New York dominatrix Victoria Nasyrova’s victim looked like a ‘vegetable’ after eating poisonous cheesecake: sister

An eyelash stylist allegedly fed a piece of poisoned cheesecake by a Russian mistress “looked like a vegetable” and could barely move her eyes when her sister found her, the sister testified in a Queens court on Wednesday.

Speaking to a Russian translator, Irina Kozachenko, 35, said her sister Olga Tsvik nearly passed out in her Forest Hills home, with dozens of pills lying on the floor of her second-floor bedroom.

“She was very sick and she just looked at me, she looked like a vegetable,” Kozachenko told jurors. “She is very tired. She could hardly move her eyes. Looks like she was asleep.”

My sister tried to communicate with her, but she couldn’t really move, Kozachenko testified.

“I also noticed pills near the bed, under the bed and near the chest,” she said. “They were white, round. I collected and installed them. [them] to the side. It was either in a bag, or in a napkin, something else. I put it aside.”

Prosecutors accused Victoria Nasyrova, a 47-year-old Russian-born dominatrix, of poisoning her doppelgänger in an attempt to steal her identity.

Tsvyk previously testified that Nasyrova came to her home in August 2016, posing as desperate for eyelash tint, and then fed her a piece of cheesecake that prosecutors claimed was laced with the potent Russian tranquilizer Phenazepane.

Zwick also told the court that she felt unwell about 20 minutes after she ate the dessert. As a result, she vomited, and she lost consciousness.

Authorities allege that Nasyrova stole Zwick’s passport and thousands of dollars in cash and then tried to set her up by throwing pills around her body in her underwear to make it look like a suicide attempt.

The alleged victim’s sister supported the allegations on Wednesday, telling the court that her sister’s Ukrainian passport and US ID were missing from their usual hiding place when she arrived.

Kozachenko said she flew to New York from Ukraine as soon as she learned her sister was not feeling well and arrived two days later to find her in critical condition.

She brought Zvyk to the hospital. But her sister continued to resist after she was released the next day – Kozachenko said she fed Tsvyk and had to hold her so she could go to the bathroom.

“I fed her, and sometimes I could see how she would lose consciousness and kind of fall on her side,” Kozachenko said, gasping for breath. “So I tried to be with her all the time to keep her from falling.”

Nasyrova, who is also wanted in Russia for allegedly drugging and killing her neighbor, denied being poisoned in a 2017 prison interview with The Post, calling the ordeal a mere misunderstanding.

“The last time I saw Olga, she was already unwell – she said that she either ate something or got poisoned,” Nasyrova said then.

On Wednesday, the daughter of a Russian woman accused of murder in 2014, Nasyrova, also spoke out, telling jurors she ran into the mistress during a police investigation following her mother’s gruesome death.

Nadezhda Ford said that she flew to Russia when her mother Alla Alekseenko, who suddenly fell ill with something like a cold, stopped answering her calls and messages.

On October 5, 2014, Ford said she called her mom “millions of times”.

“I texted, I Skyped, I called directly,” Ford said. “I tried in any way to contact her. There was no success.”

She then called Nasyrova, whom her mom once called her “good neighbor” and with whom Ford played tour guide on The Big Apple in 2013. Nasyrova said she had seen Alekseenko the day before, Ford testified.

Ford quit her job and left for Russia, where she eventually learned that her mother had died and her house had been robbed.

“Everything – family gold, bags – everything is gone, [from] perfume [to] toothbrush, toothpaste, money, her credit cards, her wallet, her passport, everything,” Ford told the court. “He was completely wiped clean.”

Ford and her brother contacted the police, who staged the attack. The plan was simple: plainclothes cops would sit and watch from an unmarked car while Ford confronted Nasyrova at her home.

Ford came up and hugged Nasyrova – tightly and not in a friendly way. She asked a question, something along the lines of “Did you kill my mother?”

“When I asked her this question and squeezed her tightly, she may have started to choke a little, pushed me away and ran upstairs to her apartment,” Ford testified.

The police chased her upstairs, where Nasyrova was arrested, interrogated and released. Ford stayed in Russia for another six months. After returning to America, she again and again tried to contact Nasyrova.

Ford said she received only one response: “I told the police everything.”

She broke down and cried after she left the witness stand.

The prosecution also plans to call as a key witness a Queens resident who claims Nasyrova drugged him after they met on a Russian dating site in 2016. According to the district attorney, he woke up three days later at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

Nasyrova faces up to 25 years in prison if found guilty of attempted murder, burglary and other charges in the Queens case.
