Warned to keep quiet about Russian oligarch – Belarusian ‘sex coach’
The 28 year old Belarusian model, deported from Thailand two weeks ago and who claimed to have information on Moscow’s attempts to interfere in 2016 US elections, claims she was ordered by Russian security agents to keep silent about her dealings with a Russian billionaire.
Anastasia Vashukevich, aka. Nastya Rybka, the “sex coach” arrested in Pattaya last February along with eight other Russians, came to the world’s attention after she claimed to have secret recordings she made during an affair with Russian oligarch Olig Deripaska which might shed light on US President Donald Trump’s links to Russia.
She spoke to CNN this week and claimed she was instructed by Russian security services not to talk about the billionaire mining tycoon Deripaska, a past associate of the former, disgraced Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
“They explained to me very clearly what should I do, what should I say and what I shouldn’t say.”
When CNN pushed her as to who ‘they’ were, Anastasia said “Russian agents.”
“They said to me, Don’t touch Oleg Deripaska anymore.”
The model, listed in Wikipedia as a ‘Belarusian escort, model, blogger and author’, was detained at a Moscow Airport earlier this month after being deported from Thailand. She had spent nearly a year behind bars for ‘soliciting’. She described the situation in the Thai jail as “appalling conditions” during her interview with CNN.
Anastasia was finally freed from Russian police custody last week.
She now says the claims she made to the media were an attempt to gain international media attention to save her life.
CNN asked if she regretted making those claims.
“I think it saved my life, how can I regret it? If journalists had not come at that time and that story had not come to the newspapers, maybe I would be dead by now.”
“It’s like a blockbuster and I’m inside. But it’s not a movie, it’s my life.”
