What if he wanted to get out of the nudie pic business and they faked his death so stalkers wouldn't find him?

Vladik went out at the peak of his life. Lucky to not be involved in the horror show that Ukraine has become.

Alushta, Ukraine. It was a sunny and mild autumn day with a slight breeze. On any other Saturday, it would have been called perfect. Flanked by family, countless friends and even strangers, Vladik Shibanov was laid to rest on October 24. In this small resort town of 30,000 many turned out to say their final farewell to a boy taken from us too suddenly. As Vlad's family wept, one could not help but feel the pain and sorrow. You didn't have to be related or even know Vlad to see the influence this boy had on people. His friends from university stood by Vlad's side stoically fighting back tears, some failing but putting on a brave face as most teens do. His younger sister could barely stand as she watched her idol get lowered into the ground...

Unlike big city life, in this small town you literally grow up together. There are no friends - only family. When you were with Vlad, you felt like his brother, his sister, a member of his family. When you were with Vlad you knew you were with someone great because he made you feel like you were great. Vlad came from a humbled home. Friends and family were Vlad's life. Vlad was an excellent businessman, but would rather spend time with his friends than at work. His friends were rich, taking weekly allowances from their parents. Vlad did not have that safety blanket, nor did he take hand outs from his friends. Vlad's money was earned.

He was beautiful, intelligent, outgoing and free and knew it. Wise way beyond his years, he knew how to take advantage of it. He helped support his family and eventually saved enough to buy a car. He loved his car and went everywhere in it and was proud to show it off. This was not a handout or a gift from his parents. This was a car he bought and earned. And for once, his friends were jealous of him. Vad had a girl friend, as strong and free as he. Like an old married couple, they fought all the time. But like an old married couple, they were soul mates. Vlad knew he could be with no one else. They were to grow old together and make beautiful children Vlad loved to travel. He loved adventures. He loved being a tour guide and showing people around Alushta. But Vlad thought of his friends too much. He would always rush to meet up with them. He loved life and feeling invincible - like most 18-year-olds. Vlad was an adult, with adult responsibilities, but still very much a kid.

On October 20 the world became a little less vibrant. We lost a remarkable young man whose natural smile and personality was infectious. Our pain will be felt for many more days, months and even years to come. But take comfort in knowing that, if you believe in it, somewhere "up there" he's making all those he meets smile and laugh. His body is gone, but his soul lives on.

Weather, speed and tires to blame in Vlad's death More details have emerged surrounding the untimely death of our friend, Vladik Shibanov. In the late hours of October 20, 2009, Vladik and a group of school friends met for a late night get together. Around 10:50pm local time, Vladik and a school friend identified only as a "champion go-cart racer" from Alushta broke away from the group to head home. Vladik, being the generous kid he was, offered a ride to his friend in his new car - a black 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander purchased in September of this year. Vlad loved his new car and was proud to show it off (pictured left). Vlad also loved speed. As the rain poured down, and visibility decreased because of fog, Vlad's speed increased. The vehicle's tires, designed for sparse recreational use only, already worn down from the rough Crimean terrain were to be replaced a week prior. What little tread was left was not enough to keep Vlad on the road at the speed he was travelling. Vlad lost control, hitting a concrete divider. He died instantly. MVD officials say speed, weather and poor tires were the ultimate cause of the accident. Alcohol was not a factor.

In a cruel twist of fate, his friend never lost consciousness during the entire ordeal. As emergency personnel worked for nearly an hour to cut Vlad from the car, his friend not only suffered from physical pain but the pain of seeing Vlad laying beside him. Vlad's friend remains in critical but stable condition suffering from spinal, chest and head injuries. He is expected to pull through. Born into a humbled home, Vladik's circle of friends included the rich and elite of Crimea. But he never accepted handouts from his wealthy friends. Vlad carried his weight, and while his mates got weekly allowances from their parents, Vlad worked to keep up a lifestyle he so adored.

Well, the best thing is to keep Vladik in our mind, like most of us do... never forget real beauty especially in mind... Vladik had both beauties,.... and whenever someone has time and knowledge, make such a website WITHOUT MAKING MONEY OF IT FOR OWN PURPOSE..... R.i.P. Vladik ;-)

Помнить о Владике надо обязательно... Ни о каких личных целях и речи быть не может. А такой сайт очень нужен, время у меня будет, но опыта не достаточно... Пытаюсь найти более опытных единомышленников для этого. Не могу без слез смотреть видео о нем - на видео вот он, замечательный мальчишка, а как представишь, что его больше нет... И еще, очень буду признателен, если поделитесь оригиналами фотографий из этого альбома.

добро пожаловать ... эти 18 фото вот мои любимые кадры Владик. У меня больше, но я продолжаю лелеять, я не на культ личности, а также сладкие Владик был лишь одним из многих специальных людей, которых я знаю, вблизи или издалека, видел своими глазами, или через объектив фотоаппарата. И все изображения, лелеять, пока я сам не являюсь ... Так все делают по-своему. Вы можете просто наслаждаться фотографиями и люди в них, или в дополнение к созданию коллекции, так что вы всегда можете наслаждаться всякий раз, когда, где бы его ... моя страсть поделиться столько, сколько другие пострадали можете получить -;)

you're welcome ... these 18 photos here are my personal fav shots of Vladik. I have much more, but not here to share as there are way2much limitations. And for me Vladik is not a kind of a cult status, also sweet Vladik is just one of many special people I know, up close or from a distance, seen through my own eyes or through a photo lens. I just cherish all these images constantly, they all make me happy... So everyone does this in his own way. You can just enjoy the pictures of all these people and others, or in addition to build up a photo collection, so you can always enjoy whenever, whereever ... its my passion to share as much as others affected can get -;)
