Nailya Vagif kyzy Asker-zade[a] (born 13 December 1987 in Baku[1]) is a Russian journalist and television presenter of Azerbaijani descent. She works for the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK).[2]
In 2019, the Anti-Corruption Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, published an investigation into Asker-zade's finances, alleging her use of a US$60 million private jet and a US$62 million yacht. Asker-zade responded on Instagram by thanking the foundation for its "native advertising".[3]
The United Kingdom and Canada sanctioned Asker-zade for her work with the VGTRK after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2]
