The smallest passenger Main Passenger
Information about those killed in a plane crash over Egypt appears on the Internet. The ill-fated flight collected dozens of beautiful love stories and amazing human destinies.
Darina looks at the runway, TV channel "Russia 24" reports. Small hands, spreading their fingers, pressed against the glass. "The main passenger," mother Tatiana tenderly signs the photo of her daughter. This will be the first flight in her life. On October 15, the Gromov family departed from Pulkovo Airport for Egypt. Alexey and Tanya got married a year ago - in July they celebrated a "calico" wedding. They stayed in Sharm el-Sheikh for two weeks, celebrating Darina's 10 months. Her photograph has already become a symbol of this tragedy.
There were 25 children on board the Kogalymavia aircraft, including Nastya Sheina. She turned 3 in March. For her parents, this trip to the sea was special. Among Arabian fairy tale, in the most popular tourist city, under the scorching sun even at this time of the year, Yuri and Olga celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary and ten years since they met.
Little Nastya did not leave her parents for a second. The photographs show her fooling around with her mother on a sun lounger near the pool, posing with her father near the clumsy inscription "Egypt 2015", made by hand in the sand. October 31 at 6:40 am Olga Sheina will write on her page on the Internet: "We are flying home." And he will post a photo of her husband with Nastya in her arms. In 11 minutes, the plane will take off, and these shots will be the last published.
It so happened that it was this flight that collected dozens of incredible and touching love stories on its board. The deputy head of Pskov, Alexander Kopylov, was a widower. His meeting with Elena Melnikova completely changed his life. She helped him get over the loss. Colleagues and acquaintances noticed: when the couple was together, their eyes shone with happiness. He promised to take her to the sea and kept his promise. When it became known today that the couple was on the list of the dead, no one could believe the news.
“I couldn’t believe it. And when the information was confirmed, it was a shock. He wanted to make a gift to his wife Lena Mikhailovna, who had a birthday three days ago,” says Ivan Tsetsersky, head of Pskov.
Love also predetermined the trip for the Rodin family. Elena and Alexander went to celebrate their first wedding anniversary on the golden beaches of Sharm el-Sheikh. Three years ago, Lena was vacationing in Egypt with her parents, this year she decided to return here with her beloved man. Tomorrow was the girl's birthday.
A citizen of Belarus with a ticket to an Egyptian resort was encouraged at work. Relatives say it was his first flight.
Most of the passengers on the plane were Petersburgers. But residents of the Leningrad, Novgorod and Tambov regions also flew on board, Altai Territory, Karelia, as well as Pskov, Krasnoyarsk, Volgograd, Tyumen. Relatives of the victims are now going to St. Petersburg, where the identification will be carried out.
Relatives of the dead have been gathering at Pulkovo Airport since morning. They are confused and seem to not fully believe what happened.
“I came here, entered the airport. I went to the counter, asked if there were any more flights to Sharm el-Sheikh, they told me that it was only in the evening. That’s it,” says a relative of one of the victims.
Here they waited for children and parents, brothers and sisters, friends and work colleagues. Irina came to meet her friends. At the beginning of the week, they basked together under the sun. She was supposed to fly on the same flight, but her husband persuaded her to return home a few days earlier. In the same way, Yulia Kazantseva managed to avoid the tragedy.
With loved ones of passengers flight Sharm El Sheikh- St. Petersburg psychologists now work.
On board, along with passengers, were also seven crew members: two pilots and five flight attendants. Colleagues spoke of them as responsible and diligent workers. Captain aircraft was Valery Nemov, on his account more than 12 thousand hours of flight. He denies his possible guilt in the crash of the Kogalymavia liner.
"This is a man who is certainly experienced, certainly respected, certainly a very deserved pilot. We have no reason to assume that this was some kind of mistake on the part of the air crew," said Oksana Golovina, a partner at THC.
On the this moment 150 bodies have already been recovered from the rubble. Some of them have already been sent to Cairo to the city morgue. A special board of the Ministry of Emergency Situations flew to Egypt. Russian rescuers will also take part in the operation at the crash site.
Considering all the circumstances of the A321 false crash on 10/31/2015 - a props in Sinai, media blanks of accounts, selfies, lists, etc., "the main passenger of Darina Gromova" simply cannot but be a photoshop.
The left child was filmed somewhere indoors, the airport was inserted.
The work is very meticulous.
But Photoshop can't leave traces. There are many. We show.
Lighting. The runway is most obviously illuminated by the low sun on the right (arrow). With this illumination, the left shoulder from behind (circled) cannot be illuminated. This is an oversight by the shopper, who used the figure of a child, shot somewhere in a room with two light sources, one of which is on the right, the second on the left.
