MOSCOW: Aged 18, Julia Polyachihina, claimed the coveted title of Miss Russia after winning the beauty pageant held in the country’s capital.
With the title already in her name, she also won a cash prize of three million RUB (£33,780) and a new car.
A student of journalism Julia will now go on to represent Russia at the Miss World and Miss Universe beauty contests.
