Dr. Victoria Nika Zdrok (born 3 March 1973 in Kiev, Soviet Union) is a "Playboy" Playmate, "Penthouse" Pet of the Year, a star of elaborate adult videos, an attorney, a clinical psychologist, sex therapist and former goodwill ambassador.

As a child in the former Soviet Union, Victoria listened to Voice of America on her father's clandestine radio and diligently studied English with the hope of one day coming to America. In 1989, at the age of 16, she was honored as the first Soviet teenager allowed to come to the U.S. as a foreign exchange student. She arrived on an academic scholarship, as she describes it, as "a sort of ambassador of goodwill and perestroika and glasnost."Fact|date=July 2007

She was crowned Philadelphia's "Best Beauty" in August 1994. She has appeared in videos, movies, talk shows and magazines. She became October 1994's "Playboy" Playmate of the Month. In an interview, Zdrok claimed she would have been selected Playmate of the Year over Julie Lynn Cialini except for false rumors Zdrok said were circulated about her. [ [http://www.deansplanet.com/interviews_victoria_zdrok.html DeansPlanet.Com <- The Greatest Website Of All Time -> Dean S. Planet Interviews Penthouse Pet & Playboy Playmate Victoria Zdrok ] ]

She posed for "Penthouse" in June 2002 as their Pet of the Month, because "the unabashed, in-your-face sexuality that "Penthouse" has" appealed to her more than Playboy did.Fact|date=August 2008 In 2004, at the age of 30, she was named Penthouse Pet of the Year. She is the second woman, after Linn Thomas, to be both a "Playboy" Playmate and a "Penthouse" Pet.

At one point, she dated Prince Albert II of Monaco.Fact|date=June 2007

As of mid-2007, Zdrok is involved in writing the books "The Naked Truth: Confessions of Centerfolds and Those Who Love Them", about the centerfold industry, and a book on the psychology of sexual fantasy. In addition to writing a monthly column in Penthouse magazine she has just had her new books "Anatomy of Pleasure" and "Dr. Z on Scoring: How to Pick Up, Seduce and Hook Up With Hot Women" published.

Marriage to Alexander

As a seventeen-year-old foreign exchange student, she sought legal advice as to how to extend her student visa, and chose a well-known Philadelphia lawyer, Alexander Zdrok, because he spoke fluent Russian. Alexander was more than twice her age at thirty-seven, twice married, and twice divorced. Also, unknown to her at the time, he was representing mob boss John Stanfa, who eventually was sentenced to prison in 1995.Fact|date=June 2007 Alexander subsequently proposed that Victoria marry him to get a green card and to permanently stay in America. Victoria and Alexander married in Las Vegas on October 26, 1990.

Divorce

Alexander Zdrok was disbarred by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 1991 for forgery and deception. He was abusive to Victoria, once being arrested and jailed. There were purported threats from her husband's Mafia connections. In 1996, now 23 years old, Victoria sought a divorce. By this time a sought-after model, Victoria divorced with an agreement to pay her ex-husband 15% of all her future earnings from "pictorials, television, national and international films" and related ventures for ten years after their divorce.Fact|date=February 2007

In January 2001, Alexander sued her for monetary damages under the agreement, which Victoria now claimed was invalid. She also sought to seal the trial, but the court declined to do so. Victoria appealed and lost this issue. On December 9, 2003, she settled with Alexander for US$50,000. Afterwards, her ex-husband’s lawyer, Elliot Goldberg, expressed disappointment over not being able to reveal intimate details about Victoria.

In March 2004, after Victoria was named Penthouse Pet of the Year, Alexander again sued to overturn the most recent settlement. The judge chastised Alexander for filing the suit.