The most important jamb of photoshops. They drew some kind of homunculus. The scale is greatly off.
There is something to measure the width of the parapet than in the photo of this parapet with two adults
With an average length of a male foot with a boot, the width of the parameter is a maximum of 4.5 cm.
By measuring the height of the child with this width, we get a maximum of 45 cm plus feet. It's some kind of homunculus, not a human baby at 10 months old. Newborns are taller.
I'm on the lookout, sorry. With a very high clearance.
Who wants to - calculate more precisely, based on any table of the ratio of foot length and shoe size. I took the maximum, 32 cm is a lot, in fact, this guy has a leg no larger than 40)
It is possible in another way. Elementary combining the width of the parapet, we get a homunculus growth below the knee of a normal adult.

There were 224 people in the Russian plane that crashed over the Sinai Peninsula. Mostly Petersburgers. Many happy couples, families with children. Behind every name on the passenger list is a whole life with its history, unfulfilled plans and dreams. Relatives and friends of the victims spoke about what they were like. Those who flew away to rest on the sea and will never return.
"Main Passenger"
Darina Gromova became one of the symbols of this tragedy. The girl was only 10 months old - she was the smallest passenger on the crashed plane. On October 15, Darina's mother, Tatyana Gromova, took a picture of her daughter at Pulkovo Airport, posted the picture on her VKontakte page and signed "Main Passenger". Two weeks later, this photo went around the world - a girl looking at the planes - like an angel before her last flight.
- Tanya and Lesha - both worked in our company (the company organizes large exhibitions, fairs. - Ed.). Here they met, began to meet, got married last summer, ”recalls a colleague of the Gromovs. - Good kind guys who loved each other. Lesha was a technical specialist in the IT department. Tanya is a very stubborn and capable girl, despite her young age, in a few years she has gone from a simple manager to a project manager for organizing a large forum. She was very mobile, flexible, in childhood she was engaged in gymnastics, before marriage she played tennis.
When Tatyana had to go on maternity leave, and then sit at home with her little daughter, she, of course, lacked adventure, movement, she rushed to the office and constantly asked her colleagues how they were doing.
“Tanya traveled and flew a lot at work, she was constantly sent on business trips, including long ones,” a colleague recalled.
So planes were her usual way of moving around the world. And she was especially looking forward to this trip to Egypt - she wanted to escape from the cold St. Petersburg, for the first time to bathe her daughter in the sea. Darina's grandmother was worried that the girl was still small for long-distance flights, and offered to look after her while Tanya and Lesha would rest in Egypt. But the parents did not want to part with their "main passenger" for a long time.
"We're flying home!"
Another photo that is hard to look at now is the one taken while boarding the ill-fated flight. In the photo, the father climbs the ladder of the plane with his three-year-old daughter in his arms. The picture was taken by the girl's mother, Olga Sheina from Peterhof. She captioned the photo like this: “Hi Peter! Farewell Egypt. We're flying home."
The entire Shein family of five gathered to relax in Sharm el-Sheikh: 30-year-old Olga, her 37-year-old husband Yuri and their three children - 11-year-old son Zhenya, 10-year-old daughter Lera and little three-year-old Nastya. It was no coincidence that the Sheins chose the date for their vacation - on October 27, Olga and Yura celebrated the 10th anniversary of their acquaintance and the four-year wedding anniversary. All family members swam, sunbathed, rejoicing in the sea and the sun, capturing every moment of such a long-awaited vacation. Already sitting on the plane on the way back, they took another picture before takeoff - baby Nastya at the window, mother Olga in the middle, older sister Lera at the aisle, Yura with her son in the next chairs. Rested, satisfied, happy. Less than half an hour after this picture, the entire family died.
The older children of the Shein family were very athletic - Zhenya played football, Lera - swimming. In the summer, the girl went to the training camp in Evpatoria, won prizes. This year she received the third adult category, which she proudly announced on her page on the social network.
“We loved her very much,” friends from the sports school told Lerins. - Such a friend could be envied, she was one of those who will never give out your secret, will not betray. The boys loved her very much. She had a mystery. And yet she was kind and sweet.
Lera was fond of not only swimming, but also with pleasure "worked" as an older sister for little Nastya - she painted with her, dressed up and photographed her.
Relatives of the Shein family are in deep mourning - they cannot comprehend and accept what happened.
“We are in grief,” says Olga Sheina’s cousin Olesya Dushechkina. “Five relatives died at once.
The hardest thing is to survive the tragedy of Olya's mother - she suddenly lost her daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren. She left another daughter, Nadia, and two grandchildren, the youngest of whom is the same age as Nastya.
