Russian ex-Bolshoi ballerina faces fine for baring all in Maldives

Russian ex-Bolshoi Theatre ballet star Anastasia Volochkova, who posed nude on a Maldives beach, may face a penalty ranging from a warning to a fine, a tourist operator said on Friday.

On Tuesday, Volochkova posted nude photos on her blog addressed: "To those who like it hot!"



"Dear paparazzi, just for you! You're hunting for us, stars, trying to take pictures of our pants, and even better to catch us without them. As if we have something others do not. NU, look!"

Maldiviana tour operator Lyudmila Mostovaya said it was not clear yet what type of punishment could be given to Volochkova, who is still vacationing in the Islamic country. Tez Tour director Alexander Burtin suggested she would get off with a warning.

I couldn't find her blog, but I did find the photos.
