Fact check: Ruslana Korshunova was a Russian model.

Verdict: mostly true — Trust Score 75/100

The post accurately identifies Ruslana Korshunova as a Russian model who died in 2008 after falling from her ninth-floor apartment in New York. It also correctly states that declassified files indicate she visited Jeffrey Epstein's island in 2006 when she was 18 years old. This information is confirmed by 4 sources. The post's commentary, however, uses sensational language to emphasize the importance of discussing the Epstein files.
