Russian motorcycle sensation Tatiana Ozolina dies in Turkey crash

Tatiana Ozolina, also known as "Mototanya," was a popular blogger. She had 5 million followers on TikTok, 2 million on YouTube, and close to one million on Instagram. She posted photos of her travels on two wheels. However, fate had it that the woman dubbed the "most beautiful motorcyclist in Russia" would never ride a motorcycle again.

According to the "Shot" channel on Telegram, Tatiana Ozolina died on Monday (July 22) in an accident in Turkey, on a section of the highway between Milas and Teke in the southwestern part of the country.

According to information provided on Telegram, the blogger was traveling with two friends from Turkey. She lost control of her vehicle and hit a truck at a certain point. She could not be saved and died before the ambulance arrived. According to unofficial information, one of the two remaining participants in the ride was also injured.

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. There probably isn't a single motorcyclist in the country indifferent to Mototanya. (...) Now, only memory remains. Sleep well," it was written in the statement.

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

I was angry that I couldn't ride in Europe, but not too much because I knew this could happen. So, I'm heading further to experience beautiful, warm, and hospitable Turkey, she wrote.

Ozolina left behind a son. It is worth recalling that in 2018, Olga Petrova, considered the sexiest motorcyclist in the capital of Russia, died in an accident in Moscow. The woman collided with a passenger Volvo. The accident occurred on the last day of the motorcycle season in Russia.
