Russian biker influencer "MotoTanya" dies in Turkey accident

Tatiana Ozolina, a blogger famed in her homeland as the "most beautiful motorcyclist in Russia", has passed away. This was reported by the "Shot" channel on Telegram. She tragically died in an accident in Turkey. Her son survives her.

Tatiana Ozolina, known as "MotoTanya," was a famous blogger. On TikTok, she had 5 million followers, on YouTube, 2 million, and on Instagram, nearly a million. She shared pictures of her travels on two wheels online. However, fate decreed that the woman, described as the "most beautiful motorcyclist in Russia," would never ride a two-wheeler again.

According to the "Shot" channel on Telegram, Tatiana Ozolina died on Monday, 22nd July, in an accident in Turkey. The incident occurred on a stretch of motorway between Milas and Teke in the south-western part of the country.

According to information provided on Telegram, the blogger was travelling with two colleagues from Turkey. At some point, the Russian lost control of her vehicle and collided with a lorry. She could not be saved and passed away before the ambulance arrived at the scene. Unofficial sources report that one of the two other participants in the ride also suffered injuries.

Representatives of the Moscow motorcycle community confirmed the information about Tatiana's death. "It was a bright and beautiful life, interesting. Millions of people followed her. Probably no single motorcyclist in the country was indifferent to MotoTanya. (...) Now, only the memory remains. Sleep well," the statement read.

The 38-year-old was planning to ride a motorcycle through Western Europe. That was her initial plan. According to the bignewsnetwork.com website, Ozolina was turned back at the Greek border. She was not allowed to enter due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the international sanctions imposed on Russia.

I was upset that I couldn't ride in Europe, but not too much, because I knew such a situation could happen. So, I'm moving on to experience beautiful, warm, and hospitable Turkey, she wrote.

Her son survives Ozolina. It is worth noting that in 2018, Olga Petrova considered the sexiest motorcyclist in the capital of Russia, died in an accident in Moscow. She collided with a personal Volvo. The accident occurred on the last day of the motorcycle season in Russia.
