Moscow (CNN) -- In her previous life, Kseniya Sobchak bared her soul -- and a lot more -- as Russia's version of Paris Hilton, a socialite with her own reality show.
One installment of her 2008 production "A Blonde in Chocolate" featured her sprawled on the floor sporting white, stiletto-heeled boots, a slip and a fur wrap, looking as if she'd had a tough night on the town.
But even then, Sobchak tells CNN, she was a closet political junkie.
"During my Paris Hilton years," she says with a smile, "I was always saying that I'm better off in show business and better doing some stuff that people would call cheesy. But I wouldn't do something to betray my political tastes."
And political tastes she had. The daughter of political icon Anatoly Sobchak -- the former mayor of St. Petersburg who helped to launch Vladimir Putin's career in government back in the early 1990s -- is trying to transform herself into a political animal, a talking head, and an opponent of Putin.

Thanks klpt.
Looks much better there than when she was in “Fluke” mode.
One problem with many Russian women is that they do not age well. I knew a girl of Russian ethnicity who looked very much like that at 18. By 30 she had turned full babushka.
I’ll second that.
I don’t know, I’ve heard there are some pretty darn hot 30 yo Russian women...don’t ask how I know this ;-)
I tend to agree, many yrs ago dated a very attractive girl whose parents escaped Russia. 30 yrs later she looks like the WW2 peasant pics you see in history books.
I’ve been to Russia several times and I agree with this, but I think it is less genes and more the ubiquitous HEAVY use of alcohol and cigarettes.

I like your tag: 2012 Defeat Baraq; 2013 Deport Baraq....Clever
If you look real close, on her upper thigh, you will see a tattoo that says,”LOVE DONOZARK!”
Probably hopelessly optimistic thinking on the 2nd part but it’s fun.
Wow. No, she’s way more than Paris.
Hilton is a retard
She might want to compare herself with someone else.
Hold it. Waaaiiit just a minute.
You mean I’ve been spending my time with genetically diversified, corn fed, readily accessible, with actual modern birth control methods available, English speaking chicks when there are Russian girls TOO????
Hilton is odd-looking. You seldom see a straight on front view of her face. Usually 3/4s or so. It’s because her features are not symmetrical. Her eye sockets are outa whack!
