The US Department of Justice since the end of last year began publishing the largest set of documents in history on the case of Jeffrey Epstein — a financier accused of creating a system of sexual exploitation of minors. Hundreds of gigabytes and millions of pages of correspondence, screenshots, testimonies, and official materials have become publicly available, mentioning the names of major politicians, billionaires, and members of royal families.

«Forever, your blonde»: what is known from the Epstein files?

The first mentions of Vera in the Epstein files date back to July 2007. In it, Jeffrey in correspondence with a certain Nadia discusses the girl«s visit and her ability to »bring a friend with her.« Nadia, as becomes clear from the documents, is Nadia Marchinko, a model, pilot, and airline owner from Slovakia, who went missing in 2024.

In November 2007, messages appear from Vera herself. In them, she shares her «new» address (one of the houses on Narimanov Street in Volzhsky) and tells Epstein that she «misses him and New York.» In response, Jeffrey asks Vera to send him photos, both of herself and of her city.

Their correspondence continues until the end of 2007. In January, the girl congratulated Jeffrey on the New Year, in March she reported moving to London and passed on her mother«s number, and in December she thanked him for a passport. And each time she does not forget to mention that she misses him.

After 2008, their personal correspondence does not appear. This is likely related to the «leak» in 2014 of her email and password on one of the anonymous forums that was discovered.

However, already in March 2010, Vera«s name surfaces again, but this time in a message from a certain Mark Lloyd. He, introducing himself as a friend of Epstein, invited the girl to a dinner with former South African President Jacob Zuma.

Two days later, Lloyd writes to Epstein, where he calls a certain woman (judging by the text — Vera) «magnificent,» also asking if the «island» is working.

What is known about Vera from open sources?

It was possible to find a full namesake of Vera mentioned in the Epstein files. She is similar to the person involved in the case by external description: a blue-eyed blonde with a height of 176 centimeters (5 ft 9 in). If we believe open data, she is a once-successful model from Russia. Among her agencies: representations in Milan, New York, and London. She is now 37 years old.

Most of Vera«s photos in the public domain are shots from model photoshoots, including for fashion glossy magazines. Among them are a huge number of images in bikinis and bras.

It was possible to find the girl on social networks. She has been active since 2018, but there are not many publications on Instagram* (an extremist organization, activities prohibited in the territory of the Russian Federation). Most photos before 2025 were taken in different parts of France, mainly in Burgundy, and the last post (from November 2025) is a photo against the backdrop of the Prince Albert Memorial in the very center of London.

About herself on LinkedIn* (an extremist organization, activities prohibited in the territory of the Russian Federation), the girl indicates that from 2012 to 2017 she studied at the Volzhsky Institute named after Tatishchev with a major in «management.»

Since 2013, according to her information, she worked as an exclusive assistant to the general manager at the five-star Moscow hotel «Samphar Aurora,» where she rose to sales manager. And in 2019, she got a job at a French perfume house as an export manager, where she worked for more than 6 years until July 2025.
