Anastasia Soltan, the daughter of Pavel Soltan, vice-speaker of the Legislative Assembly, who died in an accident, died after falling from the 12th floor of a building on Butlerova Street in St. Petersburg. The tragedy occurred on the evening of November 24 - where her parents are located. A few hours before her death, she posted a link to an article entitled “ I'm offended by my parents for not teaching me how to live without them.". On the day of her death, the girl turned 22 years old. Back in August, she was in an accident where her parents died and she received serious injuries. Then she divorced her husband, then a conflict began with her sister.

Marina Parfenova, a close friend of the family, told Metro how relationships developed in the Soltan family and what happened immediately before the girl’s death.

According to Marina, she was friends with the Soltan family for 30 years.


- They were rather closed people, but we were very close with Pavel and Svetlana. Nastya was very domestic, absolutely her mother’s child. Despite her age - 22 years old - she could not take a step without her mother.

As Marina Parfenova says, when her parents passed away, Nastya’s sister Veronica remained close to her. The deceased fell under her influence. According to a family friend, Alexey - ex-spouse Anastasia Soltan - simply interfered with Veronica and her husband.

You see, Veronica is not own daughter Pavel. And Nastya had a share in the apartment where they once lived as a family. And now Nastya’s entire share belongs to Veronica. As Pavel told me, she and her husband have a lot of loans, but the debts must be repaid.

Marina Parfenova witnessed what happened immediately after the death of the parents of two girls.

The state Nastya was in was all the work of Veronica and her husband - from the first minute. On the second day after the death of her parents, Veronica runs and cuts the locks into the apartment. She and her husband were all afraid that Lesha would take something, they kicked him out of the apartment. Nastya didn’t even regain consciousness, but this was already happening there.

As Marina says, later, when Nastya was in the hospital because of nervous breakdown, Veronica came there and said: " You don't need Alexey. We will find you another".

Marina Parfenova tried to talk to Nastya and told her: " Hold on Lesha, in him is your salvation"But Nastya did not listen, she was deeply depressed.

Alexey did not leave Nastya, he came to see her in the hospital, but she began to have hysterics, she began to drive him away. He was simply covered in mud. And if Veronica had not interfered, had not pushed him away, had not discredited him, everything would have been fine.

Marina says that the young people themselves were not ready for family life- they dated for about six months, and then lived in marriage for no more than two months.

Nastya had depressive states and before, she worked with a psychologist. Then this tragedy with her parents, which Nastya saw with her own eyes, because she was conscious. Three doctors looked at Nastya after her first suicide attempt and said: “Everything is fine, she’s just a spoiled girl.” She was released and was not given any pills or other treatment. Veronica grabbed it for herself. We wanted to find good specialist, and Nastya was taken to a hospital where there were 15 people in a ward.

Marina Parfenova also remembered how the parents of the future spouses received their daughters. The meeting with Alexey, Nastya’s future husband, went well, Pavel and Svetlana were very happy. But Veronica’s husband was not to his liking.

Veronica is all under her husband. Svetlana told me that he beats her, and she was in the hospital for safekeeping - he beat her,” says Marina.

The attackers are suspected of a series of robberies and attacks on foreigners in St. Petersburg.

The media is haunted by the story of Anastasia Soltan. I read here and there and decided to write it myself, in detail.
This girl committed suicide on November 24th. 2016 - jumped out of a window, unable to cope with post-traumatic syndrome. On this day she turned 22 years old. Why was the girl left alone on her birthday?

On August 14, 2016, she got into an accident with her parents. My father was driving the car. Her parents died, Nastya received broken legs, a tailbone, and other injuries, but survived.
However, she was unable to survive the depression - the result is known.
They say that Nastya was very attached to her parents and did not want to live alone. But her older sister Veronica lives separately with her husband and three children. Soltan promised to help them with a mortgage on their apartment.

Veronica is not Soltan’s own daughter: he married a woman with a child. Veronica is 33 years old.

Pavel Soltan was a unique person. He was born in 1961. When he was 20 years old, he was hit by an electric train and lost his arms and legs. I was not able to find out at what level of amputations he had, but Soltan walked on prosthetics and had prostheses for both arms - cosmetic and active. With the help of active prostheses, he drove a car for 20 years. His car, a Toyota Verso, was converted to manual control. The brake lever, gas lever, plus traditional “turn signals” - all this was assembled around the steering wheel. Machine with automatic transmission, so Soltan at least didn't need a clutch and gear lever. It turns out that Pavel Soltan held the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other he controlled the speed, braked, turned on the turn signals, high and low beams.
However, he had accidents, and one was quite serious: his Zhiguli (Yeltsin gave it to Pavel) collided with a Kamaz - this was in the 90s.
And in the last accident he died. In the car he collided with, a young couple and their 10-month-old child were injured, but everyone survived, although the adults were badly injured.

