated both the middle echelons of power and the highest. But I am glad that law enforcement agencies are working effectively. They are actively identifying and actively prosecuting. On another it is impossible. If such work is not carried out today, we will not receive a single certificate without a bribe from any government organization.

Who really is Ivan Kuznetsov - the victim or the hunter?

He joined the Kazan mayor's office practically from his student days. In 2005, when he headed the city administration Ilsur Metshin, Kuznetsov just graduated from the Faculty of Economics of KSU with a degree in organizational management. The very next year he took the position of leading specialist in the department for supporting events of the Administration of the Administration of the Executive Committee, and a few months later he headed the Office of the Secretariat of the Head of the Municipal Formation. In 2008, he became an assistant to the head of the municipality, in 2010 - an adviser, and in October 2013, he was appointed to the position of deputy head of the Kazan Executive Committee for economic development.

Of course, this appointment is a serious advance. We hope that youth will be the key to success. We need young personnel with creative ideas,” said the mayor of Kazan, Ilsur Metshin, commenting on the new appointment of Ivan Kuznetsov.

Rapidly climbing the career ladder, the official managed to receive several prestigious diplomas, including from foreign educational institutions: he has an MBA degree from the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo, and completed training in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation program at MIT Sloan Business School at the Massachusetts Institute Technologies (MIT). In 2013, Kuznetsov defended his thesis on the topic “Development of public-private partnerships based on the distribution of fixed and variable costs” at the Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University and received the degree of Candidate of Economic Sciences, and in 2015 he graduated from the INSEAD international business school in program for improving management skills and leadership qualities for executives - Goal Programme, Fontainebleau, France.

Ivan Kuznetsov earned many certificates, commendations and awards for his service, including the medal “For Contribution to the Development of Intercity Cooperation” and the gratitude of the President of the Russian Federation. And in the official biography of the official, posted on the city hall website, it is noted that he speaks three languages ​​- English, Tatar, Russian, is interested in music, reading books, adheres to an active lifestyle, shows interest in triathlon, and plays hockey. And as his life credo, Ivan Kuznetsov chose the motto “There are no small things.”

It seems that he was guided by the same motto in his official activities. Under the leadership of the new deputy head of the Executive Committee, mass demolition of small retail facilities began in Kazan. And the process of leasing municipal land for trade pavilions began to take place through open auctions. Not all entrepreneurs liked this revolution, and the Executive Committee had to go to court for a long time with the dissatisfied. Already at this stage, the official made many enemies among representatives of small and medium-sized businesses.

To correct his reputation, Ivan Kuznetsov became the curator of the so-called Headquarters for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs created at the mayor’s office, which was designed to collect complaints from businessmen about the bureaucracy in the city administration and implement capital programs to support business, including with the help of preferential loans and preferential lease of municipal facilities .

From a restaurant where it is difficult to wait for the ordered dish, the Executive Committee should turn into a kind of fast food, where you come, you see, you conquer,” Ivan Kuznetsov spoke about his vision of business support at one of the meetings.

The last event with entrepreneurs, which Ivan Kuznetsov held on May 31, was a round table dedicated to the problems of improving the quality of municipal services for business. It also discussed new, rather strict regulations for the approval of street signs, which came into force in June. And on this occasion, the deputy head of the Executive Committee again had to listen to many complaints from representatives of small and medium-sized businesses about himself and city officials.

On June 7, the story of a criminal case against a high-ranking official in Kazan began to unfold. The first information that Ivan Kuznetsov became a defendant in a criminal case was published by the anonymous Telegram channel “Apparatnaya”.

This page on the increasingly popular messenger specializes in so-called “political leaks.” The day before “guys from serious structures” knocked on the door of the deputy head of the Kazan Executive Committee, the channel talked about the wife of a civil servant.

The husband works and the wife earns

Alsou Kuznetsova is a well-known businesswoman in Kazan who owns the travel company Legenda, the Provence cafe and the Beauty house.

