Sad news from Russia, where a former Russian model and, ironically, head of a security firm was killed while trying to stop a man from hijacking her Porsche Cayenne. Anna Loginova, who was only 29 years old, was going to purchase a kitten in a neighborhood of Moscow when a man grabbed her and threw her from the car. Unwilling to let her car get stolen, Loginva grabbed the door to the Cayenne and was pulled for several feet before letting go of the door. The blow she took when she hit the ground was, unfortunately, fatal.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened to the young woman. She told Maxim magazine that she had been attacked before and was able to use a Jiu-Jitsu technique to stop the assailant long enough to get her gun. The article says her Cayenne was silver, so no crazy Russian Cayenne jokes. [News From Russia]

IN RUSSIA....oh, right. Sorry.
Hmmm (frown)...
Mongo no like death.
Mongo sad.
Umm, kids, it's a car. Let it go. Ain't worth dying over.
Nope, no car.
Model, Extreme Driver, Jiu-Jitsu expert?!, Bodyguard?!!, Bodyguard service owner?!!!
Oh my God, this chick was a real life bond girl.
This is why I need to move to Russia.
@LuciferV8: Also, she's dead due to the fact that Russia is a lawless hellhole. But sure, by all means, move there for the (dead) Bond girl.
The doctors probably could have saved her if only they were not so distracted by the challenge of coming up with a proper Russian Reversal joke for the situation.
@PeteJayhawk: Yeah, you got a point there, chief. Still, sweet christ, Russian chicks are hot!
Ah, the kitten district. I told her to stay out of the kitten district.
Supermodels shouldn't take ANY blow.
In other news, the US is plunging into poverty - the stock photo is awesome: [english.pravda.ru]
Can we get any links of pics for this girl. Cant find anything!
Unfortunate reflex, to grab at a door handle--when you know you can't stop the car by doing that or hang on that way. Seems odd that the ground killed her -- how fast could it have been going in a few feet?--unless she actually fell under the wheel.
Yeah, but what happened to the kitten? I suspect that mysterious bastard might have something to do behind all of this.
I know the base model Cayenne is weakly powered given its heft, but even it has enough horses to pull a skinny Russian chick.
Annie, you shoulda got yer gun, and BLEW THE M@THER FLICKER AWAY!
@bzr: The kitten is at Pravda custody being trained for their next "Sleeping Kitteh" photospread: [english.pravda.ru]
@UNDERSTAR:
Clik the link to the article. There is a small pic of her there.
@Skydiver: I'm glad they've got their priorities set. Theorizing about Western economic conspiracies (and men's third nipples) is far too taxing even for the most stringent Russian tabloid hack. And everybody loves cats!
So all of those strippers ARE executives and doctors in "my old country".
Bad mojo to mock the dead. I have been trying to find a fitting name for my Cayenne T but nothing sticks. I think I just found it. Anna it is.
It's not the point, but after reading the article, I wonder how BMW, whom she worked for, felt about her riding up in her Cayenne.
I used to work photo shoots for Reebok, and we were never allowed to wear any Nike gear.
@Skydiver: I'm floored by the cover's linked story of superfluous male nipple uses:

Brutal. It might be an unpopular opinion, but I can't help feeling that Perestroika was a bad thing. What a hell of a place.
I Think i'll just play with death in russia...
[english.pravda.ru]
i've been to russia, and DC and Detroit are a LOT worse...
@Euromobile: Yeah. It was paradise there before that.
Unless you can "immobilize" said theif without even stopping to think, youre better off letting em take your ride.
That is, unless you dont have insurance. Then youd have to weigh the value of your life vs your car.
Dont laugh, i know ppl where itd be a definite toss up lol
That explains what I heard that old lady in Boca Raton say yesterday...
"Have you seen my new Porsche dahling? It's to DIE for."
Sorry. I'll go back to my cage now.
Bad Monster. No internets 4 u.
@beercheck: Typical "Evil Empire" attitude. I'm not for a moment suggesting it was a paradise; there was the threat of the KGB and the gulags, but if you behaved I shouldn't imagine you'd have had much to fear. The people didn't know any different and didn't have anything to compare it to anyway. At least it wasn't a lawless shithole run by gangsters, which now, thanks to mass media, they can compare with the rest of Europe. That must sting a bit.
@PeteJayhawk: Do I hear a "Operation Russian Freedom"?
@Euromobile ["if you behaved I shouldn't imagine you'd have had much to fear"]: Do you give a pass to right-wing governments that operate under that same philosophy?
Boo! Hiss! Death to all carjackers everywhere!
they really need stiffer penalties for grand theft auto, or perhaps something stronger than grand theft auto (anything higher than $10k). An automobile is the 2nd biggest investment that you make, it's not right that they get a slap on the wrist.
@Hyman Decent: No, I'm not for a minute suggesting that a totalitarian government is okay, it's just that Average Joe probably got on okay under one. However, with the way things are nowadays, he's in serious danger of getting killed over some consumer goods. Which would you prefer?

@Euromobile: Ah, O.K., so you meant the lesser of two evils.
@Hyman Decent: Precisely.
Really Euromobile, you didn't have to explain yourself...it's crystal clear what you meant. And I whole-heartedly agree.
