Remember this high-profile case, when the burned corpse of a famous Yekaterinburg model was found on the outskirts of the city, and her photographer husband was accused of murder? We discussed this here once. In general, this story was mentioned in a conversation with me recently, and I became interested in how it all ended. It turned out that everything is just beginning there! The photographer is still in prison, but many doubt his involvement in the murder; wild and mysterious versions are multiplying on the Internet and newspapers. Below I have collected the details and the most widely circulated versions.

On the night of August 22-23, 2013, the famous fashion model Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina disappeared. A fashion photographer and Julia’s husband, Dmitry, immediately came under suspicion. He was charged with murder. According to investigators, Loshagin was drunk, quarreled with his wife and killed her. The cause of death of the model was a broken neck.
In August 2014, the trial of Loshagin began. As a result, on December 25, judge of the Oktyabrsky District Court of Yekaterinburg Ravil Izmailov made a sensational decision and acquitted Dmitry, who spent almost 1.5 years in a pre-trial detention center. The prosecutor's office and the mother of the murdered model Svetlana Ryabova appealed the verdict. The Sverdlovsk Regional Court overturned the decision of the district court and sent the case for a new trial. On June 24, the Oktyabrsky Court of Yekaterinburg ruled new sentence in the case of Dmitry Loshagin. Judge Alexandra Evladova found the photographer guilty of murdering his wife, fashion model Yulia Prokopyeva, and sentenced Loshagin to 10 years in prison." strict regime"The photographer himself and his lawyers said that they would appeal this court decision. The case has not yet been settled.

Sexual experiments.

Two shocking versions related to the murder of Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina were leaked from law enforcement agencies. There is no official confirmation yet, but as URA.Ru learned from its own sources, criminologists had to study intimate life Loshagin spouses.
“The version that photographer Dmitry Loshagin accidentally killed his wife during sexual experiments was considered. He got scared, panicked and therefore took the body of his beloved wife near Pervouralsk to get rid of the evidence. But I couldn’t completely burn the body - I didn’t have the courage,” says a URA.Ru source.

Killer

Another URA.Ru source hints that this version has already been written off. According to him, everything is much worse - Yulia was killed by a professional killer, and Dmitry Loshagin has nothing to do with the crime - he was simply framed. The killer was allegedly hired by a high-ranking elderly Sverdlovsk official who was Yulia's lover and recently discovered that a beautiful fashion model had infected him with HIV.
“The killer - a former security officer - entered that party (loft attic on Belinsky Street, 32) under the guise of a guest. Perhaps it was hosted by one of the glamorous guests. In the toilet, the killer professionally - in one movement, twisted Yulia's head like a chicken. The killer had an accomplice who helped “bring out” the murdered woman - they took the girl, as if drunk, by the arms. None of the partygoers paid attention to this - everyone was already pretty drunk, including Dmitry,” the source shares.
Then all that remained was to frame Loshagin so that no one would doubt that he was the killer. The organizer and executor of the murder calculated everything. “Firstly, Loshagin’s phone was stolen (it was later tossed back), which was turned on twice at the crime scene so that the telecom operator would jam the signal. Secondly, the corpse was deliberately not completely burned so that the experts would not have to fiddle around for a long time. Thirdly, the law enforcement agencies received a tip on where to look for the body of the fashion model, says the agency’s interlocutor. “Perhaps Dmitry Loshagin will soon change his status as an accused to a witness, and he will be protected under the witness protection program.”

HIV

Information about HIV infection, which could have caused the death of Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina, is actively denied by the model’s relatives. Her brother posted test results on his VKontakte page confirming that the girl was healthy in mid-June.
However, this does not exclude the presence of the disease, the period of seroconversion (appearance of detectable antibodies to HIV) ranges from 2 weeks to 1 year.
For loving husband The news of the infection could have sounded like a bolt from the blue. And cause not only fear for your life, but also quite understandable wild jealousy. In this case, there was only one step left before the murder, which could have been provoked by a stormy party, the frivolous behavior of his wife at it and an unlimited amount of alcohol.
Loshagin's business partners noted that for the last month he looked either tired or saddened by something. He refused new orders and was in no hurry to fulfill old ones. And after August 22, he abruptly went back to work.

