Who is Vitaly Churkin in the Epstein files?

Vitaly Churkin was Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations from 2006 until his death in 2017. The Epstein documents show he maintained a personal relationship with Epstein involving regular meetings at their Manhattan residences, social lunches, and correspondence about helping Churkin's son Maxim find employment in New York. Epstein later described Churkin as a 'good friend' and claimed Churkin 'understood Trump after our conversations.'

What was the nature of Epstein's relationship with Ambassador Churkin?

The documents reveal a personal relationship spanning at least 2015-2016 with frequent meetings at both Epstein's townhouse and Churkin's residence (located '3 blocks away'). Epstein was actively helping Churkin's son Maxim secure a position at a wealth management firm, repeatedly stressing that 'any Maxim help is confidential.' They also met for lunches alongside other prominent figures like Peter Thiel. After Churkin's sudden death in February 2017, Epstein wrote that the diplomat's passing had disrupted his plans.

How often did Churkin meet with Epstein?

The calendar documents show multiple scheduled appointments between 2015-2016, including meetings at 11:00am, 12:30pm lunches, 1:00pm appointments at Churkin's home, and 4:00pm meetings at Epstein's residence. Email correspondence also reveals coordination for deliveries to Churkin's address and scheduling changes when Churkin was running late, suggesting an active and ongoing relationship during this period.
