Miss France Laura Fasquel participates in the opening gala of the Miss World competition in Warsaw, 03. It wasn’t until the 2nd installment a year later that the winner would be crowned “Miss USSR”. It was a title that remain in place for a further 3 years until the Soviet empire crumbled and the USSR dissolved and faded into the annuls of history. The first beauty contest in the USSR became a sensation.
The contest was sponsored by the up-market German fashion magazine Burda Moden.

In the end, a schoolgirl Masha Kalinina won the competition. Junior miss pageant purenudism windows#.
