Recently the beautiful women from the Ural region have been taking most of the awards.

Even this year there were three girls from the Ural region who took part in the competition. In addition to Popova, who represented the Sverdlovsk region, there was

Elizaveta Anikhovskaya from Ekaterinburg and Elizaveta Savicheva from the city of Berezovsky.

For the third year in a row, the title of “Miss Russia” has gone to girls from the Urals Federal District.

Popova received the award from the winner of last year's contest Yana Dobrovolskaya, representing Tyumen and before her, the most beautiful Russian girl was a native of Ekaterinburg, Sofia Nikitchuk.

“The whole of the Urals must be renowned because the beautiful Yana Dobrovolskaya was the winner last year and she represented Tyumen. It is very nice to know that Ural is recognized and celebrated,” Popova said.
