On September 8, a powerful explosion occurred near Bessarabskaya Square in Kyiv, as a result of which the world famous model Natalya Koshel, the face of Dior, was seriously injured.

Natalya was transported to the intensive care unit of the 17th hospital in Kyiv in in serious condition. The girl's face was significantly damaged, internal organs, the left thigh was torn and the left heel was torn off. Doctors do not give prognoses, but warned that amputation of the left leg is possible.

Also injured in the car explosion was 6-year-old Anton, who was not a relative of the model. The boy was taken to the hospital with a 1st degree burn; doctors did not diagnose any other injuries. The driver Timur Makhauri, also known as Ruslan Papaskeri, died on the spot.

It became known that Makhauri was a volunteer in the Sheikh Mansur International Peacekeeping Battalion and was a personal enemy of Ramzan Kadyrov. The battalion takes an active part in the military conflict in eastern Ukraine and supports the Ukrainian government.

Investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine said that Timur Makhauri was involved in the murders of five Chechens who were hiding from Russian justice on the territory of Ukraine and took an active part in the battles for Shirokino and in the south of Donbass. A criminal case has been initiated under the article “Intentional murder” committed in public in a dangerous way, - comments the press secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Artem Shevchenko.

Model-looking girls have always been the cause of someone's envy, and sometimes this feeling was so strong and destructive that they poured hydrochloric acid on their face. So Eleonora Kondratyuk, 18-year-old “Miss Charm” in 1999, was doused with a concentrated solution hydrochloric acid, rejected by a fan from Abkhazia Ruben Grigoryan. The trial of the bandit took place in March 2000, and he was sentenced to 11 years in prison, but the girl’s life has since turned into a nightmare. Eleanor suffered dozens plastic surgery, and doctors’ attempts to restore vision were practically unsuccessful.

Working in the fashion industry is also dangerous because models are often subject to stress and strict diets, which sometimes lead them to a state of anorexia. Anna Caroline Reston, died in 2006 from exhaustion. At the time of her death, she was only 21 years old and with a height of 178 cm, she weighed only 40 kg. For designers Armani and Dior, the model was a muse and inspiration for new looks. The same fate befell Hila Elmaliah, an Israeli model popular in the nineties. At 34 years old, she suffered from cardiac arrest and weighed only 27 kg with a height of 167 cm.

Long-term depression can be caused by addiction to drugs or alcohol in some models. There have been known cases of overdose with heroin, morphine and methadone. Peaches Geldof, a famous British model and TV presenter, died of a heroin overdose at the age of 25. Her career began by writing for The Telegraph and The Guardian. In 2008, Peaches married musician Max Drummy. But the marriage was dissolved after half a year, and in 2009 the girl decided to marry the vocalist of the rock band Thomas Cohen. After her death, she left behind two children, Astala and Fedra. It is known that the girl's mother, Paula Yates, died of the same reason in 2000.

In pursuit of an ideal appearance, girls and boys become victims of cosmetic procedures. The unsafe list includes chemical peeling, microcurrent therapy and permanent makeup. There were many cases of falls and broken limbs at various shows. Models whose shoes were extremely uncomfortable for walking or too long dress, often got injured right on the podium. Even Naomi Campbell in 1993 could not keep her balance and fell at the Vivienne Westwood performance. At the Burberry show at fashion week in Brazil, model Karlie Kloss also could not resist and fell in front of the public.

From all this it follows that the profession of a model is certainly full of risk and danger. To young people who have chosen this for themselves life path You need to not only be beautiful and confident, but also have strong nerves to overcome many obstacles on the path to fame.

b (nee Tselovalnikova) began collecting money for her treatment.

After the child was examined and no serious injuries were found that threatened her life, the little one was sent to burn center number 2, of course I am with her! The amount of painkillers caused the child to fall asleep.
