Her death has been ruled a suicide. She would have been 21 years old on Wednesday.

The young model from Kazakhstan was known as the "Russian Rapunzel" and "the Long Hair Goddess." She appeared on the covers of French Elle and Russian Vogue; modeled in campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Moschino, and many others; and walked the catwalk for Jill Stuart and Betsey Johnson.
