Ovechkins - plane hijacking
The Ovechkins picked up a flight from the western direction Irkutsk-Kurgan-Leningrad. For the capture, the eldest sons acquired two sawn-off shotguns from a single-barreled and double-barreled shotgun, and also made homemade explosive devices. During previous flights, they noticed that the double bass they had in their orchestra did not fit into the security scanner and airport employees checked it manually. The Ovechkins decided to take advantage of this. They made a double bottom in the double bass case, where they hid sawn-off shotguns, 100 rounds of ammunition and bombs. Their fame also played into their hands.
Before the ill-fated flight, the popular family was practically not inspected. They planned to fly to London, although they were ready to fly to any other Western country. In addition to the mother and seven brothers, three more daughters from the Ovechkin family came on board - the eldest had already started her own family, lived separately and did not participate in the plans of her mother and brothers.
Stewardess Tamara Zharkaya
After refueling in Kurgan, flying in the Vologda area, the ship’s commander Kupriyanov receives a note with the following content: “Proceed to England (London). Don't go down. Otherwise we'll blow up the plane. You are under our control."
The commander transmits this information to the ground. There was fuel left for an hour and a half of flight; the plane would not have reached London under any circumstances, not to mention the fact that the crew had no experience in international flights. They tried to explain this fact to family terrorists. Flight engineer Innokenty Stupakov went into the cabin and, as a result of negotiations, managed to explain to Ovechkin that there was not enough fuel for the flight to the UK, after which he managed to convince the terrorists to allow the plane to land in Finland to refuel.
Then they ordered us to land at the nearest “abroad” to refuel. “Earth” initially gave the go-ahead, but it was impossible to fly even to Finland and Sweden, and the criminals could recognize Tallinn from the air. It was decided to send the plane to an alternate airfield near Vyborg in the hope that the Ovechkins would not recognize it. But to land, the Tu-154 crew has to make a noticeable maneuver - a 180-degree turn. The terrorists notice this and begin to panic. Flight attendant Tamara Zharkaya tries to calm them down, assuring them that the plane is making a maneuver before landing in the Finnish city of Kotka.
Already on the ground, the Ovechkins notice that “Flammable” is written in Russian on an approaching refueling truck, and then they noticed soldiers with Kalashnikovs surrounding the plane. Then the second son, Dmitry Ovechkin, kills the flight attendant Tamara. All family members lose their nerves; passengers later describe them as having lost their minds. They did not negotiate and refused to let the passengers go. In addition, there was a bomb threat. Well, then the capture group acts completely unprofessionally.
First, one machine gunner bursts into the salon, takes a burst and leaves the salon. After some time, a full-fledged assault begins. The terrorists fire back and manage to detonate the bomb, but it doesn’t kill anyone, it only starts a fire. The result was 9 dead, 30 wounded, the plane was engulfed in flames and subsequently completely burned out.
The plane hijacked by the Ovechkins was completely burned out
Passengers on the ground who jumped out of the burning plane in panic were surrounded and beaten with rifle butts - “what if there were terrorists among them” - this was the justification of the security forces. In case of failure, Ninel’s mother left clear instructions for the children: kill her, shoot themselves and detonate a bomb. Dmitry Ovechkin shot himself after killing a flight attendant, followed by Oleg and Alexander. The eldest son, Vasily Ovechkin, fulfilled his mother’s request - he killed her and shot himself. Igor Ovechkin got cold feet and hid in the toilet, later appearing in court along with his older sister Olga, who played the role of a servant in the family and also flew on this flight.
The case turned out to be loud. The prosecutor's office was inundated with angry letters from citizens, and the case materials ultimately consisted of six volumes. The entire city buried the deceased flight attendant Tamara Zharkaya. The trial was held openly; so many people gathered in the hall that there were not enough seats for everyone. Passengers of the hijacked airliner, as well as crew members, acted as witnesses at the trial. The younger brothers, Misha and Seryozha, were too young to bear criminal responsibility, so Igor and Olga Ovechkin were in the dock, receiving 8 and 6 years in prison, respectively.

The terrorists of the 1960s-1980s were generally romantic idealists, which, of course, in no way justifies the actions they committed. And law enforcement agencies were just learning how to neutralize them—learning, among other things, from their own bloody mistakes. Well, the number “7” has definitely become unlucky for the seven brothers from the “Seven Simeons”. But it’s hard to call them romantics, led by their mother-heroine...
Candid photos of Ovechkin's wife caused a sensation
Russian beauties are extremely popular abroad. Leading British publications have recently become concerned about the health of the emaciated Lesya Kafelnikova. American tabloids circulated piquant photos of Dana Borisova and the daughter of Kirill Safonov. And now pictures of Anastasia Shubskaya have spread across social networks of hockey fans, who, judging by the comments, approved of the choice of Alexander Ovechkin.
“God, I envy Ovi! His wife is luxurious!”, “Legs from the ears,” “What a figure!”, “Ovechkin has great taste,” the athlete’s international fans admired. “The best girl in the USSR”, “Well, Glagoleva’s daughter, beauty is in the genes,” the Russians agreed with the foreigners.
The funny thing is that the images that caused a stir are 100 years old at lunchtime. Long before her romantic relationship with Ovechkin, Shubskaya published many candid photos on Instagram. And it’s a stretch to call them candid, because on social networks you can see a lot of shots of almost any girl in a bikini. And this is considered the norm.
The heir to businessman Kirill Shubsky has always been famous for her ideal figure. When your legs are infinitely long and your waist is so thin, it’s a sin to hide such beauty. Anastasia’s numerous subscribers, almost 100 thousand of them, are always happy to see new photos of the model and actress.
By the way, Ovechkin and Shubskaya recently made the public nervous. They hid their wedding, and the media and fans could not understand whether the happy event took place. However, at the end of August, the hockey player gave up and published a photo with wedding rings.
Alexander briefly captioned the photo: “This is happiness❤.” Anastasia turned out to be much more silent. She did not post holiday photos for a long time, although she changed her last name in her social network profile from Shubskaya to Ovechkina.
This is happiness❤

But then she, too, “split.” The athlete's newly-made wife posted a photo on Instagram taken on her wedding day. Shubskaya timed the publication to coincide with the hockey player’s 31st birthday, and in the caption she wished to remain the same as he is and thanked him for every day of their life together.
“I am happy just from the thought that it will be like this all my life! – Anastasia admitted to her husband. – You know how much I love you, and I will not stop repeating this every day many times. Health to you, my dear! And I promise that I will do everything in my power to make you the happiest! Happy birthday, my life!”
Rest...enjoyment...❤!

As Dni.Ru wrote, a talkative friend of Ovechkin and Shubskaya revealed to journalists the secret of their marriage. According to him, the hockey player and the model legalized their relationship before God, and in the near future they plan to do this, as they say, before people. “They got married. The wedding will be in a year,” said a family friend.
