A prominent Russian construction tycoon has been taken into custody following a violent incident that left a young model and influencer fighting for her life after emergency brain surgery.
Model Found with Horrific Injuries
Anzhelika Tartanova, aged 33, was discovered with catastrophic head wounds requiring immediate neurosurgical intervention. The social media influencer remains in a critical condition following the operation.
Authorities state the attack occurred after Tartanova attempted to terminate a six-month relationship with the businessman, who has been described by sources as "controlling and jealous".
Tycoon Faces Serious Charges
The suspect, Dmitry Kuzmin, 42, a wealthy figure in Russia's construction industry, has been formally charged with causing "serious bodily harm". His arrest was confirmed on Wednesday, 17th December 2025.
Investigators are working on the premise that the assault was directly linked to the model's decision to end their brief romantic involvement. The case has sent shockwaves through social and business circles in Russia.
A Life Hanging in the Balance
The primary focus remains on Tartanova's precarious health. Medical professionals have indicated that the severity of her head injuries means her survival is not yet assured.
This developing story highlights extreme outcomes of coercive and violent behaviour in relationships, even among the elite. Police continue their investigations as the legal process against Kuzmin begins.
