| Name | Connections to modeling world | Connections to Jeffrey Epstein | Suspected connections to Russian intelligence | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Naomi Campbell | International supermodel; long-standing ties to Elite Model Management early in her career and major global fashion houses. Previously in a high-profile relationship (2008–2013) with Russian billionaire real estate developer Vladislav Doronin. | Named in Jeffrey Epstein flight logs and photographed at events with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell; has publicly stated she was unaware of Epstein’s crimes. | No verified evidence of Russian intelligence ties; has professional relationships with Russian elites including participation in events in Moscow. | | Reuters on Doronin relationship |
| Anna Malova | Crowned Miss Russia 1994; previously Miss Baltic Sea 1994 and Miss Volga 1993. Competed in the 1994 Miss World contest and later prepared for Miss Universe. Spent time in St. Petersburg, Florida studying English and pursuing modeling opportunities in the United States. (Tampa Tribune, 1994) | No documented evidence in court records or major investigative reporting linking Malova directly to Jeffrey Epstein. She was part of the 1990s international beauty pageant circuit, a milieu later examined in reporting on Epstein’s social and modeling networks, but she has not been named in Epstein flight logs or legal filings. | Publicly released pilot flight logs associated with Jeffrey Epstein list the name “Anna Malova” on certain flights. The logs do not specify purpose of travel, and no court filing has alleged wrongdoing by Malova in connection with those flights. | Tampa Tribune feature | Vanity Fair reporting | New York Magazine Epstein flight log page (public record) |
| Lana Pozhidaeva | Reported modeling representation includes Elite and MC2 in multiple investigations and news accounts. | Reporting links her to Epstein-connected entities and to document releases describing operational/logistics roles; some accounts also discuss nonprofit funding associated with Epstein's foundations. | Like the Svetlana/Lana identity overlap used in some reporting, claims about intelligence links often hinge on MGIMO background and Russian-official support described by Dossier Center; avoid asserting as fact beyond what sources support. |

| Kira Dikhtyar | Model; represented by agencies including MC2 (per reporting summarized in mainstream outlets and biographical sources). | Journalist Vicky Ward reports Dikhtyar met Epstein at 17 and was paid to attend meetings as a "decorative" presence. | Studied geopolitics at Moscow State University (per mainstream reporting and secondary sources); some public commentary frames her Russia-facing activism and connections in a broader intelligence narrative, but claims vary and should be sourced carefully. |

| Renata Bolotova | Russian model associated with New York and European modeling circuits; reported connections to MC2 Model Management, founded by Jean‑Luc Brunel. | Named in reporting related to Jean‑Luc Brunel and his modeling operations, which were financially backed by Jeffrey Epstein; no public evidence that she was directly charged with wrongdoing. | No verified evidence of Russian intelligence ties; inclusion in reporting relates to proximity to Brunel/Epstein modeling network rather than documented intelligence affiliation. | The Guardian reporting on Brunel | Miami Herald reporting |
| Guzel Ganieva | Described in reporting as a Russian model (agency history varies by account). | In legal filings and reporting, she alleged Leon Black flew her to Epstein's Florida home in 2008 and described coercive circumstances; Black disputes wrongdoing and denies abuse allegations. | Dossier Center describes (and partially disputes) claims in some reporting that she appeared on a Ukrainian intelligence list of FSB officers; the identification has been contested and should be treated cautiously. |

| Karyna Shuliak | Belarusian model who worked in U.S. modeling and nightlife circles; associated with Palm Beach social scene. | Described in multiple reports as Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend at the time of his 2019 arrest; present at his Palm Beach mansion and reportedly received financial support from him. | No verified evidence of Russian intelligence ties; publicly identified as Ukrainian and has denied wrongdoing related to Epstein’s crimes. | Miami Herald reporting | Business Insider profile |
| Masha Drokova | Former federal commissioner and spokesperson of the pro-Kremlin youth movement Nashi. Later moved to the United States where she founded the venture capital firm Day One Ventures and became a Silicon Valley investor, including being named to Forbes’ 2019 “30 Under 30” list. For Putin’s 58th birthday, Nashi released an “erotic calendar” featuring twelve semi-nude female journalism students from Moscow State University including Masha. | Newly released correspondence from the Jeffrey Epstein files shows Drokova (also known as Masha Bucher) maintained a close professional and personal relationship with Epstein from 2017 until shortly before his 2019 arrest, including helping arrange press interviews and advising on media strategy. Her name appears in more than 1,000 emails and messages in the archive, and she has addressed these revelations publicly, including via social media. | While major outlets have documented her past leadership in a pro-Kremlin youth group and subsequent involvement in tech investing, there is no publicly confirmed evidence that she acted as an agent of Russian intelligence; speculation centers on her earlier political affiliations and links between Russian-linked capital and Silicon Valley. | Washington Post report on Russian tech ties | TechCrunch profile and response | Byline Times investigative report |
