Soup after cheesecake failed

-

She vaguely recalled seeing Nasyrova rummaging around in her belongings. And a test of the leftover cheesecake showed the dessert was laced with drugs.

Nasyrova was indicted this week and jailed without bail pending a May 25 court date.

“She was my client, she was never my friend,” Tsvyk said of their relationsh­ip. “Never.”

The Ukrainian woman realized her doppelgang­er targeted her long before allegedly trying to take her life and life savings, visiting the Queens salon for the previous six months.

“She came all the way (from Brooklyn),” said Tsvyk. “I thought it was stupid: ‘Why do you come from so far away?’”

But Nasyrova had a ready answer: She worked as a masseuse and visited her own clients after getting her eyelashes done.

The Russian woman fled to New York four years ago after dodging a murder rap in the death of Alla Aleksenko, 54, whose burned body was uncovered in a grave in western Russia.

Her escape was reportedly aided by her seduction of the chief homicide detective.

The slain Russian woman’s daughter, Nadia Ford, said her mother was killed using the same cheesecake charade.

City cops also charge that Nasyrova financed a lavish lifestyle after landing in Sheepshead Bay by drugging and robbing elderly men lured into her orbit.

The whole incredible tale still leaves Tsvyk woozy, although she’s hopeful for a resolution as the case drags through its second year.

“I’m not God and I’m not a judge,” Tsvyk told The News. “But she deserves to be in jail. Thank God she can’t hurt anybody else.”
