Miss Russia (Russian: Мисс Россия, romanized: Miss Rossiya) is a national beauty pageant in Russia. It selects the Russian representatives to compete in two of the major beauty pageants: Miss World and Miss Universe.
History
The pageant began in 1992; however, there was no Miss Russia 1994, or 2000[1] or 2008.[citation needed]
Since 2007, the winner of Miss Russia represents her country at Miss World and Miss Universe. If the winner is unable to participate, a runner-up is sent instead.[citation needed]
Russia has won three major international titles: Miss World 1992, Miss Universe 2002, although later dethroned, and Miss World 2008.[citation needed]
It is estimated that Miss Russia has over 80,000-100,000 applicants annually.[citation needed]
