Zaitseva burst into tears as she was detained despite an extraordinary appeal to allow her multi-millionaire father to compensate her victims and their families.
The glamorous oligarch's daughter was seen in tears alone in the courtroom cage at the start of a legal process which could see her jailed for a maximum ten years.
In an extraordinary message from the dock to the bereaved and injured, the weeping heiress said: 'I am sorry that this situation happened and people suffered. This is the only that truly concerns me now.
I am hoping that families will allow my parents to help them because this is the worst that could happen. All my thoughts are about it.'
Her lawyer Yulia Kozyr - famous for representing prominent people accused of corruption in Kharkiv - had sought house arrest for her. But a judge ruled that she must remain in a detention prison for two months pending a criminal investigation into alleged dangerous driving causing deaths and injuries.
The court was told that a urine test revealed she had taken cannabis. But a blood test showed her clear of alcohol and drugs so further analysis was ordered.