Alive

A sensational version of the murder of Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina was offered by “ TVNZ- Ural". Housekeeper Olga Akhlebinina claims that she met Yuli Loshagina on August 24 at about 16:00 in the Antey business center. That is, 8 hours after the body of a murdered girl was found in the forest.
“It couldn’t be Julia! After all, I saw her together with Dmitry on August 24 at about four in the afternoon. Loshagin was in high spirits. He greeted me. And I asked him how to find “Lenin, 40” - I was late there for the training. Dmitry explained it to me in detail. By the way, his face was in perfect order. And then there were rumors that Yulia almost knocked out his tooth during a quarrel after the party on August 22. But Julia was somehow depressed and tired. Usually she is always in full dress - made up and dressed up. And this time the girl was clearly sad. It was clear that something was bothering her,” KP quotes Olga Vasilyevna.
This is not the first time that Yulia Loshagina-Prokopyeva was seen after the ill-fated party in the loft on August 22. So, ex-wife Dmitry Tatyana assured that that same night the model had fun at the Pushkin club. Loshagin's relatives are seriously considering the version that Yulia herself staged her disappearance and framed her guilty husband. But this version also has no evidence.
In addition, last week at the court hearing the photographer’s defense tried to appeal his detention. Lawyer Sergei Lashin said: “There is no conclusion from a genetic examination yet that the girl found is Yulia Prokopyeva. I understand that it’s blasphemous to say that. But the fact remains a fact."

Brother

The most dangerous thing is to voice the version that appeared almost immediately after the first news about the disappearance of Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina. It was expressed in the comments by one of the URA.Ru readers. On September 2, an entry appeared: “What made my brother come to the police at 3-4 o’clock in the morning? Strange brother..."
Then similar comments no longer left the pages of news about the doula about the murder of the model. “Didn’t they check your brother?”, “Maybe it was your brother who killed you?”, “Maybe you should shake your brother. Some kind of irrepressible activity, looks like a diversion of suspicion from oneself”, “The boy’s activity also looks strange... The person is considered guilty [in relation to the accusations against the deceased’s husband appearing on the page of Yulia’s brother “VKontakte”] by a court decision”, " But my brother is really strange! No, in order to prepare a funeral, he “On VKontakte crucifies himself in front of everyone.”
Then more serious suspicions arose. “I thought through everything, prepared well - and found the certificate, and knew about the car, which Dima gave to Yulia on the eve of his disappearance - strange,” “He envied his sister and her husband! And he and his mother (if Dmitry is imprisoned) are the main and only heirs to his sister’s money.”
The behavior of Mikhail Ryabov, the brother of the deceased girl, is in fact not very similar to how, in the generally accepted understanding, a loving and grieving person should behave. Indeed, it was he who turned to law enforcement agencies with a missing sister report. And almost immediately (after Yulia’s body was found) he began to claim that the killer was her husband, photographer Dmitry Loshagin. As arguments, it was Mikhail who cited the facts of beating his sister, unconventional sexual orientation photographer, his difficult financial situation.
At the same time for young man Living with his mother in Nizhny Tagil, his sister, who was a wealthy successful model, was the only financial source. True, Mikhail denies receiving money from his sister. But he openly declares that he will take everything that “belonged to his sister” and that “was bought with my sister’s money,” explaining: “Why the hell shouldn’t I take it?”
The desire to get what belonged to Julia, starting with an iPhone and ending with a certain two-story house"with an area of ​​300 sq. meters and a recreation area,” may well be a motive for murder.
In addition, after a series of investigative actions, the brother of the deceased model began to go to Contact only at night. And he even posted an ad for renting a 2-room apartment. However, later he began to carefully “clean” the page, deleting comments from uncomfortable questions(for example, where did he get the mms with the results of Yulia’s tests and what was the fate of the girl’s first husband, who allegedly beat her). The overly frank correspondence with girls also disappeared.
And friends of the family claim that, on Mikhail’s initiative, a claim was filed for compensation for moral damages in connection with Yulia’s death. The amount of compensation specified in the application is 50 million rubles.

