GLAMOROUS BODYGUARD KILLED IN CARJACKING
Anna Loginova was Russia's most famous bodyguard
Wednesday January 30,2008
RUSSIA’S most famous female bodyguard has been killed while trying to stop her Porsche car being carjacked.
Glamorous Anna Loginova, 29, died from head injuries after she clung to the door handle and was dragged along a Moscow street at high speed.
Police believe she was killed in a random attack and was not targeted because of her work for wealthy clients.
Loginova, pictured left, ran an agency for female bodyguards, some trained by the former KGB, to give discreet protection to Moscow’s billionaires and their wives and mistresses.
She had recently spoken of dealing with a carjacker in Moscow. “I got out, locked the car and a man ran up and squeezed my hand with the keys in.
"I reacted immediately with a jujutsu move, bending back his hand and hitting his face with my elbow. He did not expect such a reaction. I took out my handgun but a car passed by and he jumped in.”
She said her team of glamorous bodyguards gave better protection than beefy security men. “A man gets sick and tired of male bodyguards around all the time,” she said.

This is a sad story. Does any good news come out of Russia these days?
It seems ironic that a country which once ruled its people with a rod of iron should now be ruled by people who have no inclination to take seriously the fight against crime.