This is the car that Soltan was driving.

He developed prosthetic hands himself. In 1988 he graduated from the Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute. From 1984 to 1998 he worked as a leading engineer at the Research Institute of Prosthetics.

From 1998 to 2007 - deputy Legislative Assembly St. Petersburg of the second and third convocations in the 13th electoral district.

In March 2007, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly. fourth convocation. Deputy Chairman of the Standing Committee on social issues, member of the standing commission on urban management, urban planning and land issues of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg.

Member of the council of the St. Petersburg branch of the A Just Russia party.

In December 2011, he was elected as a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg of the fifth convocation. On January 18, 2012, he was elected by a majority vote as Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg. This year Soltan participated in another election campaign and most likely would have become a deputy again.

His wife and daughters worked with their father - he found some positions for them.

And his daughter Anastasia married Alexei Plotnikov in the summer. The wedding took place on June 5.


But in Honeymoon the young people put it off: Alexey wanted to become a deputy and participated in the election campaign.

He was born in 1980 (that is, 14 years older than Nastya). Graduated from Baltic State Technical University"VOENMEKH" named after. D.F. Ustinov in 2007. Worked at Korvet-AVIK LLC, development director. He was involved in politics, was a deputy of the fifth convocation of the Municipal Council of the intra-city municipal district of Malaya Okhta on a non-permanent basis, was a member of A Just Russia and was a representative of this party in the DPR and in Syria.
Everyone believed that marrying Pavel Soltan’s daughter would significantly increase Plotnikov’s chances of becoming a deputy. I’ll say right away that he lost the election to someone from United Russia.

After the death of Pavel Soltan, the couple quickly divorced. Nastya was the initiator of the divorce. She complained that Alexey was busy participating in the elections instead of being with her in the hospital.

Let's see: the elections took place on September 18, and Nastya had an accident on September 14. It was the most difficult month for both of them: she suffered physically and mentally, and he had to meet with voters, etc.
Nastya said that Alexey visited her only once. He said that he always slept in the next room of her VIP ward. Who to believe? At the same time, Pavel, in an interview taken with him after Nastya’s death, said that he was not created to care for the sick - there are special people for this, and he had to take care of the future of the family and build a career.

The situation was aggravated by the fact that sister Veronica and her husband were opposed to Alexei. He didn't favor them either. Since they could be at the patient’s bedside more often, they said more bad things about Alexei, for example, that he married not so much Nastya as her father, so that he would help him with his career, and since there is no father, then he has a wife It’s not needed, especially since it’s all broken.

Who was more wrong here?
We won’t take social networks into account: I think they wrote different things there. But what was Sister Veronica thinking? It would seem that it was in her interests to try to save the family: after all, she did not have the opportunity to care for the sick. There is a husband - let him take care and provide.
Alexey behaved like a real bastard - there can’t be two opinions here. He, you see, was offended by his young wife, stood up and said: “Oh, if that’s the case, then please. You chose it yourself.” He insists that he returned the money. Oh, how noble!

Alexey is not a child: he is 14 years older! He must understand that there is responsibility. What kind of grievances can there be against a young woman who has suffered terrible stress, lost both parents, and is in pain? This is ridiculous.

It’s a pity that the A Just Russia party keeps such people. It’s a pity that Sergei Mironov tolerates such a creature around him. If Alexey had been in the CPSU in the good old days, he would have been expelled or given a severe reprimand for such things, and he would have been right.

It seems that Alexey really didn’t love Nastya one bit, but still this is not a reason to act like this: do your duty, help her get on her feet, and then leave.
And she loved him.
Look at this photo

And to this


Why was she throwing tantrums? She had mental problems before. So, she has been visiting a psychologist for three years. But Alexey knew this - so what changed? She was probably spoiled and maladjusted. She probably should have been more cunning: feign optimism, take an interest in the elections, say that she was already fine.

She had to understand that she was left without defenders, that she had no one to rely on except her husband. Perhaps he understood this, but did not want such a life.

