CNN says the Epstein story is dead based on google searches dropping, as if people need to continually search for the same information, so in order to keep it as a top story OUR job is to type "Epstein files" into google once a day every day.. do it now!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

man who cares if "crime is down" or you have a nice photo of a park. if crime were up and your photo was less pleasant to look at the thing is still that the president shouldn't be sending brownshirts to traipse around our cities

No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

Drokova also invested in Impulse VC, a Moscow-based company backed by Russian oligarch Abramovich, and StealthWorker, a service that connects employers with cybersecurity professionals.

She also invested more than $4 million in the artificial intelligence start-up DigitalGenius.

But it appears that Drokovaโ€™s real task was to find American investors for Russia to finance technologies that could be useful to the Kremlin.

Coincidentally, in 2016, she began to invest in technology start-ups, targeting NtechLab, which is now at least 37% owned by Rostec, i.e., the Russian govt

11.08.2025 19:06 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 40    ๐Ÿ” 12    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Drokova then obtained an E16 visa thanks to the intervention of Esther Dyson, an old acquaintance of Epstein who sits on the board of directors of Russian search engine giant Yandex N.V.

Drokova then moved to the US and became Epstein's publicist.

Drokova became an associate of Konstantin Rykov, the Kremlinโ€™s โ€œchief trollโ€ and a key figure in Senate investigation into Russian interference in the US elections.

Rykov was a former hacker and member of the Duma.

Drokova was only 15 when she joined Nashi, a former pro-Putin youth organization that was a political army created to suppress opposition groups.

She progressed to the very top of the organization, becoming the protege of Russia's Minister of Youth.

Another Russian collaborator of Epsteinโ€™s, Masha Drokova, followed a similarly unusual path.

Drokova was such a fervent supporter of Putin there is a documentary on her called "Putin's Kiss"

Pozhidaeva was a graduate of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, the academy that trains Russian diplomats & intelligence agents.

Yet she became an MC2 model, the agency owned by sexual predator Jean-Luc Brunel & Epsteinโ€™s pimp.

Then went to the US & became Epstein's assistant

๐ŸงตThe Epstein saga is even more interesting when you look at the Russian women who helped run his operation

Epstein's assistant, Svetlana (Lana) Pozhidaeva, obtained an O-1 talent visa for the US thanks to a letter of recommendation from Belyakov, Putin's then Deputy Minister of Economic Development
