When Ruslana Korshunova was only twenty years old, her body was discovered in her Wall Street apartment. It is thought that she had fallen from a nine-story balcony.
The most recent undisclosed court documents that exposed the individuals connected to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell featured the well-known Kazak-Russian model.
In the days following the model’s passing, Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew’s accuser, was questioned concerning Korshunova in the documents.
It was disclosed by DailyMail that Korshunova, who was only eighteen years old at the time, was transported to Epstein’s Little St. James island via his notorious private Boeing 727.
Known as the Lolita Express, it was purportedly used to transport wealthy and influential men to the island together with young females.
Just before her death in June 2008, Korshunova was rumored to have joined an extreme “self-help group” in Russia.

According to flight records, the model stepped off the runway and onto the Lolita Express in New York on June 7, 2006.
The aircraft took off from JFK airport and traveled to the infamous private island in the US Virgin Islands.
Ringleader Epstein, his chef Lance Calloway, and bodyguard Igor Zinoviev—a former UFC fighter—were all on the same trip.
Two other women were also seen to be on board: Stephanie Tidwell and Sarah Kellen, Epstein’s longtime assistant.
Kellen was described by Judge Alison Nathan as a “knowing participant in the criminal conspiracy” during Maxwell’s 2022 sentencing.
With the revelation of excerpts from her interactions with attorneys, Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew’s accuser, has been at the center of the court documents that were initially displayed this week.
As email exchanges between Giuffre and Florida lawyer Brad Edwards were revealed in the documents, the subject of Korshunova came up.
When Edwards questioned Giuffre about the model back in May 2011, he mentioned that the model had loved going to a private island with a wealthy man.
Edwards asked Giuffre if he recognized the model from any trips to the US Virgin Islands, and he emailed over a link to a Newsweek story about her death.
Though it’s unlikely that you would recognize her, read the article I’ve included and then look at the photos to see if you can identify Giuffre. The man was acting as Giuffre’s public relations representative at the time.
Giuffre retorted, saying, “I am deeply sorry to learn about Ruslana’s passing.
Following a Manhattan judge’s decision to declare the papers no longer need to be kept secret, the exchange was made public on Thursday in the most recent round of released documents.
This means that a number of people who were connected to Epstein at some point—including Donald Trump, Leonardo DiCaprio, Stephen Hawking, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew—were named in the documents.
While Epstein was detained for trial, he passed away in August of 2019.
Maxwell, his right-hand lady, is incarcerated for 20 years after being convicted of sex trafficking.
During her teenage years, Korshunova rose to prominence as a model, and she was soon inundated with hundreds of offers for glitzy vacations and highly lucrative modeling assignments.
Her life changed, as did the lives of her model friends Jessica Stam and Lily Cole.
However, rumors have it that she gained her newfound celebrity as a result of affluent men impressing her with their wealth before moving on to the next big thing and discarding her.
It’s unclear how she ended up on an aircraft with Epstein, but rumors have it that Maxwell made friends with attractive young ladies and then dragged them into her life for Epstein’s amusement.
Additionally, Epstein is alleged to have offered women who worked for him particular assistance in arranging their visas.
Even yet, it’s unknown what her parents’ visa status is. She is a stunning Kazakh woman.

It is also said by many that Epstein searched out ladies and forced Maxwell to try and recruit them to his horror team by hanging around parties with models and well-known faces.
Korshunova burst onto the modeling scene at the 2005 New York Fashion Week, and at the time of her murder, she was residing in Manhattan’s Financial District.
She held positions at Marc Jacobs, Paul Smith, Kenzo, Vera Wang, Donna Karan, Nina Ricci, and even Christian Dior.
During her ascent to fame, she also appeared on the front covers of French Elle, Russian Vogue, and The New York Times style magazine.

She was dubbed the “Russian Rapunzel” and described as a “face to be excited about” by British Vogue.
Korshunova was noted as being aboard the Lolita Express flight during this meteoric era of prosperity.
But she would pass away in two short years.
She never disclosed any further information about her contact with Epstein or Maxwell.
Korshunova joined an extreme “self-help group” in Russia, according to Peter Pomerantsev’s 2014 book Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia.
Because of its propensity for “emotional domination” and “dehumanizing” their adherents, critics have long labeled Rose of the World as a cult.
According to Pomerantsev, Korshunova was motivated to join the organization after her modeling assignments began to wane and she needed assistance after experiencing harm from her coaches.