Accident

Some of Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina’s friends, who know about her emotionality, believe that there was no murder as such. A childhood friend who wished to remain anonymous believes the death was an accident.
The girl, in a conversation with a URA.Ru correspondent, confirmed that quarrels between spouses were a private occurrence. The main reason for them was Yulina’s openness and sociability, which was incompatible with Dima’s jealousy. The loved ones cursed, and Julia behaved extremely emotionally in such situations. She could break dishes and slam doors. In such altercations, as the agency’s interlocutor suggests, both spouses repeatedly received minor injuries. Quite possible, last quarrel, caused by Yulia’s unexpected departure to Moscow on the eve of her birthday, caused the girl’s death.
Evening in the loft, when the Loshagins last time seen together, proceeded rather nervously, according to some of those present there. Attempts to find out the relationship between Yulia and Dima were made even before the guests left.
A quarrel, fatigue after a busy evening, a staircase in the studio, the amount of drink - all this could lead to the fact that the girl stumbled, which caused a fatal fracture. Dmitry, frightened by what had happened and not in a completely adequate state, was afraid of a possible charge of murder. And he took the already dead Yulia to the forest near Pervouralsk.
This version is supported by his active reluctance to admit guilt in the murder and the opinion of his friends that “Dima could not.”

Escaped prisoner

Burnt body at that time unknown woman(as it later turned out, model Yulia Prokopyeva) was discovered in the village of Reshety on August 24. Then the message did not look sensational - an ordinary police report. The body was found in a forest 50 meters from the 13th kilometer of the Staromoskovsky tract, on the road from the village of Khrustalny to the village of Reshety.
“The corpse is severely mutilated, the head and upper limbs are burned, clothing is missing. By this fact On August 26, a criminal case was initiated based on the elements of a crime under Part 1 of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder),” the Main Directorate said in a statement. Signs of the deceased were also given.
At the same time, information appeared that a burnt-out car belonging to a prison employee had been found in the forest. According to some reports, then convict Yuri Yagovtsev escaped from the colony. According to law enforcement officials, the theory that he may be involved in the murder has not yet been put to rest.

There are a lot of other versions floating around on the Internet, for example, some find parallels in this murder with another committed back in the 90s, and claim that Loshagin is an insidious serial killer.

These are the pies. I hope we will eventually find out the truth.

Updated 07/11/15 03:54:

Second day of media discussion of a high-profile murder famous model from Nizhny Tagil Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina.

The main suspect in the case is the girl’s husband, a popular photographer from Yekaterinburg, Dmitry Loshagin. The man has already been detained and will remain in custody until September 6 - on that day the court will consider the petition for his arrest.

The last time Yulia got in touch was on August 22. Then she talked on the phone with a friend and appeared in in social networks. Since then there has been no information about the fate of the model.

On August 24, not far from the Pervouralsk-Ekaterinburg highway, the body of an unknown girl was found with signs of strangulation and a burned face. Relatives could not say with certainty whether the body belongs to Yulia, although they note that many of the signs are similar.

At the same time, a preliminary examination showed that the body found still belongs to Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina. 90%

Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina - born August 19, 1985. According to media reports, she began participating in beauty contests in 2002. Then her name was already mentioned among the participants in the regional beauty contest.

In 2010, Yulia already appeared in the media as a world-wise model, admonishing young contestants.

Journalists write that Yulia is from Nizhny Tagil. She moved to Yekaterinburg about 3 years ago, and two years later she married Dmitry Loshagin.

“Yulia came from Tagil three years ago, they quickly began an affair. She became not just his model, but his assistant. Everyone noted that she influenced him, and Loshagin recent months has changed a lot,” URA.Ru quotes a friend of the Loshagins as saying.

According to some reports, Yulia and Dmitry met when the girl was 16 years old. Loshagin was a member of the jury of one of the beauty contests. However, the relationship between them began only 10 years later.

“We went to filming in India,” recalled Dmitry Loshagin. - And when I saw her there in wedding dress riding an elephant through the jungle, I immediately approached her and asked: “Will you marry me? I want to look at this world through the reflection of your eyes. I dream of growing old next to you, walking along the beach and holding your hand.”

Yulia and Dmitry went to celebrate New Year 2011 together in Finland, where Loshagin, while skiing, fell unsuccessfully and broke both ankles.

