Unbeknown to her, the schoolgirl had been eavesdropping behind a door — and overheard her mum's chilling murder plot.
Svetlana, 46, allegedly told the man she was 'tired' of her daughter's 'bad behaviour' and their 'constant arguments'.
She then sent the girl off with the would-be killer — named as Andrey, 36 — in the Izmailovsky settlement, it has been claimed.
'When they were walking along the road, the schoolgirl was very afraid and worried,' reported Shot news outlet, citing law enforcement.

'But the man told her everything and promised to protect her.
'He hid the girl at his home and went to the police.'
He told cops Svetlana had offered cash to have her daughter drowned in the Bolshaya Karaganka River.

Shock moment Russian teen TikToker threatens to have her Putin official mum send online haters to WAR sparking outrage
The young girl has since been placed in care alongside two of her siblings, aged 17 and six.
Svetlana also has an adult daughter, aged 18.
It comes after a glamorous rapper dubbed the "Barbie Bandit" has been arrested in a dramatic police raid targeting a massive dark web drugs operation.
Blonde beauty Maria L., 25, known for posing in Barbie-pink outfits and flaunting an assault rifle on social media, was seized by Russian cops in St Petersburg on May 15.
The influencer-turned-trafficker is accused of helping run a slick online drugs shop — managing storage, distribution, and sales of illicit substances through the dark web.
Photos online show the rapper in revealing crop tops and doll-like makeup, living a flashy life that masked a far more dangerous double identity.
Police said: 'She helped sell the drugs online and also managed their storage and distribution.'
During the raid, cops uncovered laptops, mobile phones, and a 'significant' stash of chemicals used to make hallucinogens — along with scales and other manufacturing gear.
Meanwhile, a Russian teen TikTok star has sparked outrage after threatening to have her pro-Putin mother send online trolls to the war front.
Yulia Shevtsova, a mayor in the Vologda region, was left red-faced after her
Ksenia Shevtsova infuriated viewers by boasting on TikTok: "Are you out of your mind, dude? Do you know who my mum is?"
She added: "The mayor! We'll send you to the [war]."
The clip, which quickly spread online, featured images and videos of Ksenia posing with her politician mum — followed by the bold claim she could send her critics to fight in Vladimir Putin's brutal war in Ukraine.

'Clock is ticking on Kinahan cartel after Sean McGovern extradition'
The clock is ticking on the Kinahan crime cartel. The successful extradition of murder suspect Sean McGovern last week from Dubai was a major coup for the Gardai and the Government. The courts will decide whether McGovern is innocent or guilty, it is not up to me to decide. But the bottom line is after years on the run abroad, a key ally of the Kinahan family has been brought home in handcuffs and under armed guard to face the music. The big question is what does it mean for the crime family's leaders Christy Snr, Daniel and Christy Jnr? All three have been gone from Ireland for over two decades so it will be difficult to link them to any crimes here. They lived for many years in Marbella on the Costa del Sol and then fled to Dubai almost 10 years ago when the Spanish cops arrested them and started sniffing around their drug-running operations. As soon as they were released because of a lack of clear evidence, the Kinahan clan upped sticks and fled the Costa overnight to the gulf, buying plush homes and investing in various legitimate businesses in Dubai. The father and sons are still residing there with their families even though the eyes of the Gardai and various western intelligence services are on them around the clock. Their cause has also not been helped by a €15 million collective bounty being put on their heads by the Americans who regard them as serious international drug traffickers and want them extradited to the US to face charges there, no less. The more the net tightens on the Kinahans, the bolder they get. A small army of Russian bodyguards protect them around the clock in Dubai but they have also built close ties with both the Russian and Iranian Governments. They wouldn't be short of another bolthole if they decide to do another runner. The rulers of Dubai are a clever bunch and will do whatever is in their own and country's best interests. They wouldn't bat an eyelid about hanging the Kinahan family out to dry if they become too much of an embarrassment to the United Arab Emirates. So don't be one bit surprised if one of these days, you hear that the three Kinahan lads are nicked in the middle of the night and thrown in jail. Life in a Dubai slammer is not, by all accounts, very nice. McGovern, by all accounts, was relieved to get back to Ireland after being held for eight months in an Arab jail. The wardens don't pay too much respect to human rights. Everyone arrested is presumed guilty until proven otherwise. The Gardai have built up a huge file on the activities of the Kinahan crime family right across the globe and it is gone to our Director of Public Prosecutions. He must decide what charges he wants proffered against Christy Snr, Daniel and Christy Jnr before the state formally seeks their extradition. A total of 18 people were killed during the much heralded Kinahan-Hutch feud with 14 fatal casualties on the Hutch side. The Kinahans were able from abroad to pay an army of assassins to do their dirty work and take out many innocent members of the Hutch family who had no act or part in the assassination of Kinahan henchman David Byrne in the Regency Hotel shooting which caused the feud in the first place. But, from a legal point of view, it will be very difficult to prove and also almost impossible to charge any of the three with murder. I am sure the Irish authorities will go after them for operating and directing an organised crime gang and then they have to persuade the powers that be in Dubai that there is a case to answer. Relations between the Irish Government and the United Arab Emirates have improved no end recently. The extradition of McGovern would not have been possible a couple of years ago. Dubai traditionally has turned a blind eye to criminals living in the kingdom so long as they spend and invest plenty of money there and don't commit any crimes while in Dubai. Everything kind of runs on a nod and a wink and the Kinahans have largely kept their nose clean there. But knowing them, they will do everything in their power to stay one step ahead of the cops and use their wealth and influence to try and skip Dubai when they need to. If they are arrested and brought home to stand trial it will be some coup for the Gardai and the Government. Do not bet against it happening.