The travel agency was the official operator of the Universiade 2013 directorate and was looking for client groups for the student Games. The company was engaged in booking rooms and providing hotel services. It was thanks to the fact that “Legend” had reserved a large number of rooms that the travel agency managed to obtain the status of an official operator. One of the working schemes looked like this: clients contacted the hotel, they said that there were no free places, and sent them to the Directorate’s partner, “Legend”, for a solution to the problem. This episode even became the reason for an investigation into the case by officials of the Federal Antimonopoly Service in the Republic of Tatarstan. True, it never ended in anything.

Judging by Instagram Alsou Kuznetsova, her beauty salon is a place of attraction for famous Kazan residents.

If you believe the income statement, which is published on the official website of the Kazan Executive Committee, the official’s wife is doing well in business.

According to data for 2016, Ivan Kuznetsov earned 1,397,595 rubles. He owns two apartments measuring 202.5 square meters. m and 248 sq. m respectively. His wife, in turn, received an income of 6 million 927 thousand 596 rubles. The amount is calculated taking into account the sale of a car in the amount of 4,500,000. Alsou Kuznetsova owns a Mercedes Benz GLE car.

"Do not worry. Everything is fine!"

Ivan Kuznetsov spent the entire first half of the next day after the opening of the case for attempted bribery in a law office in the city center.

The official entered the building at 11 a.m., after which executive class cars began to arrive there at varying intervals, the passengers of which were met on the street by employees of the lawyer’s organization. The negotiation process lasted about three hours. Of course, most of the details of the meeting remained within the office walls. However, the KazanFirst journalist managed to find out some details.

Thus, according to the publication’s sources, a search was conducted in Ivan Kuznetsov’s office on June 7. Representatives of the special services seized part of the documentation and even took the SIM card of the deputy head of the Executive Committee with all contacts.

Ivan Kuznetsov himself, apparently, has a philosophical attitude towards this situation. When asked by a KazanFirst journalist to comment on the story of the criminal case, he answered quite cheerfully and with a smile:

Everything is going well, don't worry. Everything is fine. There are no details yet, but I am sure that everything will be clarified soon. It is not yet known where the statement came from, but I think that soon everything will fall into place and the situation will become clearer,” concluded Ivan Kuznetsov and hurried into the car that was waiting for him.

« Three criminal cases don't make a trend»

Be that as it may, yet another case against a representative of the Kazan authorities has excited the public and forced them to talk about a certain pattern.

Every year more than a thousand corruption crimes are revealed in Tatarstan, and the three criminal cases initiated against representatives of the Kazan city authorities do not yet make the trend, says the head of the organizational department of the Office of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan for Anti-Corruption Policy Alexey Pankratov. - According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, last year in the republic as a whole, 323 persons were involved in criminal cases of corruption. And 89 of them are officials of municipal authorities and municipal unitary enterprises. Therefore, three facts, four facts, even 10 facts do not indicate that the level of corruption has increased in the Kazan Executive Committee.

According to Alexey Pankratov, this is more likely due to the human factor in the perception of the situation. When the police detain a doctor or teacher for a bribe, people usually sympathize with them - they say, they found a corrupt official! And if a government representative comes across, people are happy to raise the topic that all officials are thieves and bribe-takers.

As for the mayor’s office’s version that a provocation is possible in the case of Ivan Kuznetsov, then, according to the publication’s interlocutor, such incidents also happen.

Of course, there are attempts to denigrate some official,” he says. - At one time, a whole wave of anonymous “compromising evidence” was coming to us against the heads of districts - that, they say, he steals, and takes bribes, and so on. And only a small part of them were confirmed. Because an attempt to slander and the fact that the investigation has facts that can serve as evidence of the suspect’s guilt are two different things. Although, on the other hand, sometimes an act purely outwardly looks like a criminal act, but then a logical explanation is found. If a person comes to the police and says that they are extorting a bribe from him and that I am now going to give it, and the operational recording shows that the one who is allegedly being given is hearing about money for the first time, then in this situation we can talk about provocation and that they are trying to substitute And this is still revealed during the investigation. And if it doesn’t become clear, then there is also the prosecutor’s office, which supervises the investigation and all procedural actions, as well as the court. And as a result, all these structures give us fairly objective information. And such cases, when a person was imprisoned, and then it turned out that he was not at all guilty, are extremely rare in judicial practice.