I think it was hard for her father, too, when he woke up from the accident without arms and legs. But he wanted to survive, he told himself that he would live as before and achieve everything that he would have achieved if he had been healthy. Why wasn't his resilience passed on to his daughter?
A sick person has no right to have a bad character or whims - everyone will quickly get tired of him and they will abandon him. You can be capricious if you are sick for a couple of days. But if you are serious and for a long time, then you need to behave completely differently: be friendly, take an interest in other people, don’t complain, bother them less with requests.

The father did not consider it necessary to teach his daughter what he could do himself: he thought that it would not be useful, that he would be nearby and lay out the straws.

Nastya had thoughts of death back in September. But she wanted to wait for the divorce so that she would not be buried under her husband’s name.

It is surprising that the girl was tormented by thoughts about money. She suspected that her husband wanted to rob her, there were also some quarrels with her sister over the inheritance, the sister suspected Nastya’s husband of self-interest. How people have changed!

The role of the older sister is also strange in this story. It is understood she has two young children and gave birth to a third in June. It is clear that Nastya is tired of her complaints. But this is a serious matter.

At first, Nastya underwent six operations. When acute condition passed, she was discharged from the hospital. She needed to go to rehabilitation, but she didn’t want to. Veronica insisted. Almost by force, on November 11, Nastya was admitted to the hospital, but she did not like it there. She suffered from insomnia; there were 4 other women in the ward. A few days later, a friend, Olesya, took her from the hospital.
"My husband and I spent a month and a half trying to get her to go to rehabilitation and be able to get rid of crutches. Nastya was not interested in this, because... with crutches they feel more sorry for her. Yesterday in my post, I convincingly asked everyone not to interfere by giving cash with which she can escape from there. We love Nastya, worry about her and don’t want her to become disabled. And yet, there was a person who decided to save her from terrible exercises, massages, exercise therapy, physiotherapy and the pool. Apparently, at Olesya Nastin’s home, rehabilitation will be more effective and she will leave there without crutches. Nastya's stay in the hospital was fully paid for. It might be worth contacting common sense and return her back to rehabilitation?“- this is what Veronica Soltan wrote in Nastya’s blog.

On November 16, Nastya tried to jump out of the window.
“Don’t set foot in our house” will be said to anyone who demonstratively spites us (because we insist on rehabilitation) in front of our three small children, the art teacher will try to jump out the window from the 15th floor with the words: “Mom, dad, take me away from yourself!" I have to protect myself and my children", wrote Veronica Soltan on the social network.
And Nastya was taken to mental asylum. Three doctors looked at Nastya after her first suicide attempt and said: “Everything is fine, she’s just a spoiled girl.”

On November 21, the divorce took place, at which Nastya was not present. On November 23, she somehow left the hospital.

After escaping, Anastasia Soltan went to see her friend, then went to the Legislative Assembly to meet with her father’s colleagues. She was taken from the Mariinsky Palace to her sister's house. Anastasia went to the nearest McDonald's and called the Life78 publication from there - this division of the federal Life more actively covered her story than others - so that they would come and film how they were not giving her the keys to the apartment. Correspondent Nikita Pimenov came to McDonald's with a film crew. After this, Veronica Soltan’s husband gave Anastasia the keys, but warned the publication’s employees that if Anastasia was left alone, she might commit suicide..
Life78 employees came with Soltan to her apartment. They filmed a story in which Anastasia showed them the apartment, said that she wanted to go to the hospital again, and how she was offended by her parents for “not teaching them how to live without them.” The journalists left, leaving Soltan alone. The next evening she committed suicide.

The first, and so far the last, thing Veronica Soltan wrote after the death of her sister was an appeal to the audience of the social network. “I gave you the keys as you asked. Nastya is no longer alive. My God".

Apparently, it was better for everyone.

Here is the VKontakte page. Read it. People don’t like being upset like that: Everyone told Nastya that she needed to pull herself together and move on with her life. Really, what could be simpler?

Last week, the heiress of the Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, Pavel Soltan, who died as a result of an accident in August of this year, committed suicide. The girl had prolonged depression, which became the cause of suicide. A few days later, Soltan divorced Alexei Plotnikov. Anastasia stated that her husband turned his back on her. The victim of the tragedy said that ex-lover didn't even ask how she was feeling.

Journalists contacted Anastasia's ex-husband Alexei Plotnikov. The man openly spoke about what caused his divorce from the unfortunate girl. Plotnikov claims that Anastasia’s entourage insisted on this. Soltan’s relatives, Alexey is convinced, convinced her to go to court with a petition for divorce.

