Olga Vladimirovna Skabeyeva (Russian: О́льга Владимировна Скабе́ева; born December 11, 1984) is a Russian television host and political commentator.[1] Skabeyeva received the nickname "iron doll of Putin TV" due to her criticism of the Russian opposition.[2][3]

Skabeyeva was born December 11, 1984, in Volzhsky, Volgograd Oblast, Soviet Union[4] where she graduated from high school. In the tenth grade she decided to become a journalist.[3] She studied at the Faculty of Journalism at St. Petersburg State University, which she graduated with honors in 2008.[5][6] Her journalistic career began in the local newspaper.[3][4]

She came to prominence in 2012–2013 with her coverage of the Pussy riot trial, the surge in anti-government rallies at the time and subsequent criminal investigations into the activities of Russian opposition supporters. Her critical reports about the Russian opposition prompted TV critic  [Wikidata] to describe her as a member of Russian state TV's "special operation forces", and her tone as "prosecutorial and accusatory".[2]

In 2015–2016 she led the author's program Vesti.doc on the Russia 1 TV channel.[3] Since September 12, 2016, together with her husband Yevgeny Popov, she has been conducting a 60 Minutes social and political talk show on Russia 1, announced as a discussion program on high-profile topics.[7][8]

In 2018 Skabeyeva was noted in an attempt to discredit British investigation of poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal.[9][10] At her television program it was said that the Skripal's poising case is 'an elaborate British plot to smear Russia'.

According to the results of an investigation by the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), published on July 29, 2021, Skabeyeva and her husband Yevgeny Popov own real estate in Moscow with a total value of more than 300 million rubles ($4 million).[11][12] According to the investigation of The Insider published in 2020, Skabeyeva officially earns 12.8 million rubles a year and her husband earns 12.9 million rubles a year.[13][14] The only sources of income are the state-owned media holding All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company and its subsidiary TV channel Russia.[13][15]

Two-time winner of the TEFI Award (2017, 2018).[16]
