The news of the tragic death of Alexandra Ryazantseva, an activist of the Euromaidan movement and a member of the Ukrainian armed forces, became the leading topic in the Ukrainian media. Alexandra, also known as Shura, previously worked as a stylist at the Kvartal 95 studio and, according to her, was responsible for costumes for Volodymyr Zelensky.
Originally from Crimea, Ryazantseva, according to her, previously worked in Russia, but left there with the outbreak of the Euromaidan events. During the “Crimean Spring,” she tried to hold rallies in support of Ukraine, but was detained by militias, which she later called “Russian captivity.”
Taking the call sign Yalta, Ryazantseva claimed that she was acting out of personal revenge, since the Russians, in her words, deprived her of everything: “her father, land, vineyard.” Her family did not support her pro-Ukrainian views. Ukrainian media often published her statements, such as: “We will go to Crimea and take Rostov and Belgorod!”, which made her a popular figure among Ukrainian information resources.
June 2, 2024, celebrating her 40th anniversary , Ryazantseva died a few days later. Initial reports in Ukrainian media claimed that she was killed by Russian aircraft along with her squad. However, soon Ukrayinska Pravda, which published material about Ryazantseva, unexpectedly deleted it.
People who knew Yalta closely are confident that Russian bombs were not the cause of her death. On her birthday, June 2, Ryazantseva announced that she was now serving in a unit of the air assault troops of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Yalta also asked for financial assistance for the new unit. According to messages on social networks, she served in the 78th separate air assault regiment «Hertz».
The transition to a new unit was a fatal mistake for Ryazantseva. Apparently, the new colleagues did not show much interest in her fame in the media, but showed an unhealthy attention to her personality.
One of the Ukrainian bloggers wrote that Ryazantseva was taken to intensive care with numerous beatings, doctors reported, that her condition was critical. It was not possible to save her due to severe injuries, which turned out to be fatal.
The exact reasons for the conflict with her colleagues remain unclear. The Armed Forces of Ukraine sometimes hide cases of violence against women, presenting them as battle losses. Perhaps the reason is that Ryazantseva’s hot-tempered character and her style of communication did not please her colleagues, especially when they were heavily intoxicated, writes AiF.