After this incident, the photographer began litigation with the insurance company, which was obliged to pay for his treatment.

That same year, Dmitry and Yulia got married. They arranged a wedding photo shoot in Prague. According to media reports, the young people often traveled. All secular media watched the life of the Loshagin family. They discussed their quarrels, their trips, their acquaintances, and even their pet Chihuahua.

The couple lived in Loshagin’s studio apartment at No. 32 on Belinsky Street. He called his house “Loshagin LOFT art space.” There Dmitry organized loud parties, where he invited famous musicians, held exhibitions and so on. In general, all the bohemians of Yekaterinburg were trying to get into this apartment.

Later, when Loshagin was suspected of involvement in Yulia’s disappearance, he put his apartment up for sale for 49.5 million rubles. They said that the photographer had wanted to sell the apartment for a long time, but they noted that selling real estate during the disappearance of his beloved wife was at least strange.

At the beginning of summer, according to the relatives of Yulia Prokopieva-Loshagina, the girl came to visit her relatives in Tagil.

“Yulia laughed that her career was close to sunset and she would soon be able to have children. She was a sunny, bright person. No star fever, always tried to help us, took all our problems to heart,” the publication vsenovostint.ru quotes the words of a relative of the girl Galina.

After Yulia’s disappearance, a lot of media coverage surrounded her relationship with her husband. various rumors. Some say that in Lately there were problems in the family, and the photographer often raised his hand to the girl. Others claim that the family was fighting because of Yulia’s reluctance to give birth to children. Still others write that the fashion model fell ill with AIDS, which Dmitry could not come to terms with.

“Lately he / Loshagin / has been walking around very gloomy. Gossips said that it was all due to the fact that Yulia herself did not want children in order to maintain her figure, but forbade him to communicate with the child from his first marriage. For some reason, Dima decided that this was not his son, and even tried to pick him up from kindergarten in order to take him for a genetic examination. And he didn’t want to pay alimony,” one of the publications quotes the words of an unnamed acquaintance of Loshagin.

According to Yulia’s brother Mikhail Ryabov, the photographer was very jealous; Yulia called her brother several times and complained about the beatings. In conversations with journalists, she herself described family quarrels somewhat differently: “If Dima doesn’t like something terribly, he can easily throw his glass on the floor. And I ask him: “What are you doing?” Dima replies: “I put up with it that way.”

The media also note that Dmitry Loshagin was married, but the data on the number of his ex-wives varies greatly. Some write that the photographer was married twice (his second wife was Yulia), others note that Loshagin was married as many as 4 times.

However, one ex-wife is known for sure. Her name is Tatyana Loshagina, and she previously headed modeling agency Art models and participated in various projects of her husband. The marriage of Tatiana and Dmitry lasted about five years. Then they divorced ( exact date the breakup of the family is unknown), Tatiana left behind a son. She left after the divorce model business and began working as a manager at the Fireside bar at the Hyatt Hotel.

According to the press, Dmitry did not want to pay child support and even doubted that the child was really his. According to some reports, the photographer even planned to pick up his son from kindergarten to arrange a DNA test.

The alimony process went on for several months. It was he who could make Dmitry Loshagin prohibited from traveling - the lawyers of the Yurliga company said that for this only a court decision, a writ of execution and a statement from the bailiff about a ban on leaving Russia are needed, but they have not yet been received.

In addition, Tatyana Loshagina once stated that her ex-husband publicly attacked her, right at her workplace. He allegedly hit her in the face and then grabbed her by the hair and threw her to the floor. After which, according to the head of the Yurliga company Ivan Volkov, Tatyana announced her intention to attract ex-husband to criminal liability for assault.

Dmitry Loshagin received 10 years for the murder of his wife Yulia Prokopyeva. Photo

For the murder of his model wife Yulia Prokopyeva, photographer Dmitry Loshagin received 10 years.

On June 24, the Yekatirenburg court sentenced the notorious photographer Dmitry Loshagin. He was found guilty of murdering his wife, fashion model Yulia Prokopyeva. The court sentenced Loshagin to 10 years in prison to be served in a maximum security colony.

