NP Rank:
Model Ruslana Korshunova's 'suicide' conspiracy theories
Model Ruslana Korshunova's death over the weekend has been ruled a suicide, but conspiracy theories are flooding the internet as to why the beautiful, young, model would have killed herself.
See previous NowPublic coverage here.
The 20-year-old was found dead outside her downtown Manhattan building on Saturday afternoon after eyewitnesses described seeing a body plunge nine floors from a balcony.
Friends have since cast doubts that the successful Kazakh would have had reason to end her life however.
"There's no way she would have killed herself," Kira Titeneva, a friend from Korshunova's home town, told the New York Daily News. "She loved life so much".
Here are a few of those theories:
There are a lot of things about 20-year-old model Ruslana Korshunova's suicide that are hard to fathom: why she was out with her ex-boyfriend until 4 a.m. when she lived with another guy, why she didn't leave a note or any explanation, and — most obviously — what would ever have prompted her to kill herself. She wasn't someone who lost a loved one or a job or was facing some imminent disgrace. She was a successful model.
Beyond that, the basic premise of the conspiracy theory is that the Russian (and one assumes, Kazakh) underworld colludes with their semi-legal oligarchic corporate counterparts and corrupt government officials to traffic in high-dollar model flesh. It’s hard to find anyone willing to articulate this theory coherently, much less put their name to it. But here’s a reasonably complete, if bonkers, version. All spelling sic:
“But another theory has been delved upon by some authors of the fashion industry who claim that Ruslana´s death might be related to the model wanting out desperately and not being allowed to do so by the Paris-NewYork-Moscow mafia that controls teeange models. Some reports have linked the economic giant Gazprom with creating a web of model managment and discovery with a a tightly controlled escort spinoff that sets up supermodels with corporative tycoons.”
An alternavive theory of Korshunova´s dead has been surfacing the web, the theory points out to the russian mafia and big companies wielding models in a network of sexual jetset compliances. Ruslana wanted out but was not allowed to do so without consequences. Her suicide coul be a mastermind manipulation and a message to other models who would try to to quit.
Whether this is true or not, whether there exists a dark network of conspiracy to use models as images to exert power through sexual media, remains to be seen, still it sheds light on the modern slavery thrusted on beautiful eastern european girls.
Here are some entries from the model's own blog:
there's disorder! i don't have a home. I need an boss for there to be order
If I am for others, then who is for me? And if I am for myself, then what am I for?
if you don't get lost, there is a chance you may never be found..
boys..why are you so silly
A girl once asked a guy, does he think she is cute. He said no. She asked, would he want to be with her forever, and he said no. Then she asked him, if i left, would you cry and his answer was no. She heard enough. She turned around, to leave, tears running down her face. The guy took her hand and said, "You are not cute, you are beautiful. I don't want to be with you forever, I HAVE to. And I would not cry, if you left, I would die.
