She remains in intensive care, conscious but unable to speak, and is on neurological support following the major operation.
Her family rushed to Moscow after finally being notified of her location more than two weeks after she vanished.
Anzhelika’s relatives had lost contact with her late last month.
The model, originally from the Krasnodar region, had been lying in the hospital for days, heavily beaten and swollen.
She was drifting in and out of consciousness before she managed to whisper her first and last name to medics.
According to REN TV, Anzhelika told doctors she was attacked on November 23 by a man she knew in an apartment on Universitetsky Prospekt.
He reportedly struck her in the head so forcefully that she lost consciousness.
Police are now investigating whether the attacker was her boyfriend, who’s been identified in different reports as Dmitry or Andrey and described as considerably older and controlling.
Her partner allegedly showered her with expensive gifts but imposed suffocating rules, forbidding her from seeing relatives, restricting her travel and keeping her isolated.
During the search, police found her diary, which included entries about her intense relationship with a boyfriend.
She also reportedly described herself as “the most beautiful and sexiest girl on planet Earth”, saying her lover “cannot eat, sleep, or breathe” without her.
Anzhelika is an actress, model, and used to own a tanning parlour.
She recently moved to Moscow after a divorce, leaving behind her 16-year-old son.
In her flat, relatives found her phone, passport, diary, documents, half-packed suitcases, and keys left in the postbox.
There were no signs of struggle, with neighbours telling her relatives they had last seen her leaving with an older man shortly before she disappeared.
Telegram news channel Baza reported she had argued violently with her wealthy boyfriend, a 40-year-old construction businessman, shortly before vanishing.
Cops are trying to reconstruct how the glamorous model ended up beaten nearly to death and abandoned.
They are reviewing CCTV, phone records, and the timeline of her movements between November 21 and the day she was admitted to hospital.
A commenter said: “It’s brutal.
“How could you do that to someone? I hope she pulls through and that scum gets what’s coming to him.”
For now, the focus is on stabilising her condition, reports say.