“The defendant’s guilt was confirmed in the trial. The defense’s arguments that the evidence was collected in violation of the Code of Criminal Procedure and is inadmissible were not confirmed,” said Judge Alexandra Evladova, announcing the court decision. "To find Dmitry Aleksandrovich Loshagin guilty under part one of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation", - she pronounced the verdict.

Let us remind you. On the night of August 22-23, 2013, the famous fashion model Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina disappeared.

Suspicion immediately fell on the popular photographer and Yulia's husband, Dmitry. He was charged with murder. According to investigators, Loshagin was drunk, quarreled with his wife and killed her. The cause of death of the model was a broken neck. And then - in order to cover up the traces of the crime - he burned Julia's body.

According to investigators, the murder of Yulia Prokopyeva occurred in Loshagin’s photo studio, where a social event was taking place. There were more than 50 people at the party, including the photographer himself and his wife.

At about 10 p.m. Loshagin, his wife and several guests went up to the roof to enjoy the view of the city. When the photographer and his wife were coming down from the roof, a quarrel broke out between them. During the conflict, the photographer kicked the girl, then grabbed her head with his hands and turned her with force, breaking her neck. To hide traces of the crime, Loshagin took his wife’s body into the forest and burned it. This happened two days later, on August 25, and from the 23rd to the 25th, according to the prosecution, Loshagin created an alibi for himself: he was in public, met with a huge number of witnesses, took photographs, went to training, to the cinema, etc. .

In August 2014, the trial of Loshagin began.

In his last word at the trial Dmitry Loshagin said: “I didn’t kill, I didn’t rape, I didn’t burn my wife, I loved her as best I could, and she answered me the same. I ask everyone: why should I cross out all this? For what purpose? Jealousy? This has not been proven and at least stupid. Money? I don’t have any financial benefits from my wife’s death. Because I’m just crazy and a moron for some reason? long years People who know me didn’t notice this. What else? Just? Wanted and killed? Even if we didn't love each other, why didn't I kill my three previous wives? I am against such an investigation."

As a result, on December 25, judge of the Oktyabrsky District Court of Yekaterinburg Ravil Izmailov made a sensational decision and acquitted Dmitry, who spent almost 1.5 years in a pre-trial detention center. Loshagin was released.

The prosecutor's office and the mother of the murdered model, Svetlana Ryabova, appealed the verdict. The state prosecutor asked Loshagina to serve 13 years in prison.

The public, meanwhile, is divided - some consider Loshagin absolutely guilty, others are absolutely sure of his innocence.

The defense of Svetlana Ryabova (mother of Yulia Loshagina) stated before the start of the hearing that she expected a “fair verdict.” According to the famous lawyer Sergei Zhorin, Loshagin’s guilt was obvious. All his arguments were defeated during the court hearings: “He has nothing to hope for. Moreover, the whole country is following the process,” Zhorin said.

Key witnesses for the prosecution - deputy head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate Sverdlovsk region for solving crimes against the person Evgeniy Khimich and deputy head of the Department of Internal Affairs for the city of Pervouralsk Pavel Prokopchik. They were the first to interrogate Loshagin. During the trial, they reported a conversation with Dmitry in September 2013, during which he admitted how he got rid of Yulia Prokopyeva’s body and how he told about the circumstances of her murder.

Khimich, in particular, said that he first met Loshagin in a pre-trial detention center on September 19, where Prokopchik invited him to help. “Loshagin explained that he and Yulia had a conflict on the stairs in the loft, he pushed her down. When he approached, she was dead. He hid the body under the stairs, and the next day he took it out, wrapped it in roofing material, and burned it, and all the things which he had, he scattered into containers in Yekaterinburg,” said Evgeniy Khimich.

He was echoed by Prokopchik, who stated that Loshagin went to the camping area twice: to find a place to throw the body, and then to take it there.

Loshagin made his first confession to the crime back in Pervouralsk to operative Prokopchik. Then he confirmed the testimony in the pre-trial detention center in the presence of Khimich. Prosecutor Mikael Ozdoev spoke about this. “In both cases, he avoided the phrase “I killed”. He always said: “a conflict arose, I pushed her, she fell and showed no signs of life” ...,” he said.