Another expert of the KazanFirst publication is a retired major general of the FSB of Russia Alexander Mikhailov said that law enforcement agencies have now received a proven algorithm and scheme for solving corruption crimes and proving the identified facts. And secondly, such disclosures are like a domino effect: as soon as one bone falls, they all fall one after another, because those caught red-handed, trying to get leniency, willingly “knock” on their accomplices.

Nowadays, the inevitability of punishment for a corruption crime is becoming the norm, - Alexander Mikhailov is convinced. - As they say, if the thief is still at large, this is not his merit, but a shortcoming of law enforcement agencies. But at the same time, when we talk about power, we must very clearly understand that a significant part of such people in power, due to certain circumstances, become hostages of corruption and imperfect economic legislation. Often a person is forced to break the law because there is no other option to implement something.

According to KazanFirst’s interlocutor, those at risk are primarily mayors, vice-mayors and other representatives of the city administration, who need to solve large-scale financial problems, problems of entrepreneurs, and so on.

All people who come to power are under the surveillance of the special services, says the FSB Major General. - Especially those who deal with tenders, any quotas, licenses. They are constantly in sight. And all the tricks with which they try to evade responsibility have long been known. Every official sitting in his chair should know that he is literally being examined under a microscope, like an amoeba. For each of them, there is often initially a lot of information from people who are trying to solve some problems through them and do not solve them. Special services scan all these things very carefully. In addition, very often officials fall under the hood of the special services when they come into contact with corrupt relationships with people who themselves are already in the works - due to non-payment of taxes, illegal business activities, fraud, and so on. And I am always surprised by an official who believes that if he and the minister drank vodka at a banquet, then they are already friends and he is already invulnerable. In state relations, the concept of friendship does not exist.

Provocation of ill-wishers?

If previously official city structures refused to comment on the facts of the detention of representatives of the Kazan authorities for corruption and assess the actions of those involved in criminal cases before the court’s decision, then in the case of Ivan Kuznetsov, the management of the press service of the mayor’s office immediately issued a statement that the official had “repeatedly received various types of threats."

It is possible that we are talking about a provocation on the part of unscrupulous entrepreneurs, the message says.

One way or another, the intelligence services will now have to figure all this out. So far, according to the investigation, the following picture emerges: “In May 2017, Kuznetsov demanded 500 thousand rubles for the unhindered implementation of non-profit activities of one of the organizations in the city of Kazan.”

At the time of publication of the material, the publication had information from the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan that the issue of choosing a preventive measure for the 34-year-old official was being decided. And during the investigation, the deputy head of the Kazan Executive Committee was removed from his post, but not dismissed.

The name of the rather famous Russian psychic Ilona Novoselova is in the news again. So, just recently it was announced that a girl had been kidnapped, which happened right at the entrance of her house. For the return of Novoselova, the kidnappers reportedly demanded 7.5 million rubles from Ilona’s mother. However, everything ended without complications - Ilona returned home unharmed. By the way, it was then, during the abduction, that there was rather contradictory information about whether Ilona was abducted alone, or whether her fiancé named Oleg Petrov was with her.

When the media talk about the abduction almost died down, other information about Novoselova surfaced, this time even more shocking. So, as reported, Ilona Novoselova turned out to be a man. Or rather, she was a man before, before the sex change operation.

So, already when the kidnappers were detained and the investigation began, it turned out that Ilona is actually 26-year-old Andrei, and her “fiancé” is a pretty blonde, who goes by the documents as Oleg Petrov.

In an interview for the NTV channel, Ilona said that she decided to have the operation several years ago. “I felt really bad, I was on the edge, I thought life would just end,” she said.