“It’s a pity that there were people next to Anastasia who, in my opinion, gave her no best advice- file for divorce. This initiative of Anastasia together with her sister and husband, which was carried out by a lawyer. Nastya did not come to court. And by coincidence, I myself was late for court. The only thing they asked me was: “Will you appeal the court’s decision?” But you won’t be nice by force. Fight for a person who says: “I don’t want to see you, don’t come here.” On my part, the conversation was short, which ended after handing over the money she asked for,” shared Alexey Plotnikov.

Soltan's ex-husband said that a close family friend, Marina Parfenova, urged him to protect his wife from his sister's influence. According to a friend deceased Pavel Soltana, Veronica was jealous of her sister and mother, so she hated her.

Plotnikov is also sure that Anastasia behaved this way on purpose so that those around her would feel sorry for her. It was for this purpose, the man says, that the girl wrote heartbreaking posts. Alexey believes that the victim of the tragedy depended on the likes and comments that were left for her on the Internet. After Anastasia gave an interview in which she spoke negatively about her loved ones, they began to condemn her in in social networks. “That is, it was no longer support, but criticism. Perhaps she could not stand this criticism,” the ex-lover of the deceased told Life.ru.

We note that in our last interview Soltan spoke frankly about the quarrel with her sister and her husband. Anastasia accused Veronica and Vyacheslav Koltsov of depriving her of the keys to her parents’ apartment and protecting her from communicating with outside world, confiscating her money and phone. If you analyze latest publications Soltan on social networks, it becomes clear that she was in conflict with Veronica’s husband and called him a tyrant. The victim of the tragedy also said that she did not receive funds from her father’s friends allocated for her treatment and rehabilitation.

AN EVENING WITH A DOG


Because in a day, on November 25, Anastasia will be gone. Her body will be found under the windows of a high-rise building. The girl will be picked up by an ambulance. And a few hours later she would die in the hospital.

The dog will remain at home, a silent witness last hours, last tears, last decision...



On Sunday, November 27, according to Komsomolskaya Pravda, she was buried next to her parents at the Kuzmolovskoye cemetery.

Only the closest people came to the funeral. The farewell ceremony was kept as secret as possible.




WHO IS GUILTY?

IN last days everyone wondered what brought the girl to the fatal step.

Accused older sister, who condemned Nastya after her first demonstrative suicide attempt in front of Veronica’s children. They blamed social networks, saying that Nastya could not stand the unkind comments.

They condemned both at once - why did they present their grievances and mutual claims for public discussion?



They commented on Nastya’s psychological instability, saying that she went to a psychotherapist or psychologist.

But some readers saw in what happened the influence of one of the St. Petersburg publications, which did an interview with Nastya before her death.

“They communicated with Nastya unsuccessfully, twelve hours later she died,” people write.

Deputy Boris Vishnevsky completely agrees with them.

I didn’t know Nastya, although I knew Pavel Soltan and his wife Svetlana well,” Boris Vishnevsky told Komsomolskaya Pravda. - But there is a feeling that not best role Journalists played a role in the incident. Perhaps, if there had not been that last plot, the tragedy would not have happened. Marina Shishkina and I (ex-deputy, public figure, journalist. – author’s note) today we are going to prepare and send a request to the ethics commission of the Union of Journalists to check the ethics of such a story. After all, they invaded the apartment, rented everything there... And a few hours later Nastya was gone. We will publish an open statement about the review, anyone who wants to can join.

Let us remind you that on August 14, Deputy of the Legislative Assembly Pavel Soltan crashed on the Scandinavia highway - his Toyota collided head-on with a Mercedes. Pavel Mikhailovich's wife Svetlana also died in the accident. Their youngest daughter Anastasia, who was sitting in the back seat, miraculously survived, but was taken to the hospital.

CALL AN EXPERT

Professor of Psychiatry Mikhail Vinogradov:

“You should have told her simple words: you must live in memory of your parents!”

Nastya’s psyche could not bear so many misfortunes, says Professor Mikhail Vinogradov. – It's about, of course, about meaningful suicide. She wanted to do it. She saw no meaning in life, since she was left without parents, divorced her husband, and was disabled herself. She had to somehow get out of her problems, but her sister, apparently, didn’t need it. Hence the loneliness. Worries about the death of her father and mother, attempts to bring herself into life tired her. She has lost the meaning of existence.

