The tragic accident happened just a few hours after she posted happy wedding pictures of her nuptials with her new husband Kirill, 24.
She died after the couple returned home after the wedding ceremony and a party at a restaurant in the city.
The “distressed” groom then called the emergency services and rushed down to find her body after they fell.
While he was seen being questioned by Russian cops, he denied any role in his new wife’s fall, it is understood.
Cops for now have ruled out the tragic incident as an accident, although an investigation remains underway.
Ksenia had recently graduated from St Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine.
She was deeply interested in photography – and had started to post pictures of the wedding just before she died.
The wedding ceremony was attended by close friends and a few relatives.
She wore a short white dress while the bridegroom was in a white shirt and beige trousers.
Speaking about the couple’s relationship, a Russian newspaper wrote: “Friends said the couple had been happy at their wedding.
“Testimony from friends and relatives indicate that there were no serious problems in the couple’s relationship.
“The young man sincerely loved his bride, and simply could not harm her, the friends of the deceased are certain.”
