"The future first lady lies on top of furs in a negligee. Inside the magazine, Melania's sexy photos near a private plane and aboard the plane.

"In one of the shots, the model is wearing only her underwear, lying on a blue carpet with the U.S. seal, as though the editors of the men's magazine knew something in advance about the future of their model."

Commenting on the images, Julia Davis, founder of the Russia Media Monitor watchdog group, said: "Meanwhile in Russia: this is how the most watched state TV channel in the country welcomed Melania Trump's upcoming return to the White House.

Ms Trump, who was originally Slovenian, was a model for several years before she met Mr Trump.

She has stood behind her nude modelling in recent times, calling it a "celebration of the human form".
