Russia appears 5,553 times in the documents. Mentions of Russian officials, oligarchs and young women have fueled unproven speculation online that the Kremlin may have played a role in Epstein's crimes or that Epstein worked for Russian intelligence. As speculation swirls, here is what we know for certain about Russia and the Epstein files - and how Moscow has reacted to the news. Maria Drokova, a Russian public relations manager and former press secretary for the Kremlin-backed youth group Nashi (Ours), is mentioned 1,627 times in the Epstein files. Weeks before Epstein's arrest in 2019, he sent Drokova a text message asking her to send "nudes," according to the documents. She replied that she would do so the next time.
