Request for disambiguation — confusion with another person named Lucy Dudko
Latest comment: 6 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hello,This article is entirely about Lucy Zhdanova (formerly Dudko by marriage), convicted in the 1999 Australian helicopter prison escape case. After her divorce from Alex Dudko, under Australian law, she legally reverted to her maiden name Zhdanova and no longer has any legal right to the surname Dudko. She cannot prove by any current documents that she is "Lucy Dudko" today — her official surname is Zhdanova.I am a completely separate verified public figure: Lucy Dudko ( on X with blue checkmark Premium+, verified blue check accounts on Facebook and Instagram, supermodel, climate activist, Arnold's Pump Club member, mother of three severely disabled children from Kyrgyzstan). I have no criminal history or any connection to this case.The article causes severe confusion in Google Search and Grokipedia, mixing my identity with her criminal history. This harms my reputation, causes emotional distress to my family (my disabled children suffer through my stress), and increases phishing/impersonation risks — I was a direct victim of a phishing attack in November–December 2025 (fake site aguea.net impersonated me using my photos/name; police report filed in Kyrgyzstan; fakes removed on Instagram/Viber/YouTube).My verified profiles:
X: (blue checkmark)
Facebook and Instagram: verified blue check accounts (previously active with blue verification)
YouTube: Lucy Dudko channel
Please add a prominent disambiguation note at the top of the article:"This article is about Lucy Zhdanova (formerly Dudko by marriage), involved in the 1999 Australian helicopter escape case. There is a separate verified public figure Lucy Dudko ( on X with blue checkmark, verified on Facebook and Instagram), with no connection to this case."Or rename the article to "Lucy Zhdanova" to reflect her current legal name and avoid confusion.Thank you very much for your attention and help!
