Kira Dikhtyar is a Moscow-born model, born in 1988, who attended Moscow State University before entering the modeling industry. According to Agents.media's investigation published in February 2026, Dikhtyar became a scout for Epstein starting in 2009. In a 2012 communication, Dikhtyar offered to find Epstein "a nice gymnast in Kiev," a phrase that encapsulates the geographic and demographic targeting of the recruitment operation: young, athletic women from Ukrainian cities, identified by a Russian scout, for delivery to an American convicted sex offender. Dikhtyar's role overlaps with the broader pattern of Russian and Eastern European women transitioning from initial contact to active recruitment on Epstein's behalf.
Her educational background at MSU and her modeling career provided natural cover for identifying and approaching potential recruits.
