'''Svetlana Pesotskaya''' (born [[9 January 1975]]) is a famous [[List of television reporters|television reporter]] fromin [[RussiaMoscow]]. She haswho gained wide domestic (as well as some international) attention for her practice of [[StrippingStriptease|stripping]] during her newscasts. Before becoming a television journalist, Pesotskaya was an [[actress]] and [[Fashion model|model]].

Pesotskaya was an [[List of actresses|actress]] and [[Fashion model|model]] before she got her job as a television journalist.

After [[Communism]], Russian television channels struggled to gain viewers because of low budgets and lack of programming. To attract viewers, the [[M1 (Russian TV channel)|M1 Network]] began experimenting in November 1999 with having Pesotskaya strip while delivering the news. The ratings soared and the show, renamed ''[[Golaya Pravda]]'' (''The Naked Truth''), became the most widely viewed news program in Russia. Pesotskaya took off her clothes on camera daily with a [[handbra|pair of hands, strategically placed]] as the only thing to preserve her decency.

After [[communism]], Russian [[television]] channels have struggled somewhat trying to keep on the air, because many of them only had old videos and made for television [[United States|American]] movies to show. Because of the consequencial television job unstability, many involved in the entertainment business in Russia have decided to attract viewers by showing more [[nudity]] on their shows. But so far, Pesotskaya is the only television news anchor in the world who is known to take off her clothes on camera, revealing her naked chest. She continues taking off her clothes until the news shows are over, taking off her skirt and occasionally crossing her arms over her exposed top. On one occasion, a member of parliament that she was interviewing took off his clothes in front of the television cameras as well, and another time, a dog got hold of her panties, leaving her wearing her brassiere only.

AtIn an [[MTV]] documentdocumentary about curious television moments, she was wrongly identified as '''Debra'Deborah Norvilovich'', (ora '''pun on [[Deborah''') '''Norvilovich'''Norville]].

Pesotskaya was hired by a struggling network, [[M1]], to work at their news show, ''[[Golaya Pravda]]'', which actually translates in [[English language]] to ''The Naked Truth''. Before her hiring, the show was having problems attracting viewers. After she joined, it became the most widely viewed news show in Russia. Her show also feaures a weather newswoman who takes off her clothes as she gives the day's forecast.
