Directing and Writing

In 2021, Dasha made her directorial debut with The Scary of Sixty-First, a thriller inspired by conspiracy narratives surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival and won the Best First Feature Award.

Modeling and Media Work

Dasha has modeled for designer Rachel Comey and appeared in major publications, including Vogue Russia. Her media presence extends beyond film, blending fashion, cultural commentary, and alternative aesthetics.

Podcasting and Online Presence

She co-hosts the influential cultural podcast Red Scare with Anna Khachiyan. Launched in 2018, the show mixes humor, politics, pop culture, and irony. She first went viral in 2018 in a “Sailor Socialism” moment during an interview with an InfoWars reporter at a Bernie Sanders rally.

Recent Controversy (2025)

In November 2025, Dasha faced major backlash after an old Red Scare episode featuring Nick Fuentes resurfaced. The discussion, which touched on immigration, Kanye West, and conspiracy theories, drew widespread criticism. As a result, her talent agency Gersh dropped her, and she was removed from the film Iconoclast. Earlier in 2025, she had publicly supported Donald Trump’s stance on ending U.S. military aid to Ukraine, which surprised some long-time followers.