Press secretary of the Sverdlovsk Investigative Committee Alexander Shulga noted that “the court assessed all the evidence from the investigation objectively. More than 100 witnesses were questioned. More than 50 examinations were carried out. All evidence was recognized by the court as weighty and admissible.”

Let us add that Dmitry Loshagin will be credited for the period of detention (1 year and 3.5 months), so he will be released at the beginning of 2024.

“I know he is innocent. 14 psychics said"

The mothers of Dmitry Loshagin and the late Yulia Prokopyeva - about the lives of their children

Today, August 18, in the Oktyabrsky District Court of Yekaterinburg, the trial began in the case of the famous Yekaterinburg photographer Dmitry Loshagin, accused of murdering his wife, model Yulia Prokopieva-Loshagina. The first hearing was preliminary and was held behind closed doors. Loshagin was shown to journalists only when they were taken out of the guard room into the courtroom and brought back. When asked “how are you doing?”, he only had time to say: “Everything is great”! In addition to prosecutors and lawyers, both mothers of Dmitry and the late Yulia came to the trial. They refrained from communicating with the press before the start of the trial. But after the meeting they agreed to talk, dispelling several rumors about the children’s lives.

Svetlana Ryabova, mother of Yulia Prokopyeva:

Svetlana Viktorovna, before the start of the trial, you spoke with the lawyer about the two million rubles that Yulia had in her account and which Dmitry took for himself.

– On July 7, the amount was deposited into one account, collected from all of Yulia’s other accounts, and on the 27th he kills her. Of course it's a coincidence. He inherited half - his legal marital share.

– Was there a mercenary motive for the murder?

- No, it happened by chance.

“Do you think he didn’t kill her on purpose?”

- This murder was unintentional. This says a lot. It was a murder, so to speak, against the backdrop of the fact that he smoked marijuana and drank alcohol. I knew about this from my daughter. Well, I lived and lived like this. Things were headed towards divorce.

– Did he tell you something himself?

- No. The only thing that constantly says: “I didn’t kill, I didn’t kill, I didn’t kill.”

– Did your daughter drink alcohol or drugs on the day of her death?

– There is an investigative and medical report in the case... of a corpse, we’ll call it that now, since everything happened. Then, during the second examination, they insisted that she allegedly took drugs. Drugs are fixed over a long period of time, for about six months. I knew she had none of this. But now there is documentary evidence of this.

– What’s the story with the certificate of HIV status (there were rumors that the Loshagins suspected each other of cheating, that one of them had AIDS, allegedly they were checked by doctors and it was this situation that became the reason for a quarrel that ended in murder , - approx. Znak.com)?

– AIDS, which they talked about, and about some boy, that the certificate was fake... It was a real certificate. It’s just that Yulia went to Italy to work, and women under 30 are not allowed into Italy at all. It was already with great difficulty that she made her way there. You won't be able to enter the country without this HIV certificate. The certificate was taken for work.

“Did Yulia tell you something, did he beat her?”

- Certainly.

- So they had quarrels before?

- Certainly. The investigator also knows about this. When I recognized the leg (they tried to burn Yulia’s corpse), I realized that it was my child, and I just started pouring out a cornucopia of things about this relationship to the investigator. Firstly, he watched her constantly. That is, during the wedding he says: “I want to look at the world through your eyes and grow old with you, hand in hand.” And at the same time, she is flying to work, and she has a listening device. All this is unpleasant. Jealousy is unfounded. At first they were still living, and only then there was something so incomprehensible.

– There was talk that Dmitry Loshagin himself was not very faithful in his relationships. This is true?

- Yes. I've heard about this.

– Who was the initiator of the future divorce?

“I know that he didn’t intend to live with her.” I know that he had a close relationship with “Miss Ekaterinburg 2006” [Daria Dementieva] (received the title at the age of 16). And Julia knew about it.

Svetlana Sokolova, mother of Dmitry Loshagin:

– Svetlana Robertovna, did you talk to Dmitry before the trial?

– Actually, no.

– Are you even allowed to see him?

– Recently, once on a date. Three dates in a year.

-What did he say?

“I know he’s innocent.” 14 psychics said it wasn't him. So we are waiting for the forces of light (smiles).

– How is he feeling now, how is his health?

