Putin's close friend mentioned in Epstein files as supplier of girls for sex parties
The so-called "Epstein files" have mentioned russian conductor Valery Gergiev. His name appears in e-mail correspondence attributed to financier Jeffrey Epstein and his contacts, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
In particular, in one of the letters, Gergiev is called the "owner" of St. Petersburg, and is also described as a "great source of P." The correspondence does not explain what exactly is meant by the letter "P." But some researchers and journalists analyzing the materials believe that the code word "P" in Epstein's correspondence could have been used as the code word "Pussies" (a coarse name for female genitals in the plural), which was used to designate girls for sex parties.
There are currently no official comments from Valery Gergiev regarding the mentions in the correspondence.
As is known, conductor Valery Gergiev is the director of the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg and the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. Russian media also call him a personal friend of the president of the occupation country, russia, vladimir putin. Since 2022, Gergiev has been systematically denied performances in EU countries due to his support for the war against Ukraine and the policies of the Kremlin leader.
It was previously reported that Epstein had ties to russian intelligence and collected compromising material on influential people.
