Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly supported his country’s contestant Anna Linnikova, who is 22 years old.

Ukraine also participated in the annual Miss Universe pageant, which took place on January 14. in New Orleans.

Miss Ukraine Viktoria Apanasenko, 28, has called Russia wicked and cruel in recent weeks, while Russia’s representative prepared a costume for the pageant she called “Crown for the Russian Empire”.

According to the sources, the Kremlin has instructed all pro-Putin news agencies to actively support A. Linnikov before the contest.

Ukraine was reportedly unhappy that America had issued a visa to the Russian representative for the competition.

As the beauty pageant approached, the representative of Ukraine said: “It is very important not to stop talking about the war. We must support our armed forces. We need the support of other countries to save the lives of our people and stop Russian atrocities. I realize that I am the ambassador of Ukraine in the international arena at this difficult, terrible time. Well, I am Ukrainian, we are brave, strong and determined. No matter what happens, I believe that together we can overcome the evil that has come to our land.”

A. Linnikova, who represents Russia in the “Miss World 2023” contest, dreamed of winning the favor of America, says her ex-boyfriend Artiomas Žuravliova. A. Žuravliovas, who works as a model and producer, left his homeland to avoid mobilization.

A. Linnikova’s national costume was in the style of clothes of the tsars of the Romanov era, inspired by the luxurious dress and crown of Empress Alexandra Romanova, the wife of Tsar Nicholas II (the last Russian monarch).

“This is a luxurious dress embroidered with Swarovski beads, I think there will be about 1,000 of them,” the Russian representative told reporters.

She did not feel any tension due to the fact that Russia was banned from practically all international competitions, and she did not want to mention the war in Ukraine at all.

“No, I feel positive,” she said. – I am glad that Russia is participating in the international competition. I believe in my strengths and hope to win.

Last year, after becoming Miss Russia, A. Linnikova said she wanted to use the opportunity to draw public attention to social problems; she did not answer questions about the war in Ukraine.
