New countries, other beauties

In just over twenty years of independence of Ukraine and Russia, each country has founded its own national beauty contest.
After the fall of the iron wall and the arrival of foreign works of art, our beauties saw that one should not be ashamed of one’s attractiveness, but on the contrary, cuteness can give a lucky ticket in life. Beauty pageants have become very popular, and to get the crown, participants often resort to “unsporting” methods - involving influential parents or wealthy boyfriends.

Today I would like to remember the brightest winners of two beauty contests in two countries and find out whether winning the crown brought happiness to the girls.

Miss Behind the Iron Curtain

As you know, there was no sex in the Soviet Union, just like fashion competitions.
There was only love for the party and hard work. But be that as it may, the breath of fresh air that entered the country of the Iron Curtain brought with it many changes, including the appearance of beauty contests. The first “Moscow Beauty” competition, which was held in 1988 in Moscow, gave the cinema world Oksana Fander, Maria Kalinina and many others. The first contestants were uptight, a little awkward and slightly provocatively dressed. They looked shyly into the hall and felt awkward. After all, in a shock country it was not customary to walk around in colorful outfits and show off with bright makeup, because someone at that moment was exceeding the plan for the next five-year plan.

The title did not bring happiness to all Soviet beauties. Some got married successfully, others made film careers; someone went abroad, and someone disappeared in the rubble of a huge country.

An excerpt characterizing Golovanov, Elizaveta Igorevna

A mental wound that comes from a rupture of the spiritual body, just like a physical wound, no matter how strange it may seem, after a deep wound has healed and seems to have come together at its edges, a mental wound, like a physical one, heals only from the inside with the bulging force of life. Natasha’s wound healed in the same way. She thought her life was over. But suddenly love for her mother showed her that the essence of her life - love - was still alive in her. Love woke up and life woke up. The last days of Prince Andrei connected Natasha with Princess Marya. The new misfortune brought them even closer together. Princess Marya postponed her departure and for the last three weeks, like a sick child, she looked after Natasha. The last weeks Natasha spent in her mother’s room had strained her physical strength. One day, Princess Marya, in the middle of the day, noticing that Natasha was trembling with a feverish chill, took her to her place and laid her on her bed. Natasha lay down, but when Princess Marya, lowering the curtains, wanted to go out, Natasha called her over. – I don’t want to sleep. Marie, sit with me. – You’re tired, try to sleep. - No no. Why did you take me away? She will ask. - She's much better. “She spoke so well today,” said Princess Marya. Natasha lay in bed and in the semi-darkness of the room looked at the face of Princess Marya. “Does she look like him? – thought Natasha. – Yes, similar and not similar. But she is special, alien, completely new, unknown. And she loves me. What's on her mind? All is good. But how? What does she think? How does she look at me? Yes, she is beautiful." “Masha,” she said, timidly pulling her hand towards her. - Masha, don’t think that I’m bad. No? Masha, my dear. I love you so much. We will be completely, completely friends. And Natasha, hugging and kissing the hands and face of Princess Marya. Princess Marya was ashamed and rejoiced at this expression of Natasha’s feelings. From that day on, that passionate and tender friendship that only happens between women was established between Princess Marya and Natasha. They kissed constantly, spoke tender words to each other and spent most of their time together. If one went out, then the other was restless and hurried to join her. The two of them felt greater agreement among themselves than apart, each with herself. A feeling stronger than friendship was established between them: it was an exceptional feeling of the possibility of life only in the presence of each other. Sometimes they were silent for hours; sometimes, already lying in bed, they began to talk and talked until the morning. They talked mostly about the distant past. Princess Marya talked about her childhood, about her mother, about her father, about her dreams; and Natasha, who had previously turned away with calm incomprehension from this life, devotion, humility, from the poetry of Christian self-sacrifice, now, feeling herself bound by love with Princess Marya, fell in love with Princess Marya’s past and understood a side of life that was previously incomprehensible to her. She did not think of applying humility and self-sacrifice to her life, because she was accustomed to looking for other joys, but she understood and fell in love with this previously incomprehensible virtue in another. For Princess Marya, listening to stories about Natasha’s childhood and early youth, a previously incomprehensible side of life, faith in life, in the pleasures of life, also opened up.
