A former Russian dominatrix was sentenced to 21 years in prison after her twisted attempt to poison her doppelgänger with laced cheesecake and steal her identity.
Viktoria Nasyrova, 45, yelled “F*** you” at the Queens Supreme Court judge who on Wednesday sentenced her to more than two decades in prison.
Nasyrova was found guilty of attempted murder, attempted assault and unlawful imprisonment in February following her bizarre August 2016 plan to poison eyelash specialist Olga Tsvyk with a phenazepam-infused dessert and hold her near death as a suicide.
Tsvyk, who survived the attack at her queen’s house, spoke in court before sentencing about her broken trust in Nasyrova. In heartbreaking testimony, Tsvyk told jurors it was “easy for her to kill.”
The victim was reportedly one of many on Nasyrova’s list dating back to 2014 when she fled Russia following the murder of her neighbor and allegations of drugging and robbing men she found on dating websites.

Nasyrova stood casually dressed in the courtroom with pants, a t-shirt, a side braid and a face mask as the judge read her verdict. She received a four-year discount off her maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
Behind her stood Tsvyk in a stylish red leather bomber jacket and black jeans. Tsvyk spoke about her second chance at life at the hearing.
“God gave me life when Viktoria Nasyrova tried to end my life,” Tsvyk said. “It was easy for her to take someone else’s life.
“It was easy to gain someone else’s trust and then take everything from that person… it was easy for her to steal.
It was easy for her to kill.’
Tsyvk, an eyelash stylist, met Nasyrova six months before she was poisoned in 2016, the victim sharing in court in February.
The two became friends and Tsyvk shared with the former dominatrix how she got her work permit at the time.
On the day she was attacked in 2016, Nasyrova had arrived at her home in Forest Hills, Queens, in urgent need of her services. In return, Nasyrova insisted she bring the stylist cheesecake she bought from a local bakery.
After arriving at her home, Nasyrova ate two slices of cheesecake and offered a third slice, which prosecutors said was laced with the Russian tranquilizer Phenazepan, Tsvyk said.
Tsvyk told the court that she started feeling sick about 20 minutes after eating the cake and started vomiting when she got into her bed.
Prosecutors alleged that Nasyrova then stole Tsvyk’s passport, cash, U.
S. work permit card and other belongings and attempted to make the incident look like suicide by scattering pills around the victim’s body.
Tsvk was found by her sister, Iryna Kozachenko, who called the police.
The victim told the judge and jurors on Wednesday that she lived in fear for months after surviving the attack, especially since it took months to capture the former dominatrix.

Nasyrova, who was in love with expensive fur coats and diamonds, was finally captured in 2017 after being tracked down by the daughter of the woman she allegedly killed in Russia.
The former dominatrix fled to the US in 2014 after the brutal murder of her neighbor Alla Alekseenko, 54.
Alekseenko’s remains were found burned and buried two miles from her home in Krasnodar, southern Russia.
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed footage of the victim’s body in the front seat of Nasyrova’s car through traffic cameras in 2017, with investigators at the time saying that money was the motive behind the heartless murder.
It has been reported that she could flee Russia by having sex with a local police officer. Interpol then issued a red notice for her arrest for murder.

Stories also emerged of Nasyrova of fleeing the law after the murder of a woman in Russia in 2014, under allegations of assaulting men on dating websites, drugging them and robbing them.
Nasyrova fled to America and started a new life as a masseuse with “experience in luxury spas and beauty salons,” according to an ad for “quality home massage” she placed shortly after arriving in the Big Apple.
But her sordid past would come back to haunt her, when Alekseenko’s horrified daughter learned that the wanted Russian beauty now lived just miles away in Brooklyn.
Alekseenko’s daughter then paid a private investigator in New York to investigate Nasyrova and bring her to justice.
The detective was able to track down Nasyrova and arrest her.
At the time, Nasyrova was also wanted by the NYPD on suspicion of drugging and robbing at least three men she met through a New York dating website.
Victim Ruben Borukhov, 54, testified in court that he was drugged by the scammer while on a date with her. He woke up to find charges of up to $2,600 on his credit card and his watch was gone.
NYPD lead detectives Bob Boyce said, “She’s started a life of crime here.”
