According to declassified files from the U.S. Department of Justice, in 2018 Jeffrey Epstein was offered to meet a girl from the Krasnodar-based modeling agency Shtorm Models. The following year, this girl launched her own clothing brand.

The published files contain correspondence in which, in 2018, Epstein was suggested to invite a girl from Krasnodar to one of his famous parties. She was a friend of the “founder of Shtorm” and collaborated with the team of the controversial millionaire. “Raya speaks English very well and is smart,” they wrote to Epstein, providing a link to her profile on the Shtorm Models website.

Shortly after the correspondence was published, the Shtorm Models website stopped working; however, the page with this profile had been deleted long before — shortly after the alleged meeting with Epstein.

The founder of the agency, which, by the way, participated in organizing the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics, Dana Borisenko, reacted angrily to the “surfaced” correspondence. “Yes, my modeling agency worked at the Sochi Olympics in 2014, but so did about five other modeling agencies! They write about a model named Raya, but we don’t even know who she is exactly, no surname is given, we only know from official sources that she is from Krasnodar and speaks English well!

Yes, I had a model named Raisa at the very beginning of the modeling event, and the agency is already 16 years old! Anyone could have copied a link from any modeling agency in the world with a model’s name and sent it to anyone with the context — ‘find this model, we like her’ — that can happen!

But to say that Shtorm Models sent some model named Raya to America for NON-model work… are you serious?” — said Borisenko.

It is worth noting that we managed to find the deleted profile. The girl depicted there is the same age as Dana Borisenko, who was also a model, and at that time, according to social media, they were friends. By 2019, the girl from the profile had launched her own clothing brand. Since then, she has worked as a creative director, designer, and producer for celebrity photoshoots.