– I think everything is fine. It's holding on. Although on the date he said that for two months he was simply in shock from what had happened to him. But this is a test, everyone goes through it themselves.

– Is there evidence in the case that confirms his guilt?

– Did the investigators put pressure on him?

“Everyone was pushing.”

– Was it psychological or physical pressure?

– Psychological. Fantasy works well, and they made a molehill out of a molehill perfectly. What has arrived, we need to clear it out now.

– Were you looking for other culprits?

- What for? He’s convenient, he’s like a scapegoat.

– Do you communicate with Yulia’s relatives?

- No. I tried, but they didn't want to.

– How was it, what did you want to tell them?

– When we were traveling with psychics, we tried. They had one thing - material things and dogs.

- What kind of dogs?

– The little dogs that Dima bought. They were left homeless - friends took them in (today in the court corridor, Yulia’s relatives said that Loshagin did not like dogs and one of them even died). They have only one thing - give us this, give us that. Two cars were taken. Something else. In general, this doesn’t bother me. Only the son worries, that's all.

– Your son asked him to give him something to the pre-trial detention center: books, things?

- He asked for books.

- What is he reading?

- He read... I bought five or six volumes, the ancient Aryan Vedas. Then he read it - an interesting series of [esotericists by Larisa] Seklitova and [Lyudmila] Strelnikova came out. The Age of Aquarius gave way to the Age of Pisces. Change of eras, change of energies, the fifth race passes into the sixth. This is all very interesting, just esoteric. There was one esotericist, they talked with Yulia, and here are her words: “Dimka is innocent, I messed up myself.”

– We talked with Yulia – do you mean with spirit?

- Yes. They talked. Now I’ll tell you when (remembers). After Easter, perhaps. We had to rent out ["Loshagin-loft"] (the Loshagins' studio apartment), we were standing there, and there was a boy, an esotericist - he saw her there.

– If not your son, then who?

“This man will still be punished in three years.” He'll get his, that's all.

– Do you have any idea who he is?

– (smiles, thinks). Rumors - why would I say them?

– This person, is he from Dmitry and Yulia’s entourage?

– This is from Yulia’s circle.

- They say that they were heading towards divorce and Julia had another person?

- They say - and let them speak. It’s just that if the person had not behaved morally unstable, then all this would not have happened. If only they hadn't thrown money at it. For her, money meant a lot great importance.

– Are you sure of your son’s innocence? The security forces prove his guilt through an investigative experiment: he allegedly put the body in a box and took it out.

- This is such nonsense. Firstly, he has a broken leg, two surgeries on his kidney and spine. If he lifts the weight, then that’s it – his vertebrae are finished. He had a special massage therapist. And to lift such a weight is nonsense. You will lift this box yourself! There must have been something left in the box. Then the body hardens, after a few hours it can no longer be bent. As Dimka said, “the whole prison is laughing.” Excuse me, of course. Well, if you think about it, this is nonsense.

– Why doesn’t he put forward his versions?

“He doesn’t consider himself guilty.” He went to bed, the next day, as far as I know, he was supposed to work. If she left, then that's her problem.

– What irritates the investigation most of all is that he does not cooperate.

“The lawyers told him this: “If you make a deal with the investigation, they will make a molehill out of a molehill.” Already done for 8 volumes. Get it.

Why didn’t he write a statement to the police?

– This (Yulia leaving home) happened more than once. If this was the first time she left... He eventually got tired of it and said: “Either we live normally, or we separate.”

– Yulia’s mother says that they were on the verge of divorce...

- It is not true. He hoped and wanted to live with her. And now everything has turned into a show. The show goes on!

On June 24, 2015, the photographer was sentenced to 10 years in a maximum security colony for the murder of fashion model Yulia Prokopyeva-Loshagina.

To implement his fashion projects, Dmitry Loshagin purchased a two-story loft at Belinsky, 32, with access to the roof. There was his studio and apartment where he lived. The loft is located on the 17th floor. The photographer called his home “Loshagin LOFT art space.”

