Woman who escorted Trump around Moscow in 2013 was well-acquainted with Maria Butina.

Yulya Alferova worked PR for Aras and Emin Agalarov in November 2013 when the Agalarovs hosted the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow.

During Trump's multiple day visit to Moscow, Alferova was close at Trump's side on multiple occasions, even sitting in with Trump at high profile business meetings (which may have included government officials)




Shortly after Miss Universe, and long before Trump officially announced his candidacy in June 2015, Alferova began promoting Trump as a US Presidential candidate on social media:



Alferova's husband at the time of Miss Universe, Artem Klyushin, also spent considerable time with Trump while he was in Moscow.



Klyushin is close friends with Konstantin Rykov, the chief online propagandist for the Kremlin who bragged about running a disinformation campaign over social media to target US voters to support Trump, using the help of Cambridge Analytica, hackers, and Wikileaks. Klyushin made statements himself claiming he was involved in efforts to get Trump elected, and Klyushin attended an Election Night party and was sitting at a table with Rykov the very moment Trump was projected as the winner.

Alferova herself is also friends with Rykov and was discussing Donald Trump with him as far back as Election Night 2012 (when Rykov claims to have personally interacted with Trump):



Now, as per Malcolm Nance's Twitter feed, we know that Alferova was also friends with Maria Butina, the recently indicted Russian spy who infiltrated the NRA and various US politicians.

Small world!
Yulya Alferova who organized Miss Universe for Trump and Agalarov in 2013 also appeared at an event w Russian spy Butina in 2014. Maybe that’s why Butina was able to ask Trump the first question on relations with Russia

I think we're beginning to see a little more of what our intel community has long known about the Russian cast of players, their relationships with each other, and how they acted to flip a US election.

2. Translated Screencap:

Alferova was attending Butina's "Right to Bear Arms" front group's convention in 2014. This was after the Miss Universe and after Alferova began promoting Trump as a candidate but before Trump officially announced.



I wonder what other western figures may have attended this event.

3. Butina's sugar daddy, Alexandr Torshin, seemed close with the ladies.
