The Beauty of Russia finals were held in the Russian resort city of Sochi on Wednesday, with 52 gorgeous women from across the country competing.
The beauties presented themselves to the public and the jury in swimsuits and national costumes and showed their talents, after which the awards were given in several nominations.
The title of the main beauty was awarded to 22-year-old Ekaterina Romanova, who represented the Kemerovo region in southwestern Siberia. The crown made of silver with gold and decorated with semi-precious stones, which is a circulating award, was presented to her by last year's winner Daria Lukonkina.
Romanova will thus represent Russia at the Miss Earth international pageant in 2024.
