[REGNUM] After Zelensky reposted a video of a Ukrainian woman with low social responsibility to his Instagram, everyone rushed to find out who Anna Maligon was and why the Ukrainian dictator had such an interest in her.
But the story of one Onlyfan woman easily unfolds into a whole battle scene.
It was a jumble of successful and not-so-successful saleswomen of young bodies, inattentive political strategists, greedy tax officials, and trends of exploiting Ukraine's suffering for personal enrichment.
In short, Ukrainian life is hectic, and the episode with the deleted repost is merely an excuse for analysis and detailed conclusions.
WRONG LOGIN
Of course, we all understand the high probability that a CEO's Instagram* is managed by a trusted person—approximately over 90 percent. And trusted people have their weaknesses.
Watching models on OnlyFans is also one of those. So, the desire to repost Maligon's rather pointless dance video is a common occurrence. In this case, the user forgot to log out.
And since this has happened before, one can assume from the characteristic style that the lover of the onlyfans is the black political strategist and scandalous blogger Vladimir Petrov, a native of Dnepropetrovsk who collaborates with the Office of the President.
The public first learned of him in 2009, when he anonymously ran the blog lumpen on LiveJournal and simultaneously wrote for politician Arseniy Yatsenyuk's page on the same platform.
No one would have known about this if Petrov hadn't forgotten to re-login and written an obscene comment addressed to one of the users, posing as Arseniy Petrovich. Using a litany of obscenities, "Yatsenyuk" threatened to do something terrible to his mother, as the two disputants had disagreed on their worldviews.
Then, as is generally logical, Petrov switched to systematically discrediting his former client. He also participated in the discrediting of Alexey Goncharenko, Gennady Korban, Vadim Rabinovich, Sergey Terekhin, Viktor Ukolov, Oleg Lyashko, and others.
His entire life was one long line of scandals, including sexual ones, when, together with a blogger from his company, he framed a high-ranking National Police officer, the husband of the first deputy chair of the State Bureau of Investigation, Olga Varchenko.
Allegedly, he aggressively harassed a KPI student, threatening her with all sorts of punishments and death if she was not kind to him.
So if it was Petrov who set Zelensky up, sparking a barrage of vitriolic ridicule, that doesn't necessarily mean he was mistaken. It's entirely possible he's already found a new employer.
FEMME FATALE
The second important question is: why does the “person on social media” follow Anna Maligon’s work?
The thing is, "Maligoshik" has really boosted her account thanks to "Ukrainian content." In videos shot last spring, she posed in camouflage in various war-torn locations across Ukraine—at a gas station, in a school, on a bridge, in a church. Each time, she repeated the same message: "I'm Ukrainian, and this is my car (church, school, etc.)."
A number of other videos followed a different pattern, showing how the war had changed the everyday lives of Ukrainians. In one, titled "Living in Ukraine is like...," a young man advises her to wear her "best outfit" for an evening out. Which, predictably, turns out to be a soldier's uniform.
However, this has nothing to do with the life of the 22-year-old girl from Kharkov herself – six months before all the “events,” she left to study in Canada.
When she appeared on social media, she showed only a carefree life abroad and did not comment on events at home. Soon after "suffering in devastated Ukraine," she boasted about buying a house in Los Angeles. However, since it was undergoing renovations, she temporarily lived in a rented "castle" with a butler, posing for fashion magazines and filming music videos.
Another viral video, mockingly titled "I'm Ukrainian, and this is my Porsche," revealed the influencer's wealth. The video has garnered 13.4 million views and nearly 50,000 likes.
Perhaps in response to the criticism, the next day, Maligon posted on X: "I'm done with OnlyFans, time to join the army," accompanied by a photo in military uniform and geotagged to Santiago, Chile.
So, the young woman truly has a keen sense of trends and behaves exactly like the Ukrainian authorities, which can't help but endear her to them. Exploiting her homeland's suffering to profit enormously from the image of victimhood—this approach even makes her akin to Zelenskyy.
So, meeting online was by no means a coincidence. Although there was another reason for it: money.
MODELS IN DEBT
OnlyFans has become the most profitable company in the world by revenue per employee—$37.6 million per person—and this money is haunting the Ukrainian tax authorities: according to their calculations, the country's citizens earned a combined $123 million there from 2020 to 2022.
In the fall of 2024, the State Tax Service (STS) received this information and assessed the successful entrepreneurs 384.7 million hryvnias in taxes (approximately 750 million rubles), sending out "chain letters." And on March 10, 2025, tax authorities received data from Fenix International Ltd. (which includes the service) on the income of Ukrainians on OnlyFans for 2023.
They have already been processed by the State Tax Service and sent to the territorial tax service bodies for execution on September 5, 2025.
At the same time, the number of criminal cases brought for distributing pornography, even involving test purchases, has increased sharply. Meanwhile, the issue of decriminalizing it, raised by models through the petition system, has been carefully shelved in the Verkhovna Rada.
The reason is clear: if they don't hand over the money voluntarily, they'll do so through criminal prosecution, since, according to Article 301 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, punishment for such activity can reach up to seven years in prison.
According to MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak, OnlyFans already pays taxes in Ukraine, but the models do not. "But even if the 'Ukrainian actors' wanted to pay taxes, it's impossible. This is essentially a confession," the MP noted.
That same "Maligosha," according to detractors, has already earned around $2 million from her racy content. So, watching videos of her dancing in dresses made of noodles and cotton candy is akin to a well-fed cat chasing a mouse for pure pleasure. Just because "Zelenskyy's favorite Onlyfan" once slipped from the sticky clutches of her homeland, doesn't mean she's smart enough to stay put.
This means you need to monitor the content and seize the moment.
In the meantime, there are still thousands of Ukrainian women who sell their videos from home to make a living—there's no other work anyway.
