An ex-police official sacked for a naked Playboy shoot says she has started a new job as a tour company manager.
Anna Anufrieva, 27, was given the axe by the local Russian police department she worked in after the pictures surfaced last year.

Ms Anufrieva, who lives in the city of Tyumen in the south-western Russian region of Tyumen Oblast, decided to take part in a contest for Playboy magazine and finished second.
But the images riled her employers, who responded by giving her the chop.
After losing her job, Ms Anufrieva found it hard to find a new employer due to the online images and she soon fell on hard times.

She said she was even struggling to keep up her mortgage payments, according to local media in Vladimir Putin's state.
But now Ms Anufrieva has announced that she has a new job.
She took to social media, telling followers she will be "helping people organise their dream holiday".
Ms Anufrieva said: "In January, I started work at a tour company.

"I love my new job, where I work as a manger and help people organise their dream holiday, it is so inspiring.
“I did not like my previous job, it was so boring, but now I’ve found myself.”
She added that the scandal surrounding her Playboy photoshoot is now firmly in the past as she looks to move on with her life.
A few months ago, Ms Anufrieva also said that she was forced to sell her flat due to lack of funds and having no employment.
