Diana entered one of the most reputable educational institutions in Switzerland - the University of St. Gallen and, according to rumors, successfully studied there. Spending most of her life abroad, when she arrived home, she spent time at social events, in expensive restaurants La Maree, Bistrot and Mario, where she enjoyed singing karaoke, shopping and other concerns about her appearance.

The young man has spent the last nine years in Switzerland: first at the TASIS private school, then at college. According to friends, there was no special closeness between Diana and Azer - only friendship.

There were no specific reports to the press about how the accident occurred: there were no witnesses. According to Swiss journalists, young people raced on this section of the highway, as Russian students often do. A similar incident already ended in tragedy in 2009, when Russian student Babaev knocked a German pensioner off the road with a Volkswagen. However, according to the assurances of friends and relatives of Diana and Azer, they were prudent enough for such “pranks” and the cause of the accident was bad weather. The young man’s father, former federal representative of Azerbaijan Airlines CJSC in Moscow, Mahir Yagubov, said that his son did not drink alcohol and called him the day before the crash.

The Swiss claim that they have excellent roads and there are no accidents in this area. In any case, it is quite difficult for the Russian public to find out why Diana Lebedeva died. Even her funeral was arranged in such a way that only 100 invited people were allowed to attend and no one was allowed to take photographs. Diana’s memory will be numerous condolences on the Internet and memories of friends about what a beautiful, kind and bright girl she was, and her page on the social network with the pseudonym “Ladydd11”.