Happiness did not depend on the weather
30-year-old Svetlana and 33-year-old Mikhail Krylov were also going to celebrate their wedding anniversary - but after the holidays, on November 27. The couple could hardly afford a trip to Egypt, but Svetlana insisted - she really wanted to show the sea to her 10-year-old daughter Christina.
“Christina was not Svetlana’s native - she is her husband’s daughter from her first marriage,” Victoria Leonova, Krylova’s classmate, told MK in St. Petersburg. - The girl had a difficult childhood, for a long time she lived with one grandmother, then with another, her own mother also took her away, but then Christina ended up in her father's family. Svetlana took care of the child all the time, constantly came up with entertainment for her, took her everywhere, was engaged in her development ... They exchanged an apartment with great difficulty to pick up Christina. The first room to be renovated was for my daughter - a fabulous nursery beautiful castle on the wall. Sveta thought out the interior herself.
Svetlana worked as a lawyer, and on weekends she and Mikhail went to school with a family psychologist in order to better understand how to raise a child and communicate with him. When her friends admired the “selflessness” of Svetlana, who, having no children of her own, took on an essentially someone else’s girl, she just shrugged her shoulders: “I love her father, how can I not love his daughter ?!”
The Krylov family loved to go to the dacha, to get out into the forest with tents, even if the weather was not very favorable. “Happiness does not depend on the weather. It is inside us, ”Svetlana wrote in her status on the social network.
"Don't be afraid, I never get into an accident"
27-year-old Anna Tishinskaya was one of those bright beauties from whom it is difficult to look away. She lived brightly, “hurried to live,” as her friends recall. Anya worked for many years in the St. Petersburg Jewish organization "Hillel", then she opened her own creative agency "Sea" to organize events and holidays. She loved to take pictures, traveled all over the world, looking for herself and her path in life. Friends said about her: when Anya grows up, she will definitely do something big and good.
“Once we worked with Anya together in India,” says her friend Alexandra Davydova. - And somehow she drove me on her decrepit scooter with conditional brakes and fearlessly flew out towards the truck. She cheerfully shouted over her shoulder to me, ready to jump: "Don't be afraid, I never get into an accident."
“You were just at my birthday party,” Ani’s close friend Irina Bezman wrote on her page. You were supposed to come on October 31st and tell me about your cool vacation. You joked so merrily that you were flying with “Kyrgyz” airlines ... "
“She lived all the time in the future,” recalls her friend Igor Berinsky. - I did not understand at all why she was in such a hurry to live, did not keep up with her, could not withstand this frantic energy. “Drama circle, photo circle, chorus circle - I want to sing ...” - I teased her when I saw her out of breath, with a camera over her shoulder, running towards me from the choir rehearsal. Anya was not at all offended, on the contrary, she seemed to feel sorry for me for my life, which was so boring compared to hers. Anya in recent years has been actively engaged in yoga, meditated, stopped eating meat products, and went to bed early.
“She was a very good person, in some ways even naive, very self-sufficient and found herself,” said Irina Bezman. - After a long search, she found her favorite thing, organized events, she really liked it. Of course, she wanted a family, like all girls ...
"Thank you for being..."
They loved to travel. Most often Egypt, sometimes Thailand. So this time, 48-year-old Vladimir and 45-year-old Victoria Golenkov could not wait for the minute when they finally fly to hot Egypt. They took their granddaughter with them - little Diana, who in September was only four years old. At home, in St. Petersburg, Evgenia Sadovskaya remained - the mother of Diana, the daughter of Vladimir and Victoria. On October 31, she lost all her closest people at once ...
“Their whole life revolved around Diana,” says Alexander Mikhailov, a classmate of Vladimir Golenkov. - Volodya and Vika loved to go on vacation with their granddaughter, they constantly took her to the dacha. Souls doted on her, they were practically second parents ...
On the pages of Vladimir and Victoria on Vkontakte, almost all the photos are with their granddaughter. A smiling dark-haired girl either laughs against the backdrop of the sea, or tries to blow out the candles on the birthday cake. On October 31, after the disaster, Evgenia Sadovskaya posted another photo of her parents and daughter on the Internet. “My beloved, dear ones. Thank you for being you. Eternal memory to you, my daughter, mom and dad…” she wrote.
“The worst thing for me today is to find words of condolence for Zhenya, the daughter of Volodya and Vika,” says Irina Snytko, a close friend of the Golenkovs. - I knew Vika from childhood, we are neighbors in the country, the same age. We spent the summer months together: we swam, played, rode bicycles, our grandmothers were also friends. Vika's birthday was July 14 - Bastille Day. Therefore, they called her Victoria - Victory ... She was very beautiful, it always seemed to me that she looked like an Italian: bright, swarthy, spectacular. At the same time, her character and temperament were also southern - open, easy to communicate, always cheerful and with a smile. I met Volodya when he and Vika became a family. We immediately became friends with him. They were a wonderful couple, I never heard them swear and shout at each other... These people remained wonderful in my memory: kind and sympathetic, very cheerful and sociable, they had so many friends... I can't talk more, tears simply stifle ... I wish only one thing: that their daughter finds the strength and courage to survive all this! Love, appreciate your loved ones every moment while they are with you ...
