Who Was Ruslana Korshunova, The Fashion Model Who Flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ Two Years Before Her Death?

A model who had everything going right for her jumped to her death in 2008. She was just 20 years old. Ruslana Korshunova was a model from Kazakhstan who jumped from her building in New York. Her death was declared a suicide by US police. There are many conspiracy theories related to her sudden death. Reports also state that she had been on convicted paedophile and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet. She was one of many teenage girls who were flown to his private island. According to Melissa Koenig for the New York Post, “Ruslana Korshunova, who featured in ads for Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Vera Wang and Nina Ricci perfume, was just 18 when she was a passenger on the since-deceased paedophile’s so-called Lolita Express on 7 June 2006, previously

released flight logs show. The trip to Epstein’s Little St James was almost exactly two years before the Kazakh-Russian IMG model leapt to her death from her ninth-floor balcony.”She was 18 when she travelled on the jet and was accompanied by Epstein and three staff members, his bodyguard Igor Zinoviev, personal chef Lance Calloway and longtime assistant Sarah Kellen.

I saw her by chance and she looked like something out of a fairytale. We had to find her and we searched high and low until we did. She’s really incredible, with feline features and timeless beauty.” She had secured campaigns with brands such as Paul Smith, Clarins, Kenzo Accessories, Blumarine and Moschino.While reports revealed that she had travelled to Epstein’s island, another twist to her death was her involvement with the controversial organisation called “Rose of the World” (Roza Mira).
