ShareOn July 28, a Fontanka correspondent visited the courtyard of the house where the townswoman lives and talked with locals who told regarding the frequent visits of the police, the woman’s family drama and the driving style recognizable in the district.
It did not take long to look for those who can tell regarding it in colors. After recent events, even those who do not know her personally started talking regarding Elena. Aleksey (not his real name), who works near her home, saw her driving around the playground a couple of days before her arrest. But the list of oddities, he says, is not limited to just that.
“Just the other day she staged a rally here. Personally, I did not meet her, but I heard her shouting something loudly from her loggia. She does this periodically. The last time this happened was a month and a half ago, ”the man recalled.
Similar shows are sometimes seen by her neighbor Anna. She said that during the last “performance”, she allegedly talked to herself, for some reason turned to Putin and sharply slammed the window sashes, striking the audience with the strength of the glass. From the balcony, which stands out from the spray-painted frame of one of the windows, swear words sometimes fly. From time to time, the threat turns out to be more material: bottles, books and other unexpected objects fall from above. The employees of the restaurant on the lower floor remembered well the moment when an ironing board suddenly landed at the threshold of the establishment.
“The guest was sitting at that table over there,” the waitress points to a place by the window, “and heard something heavy fall. He got scared, looks – and there is an ironing board. The most interesting thing is that people continue to go there. Every time I warn them to bypass, because next time they can easily kill, ”shared Yulia. At the nearest manicure studio, the police were even recently called because of the eccentric behavior of a resident.
People in uniform are generally not uncommon guests here. Anna, Elena’s upstairs neighbor, has already made three calls to the police. As a rule, in the apartment on the floor below, music plays loudly from night to morning, and the last time, according to her recollections, it was like a basketball bouncing on the walls and ceiling. Once, a fetid pile of garbage was left in front of the door – according to Anna, this is nothing more than revenge for contacting the authorities.
“All the times the police simply called the intercom, then came to us and offered to write a statement. As it turned out, they had no right to go to her house. When they went out, she looked out and yelled nasty things at them from above. Something from the category: “Come here, I’ll tell one uncle regarding you now, and you will get it from me,” the girl shared.
Eccentricities for a neighbor began to be noticed by some from early spring. Others say that it all started much earlier, and see the reason in family troubles.
“She lives alone, an elderly mother comes to her regarding once a month, maybe more often. The previous time she didn’t let her mother into the house. She stood and asked to open. Then she left. Her screams can sometimes be heard in the apartment. She doesn’t seem to have any animals. I have never seen her take her dog for a walk,” said neighbor Nadezhda (not her real name).
What, besides driving a Renault and throwing objects from a balcony, Elena does, none of the interlocutors might say for sure. Judging by the pages on social networks, she has a showroom – the online gallery flaunts models in lingerie, tracksuits and office suits. Judging by the reviews, not everyone orders clothes for the second time.
“Two days ago, my wife bought it, the seam on the right opened up. Gorgeous quality, beware, ”a user wrote a day ago under a photo with a turquoise dress.
In the same account, manicure offers are published at an attractive price for the market. On Avito, the services of a master registered by a woman’s phone number are also assessed unflatteringly.
“Do not go! Spent six hours. The tools are not disposable, the master is a novice. Job done poorly. In training centers, they do it better, at least the master controls it, ”they wrote on the announcement page in December last year.
Judging by the personal page on the social network, Elena uses her passport very often. In the pictures, she shows herself once morest the backdrop of palm trees, the sea and unusual buildings with Arabic script on the facades. According to the classics, photos of cocktails and enviable morning breakfasts flash in the feed, and Cuba, Mexico, Vietnam, Italy and other country names appear in hashtags.
According to Fontanka, the woman has relatives abroad; until her recent arrest, she repeatedly traveled outside the city. This, among other things, was the reason why the court decided to detain her until September 25.
Many things hinted at the fact that once St. Petersburg would hear regarding Elena. Before the autolady decided to hit the policeman, she was brought to administrative responsibility for a year because of violations “encroaching on public order and public safety.”
In addition, in September 2021, Solodova had difficulties with parking on Chernyshevsky Square. Passing back, the ill-fated Renault damaged the parked KIA. She did not wait for the driver and report the incident to the traffic police. Leaving a note with a phone number, she left, for which she received a protocol under the second part of Article 12.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (“Failure to fulfill obligations in connection with a traffic accident”). The witness added that the lady left the phone number only following he reminded her of the driver’s courtesy. Nevertheless, at the end of November of the same year, the court considered the violation insignificant and limited itself to an oral reprimand.
As an omen, one can also consider the entry that Elena published on her VKontakte page in July 2022 with a quote from the book. “A hooligan is a woman who managed to bring some man to white heat by the fact that she behaved differently from what was expected of her.” One can only guess whether this thought was accidental.
Also on her page posted a memo on communication with traffic police officers. There is not a word regarding the fact that they need to be crushed.
