Without Russia, the world couldn’t enjoy the Bolshoi ballet, blinis, and Matryoshka dolls. Speaking of stacking dolls, we can’t forget to add stacked doll Yuliya Snigir to this list. The brainy beauty was a chess prodigy who won the title of Chess Master while still in her teens. But rather than become a much hotter version of Bobby Fisher, Yuliya abandoned her chess pursuits to attend State Pedagogical University in Moscow. There, she began working as a professional model and became the face of L’Oreal in Russia. Ms. Snigir then parlayed her fine features and fit figure into an acting career. The brunette bombshell exploded onto the big screen in the sci-fi sagas The Inhabited Island (2008) and The Inhabited island: Skirmish (2009). By 2013, the exotic ingénue made her English-language debut in the Die Hard (1988) sequel A Good Day to Die Hard (2013) opposite Bruce Willis. Even though we were dying for Yuliya to be nude, she still made us hard in her bra and stockings. Indeed, it seemed the only thing she was willing to reveal was her range as she co-starred in the American thriller Freezer (2014) and the Russian rom-com About Love (2015). The statuesque stunner also lent her sexy presence to television as the titular character in Channel One’s historical miniseries Catherine the Great (2015). Yet U.S. audiences may better recognize Yuliya for her revealing role in the HBO show The New Pope (2020) — for which she bared her beautiful breasts in the bath. Amen to that!
