The father of Epstein's top Russian associate belonged to a small circle of intelligence experts who paved the way for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The author of House of Trump, House of Putin knew of her and suspected she was operating under a legend, but he didn't have the full story. I have uncovered the missing pieces. I won’t keep you in suspense any longer: her name is Svetlana Pozhidaeva. While her name is already in the public domain, she hasn’t previously been linked to human trafficking, nor was the extent of her deep ties to the intelligence services understood—until now. The following details establish her role as a key co-conspirator and uncover the depth of her connections to the Russian secret services. Key Co-conspirator: — Her first recorded contacts with Epstein date all the way back to 2008, making her his longest-standing and potentially first-ever Russian partner. — She was photographed leaving Epstein’s Manhattan mansion with her luggage during Prince Andrew’s infamous four-day visit (December 2010). — Along with Karyna Shuliak, she was officially designated as a beneficiary of the Butterfly Trust—a sophisticated offshore entity Epstein used to funnel millions to his inner circle. — Svetlana was one of only three trusted women with direct access to Epstein’s finances. Alongside his long-time gatekeeper and his primary heir, she held the authority to approve card transactions—a position reserved exclusively for the inner circle. — She was responsible for Epstein’s French operations and the trafficking of girls into France. She operated under the alias 'Julia Santos' in emails and, quite possibly, used a fake passport under that same name. Links to Russian Intelligence: — She is an alumna of MGIMO. It is Russia’s premier 'talent factory' for both high-level diplomacy and foreign intelligence. Her educational background perfectly aligns with her operational role. A graduate of MGIMO’s elite Russian-French master’s program with a dual degree from Nancy, France, she was uniquely qualified to spearhead Epstein’s French operations. — In one of her interviews, Svetlana mentioned that her parents held high-ranking government positions during the Soviet era. However, they proved extremely difficult to trace. Their roles were far from public. — Her father, Yuri Pozhidaev, as I’ve uncovered, was no ordinary intelligence operative. In the late 1970s, he was part of an elite group of specialists assigned to the Commander of the Afghan Air Force. Operating under deep cover before the official invasion, his mission involved the strategic preparation of airfields and infrastructure for Soviet forces. — Her mother, whose rare patronymic 'Marselyevna' should have made her easy to track, has left virtually no digital footprint. However, as revealed in a letter by businessman Gregory Hold, she is also a member of the intelligence services (source: Epstein Files, Bates No. EFTA01757817). Recently, she was employed by Lukoil—one of Russia’s largest oil giants, which has long been viewed by analysts as a key vehicle for Russian state interests and influence abroad. — Svetlana herself also worked for both Lukoil and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MID). Given this background, her sudden pivot into the modeling world is highly suspicious and inexplicable—it bears all the hallmarks of a 'legend,' a classic cover story used in intelligence operations. — Both of her parents were deeply involved in her life. They traveled to France and the United States, and personally met with Epstein himself. Furthermore, Svetlana reported that they were prepared to invest in a business venture of hers. — Epstein was fully aware of her parents’ intelligence background, as evidenced by their correspondence. Svetlana Pozhidaeva appears to remain in the United States to this day, though she has effectively vanished from the public eye.
