Among the published files of the notoriously known American financier Jeffrey Epstein, letters from the Belarusian modeling agency "Studio Tamara" were found.

The files included correspondence between the Belarusian agency and the French modeling agency Mademoiselle Agency. It took place in early 2013.
Tamara Goncharova's name can be seen in the letterhead. She sent photos of one of the models to the representative of the French agency. The attached file names include the word "bikini".
Another letter, signed "Studio Tamara", states: "I will also be very happy if we can cooperate again! I am sending 4 girls to start with. Let me know what you think of them! As soon as there is a result, I will think about who else to offer."
The representative of Mademoiselle Agency corresponded directly with Epstein himself – the conversation usually revolved around different girls. Forwarding the letters from the Belarusian agency to the financier, he wrote: "Arriving in March. 18 years old."
It is unknown whether "Studio Tamara" knew that their letters were being forwarded, or if any of the agency's models eventually came at Epstein's request.
"Studio Tamara" is one of the oldest Belarusian modeling agencies. It was founded by Tamara Goncharova, who herself worked as a model in the USSR.
The agency specializes in scouting, selecting, and promoting models – both beginners and working professionals. Its most famous protégé is Marina Linchuk, who became a supermodel and worked with brands such as Dior, Hugo Boss, Dolce & Gabbana, and Versace.
