About Svetlana Pesotskaya
- Svetlana Pesotskaya (born 9 January 1975) is a television reporter in Moscow who gained international attention for her practice of stripping during newscasts.
- Before becoming a television journalist, Pesotskaya was an actress and model. After Communism, Russian television channels struggled to gain viewers because of low budgets and lack of programming.
- To attract viewers, the 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 pair of hands, strategically placed as the only thing to preserve her decency. In an MTV documentary about curious television moments, she was wrongly identified as Deborah Norvilovich, a pun on Deborah Norville.
