21. Yana Dobrovolskaya, Miss Russia 2016

Elizaveta Golovanova – famous model in 2012, she won the Miss Russia 2012 beauty contest, and at the Miss Universe contest, held the same year, the girl entered the top ten most beautiful participants. For her young age (she is only 23 years old) this is a major achievement, because most of The Russian Federation knows Elizabeth and admires her. So, how did the fate and personal life of Elizaveta Golovanova turn out after her dizzying victories? Does Elizabeth have a husband? Let's try to find out.
Where did it all begin?
The girl's homeland - Smolensk region, she was born into a family medical workers: Mom specializes in ultrasound diagnostics, and my father works as the head of one of the departments. Their daughter dispelled all the myths that a girl cannot be both beautiful and smart, because Elizaveta Golovanova was a brilliant student, to her credit Golden medal at school and a diploma with honors at the university (she studied at the Moscow State University of Transport, Faculty of Law). She didn’t stop there, but decided to get a second higher education at the Faculty of History of Moscow state university. As a child, the little girl was interested in music and graduated from music school with honors.
Interestingly, the path in the modeling business began with a victory in a competition in Smolensk called “Miss Vetrenitsa”, which took place in 2008.
The Russian beauty has something to boast about among her competitors: 89 girls took part in the Miss Universe competition, and only one Elizaveta shone natural beauty, natural hair and the absence of plastic interventions. At the competition itself, Elizaveta Golovanova was unable to arrange her personal life - the girls were controlled in every possible way and kept under strict discipline. And, as the model admits, such a goal was not pursued; career came first.
Despite the tight schedule, work, study, the star is active social life– takes part in charity events and activities. What’s interesting is that she helps not only with material donations, but also with active actions. For example, she assisted in cleaning up garbage on the Angara. Worthy of respect!
Quite a lot of time has passed since the victory and in one of the interviews Lisa says that she has matured externally and internally. Now she knows what she wants, sees the goal and steps towards it.
Personal secrets of the model
As for the personal life of Elizaveta Golovanova, she notes that for her the most important thing in life is family and love. Without sparkle in the eyes and an inspired state, it is very difficult to live, but to build own family The girl is not going yet. Perhaps she has a young man, in various interviews Lisa hints at this, but to admit who this a mysterious stranger no plans at the moment. “This is a very intimate topic,” the model smiles, “The time will come and everyone will know about everything.” You won’t find any evidence on social networks either – there are critically few photographs of men, and the ones you rarely come across are relatives and friends.
Yours free time, which appears so rarely, Lisa spends with her family. “This leisure time with my parents and brother is great. I love coming up with something interesting to amuse and entertain them, I often arrange surprises and give gifts. It's so nice when your family is happy. Best feeling!" — Miss Russia shares. Elizaveta Golovanova does not have her own children yet, but she loves them very much.
Who is Alexander?
Every woman on Globe- a beauty, regardless of weight, age, height, hair color or clothing preferences. A woman is beautiful simply because she gives life and brings love. But some ladies want to have documentary proof of their attractiveness - a title and a crown.
History of beauty
The very first beauty pageant has its roots in Ancient Greece. It is not for nothing that Aphrodite is called the most beautiful of the goddesses. Do you just think so? She honestly received this title by competing with Hera and Athena.Well, in ancient China it was even more fun. Having chosen the most beautiful girl, she was sacrificed to the deity in a solemn ceremony.
In some countries, the criteria were, to put it mildly, erotic - a beauty was chosen by the size of her buttocks or by the appearance of her naked body.
But seriously, modern competition Miss World was founded in 1951 and Miss Universe in 1952. Miss World began as a show of bikini-clad beauties and was intended to be a one-time event. But suddenly the competition became popular and is still going on.
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, take a sip. fresh air who got into the country iron curtain, brought with it many changes, including the emergence of beauty contests.The first Moscow Beauty competition, which took place in 1988 in Moscow, gave the film world Oksana Fandera, 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.
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 they should not be ashamed of their attractiveness, but on the contrary - cuteness can give a lucky ticket in life. Beauty pageants have become very popular, and in order to get the crown, participants often resort to “unsportsmanlike” 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 Russia
The first Miss Russia competition was held in 1993..
The winner was Anna Baychik. For several years she posed for magazines and walked the catwalk, but then she realized that this was not her occupation and plunged into science, defended her PhD thesis, became a teacher and wrote many scientific articles.
In 1996, the winner of the Russian national competition was Alexandra Petrova. She didn’t even hope to win, but her beauty left neither the judges nor the audience indifferent. She attracted men like a magnet. At the age of 18 she began living with businessman Konstantin Chuvilin. But neither numerous invitations from fashion agencies nor an affair with an influential man brought her happiness. She became a victim of criminal squabbles and was shot dead together with her partner near her entrance, two days before her 20th birthday.
