ALLURED INTO HER TRAP
Sexpot left trail of 'death and poison'
ONE day in early October 2014, a ravenhaired “masseuse” named Viktoriya Nasyrova — a lover of plush furs and diamond jewelry — made a very careless tactical error while driving her rental car through western Russia. Nasyrova neglected to hide the body she’d propped up in the front passenger seat. The ghoulish image of a middle-aged woman’s slumped, buckled-in form would be captured by trafficsurveillance cameras. And so began the glamorous Russian’s brazen, twisty life as an international murder fugitive — a more-thantwo-year flight from justice that took her from Russia to Brooklyn, where she sometimes called herself “Rachel” or “Mara.” These were her dominatrix names. “We mutually satisfied each other’s primal instincts,” Nasyrova purred to The Post recently, speaking in Russian from her latest residence, Rikers Island. “I was giving them what they weren’t getting at home,” the murder suspect dished of her clients, mostly married men in search of S&M humiliation. “You know what I’m talking about. Men who want to be women, but they can’t openly declare it.”
But like a Russian nesting doll of crime, Nasyrova, 41, is now suspected of an ever-expanding list of felonies.
These include the mysterious disappearance of the two owners of an apartment in Russia earlier in 2014 — an apartment she then allegedly sold.
Later, from her new home base in Sheepshead Bay, Nasyrova allegedly drugged and fleeced two men she met via online dating sites. She may be indicted as early as Friday on charges of pawning the men’s cash and jewelry.
Police are also investigating allegations that Nasyrova befriended a woman who looked just like her and then — in hopes of assuming her identity — served her a poisoned cheesecake.
That plot failed when the victim, Olga Tsvyk, 36, of Rego Park, Queens, survived, lawenforcement sources and the victim herself alleged to The Post.
Just a misunderstanding, Nasyrova told The Post of the cheesecake incident. “The last time I saw Olga, she was already not feeling good — she said she either ate something or got food poisoning,” Nasyrova insists.
The traffic-surveillance photo was a frame-up by Russian cops, she claims.
And as for a second alleged poisoning plot — this one successful and resulting in the death last summer of her boyfriend’s pet beagle — Nasyrova shrugged.
The dog, too, hadn’t been feeling well, poor thing.
“It was sick,” she told The Post. “It had an epileptic episode and then died the next day.”
THE body in the rental car belonged in life to Alla Alekseenko, Nasyrova’s kindly, 54year-old neighbor in Krasnodar, a large city in western Russia.
Alekseenko had just sold her mother’s home, pocketing 3 million rubles — about $53,000.
Interpol believes that Nasyrova spent months befriending Alekseenko before killing her for that money plus some $17,000 in cash and jewelry stolen from the apartment.
Alekseenko’s charred, incomplete skeleton would be unearthed in a village next to Nasyrova’s Russian hometown.
“They gave me two small boxes and said, “It’s your Mommy,” daughter Nadezda Ford, of Brooklyn, recalled to The Post.
Ford had immediately suspected Nasyrova, who’d also befriended her the year before, even traveling to New York for a visit.
“I hugged Nasyrova tightly and asked where is my mom,” Ford recounted in a November 2015 affidavit of confronting the alleged murderess on her mother’s doorstep.
“She tried to break out of my hug, pushing me away, and started screaming, ‘She is alive! Get away from me!’ ”
But even after the traffic-surveillance cameras caught Nasyrova driving alongside her limp passenger, there was no arrest.
Russian authorities later admitted to Ford that Nasyrova had seduced one of the lead police officers, who stalled the investigation and was later fired.
Meanwhile, Nasyrova, who allegedly kept multiple passports, slipped out of Russia, triggering Interpol to issue a top-priority Red Notice for her arrest in Alekseenko’s murder.
True to nervy form, the murder fugitive moved right into Ford’s neighborhood — Sheepshead Bay.
Nasyrova was hiding in plain sight of her alleged victim’s daughter, even flaunting photos of her fur-bedecked self on Facebook.
“She’s a psychopath and a killer,” Ford told The Post on Thursday.
“She’s extremely manipulative and very dangerous.
“You’d never think she’s a person who could seduce you, who could drug you, who can steal from you and furthermore kill you.”
Thanks to the daughter’s repeated pleas to immigration officials — and her family’s hiring of a private investigator, retired NYPD Detective Herman Weisberg — Nasyrova was finally arrested last month and charged with swindling two men she had met online.
‘WE chatted a little. sent a few texts,” one of her alleged victims, Ruben Borukhov, 48, of Queens, recalls of meeting Nasyrova last July on an online “dating” site. “Then I came over for dinner.” He hoped they would have sex, he told The Post. Still, Nasyrova — who called herself “Anna” — seemed more interested in his eating the fried fish she’d made him. “She was very adamant that we eat immediately,” he remembered. “She said, ‘We need to eat now — the fish is getting cold.’ ”
“I took a few bites, and that is all I remember.”
When Borukhov came to, he found himself out $500 in cash, an $800 watch and $2,000 in credit-card expenses.
“She really wasn’t my type,” he noted.
‘IT happened on Aug. 28, 2016,” recalls Tsvyk, who applies eyelash extensions for a living and who had the bad luck of resembling Nasyrova — and of liking cheesecake.
“She came to my house, saying she needs emergency lash repair,” Tsvyk told The Post.
“It was plain cheesecake,” she said of Nasyrova’s “gift.”
“It tasted like a regular cheesecake, nothing out of the ordinary.”
Immediately she felt nauseated. The last thing she remembers was throwing up and Nasy- rova telling her, “Don’t worry. I’ll clean it up.”
Tsvyk’s elderly landlord found her two days later.
“I was lying in bed in lacy lingerie,” Tsvyk was later told. “She had changed my clothes — and there were pills strewn all over the place.
“The heat in the room was turned on all the way up — it was like a sauna, the landlord later told me.”
Doctors said she had been maybe 40 minutes away from suffering a heart attack.
“They found my documents and my gold ring in her apartment,” Tsvyk told The Post of Nasyrova. “She planned it. She was looking for someone like me, alone in the country, nobody would look for me.
“I know she is in jail, but I get chills every time I think that she tried to kill me, that she almost killed me.
“I never did anything to her. She is a sadist. She likes to see people suffer.”
