Sergei Ilyin hockey player from the Southern Urals.

The crash of the An-148 Saratov Airlines Moscow-Orsk plane, which occurred on Sunday, claimed the lives of 65 passengers and six crew members. On board the aircraft was a 22-year-old woman, the lover of the defender of the Primorye hockey club “Admiral” Sergei Ilyin. Now he plays for the Admiral farm club - "South Ural", which is based in Orsk. From Novosibirsk via Moscow, Daria flew to Orsk. They have been dating for several years, and when Sergei played for the main team of Admiral, they lived in Vladivostok.

“Daria Tolmasova, the beloved of our team’s defender Sergei Ilyin, was on board at the time of the tragedy. The Admiral hockey club expresses its condolences to Sergei Ilyin and Daria’s family. We can only guess what a blow this disaster and the loss of a loved one was for you. We mourn your loss. Be strong, Sergei,” the hockey club said in a statement.

The girl's tragic death shocked her family and friends. Relatives still cannot believe that Dasha is no more. Komsomolskaya Pravda talked to those around the deceased, whom everyone remembers with warmth.

“Our Danya is a person with a wonderful soul. She was at the same time a little defenseless angel who sometimes cannot make the right decision, and a girl with an iron core. If she came into someone’s life, she would definitely bring with her a ray of sunshine with her ringing laughter. You won't believe it, but there are almost no people like her left. These people are special, they have something that others don’t have. She adored everything around her, dreamed of a wedding, like any girl, loved her parents very much and always, absolutely always, helped when help was needed. It doesn’t matter what city she was in. I still can’t believe that this beauty is no longer with us! She flew to Orsk to see her future husband, who is also a hockey player, and she almost lived on the planes,” Daria Anfertyeva, a friend of Daria Tolmasova, shared her memories.

Daria and her boyfriend were engaged. They already had a wedding scheduled for June 1st. The girl was very responsible, and a lot was already prepared for the celebration. If it weren’t for that fatal flight Moscow - Orsk...

“It’s hard for me to describe her. She was a beautiful girl who knew her worth and was straightforward. We were not close friends, but we were friends in the same company. Our young people made proposals to us ten days apart, this brought us a little closer, and more topics appeared for discussion. She wanted her wedding with Sergei to be special, she began preparing immediately after the proposal, quickly chose a date and assembled a team. I remember calling her at the end of July 2017 and saying: “Dasha! Dasha! I'm getting married too! Have you already chosen a number?! Tell me it's not June 1st! I want it on the first day of summer too!” And she had already chosen everything: the host, the photographer, the location, and had planned everything in the summer of 2017. Probably all that remains is to choose a dress, and now she can’t even wear this dress... On June 1st we were supposed to go to their celebration, and on the 8th they came to us... I can’t imagine how the groom and family feel. The kingdom of heaven to her, strength to her loved ones, strength to the loved ones of all those who died,” notes Alina Polishchuk with sadness.
