Vika came to prominence as a Playboy model in Moscow.

AS CONCERT pianists and soccer stars are born, not trained, Vika was blessed with features created to be admired, but not in the glossy, artificial style of the past. Vika is the essence of the New Nude, natural, joyous, provocative, totally feminine, totally sexual.

From Playboy to Hegre.com to fashion shows across the world, Vika at 20 has been on a dizzying journey that for many girls would be too much to absorb and comprehend. But Vika remembers at all times who she is. She is centred, at peace with herself and never loses sight of the fact that it is the small pleasures like jogging, swimming and weekends in the country.

Vika has more work than she can handle right now, but plans when her modelling days diminish to train for a job in sports medicine.