Ukraine and Russia agree to swap bodies of 6,000 soldiers killed in war
RUSSIA AND UKRAINE have agreed to swap the bodies of 6,000 soldiers killed in action. The agreement emerged today at the latest peace talks in Türkiye, where the two sides met for just over an hour, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian state media said. The talks delivered no major breakthrough in wider peace efforts. Speaking in Vilnius, Lithuania, Zelenskyy said both sides 'exchanged documents through the Turkish side, and we are preparing a new release of prisoners of the war'. Expectations had been low for any breakthrough on ending the three-year-old war after a string of attacks over the weekend. Kyiv officials said a surprise drone attack on Sunday damaged or destroyed more than 40 warplanes at air bases deep inside Russia, including the remote Arctic, Siberian and Far East regions more than 4,300 miles from Ukraine. The complex and unprecedented raid, which struck simultaneously in three time zones, took more than a year and a half to prepare and was 'a major slap in the face for Russia's military power', said Vasyl Maliuk, head of the Ukrainian security service, who led its planning. Zelenskyy called it a 'brilliant operation' that would go down in history. It destroyed or heavily damaged nearly a third of Moscow's strategic bomber fleet, according to Ukrainian officials. Russia on Sunday fired the biggest number of drones — 472 — at Ukraine since its full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine's air force said, in an apparent effort to overwhelm air defences. That was part of a recently escalating campaign of strikes in civilian areas of Ukraine. In Lithuania, Zelenskyy said a new release of prisoners of war was being prepared after the Istanbul meeting. The previous direct talks on May 16 also led to a swap of prisoners, with 1,000 on both sides being exchanged. Ukraine also handed Russia an official list of children it says were forcibly deported and must be returned, said Andriy Yermak, head of Zelenskyy's office. Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan chaired the peace talks at Istanbul's Ciragan Palace. The talks aimed to discuss both sides' ceasefire terms, he said, adding that 'the whole world's eyes are focused on the contacts and discussions you will have here'. US-led efforts to push the two sides into accepting a ceasefire have so far failed. Ukraine accepted that step, but the Kremlin effectively rejected it. The Ukrainian delegation was led by defence minister Rustem Umerov, while Vladimir Medinsky, an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, headed the Kremlin team. The two delegations, each numbering more than a dozen people, sat at a U-shaped table across from each other with Turkish officials between them. Many of the Ukrainians wore military fatigues. Advertisement Members of the Ukrainian delegation arrive at the Ciragan Palace for Ukraine-Russia peace talks. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Recent comments by senior officials in both countries indicate they remain far apart on the key conditions for stopping the war. The relentless fighting has frustrated US President Donald Trump's goal of bringing about a quick end to the war. A week ago, he expressed impatience with Putin as Moscow pounded Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles for a third straight night. Trump said on social media that Putin 'has gone absolutely CRAZY!' A round of renewed direct talks on May 16, also in Istanbul, ended after less than two hours. While both sides agreed on a large prisoner swap, there was no breakthrough. Ukraine was triumphant after targeting the distant Russian air bases. The official Russian response was muted, with the attack getting little coverage on state-controlled television. Russia-1 TV channel on Sunday evening spent a little over a minute on it with a brief Defence Ministry statement read out before images shifted to Russian drone strikes on Ukrainian positions. Zelenskyy said the setbacks for the Kremlin would help force it to the negotiating table, even as its pursues a summer offensive on the battlefield. 'Russia must feel what its losses mean. That is what will push it toward diplomacy,' he said on Monday in Vilnius as he met leaders from the Nordic nations and countries on Nato's eastern flank. Ukraine has occasionally struck air bases hosting Russia's nuclear capable strategic bombers since early in the war, prompting Moscow to redeploy most of them to the regions farther from the front line. Because Sunday's drones were launched from trucks close to the bases in five Russian regions, military defences had virtually no time to prepare for them. Many Russian military bloggers criticised the military for its failure to build protective shields for the bombers despite previous attacks, but the large size of the planes makes that challenging. Zelenskyy said earlier that 'if the Istanbul meeting brings nothing, that clearly means strong new sanctions are urgently, urgently needed' against Russia. Fierce fighting has continued along the 620-mile front line, and both sides have hit each other's territory with deep strikes. Russian forces shelled Ukraine's southern Kherson region, killing three people and injuring 19 others, including two children, regional officials said on Monday. Also, a missile strike and shelling around the southern city of Zaporizhzhia killed five people and injured nine others, officials said. Russian air defences downed 162 Ukrainian drones over eight Russian regions overnight, as well as over the Crimean peninsula, Russia's Defence Ministry said today. Ukrainian air defences damaged 52 out of 80 drones launched by Russia overnight, the Ukrainian air force said.