Do you think Nastya was mentally unstable?

Most likely, she was healthy. Just a tragedy that happened in her life, for anyone normal person will have a tragic impact! Much depends on those around you.

What words should you say to people in such a situation?

We have this formula: “In memory of your parents, you must live in such a way that they are proud of you. Parents always give only the best to their children. You must show with your life that they were not mistaken in you. They would like you to have a good life.” And when you come to the grave, tell your parents: “I’m trying to make you proud of me. It’s hard for me, I barely got over your loss, but I found the strength to live - for your sake, because you would want it.” Such in simple words very often it is possible to keep people from taking tragic steps.

According to a family friend, a certain psychiatrist advised Nastya to write letters to her deceased parents...

This is just a mockery! These are unacceptable things!

So instead of being distracted, she plunged into the past?

Yes, and this became an additional impetus for suicide.

My sister took Nastya’s phone so she wouldn’t go on social networks...

Very in vain. She needed to communicate with the world, and she would probably receive support on social networks from the most different people, in the same vein: we must live with dignity for the sake of mom and dad.

And if someone had been there on her birthday, would Nastya still live?

Big question. Even if someone came to her for a while, after that she would still be left alone - without the support of family and friends.

Anastasia Soltan, daughter of the vice-speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Pavel Soltan, who died in an accident. The tragedy occurred on the evening of November 24 - where her parents’ apartment is located. A few hours before her death, she posted a link to an article entitled “I’m offended by my parents for not teaching me how to live without them.” On the day of her death, the girl turned 22 years old. Back in August, she was involved in an accident, where her parents died and she received serious injuries. Then then setroy.

Marina Parfenova, a close friend of the family, told Metro how relationships developed in the Soltan family and what happened immediately before the girl’s death.

According to Marina, she was friends with the Soltan family for 30 years.
- They were rather closed people, but we were very close with Pavel and Svetlana. Nastya was very domestic, absolutely her mother’s child. Despite her age - 22 years old - she could not take a step without her mother.

As Marina Parfenova says, when her parents passed away, Nastya’s sister Veronica remained close to her. The deceased fell under her influence. According to a family friend, Alexey, the ex-husband of Anastasia Soltan, simply interfered with Veronica and her husband.

You see, Veronica is not Pavel’s own daughter. And Nastya had a share in the apartment where they once lived as a family. And now Nastya’s entire share belongs to Veronica. As Pavel told me, she and her husband have a lot of loans, but the debts must be repaid.

Marina Parfenova witnessed what happened immediately after the death of the parents of two girls.

The state Nastya was in was all the work of Veronica and her husband - from the first minute. On the second day after the death of her parents, Veronica runs and cuts the locks into the apartment. She and her husband were all afraid that Lesha would take something, they kicked him out of the apartment. Nastya didn’t even regain consciousness, but this was already happening there.

As Marina says, later, when Nastya was in the hospital due to a nervous breakdown, Veronica came there and said: “You don’t need Alexei. We will find you another.”

Marina Parfenova tried to talk to Nastya and told her: “Stay with Lesha, he is your salvation.” But Nastya did not listen, she was deeply depressed.

Alexey did not leave Nastya, he came to see her in the hospital, but she began to have hysterics, she began to drive him away. He was simply covered in mud. And if Veronica had not interfered, had not pushed him away, had not discredited him, everything would have been fine.

Marina says that the young people themselves were not ready for family life - they dated for about six months, and then lived in marriage for no more than two months.

Nastya had depression before; she worked with a psychologist. Then this tragedy with her parents, which Nastya saw with her own eyes, because she was conscious. Three doctors looked at Nastya after her first suicide attempt and said: “Everything is fine, she’s just a spoiled girl.” She was released and was not given any pills or other treatment. Veronica grabbed it for herself. We wanted to find a good specialist, but Nastya was taken to a hospital where there were 15 people in a ward.

Marina Parfenova also remembered how the parents of the future spouses received their daughters. The meeting with Alexey, Nastya’s future husband, went well, Pavel and Svetlana were very happy. But Veronica’s husband was not to his liking.

Veronica is all under her husband. Svetlana told me that he beats her, and she was in the hospital for safekeeping - he beat her,” says Marina.

According to media reports, Anastasia Soltan will presumably be buried at the Kuzmolovskoye cemetery in the Leningrad region, where her parents are buried.
