Reports say she died when she “lost control” of her red 2015 BMW S1000RR and collided with a truck near Milas, halfway between the provincial capital of Mugla and the popular resort of Bodrum.
A Turkish motorcyclist who accompanied her, Onur Obut, survived but suffered serious injuries and is hospitalized.
A third motorcyclist was unharmed.
Known as MotoTanya, she died at the scene of the accident, before paramedics arrived.
At 38 years old, Ozolina was considered the “most beautiful biker” in Russia and had a huge following.
But he was recently refused entry to the European Union, on the border with Greece, for a summer trip, amid restrictions imposed on Russians because of Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine.
She posted: “I was upset that I couldn’t ride in Europe, but not too much because I knew it could happen.
“So I continue to conquer beautiful, warm and hospitable Türkiye.”
Paying tribute, Andrei Ivanov, head of the MotoMoscow Association, said: “MotoTanya is no longer with us… she had a beautiful and brilliant life…
“Millions of people followed her.
“Perhaps there is not a single motorcyclist in the country who would have been indifferent to Tatyana.
“She was adored, envied, admired, copied, awarded as top blogger and, at the same time, discussed and slandered.
“Now only her memory remains. Sleep well.”
The newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda said: “Tanya was one of the biggest bloggers in the motorcycle industry.
“She told subscribers about her adventures and passion for speed.”
She had a son, according to reports.
Russian reports claimed that the fatal accident in which the country’s “most beautiful motorcyclist” died was caused because her red 2015 BMW S1000RR was run over by a Turkish motorcyclist with whom she was traveling.
She braked in front of a truck, but it didn’t react and crashed into her motorcycle, causing her to lose control and fall into a ditch.
“The Russian woman’s motorcycle was thrown against a knife and she hit her head,” Shot media reported.
Another report said she suffered a neck injury.
“Ozolina was conscious for some time, but died before the ambulance arrived,” BAZA reported.
His family, including his 13-year-old son, are “in a state of shock”.
Ozolina had five million followers on TikTok, two million on YouTube and almost one million on Instagram.