The winner of the Miss Russia crown in 1998 was Anna Malova. At the Miss Universe competition, the girl entered the top 10, and this was already great achievement. She left for the USA and had quite a good modeling career. But either the busy schedule or success played a cruel joke on her. Anna was arrested more than once for possession of narcotic drugs and was even sent for forced treatment.
The most famous Russian Miss was Oksana Fedorova in 2001. She became the winner of the Miss Universe competition. The beauty refused to fulfill her duties, citing the defense of her PhD thesis as the reason for this decision, and for this she lost her title. There is an assumption, of course, unconfirmed, that there is a trace of drug lords in this decision, because it was in favor of the Latin American runner-up that the Russian woman refused the title.
Now Fedorova is a successful presenter, singer and mother.
Victoria Lopyreva ahead of other participants in the competition in 2003. She did not take part in international competitions and received no other awards. But that didn't stop her from doing successful career TV presenter.
Another famous beauty Tatyana Kotova won in 2006. She took part in other competitions, but did not receive any awards. She is best known for her participation in the popular group ViaGra.
The winner of the crown in 2007 was Ksenia Sukhinova from Tyumen. In 2008, she won the Miss World competition.
Another bright Miss Russia, who entered the top 10 at the Miss Universe competition in 2012, is Elizaveta Golovanova.
Miss Ukraine
In Ukraine, there are two parallel beauty contests - Miss Ukraine and Miss Ukraine-Universe. Miss Ukraine dates back to 1988. Miss Ukraine-Universe has been taking place in Ukraine since 1995, and its winners represent our country at the Miss Universe competition. Let's compare whether our most bright beauties compete with Russian Miss title holders in your country.The first winner of the Ukrainian beauty contest in 1991 was Olga Ovcharenko. Today she lives in the USA, has her own company, which is engaged in architecture, and raises children.
Not all crown holders had an easy fate. Winner 1994 Theresia Lazarenko I buried my beloved boyfriend, then my husband. She even worked as a gas station attendant and went to work abroad.
The most famous winner of the Miss Ukraine contest in the mid-90s is Vlada Kerdina. Today we know her as Vlada Litovchenko. She is as beautiful as she was 20 years ago. Today she is known as the founder and head of the Karin modeling agency. Vlada won the competition in 1995.
The winners of 1996, 1997 married millionaires. The winners of the crown in 1998, 1999 and 2000 have arranged their personal lives, have a favorite business, but have moved away from the modeling business.
The most titled Miss - Alexandra Nikolaenko. She is Miss Ukraine, Miss Ukraine-Universe. Alexandra represented her country at the Miss Universe 2004 competition, where she entered the top 10. She surpassed her competitors in her personal life by marrying a billionaire. Now she is the president of the Miss Ukraine-Universe competition.
Many of the winners of the following years had similar destinies: they successfully got married, some became mothers, some had their own business. Only a few continued their careers in the modeling business.
Another famous holder of the title of the most beautiful girl is Inna Tsymbalyuk.
She took part in international competition and entered the top 20. Today she is a successful TV presenter.
Christina Kotz-Gottlieb known to us from the ViaGra group. She won the competition in 2009.
The winner of Miss Ukraine-Universe Olesya Stefanko became the first vice-miss at the international competition. This is for now best achievement for our country.
As you know, beauty will save the world. I would like the beauty of our misses to be not only external.
Many young beauties think that winning a beauty contest will give them a chance for a successful marriage or career. But it is worth remembering that in cruel world fashion has many temptations and dangers, and the guy next door may turn out to be a thousand times better than the richest businessman!
One of them was called Russian Rapunzel, a girl from a fairy tale, the owner of a “fairytale, eternal beauty" and "cat features".
Another rival contestant for “Miss Russia” was nicknamed “forest beauty”, and foreign connoisseurs dubbed her the same Rapunzel.
One was born in 1987, the other in 1993.
Ruslana Korshunova, an iconic Russian model originally from Kazakhstan, mysterious death which still excites minds, jumped out of the window of her New York apartment.
Elizaveta Golovanova, winner of the title Miss Russia 2012, one of the top 10 at Miss Universe, is alive, studying, working, living a non-public, intelligent, verified life.
Meanwhile, despite the difference in destinies, there are parallels in the biographies of the girls.
Elizaveta is what could happen to Ruslana if she found herself in a different reality and if her character turned out to be different.
Here's what they say about them.
Ruslana:
In the military town where they lived, Ruslana constantly played the Snow Maiden. Santa Clauses were embarrassed soldiers. The matinees were always a great success...
