Victoria Zdrok

Victoria Zdrok is a certifiable sex symbol, earning the title of Play..boy Play..mate in 1994 then being named Penthouse's Pet of the Year in 2004. Victoria Zdrok (Victoria Nika Zelenetskaya) was born in Kiev, Ukraine (ex Soviet Union) on March 3, 1973. The daughter of a photojournalist and a university professor, Victoria chafed against the repressive Soviet system as she was growing up. At age 9, she demonstrated her defiance by destroying part of her school uniform during a state-sponsored ceremony at her school. While this left a black mark on her record, Victoria persevered in her studies and eventually made headlines when she became, at age 16, the first Soviet teenager to come to the United States as part of an exchange program. Her 1989 trip came about thanks as much, no doubt, to glasnost as to her excellent grades. Victoria was eager to take advantage of her historic opportunity, and she quickly graduated from Pensacola Junior College at age 17. In order to stay in America, she married an Alexander Zdrok in October of 1990, then began studies at Pennsylvania's West Chester University. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree at age 18, graduating with a 3.96 GPA. Her academic efforts paid off, and Victoria was accepted into a highly competitive joint law/psychology doctorate program hosted by Villanova University and Hahnemann Medical School. Within the next following months, Victoria found herself in Playboy magazine as Miss October 1994. Since then she has appeared in numerous foreign issues of Playboy Magazine, crowned as Philadelphia's "Best Beauty", gracing the covers of and being profiled inside "Philadelphia" magazine's August 1994 and May 1995 issues, featured numerous times on "Entertainment Tonight", "Extra!", "American Journal", "Hard Copy", "Inside Edition", "The Howard Stern Show", "AM Philadelphia", "Last Call" and other TV shows. Today Victoria resides in New York and keeps busy with her modeling career as well as working as an attorney and studying for her doctoral dissertation in clinical psychology. She is not only a stylish beauty, but also a versatile and active woman: She is an attorney in New York and works as glamour model, appearing in fashion catalogs. She is one of the few models who have been in both Playboy and Penthouse magazine, as also did Deanna Baker, Ursula Buchfellner, Teri Weigel and Lynn Thomas (However, only Victoria and Lynn Thomas have been both Playmates and Pets of the Month). At only age 9, showed her defiance to the strict Soviet school system, by cutting her red tie (part of her school uniform) at her school's "Young Pioneers" ceremony. The tie represented the Soviet banner, and it was huge blackmark on her record. The most intellectual of the Playmates, daughter of a photojournalist and a university professor, speaks five foreign languages and was ranked as one of the top students of her class.
