Miss Grand Russia is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Russian representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant. [1] [2] [3] [4] The title was first awarded in 2013, when a Moscow-based television personality, Anyuta Volkova, was appointed to compete in the inaugural edition of Miss Grand International in Thailand, where the headquarter of the pageant was located. [1] From 2013 to 2020, the license of Miss Grand Russia belonged to the Cheboksary-based modeling agency, Volga Models, [3] [5] which is also the organizer of the Miss Tourism Russia pageant. [3] However, the country representatives for Miss Grand International were not determined through the mentioned national contest; hand-picking was usually done. [4] [6] [7] [8]
In 2021, Volga Models lost the franchise to a queen maker, Anton Sergeevi, [9] who also holds the Miss Grand licenses for Crimea and Siberia in 2021, as well as Mongolia and Belarus in 2022, but all of his affiliated Miss Grand titleholders were appointed. [10] [11] [12] Sergeevi later lost the license to Poli Manalo in 2023.
Russia has participated in the Miss Grand International pageant since its inception in 2013. [13] Even though Volga Model, which served as the licensee organ from 2013 to 2020, organizes its affiliated beauty contest named Miss Tourism Russia annually; however, all of its representatives in Miss Grand International were instead appointed to the title. [3] [5] Volga Model later lost the license to Anton Sergeevi in 2021. [10] [11] [12]
Since its debut in 2013, Russian representatives got placements in Miss Grand International three times; [1] [14] [15] the highest position is the top 10 finalists, obtained in 2014 by Yana Dubnik. [1]