In order for her daughter to receive a good education, Valentina transferred her to special school No. 18 with in-depth study of the German language.
Ruslana goes to a school for especially gifted students, teaches German, plays the piano, takes singing lessons. And she has floor-length hair. They are her mother's dream and she takes care of them. Until Ruslana turned 16, she never washed her hair herself.
Eva Becher brought 14-year-old Ruslana into the modeling business.
- I saw her in the German center, where we studied the language together. And I just couldn’t take my eyes off it, it’s so cute, Beautiful face“says Eva, who herself once tried herself as a model. - She offered to appear for my magazine.
Only after Eva promised that her new hobby would not affect her studies and that Ruslana would not take any nude photos did her mother give in. By the way, the new mentor kept her word. Ruslana graduated from high school with only one B - in physics. I read Goethe and Schiller in the original.
Lisa:
- Since childhood, she has been smart and beautiful. She started talking when she was one year old. At three - read and sing songs. She graduated from school with a gold medal, and now she has the highest rating at the institute! We knew that she would be the one to win. Because she’s very stubborn: she always achieves what she wants,” says Lisa’s mother.
Elizaveta Golovanova was born in the regional center of Safonovo, where she graduated with honors from a music school in piano, a general education school with a gold medal, and was interested in English language, participated in various Olympiads, did fitness, went to Gym. Favorite writer - Victor Hugo.
Especially for her thick hair in Smolensk they came up with the “Miss Anemone” competition, of which Lisa became the winner. They prophesied her fate successful model, but the girl refused in favor of a serious education - as her father advised.
What do we see? Both girls were born in the deep provinces, both studied languages, music, were known for unusually long hair, and possessed the fragile purity inherent in special girls, in whom sensuality is so transparent that it more expresses the subtle essence of dawn than the blossoming of flesh. Both, by the way, loved naive girlish poetry.
Both have a completely extraordinary texture, which can be called the quintessence of Russian spring, an avatar of Lelya, the youngest woman in labor in Slavic myths.
Chiseled cheekbones, a bright look, a clear pattern of naturally sculpted, expressive lips, a thoroughbred neat nose, an exceptionally beautiful forehead, profile, beautiful head position, porcelain skin and a shock luxurious hair, the uncertain lines of a body stretched out too quickly - that’s what unites them. But there are also differences.
Ruslana was wild child, a flower, wild at heart, smiling and spontaneous, pure, impetuous, touching in her shyness. She knew three languages. After graduating from school, she received an international diploma. I picked up animals. I didn't give in to glamour. I felt sorry for my girlfriends. She was going to enter the Sorbonne or Harvard, saving the money she earned through honest labor. She had gentle, cheerful almond-shaped fox eyes, with sharp corners, light and sparkling.
Lisa is strict and closed, intelligent and purposeful, studies at two universities, a perfectionist, writes clearly and to the point, does not maintain public Instagram accounts. Her look gray eyes, framed by velvet eyelashes, is dark and attractive. At 18, her eyes expressed kindness, now her gaze is proud, regal, and intelligent.
IN Last year Ruslana lost a lot of weight before her periods stopped. She cut her hair. Removed a beautiful spot on my cheek. She kept a diary on Odnoklassniki, filling it with dried leaves and poems about unearthly love, called herself a witch, and called on her to “live fast and kiss slowly.” Model business ate it as a meal. From 16 to 20 - a seemingly insignificant period. She didn't live to see 21.
After winning a national competition at the age of 18, Lisa, with her huge chestnut braid thrown over her shoulder and regal posture, amazed interviewers. Male TV presenters could only blink their eyes in delight, unable to restrain a jubilant smile, because Lisa embodied the deity, Morena\Alive\Persephone, and mortals were unable to cope with the dance of genetic memory. Women were divided in two, not understanding whether to envy or worship.
Legends are still made about Ruslan, books are written, trying to justify suicide. Ruslana is akin to the morning crown shining through the rays, her individuality is diffused in nature, like the ringing of dew-filled flowers.
Elizabeth, the goddess of the earth's bowels and ore veins, the mistress of the copper mountain, gives the human race from her bounty. She was a princess, but she became a queen, young, scarlet, proudly carrying a heavy crown of braids.
Such girls do not necessarily become famous. I met them in everyday life: with rare quality hair, regular features, watercolor color type. They are all subtly similar, but each is an individuality, expressing a special tone of Russian beauty. Foreign languages, music, dance, science, honors studies, early development - everything comes easy to them. It is not difficult to imagine them in the attire of a fairy-tale princess, in which pure beauty will open with the aroma of an evening flower. An aura of perfection shines around them, forcing people to retreat in a half-bow, treating them with careful, attentive love, like a precious painting or the first lily of the valley.
