Colleagues of the doctor involved in the attack on the REN TV group told about her procedures

Cosmetologist Natalia Biletskaya, who was the reason for the attack on the journalists of the REN TV channel, allegedly offered her patients "injections of youth" without publishing information about her medical education. On May 15, her colleagues and victims shared details about their interaction with the attacker.

"A client came from Spain, she is my regular client. It was the first time she came sad, and I asked her what had happened. It turned out that her labia had been cut. As a result, it turned out that she had a labiaplasty. This is a labia correction, which is performed by a plastic surgeon according to indications, and not somewhere in a rented office in an apartment," said one of Biletskaya's colleagues.

The specialist added that another of her visitors was faced with amputation of a part of her buttocks after visiting the Biletskaya clinic. The woman had special fillers injected into this part of her body, as a result of which she later began to develop necrosis.

Biletskaya actively conducted social networks, where she was known by the nickname "Dr. Lebedeva." There she posted content from her "operations" and gave advice to subscribers. Eventually, the cosmetologist's audience grew so much that it allowed her to establish a network of her own small clinics not only in Moscow, but also abroad.

The offices where the operations were carried out, according to those who visited them, were converted apartments. Accordingly, receptions were held directly in residential buildings.

Friends of the "cosmetologist" told Izvestia that she was originally a tattoo artist. Biletskaya received her clients at home, where she brought them body drawings. Later, she decided to move into a more lucrative field and began to enlarge her lips and correct her posture. After a while, she ventured into real surgical operations — she began to enlarge her breasts, genitals, and also prescribed anti-aging ivs to patients.

Many of her victims were afraid to talk about the negative consequences they had to face after interacting with "Dr. Lebedeva," as her common-law spouse began to threaten them. However, one of the victims, Oksana Tikhomirova, told Izvestia about her experience. The girl intended to remove the wrinkles on her face, which blinded her in one eye.

"After the first injection, I lost 100% of my vision in my left eye. I did not sign any medical document. The district police officer told me that most likely they (Biletskaya clinics. — Ed.) there is no license," she said.

Biletskaya's lover, in turn, during a conflict with journalists, also admitted that he did not know what kind of education she had.

The attack on the crew of the 112 program of the REN TV channel was committed a day earlier. The journalists came to the alleged clinic after one of its visitors became blind after an interbrow injection. When the targets of the media representatives were revealed, they were met by an unknown man who used physical force against the correspondent.

On the same day, a criminal case was opened in the press service of the Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in the capital in accordance with Part 3 of Article 144 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Obstruction of the legitimate professional activities of journalists"). Subsequently, he was taken over by the chairman of this department, Alexander Bastrykin. The defendants were charged on May 15. The investigation intends to apply for their arrest.