Personal life of Dmitry Loshagin

Dmitry Loshagin was married twice. He met his first wife Tatyana Grigorieva in 2004, when she was 17 years old. Two years later the couple got married. They had a son. And in 2010, the Loshagins divorced. Tatyana headed the modeling agency Art models for some time and participated in many projects of her now ex-husband. And later she got a job as a bar manager at the Hyatt Hotel. At the trials in the scandalous case of the murder of Yulia Prokopieva-Loshagina, Tatyana said that after meeting Yulia, Dmitry abandoned the child, did not pay child support and insisted that the son was not born from him.

Loshagin met his second wife Yulia Prokopyeva when she was 16 years old (he was 10 years older than Yulia). He was on the jury at one of the beauty contests, and Yulia took part in it. Loshagin immediately suggested beautiful girl make a portfolio. But the relationship did not begin immediately, but only 10 years later.

In one of the interviews, Dmitry said that he realized that he fell in love while filming in India. The girl posed in a wedding dress on an elephant. Seeing her in this form, Loshagin approached Yulia with the words: “Will you marry me? I want to look at this world through the reflection of your eyes. I dream of growing old next to you, walking along the beach and holding your hand.” You can see the biography of Yulia Prokopyeva.

After India, Yulia and Dmitry began dating. They celebrated New Year 2011 together in Finland. There Loshagin, while skiing, broke both ankles. After that, he had a long lawsuit with the insurance company, which was supposed to pay for his treatment. In the same year, 2011, Dmitry and Yulia got married. Their wedding photo shoot took place in Prague.

Dmitry and Yulia lived in a studio apartment on Belinskogo, 32. Loshagin himself called this place “Loshagin LOFT art space.” The local elite often visited there, fashionable parties and exhibitions took place. Loshagin also took photographs there. In addition, as the media write, he rented out his loft for filming for a tidy sum.

The scandalous case of Dmitry Loshagin with the murder of fashion model Yulia Prokopyeva

On August 22, 2013, in the loft of the Loshagins, a fashionable reception was held in honor of the artist Ekaterina Ichkinskaya, who opened an exhibition of her paintings. About 50 guests gathered at the party, most of them were representatives of the local beau monde and elite. After this party, Yulia Prokopyeva suddenly disappeared. It is interesting that her husband did not show any concern, did not look for Yulia and led a normal life.

Prokopieva’s relatives, who live in Nizhny Tagil, were the first to worry. They began to find out from Loshagin where Yulia was. The photographer calmly replied that she had gone somewhere in his car. Then, answering questions from investigators, he will talk a lot about how the model often left somewhere without warning him and didn’t even call. Dmitry Loshagin did not contact the police, and her brother Mikhail Ryabov wrote a statement about the girl’s disappearance on August 31.

Investigators soon found out that on August 24, 50 meters from the Staromoskovsky tract, the body of a naked, strangled woman was found. Her body was severely burned, and law enforcement was unable to identify her. After identification by relatives and genetic examination, it turned out that this was Yulia Prokopyeva.

Loshagin himself refused to go to the identification parade. But on September 2, he unexpectedly put up an advertisement for the sale of his loft, which he valued at 50 million rubles.

The husband of the deceased model has become the main suspect in her murder case. Already on September 3, Dmitry Loshagin was detained in Pervouralsk when, according to some sources, he tried to escape.

Loshagin was arrested. During the trials he was in jail. In total, he spent about 1.5 years behind bars. And on December 25, 2015, Judge Eduard Izmailov made a sensational verdict: Loshagin was acquitted and released straight from the courtroom.

However, this turn of events outraged the prosecutor’s office and the relatives of the murdered Yulia Prokopyeva. A few days after the verdict was announced, the prosecutor's office of the Sverdlovsk region filed an appeal against the announced verdict. And in January 2015, immediately after the holidays, the mother of the deceased fashion model Svetlana Ryabova filed an appeal against the verdict. The third appeal came from the Moscow lawyer Evgeniy Chernousov, hired by Ryabova. In particular, the lawyer doubted the professionalism of Sverdlovsk investigators, pointing out some mistakes in the investigation.

New judicial debates began, and the accused Dmitry Loshagin received a written undertaking not to leave the place. All this time, Loshagin was in the city, regularly attending court hearings and accepting new orders for photography. As a result, on June 24, 2015, Judge Alexandra Evladova handed down a new sentence to the photographer: he was sentenced to 10 years in a maximum security colony.
