She's the face behind some of Russia's sharpest state television, known for defending the Kremlin line with enough force to earn the nickname "Iron Doll of Putin's TV" - a label tied to her treatment of opposition voices and her public backing of the war in Ukraine.

Born 11 December 1984, Olga Vladimirovna Skabeyeva came up through Russian television as a presenter and political commentator. Her profile rose as she aligned closely with state messaging, particularly her criticism of opposition figures and unwavering support for the Putin government. The nickname "Iron Doll of Putin's TV" stuck as her on-air style hardened. When Russia launched its war against Ukraine, she became one of the most visible voices defending it on screen - a role that cemented her reputation as a government propagandist in the eyes of critics and a loyal anchor in the eyes of the state.
