Victoria Zdrok's Profile and Biography,aslo include Victoria Zdrok's pictures,videos etc.

Victoria Zdrok

Victoria Zelenetskaya was born in Kiev, Ukraine (then part of the 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.

Victoria's academic career was put on hold in October of 1994, when she became Play..boy's Play..mate of the Month. This wouldn't be a one-time event; Victoria went on to appear in dozens of Play..boy foreign editions, special editions and catalogs. In spite of the regular shoots, Victoria never quite felt at home in the Hugh Hefner's world. "I refused to drop my education to go and hang out at the mansion. That's how a lot of the girls in Play..boy get ahead." Elaborating further, Victoria revealed: "I think Hef feels intimidated by intelligent women."

In 1996, Victoria divorced her husband, and two years later she became one of the first adult models to start a website (planetvictoria.com) featuring her own exclusive photos and videos. The late '90s saw Victoria star in a number of straight-to-video softcore movies, including Star of Jaipur (1998), The Seven Spiritual Laws of Sex (1999) and Centerfold Coeds: Girlfriends (2000).

In 2002, Victoria ditched Play..boy for good, becoming a Penthouse Pet instead. In doing so, she became only the second woman, after Linn Thomas, to land both titles. In June of 2003, Victoria reached another milestone, earning her Ph.D. in clinical psychology after 11 years of hard work.

All of Victoria's achievements were overshadowed the following year, when she found herself caught up in a nasty court battle with her ex-husband over their 1996 divorce settlement. He claimed that she was under-representing her earnings; she countered that she had been pressured into their former agreement, and that her website was losing money due to Internet piracy. The case was settled when an in-court settlement was enforced.

Even in the midst of her legal turmoil, not everything was going badly for Victoria. She was chosen as 2004's Penthouse Pet of the Year, and went on tour to promote the magazine. She also became an author, putting her psychological expertise to work in writing The Anatomy of Pleasure: The Head to Toe Guide to Better Sex. Victoria continues to live in and work out of New York.