Born and died on the same day
Zhenya Yavsin and Sasha Chernova were born on the same day - March 2, only two years apart. His wife was 21 years old, Sasha - 19. The young man, in addition to his girlfriend, also took his mother, Elizabeth, on a trip. They rested together. There were rumors that on the seashore, Eugene made his beloved a marriage proposal. But a close friend of the guy denies this.
“This is just a beautiful story that the journalists made up,” says Daria Trondina.
However, the lack of engagement does not detract from their relationship. Friends say that Zhenya looked after Sasha very nicely.
- Zhenya dreamed of meeting Sasha for a very long time, woke up and fell asleep with the thought: “How can I be with her?”, Daria Trondina recalls.
In the end, the girl reciprocated. They were a couple for about a year and a half.
- Zhenya and I knew each other for 4.5 years. We met on the first day of classes at the university. Lesgaft, where they studied together. He went into the lecture room and sat down at my desk. Every minute spent with him was accompanied only by a smile and laughter. It was good with him, although they say that there is no friendship between a girl and a guy. But we had a real friendship with him, - says Daria Trondina. “Three months ago I gave birth to a child. Zhenya was one of the first to report this. He kept promising to call in - to visit, but he never had time.
Evgeniy was engaged in table tennis - he played professionally and already worked as a coach at his age. Thanks to this sport, he met with Zhenya. She was also fond of ping-pong.
- I know Zhenya Chernova since childhood, we played together for the team Arkhangelsk region(Zhenya was born and raised in Arkhangelsk and only recently moved to St. Petersburg. - Ed.). A very good little man, kind, well-mannered, I especially liked her calmness in any situation, ”said Alexandra Kuznetsova.
Perhaps Zhenya and Sasha really wanted to get married. But fate decreed otherwise. By the will of fate, lovers were not only born, but also died on the same day, in an instant.
Premonition of danger
The son of the dean of the St. Petersburg School of Economics and Management NRU HSE Valery Gordin Leonid died in a plane crash. He was vacationing in Egypt with his girlfriend, Alexandra Illarionova. In a month, Leonid would have turned 29 years old, Sasha was a year younger than him. They planned to get married in April next year. But they have been together for a long time. Just three weeks ago, they were looking for a cat that had run away in the country. Found. Then a vacation and a trip to Egypt - a warm sea, reefs, rainbow fish.
On October 30, on the eve of the flight home, Alexandra posted a photo together with Leonid - as it turned out, the last one. “I stayed with them in the same hotel. Check out this amazing couple. Very nice and positive. And Sasha had such a funny bang, ”Anna Vasilenko wrote in a group created in memory of Lena and Sasha on VKontakte.
As the girl's friends now recall, she was very afraid of heights. Maybe you had a premonition?

Those who came to the Kuzminsky cemetery to say goodbye to the passenger of the blown up flight Olga Pavlova could no longer cry, for forty days the tears dried up.
A lump came up to the throat only at the sight of Olga's mother. The elderly woman looked very small from the back. Shrugging her shoulders, the mother did not even cry, she screamed with grief. Only the wind carried her cry over the graves.
It's so scary to bury your children, friends whispered and hugged the woman by the shoulders.
Olga Pavlova was 42 years old, in Sharm el-Sheikh, a resident of the Leningrad region rested with a friend. They found her only thanks to the DNA identification procedure.
And now there are orphaned relatives left, - the old woman who sells flowers brushes away a tear from the cold. Here she seemed to have seen enough of the mountain, but how can one remain indifferent. - Yesterday, a young family was buried here.
SYMBOL OF TRAGEDY

FIRST PERSON
Elena GROMOVA, Darina's grandmother:
To son
“When you were little, one day for some reason you asked me: “Mommy, is it difficult to raise children?” I don’t know then where you got this question from. .
And you knew that I loved you immensely! And now that love has been taken away from me! But I still continue to love you very much! And no one will dare to tear this feeling out of my motherly heart!”
To the granddaughter
"My angel! We have been waiting for your appearance on this Earth for so long. We were extremely happy that we had you. You grew up, we rejoiced at all your achievements and successes, you pleased us with your mischievous laugh and wonderful grimaces. Do not fly away from us, because the angels are always there, we need you very, very much. We love you immensely, be always with us.
