Following Donald Trump’s recent election victory, Russian state TV channel Rossiya 1 aired nude photos of Melania Trump from her modeling career.
Caught Global Attention
The images were shown on the popular talk show 60 Minutes, hosted by Olga Skabeeva and her husband, Evgeny Popov.
During the broadcast, the hosts discussed Melania’s background, displaying the images as part of their coverage of Trump’s return to the political spotlight, according to Hotnews.
The broadcast caught global attention when journalist Julia Davis, who runs the Russia Media Monitor account, posted a clip of the segment on the social media platform X.
Davis commented, “Meanwhile in Russia: this is how the country’s most-watched state TV channel greeted Melania Trump’s potential return to the White House.”
She also pointed out Skabeeva’s attempts to hold back laughter during the segment.
Posing Nude
As Popov spoke, a large screen behind him displayed clips of Donald and Melania Trump together at a recent rally, followed by images from a 2000 GQ photo shoot.
In one photo, Melania is seen posing nude on Trump’s private Boeing 727 jet, which he owned before upgrading to a larger plane.
Popov described the images in detail, including one where Melania posed on furs wearing a negligee, calling her “the future First Lady.”
Melania Trump, born in Slovenia as Melanija Knavs, moved to the United States in the 1990s to pursue a modeling career.
She met Donald Trump in 1998, and they married in 2005 at a high-profile ceremony in Florida. As First Lady from 2017 to 2021, Melania focused on initiatives for children’s well-being, including anti-bullying efforts.
