Julia Lemigova became one of those girls whose fate was initially envied by almost all the women of the Soviet Union. She gained world fame thanks to her scandalous personal life and novels, which sometimes ended with the strange deaths of Julin's men. In France, this woman was even called the "Black Widow."
But few people know that her life was not as fun as it might seem at first glance. Despite a successful career, millionaire lovers and a seemingly carefree life in Paris, Julia Lemigova faced many problems and sorrows.
Family and youth Lemigova
The future last miss of the USSR was born in 1972 in a military family. Her father was an engineer and received the rank of colonel of the Soviet army. The blood of aristocrats flows in the veins of this woman, which her family is very proud of. Julia Lemigova is the 14th generation Marquise de la Turner. Her grandfather was a hereditary French nobleman who accidentally ended up in Russia and refused to return to his homeland.
Fatal acquaintance with Alexander Stefanovich
This girl from her youth did not suffer from excessive modesty and, besides undeniable external beauty, possessed a certain resourcefulness. Familiar Julia says that, as a student of the school, she always gained a few years of age. She did this in order not to scare away older fans who always paid attention to her.
This habit of impersonating an older lady helped her to get acquainted with Alexander Stefanovich, who was notorious at one time. This man in Soviet Moscow had considerable connections in the field of show business. It was with his assistance that Julia Lemigova was accepted into one of the first Moscow modeling agencies under the name Idols.
Since Stefanovich was in a very warm and close relationship with the young model, he tested her participation in various beauty contests. In 1989, with his assistance, Julia became a finalist of the Moscow Beauty contest. A year later, she receives the title of vice-miss of the USSR. Since the main winner of this competition violated the terms of the contract, the title was transferred to Lemigova. She went down in history as the last "Miss USSR".
A year later, she goes to America. In Las Vegas, she takes part in the Miss Universe contest and unexpectedly enters the top three beauties. Lemigova Julia Andreevna receives the status of the second vice-miss. After recognition in a global beauty contest, she moved to live in Paris. Stefanovich who helped her all this time was forced to return to Russia, after which their close relations ceased. Lemigova begins a series of scandalous novels.
The first death of a beloved man
Under President Boris Yeltsin, for some time the National Sports Fund was headed by Boris Fedorov, who became Stefanovich’s next lover, Julia. Once a couple in love flew from Paris to Moscow, and they spent one of the evenings separately, each with its own campaign. It was then that the tragedy occurred - Fedorov was shot dead. A stranger also fell under the bullet, who just appeared next to him at that moment. By chance, Julia remained alive.
The next novel of the Russian model ended with a resonant murder, which attracted the attention of Lemigova not only in France, but throughout Europe.
History of communication with the French millionaire
In 1997, she started a love relationship with the heir to the most famous banking surname in France, Edouard Stern. He was a very successful financier, was the best friend of Nicolas Sarkozy and was in the TOP 50 of the richest people in France.
At the time of meeting Lemigova, Stern was officially married. After Julia informed him of her pregnancy, he left his wife and went to his mistress.
The tragic death of a son
The couple had a son who died under unclear circumstances to this day. Maximilian was only 5 months old when he was discovered dead. The investigation found that the cause of death of the baby were internal injuries resulting from prolonged shaking. There was a version that a towel was placed on the child’s head, and then a strong blow was inflicted, which caused hemorrhage in the children's brain.
Julia was under suspicion of the murder of her own son and spent 89 days in a Paris prison. Since at the time of the tragedy, Yulia Lemigova was absent from the house, and there was no significant evidence of her guilt, on the 90th day of her detention she was forced to be released. This terrible story has not received any denouement. In 2002, due to the absence of any facts that shed light on this cold-blooded murder of a child, the case was closed.
After the tragedy, Lemigova and Stern stopped seeing each other, and their destinies parted. In 2005, Eduard Stern was shot dead during a sexual orgy, and Lemigova again came under suspicion. All charges were dropped from her only after another lover, Stern, who confessed to the crime, was detained.
Martina Navratilova - Julia's new love
For a while, they forgot about Lemigova. But since 2000, her surname is again often found in the world secular chronicle. The reason for this was the loud romance of the last miss of the USSR with a famous athlete, who also can not boast of an ideal reputation. Martina Navratilova (born in 1956) became the new Yulina of her lover. She is a Czechoslovak tennis player with a worldwide reputation, the owner of multimillion-dollar capital.
She never denied being gay and was known for long lesbian novels and their subsequent high-profile breaks. Martina is 16 years older than Julia and openly demonstrates her affection for her new lover. This strange at first glance, the couple began to appear together at public events. The press periodically appeared notes that Martina Navratilova and Julia Lemigova broke up. No one predicted a happy ending to these relations, since on the part of Julia everyone saw only selfish motives.
Evil tongues said that Lemigova became too old for Russian millionaires, and French men fear her reputation as a “black widow”. Since by the beginning of 2000, despite the network of spas and even her own production line of cosmetics, the woman’s financial situation was not very stable, she decided to take advantage of the interest shown to her by the lesbian tennis player, who had accumulated during her successful and long sports career many millions.
