Russia Still The Real ‘Wild West’

Anna Loginova with the Porsche Cheyenne she died trying to protect from theft

Anna Loginova ran an agency for female bodyguards, some trained by the ex-KGB, to give discreet protection to Moscow’s high-profile billionaires, their wives, and even mistresses. She trumpeted claims such as the fact that her female guards would be allowed into posh restaurants and clubs, while traditional male bodyguards were made to wait outside. She protected people in addition to their valuables.

Anna is now dead.

She was guarding a Porsche Cayenne when she was carjacked. Not wanting to give in to the thief, she clinged to the door handle of the Cayyenne and was dragged along the street at high speed as the car screeched away. She died from head injuries at the scene.

Last year, 50 Porsches were stolen in Moscow, including 12 within the last two months. Only three were ever found.
