A new season of the Miss Moscow pageant and the Beauty of Russia festival was presented at the Exposition

---

The Exposition hosted a press conference of key speakers of the Miss Moscow-2024 pageant — one of the oldest beauty pageants in the Russian Federation, which will start at the RUSSIA EXPO this summer. During the pageant there will also be the grand opening of the Beauty of Russia (Krasa Rossii) beauty and talent festival, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

"The events we hold are an integral part of the lives of our people and our youth. And the RUSSIA EXPO — it's about Russia, it's about Moscow, there are a lot of people here, and it's very pleasant that we will hold our pageant within the framework of this exposition. Our participating girls will see the RUSSIA EXPO, and we, in turn, will introduce our beautiful event to its visitors so that they can enjoy the beauty and talents of our Muscovites," said Tatiana Andreeva-Falk, general director and founder of the Beauty of Russia and Miss Moscow pageants.

The participants of the press conference had an opportunity to ask questions to the organizers of the festival, as well as to the contenders for the title of the most beautiful resident of Moscow and the Moscow region. In addition, the speakers shared their ideas on what the winner of the beauty pageant should be.

"For me, Miss Moscow-2024" is, first of all, a modern girl with a good body figure, but, most importantly — with good energy: kind, smiling. This is in general the most important thing — to go through life with a good appeal, always smiling and friendly. And, of course, she should have a good understanding of modern life and be a patriot," said Tatiana Andreeva-Falk.

The speakers talked about preparations for the event, shared personal stories of participation in the festival, discussed the importance of supporting female beauty and talent and the significance of such events for society, and, of course, gave a word of advice to the contenders for the crown.

"Our pageants are our life and our extended family. We communicate with many past contestants, help them, organize meetings, get-togethers, birthday parties. So be friendly with each other, help each other, try to feel and support each other. And, of course, remain yourselves — do not put any images on yourselves, because real life always attracts much more than something artificial," noted the host of the festival and assistant to the general director of the Beauty of Moscow-2024 pageant Elizaveta Shpak.

Festival stylist Andrei Vishnevsky advised the contestants to strive to reach the top, but not to fixate only on the first place.

"My main advice to you is to be inspired and do your best to get into the top three, five, ten. Watch magazines, track how the participants of world beauty pageants behave, it will help you even more. But at the same time, you should not live with the thought of taking the first place. That is a very failing thought. You should live with the idea to perform well, to present yourself beautifully, to do everything with soul, with love and from the bottom of your heart — this is what leads to victory," added Andrei Vishnevsky.

At the final of the capital's Miss Moscow-2024 pageant, which will be held on July 6 in the Large Conference Hall, three main nominations will be determined, namely "Beauty of Moscow", "Moscow Beauty" and "Miss Moscow". All three winners will automatically qualify for the All-Russian beauty pageant Beauty of Russia-2024, the final of which will be held on December 12, 2024.

Beauty of Russia beauty and talent festival is one of the oldest beauty pageants on the territory of the Russian Federation. For almost 30 years the festival has been attended by several generations of beauties, who at different times conquered the stages of world beauty contests — Miss World, Miss United Continents, Miss Earth and others.

Miss Moscow is an annual beauty contest for residents of Moscow and the Moscow region at the age of under 35. Its predecessor was one of the first Soviet beauty pageants Moscow Beauty held from 1988 to 1991.
