Kremlin-connected Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska has won a million-ruble moral-damage claim against a Belarusian escort and model known as Nastya Rybka and her partner, self-styled “sex guru” Aleksandr Kirillov.

In a July 9 ruling, the Ust-Labinsk district court in the Krasnodar Krai ordered Kirillov and Anastasia Vashukevich, who calls herself Nastya Rybka, to pay Deripaska 500,000 rubles ($8,000) each.