Subsequently, Ilona was quite successfully able to hide the details of her personal life and gender; many Russian television viewers knew her from her participation in popular shows like “Battle of Psychics,” and no one could have imagined that the pretty, dark-haired Ilona was actually a man.

Today, many of Ilona’s friends and acquaintances, and especially psychics who are closely acquainted with the girl, cannot understand how they could not determine that the person in front of them is a man. However, later, when the details became known, her colleague on the show suddenly admitted that Ilona was indeed not a girl in some ways. So, Ilona, ​​according to the same psychic colleague, did not know how to walk in heels at all.

Ilona revealed her secret only to her mentor, Irina Bogdanova, who, despite the fact that she tried to dissuade her (him) from the operation, still accepted Ilona for who she is.

After Ilona Novoselova’s private life became visible, the psychic canceled her appointments, turned off her phone and stopped meeting with anyone. Naturally, some of her clients (mostly women) now feel deceived and are likely to want a refund of the money spent on the sessions.

Best of the day

There was also an opinion that all the hype around Ilona Novoselova, including the kidnapping, is some kind of publicity stunt, a successful attempt to promote oneself.

Ilona Novoselova is a well-known participant in the television project “Battle of Psychics.” The girl participated in seasons 6 and 7 of the show, and even reached the finals in the last one. The news of her death on June 13 shocked many of her fans.

Ilona Novoselova biography Wikipedia

Psychic Ilona Novoselova died in Moscow, reports comandir.com. The girl fell out of the window of her own apartment, located on the 6th floor on Entuziastov Highway. She didn't survive. According to the mother of the finalist of the 7th season of the show, Ilona herself jumped out of the window after she had a serious quarrel with her boyfriend Artem Besov.

Ilona was born on November 2, 1987. It is known that when the girl was five years old, her parents decided to divorce. At school, the girl studied with obvious reluctance; her relationships with her classmates did not go well. Therefore, when Ilona was 12 years old, her mother, tired of constant scandals at school, transferred the child to home schooling, Novoselova sighed calmly.

Ilona first discovered her gift at the age of 10, when she saw the silhouette of her deceased grandmother in the mirror next to her. All subsequent years she worked on its development. At 177 years old, the girl realized that she had to help people.

At the age of 19, Novoselova experienced serious stress due to problems in her personal life. Then the girl first spoke about her intention to commit suicide. However, after some time she realized that her purpose was to help people with the help of her psychic abilities. Ilona devoted the following years to becoming well acquainted with esotericism.

In 2013, Ilona and her friend were kidnapped. The girl's mother reported to the police. The kidnappers demanded a fabulous ransom amount: 20 million rubles, but the police managed to free Ilona and her friend. At the same time, some juicy details of the girl’s biography were revealed. It turned out that Ilona was not a girl at all, but a young man whose name was Andrey. At the age of 18, Andrei underwent gender reassignment surgery and became a girl. This is what fans explained about Ilona’s extremely low voice and many other points.

It is not known for sure whether Ilona was Andrei Novoselov or not. Rumors of this kind circulated online, but they were not confirmed by anything. The rumors are mainly based on Ilona Novoselova’s low voice. Allegedly, it was for this reason that she was suspected of being a man.

Before her death, Ilona met with her fiancé. The guy's name is Artem Besov and he is also a psychic. They often quarreled, but stayed together no matter what.

On the afternoon of June 13, the death of the “hereditary witch” became known. A girl fell from the 6th floor of a multi-storey building on Entuziastov Highway in Moscow. The exact causes and circumstances of her death are not known. Investigators are working to identify them.

Several years ago, rumors appeared in the media that Novoselova had sex reassignment surgery. Information has emerged that previously the girl’s name was allegedly Andrei. The clairvoyant herself sharply denied these rumors, but they still regularly appeared in the media. This completely undermined the witch's mental health. The girl often clashed with her partner. Ilona's neighbors admitted that she regularly quarreled with her lover. Whether constant quarrels with him became the cause of depression and death is still unknown.

Let us recall that it was previously reported that Ilona Novoselova was able to predict her death.
