Epstein files: Novosibirsk model's Hilton and London ties

A 32-year-old resident of Novosibirsk, Daria B., had personal correspondence with financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sexual crimes. This follows from an archive of documents published by the U.S. Department of Justice, which NGS reviewed.

From the documents, it follows that a woman with this name was looking for «candidates» for Epstein. In personal correspondence, Daria sent the deceased financier data and photographs of residents of Novosibirsk. According to these correspondences, the girls were selected for a trip to Paris — this is indicated by paid airline tickets. NGS managed to establish the identities of three girls mentioned in the documents, but could not contact them at the time of publication.

According to the documents, Daria B. maintained contact with Epstein from 2017 to 2019. The U.S. Department of Justice published many of her personal correspondences with the financier, in which she asks to book tickets for herself and also says that she needs money for personal needs. According to an NGS source, Daria B. during this period worked at the Novosibirsk branch of the Hilton hotel and was related to the modeling agency «Russian Brilliance».

The head of the agency, Polina Yudina, in a conversation with an NGS correspondent, stated that a person with that name is unfamiliar to her.

«She was not [a model] during my time working, I have been working since 2018,» answered the director of the modeling agency.

Another source clarified that Daria was a model for the agency much earlier. According to the interlocutor, the girl worked in this field since 2008 and collaborated with many agencies, and was in «Russian Brilliance» until approximately 2012. After 2015, Daria began publishing photographs from London. According to the source, such a sharp career rise is a great rarity.

«She had very good photographs. In London, it is very difficult to break through as a model,» emphasized the interlocutor.

Also, according to NGS, Daria B. worked for some time at JSC «Agency for Investment Development of the Novosibirsk Region» (now it is «Corporation for Development of NSO») in the position of assistant to the general director. At the agency, NGS did not confirm or deny this information.

«The information you requested relates to personal data, therefore we cannot provide it,» answered a representative of the organization.

During that period, the organization was headed by Alexander Zyryanov. Since summer 2024, he has been in a pre-trial detention center on corruption charges. The court began considering his case in July of last year.

It was not possible to contact Daria B. herself. Her phone was unavailable, and today she deleted her page on VKontakte.

The day before, NGS learned that in the «Epstein files,» Novosibirsk is mentioned hundreds of times.
