The main beauty of Belarus was chosen for the tenth time. Once the idea of such a competition was put forward personally by the President of the Republic, Alexander Lukashenko. Now, traditionally, the head of state with accompanying persons takes seats in the auditorium and watches the elections of the most beautiful "face of the country".
Due to the upcoming visit of the President, security standards in the Palace of Sports and the surrounding area were strengthened: it was impossible to enter the parking lot to the building, and the security check at the entrance was especially strict.
"What can I have here," - the girl tried to be indignant and shook a small clutch in the face of the guard. He ignored her indignation and still asked to show the contents.
The show took place on the main stage of the Sports Palace. Two "parterres" were added to the stands in the hall - chairs arranged in rows were specially prepared for the guests of the competition and journalists. Relatives and those who bought tickets remained in the stands, from where they greeted their favorites in discordant voices.
"Someone will go to big politics"
The final performance of 26 Belarusian beauties began with a fashion show in stylized linen dresses. But the real start to the competition was given by the head of state: he spoke to the girls a little "out of protocol" - he told a story from his life and assured that beauty is often stronger than economics and politics.
“Some of you are just taking their first steps in life, some will also be in big politics. Perhaps at first it is easy to help, and then in politics itself,” Lukashenka said.
The audience met the president's words with approval. The audience also liked the thought of Lukashenka that the jury of the competition still cannot be objective, therefore each of the girls is a winner.
"Good luck!" - the president admonished and went to take his place in the hall.
However, one of the contestants hesitated and forgot to step back. Lukashenka was not taken aback: he gently pulled him aside, which caused another burst of applause.
"This is the best birthday present!"
The directors of the final show arranged it as follows: several defiles, and between them - performances of Belarusian artists and jokes from the hosts.
The girls walked in front of the public in historical costumes - from reconstructions of dresses from the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to modern stylizations. Pleased the guests of the competition and the fashion show in swimsuits with fur accessories, causing an approving noise from the male part of the hall. There were also defiles in closed swimsuits and evening dresses, but they all had one thing in common - the girls often looked simply frightened. They tried to smile, but you could see their hands trembling.
The beauty of the girls and their ability to walk was assessed by a jury that brought together a wide variety of people: it included both directors of modeling agencies and sculptors, teachers and officials. The jury was headed by Presidential Adviser Maxim Ryzhenkov, who had his birthday on Sunday.
"This is the best gift! Never in my life have so many beautiful girls looked at me as today," Ryzhenkov noted in his speech.
"Don't they need to be smart?"
Two hours after the start of the show, viewers enjoyed several defiles, performances by Dima Koldun, Alena Lanskoy, the NAVI group, Uncle Vanya and others. And unexpectedly for many, they immediately began to award the winners of the show.
“Here is the quintessence of beauty of Belarusian women,” Uncle Vanya, the host of the final, assured.
The audience supported the artist's words, but began to talk among themselves: shouldn't the contestants answer questions or present any projects?
“I would like to hear how they say! Or you don’t need to be smart?”, The guests of the Palace of Sports asked each other in bewilderment. But all the questions soon faded into the background: the intensity of emotions took its toll and riveted the public's attention to the contestants lined up on the stage.
Polina Borodacheva from Minsk became the winner of the competition. By the way, for the first time in the history of the competition, a resident of Minsk won it. It is also interesting that out of ten titleholders since 1998, eight are dark-haired beauties, including Borodacheva.
"Miss Belarus-2016" received not only the crown and many prizes from the partners of the competition, but also the opportunity to represent the republic at the "Miss World". Well, next time the republic will choose its main "jumper" in 2018.
Sputnik is preparing a video report on the "most beautiful election campaign" of 2016. Stay tuned for portal updates.
How was your first day as queen? The name of the owner of the title “Miss Belarus-2016” became known the day before. So, the most beautiful girl in the country is 23-year-old Polina Borodacheva. For the first time, a citizen of Minsk won the national competition.
The film crew at the doorstep of her apartment does not seem surprised. Knows that the title is obligatory and that there is great effort behind the splendor of the crown. She recalls with a smile that two years ago she did not even make the finalists, but she began to work hard on herself. And today, already with the crown in her hands, it seems that she fully understands why she needs this victory.
“It is unlikely that something will change in me with the acquisition of this title. Maybe there will be more responsibility, because to whom more is given, more is asked from that ”.
They began to ask in the first minutes after her name sounded. And coping with the euphoria, Polina confidently declared that she was refusing the main prize. The girl has a driver's license, but the philosophy of this victory is different.
Polina Borodacheva, winner of the title "Miss Belarus-2106": “I really want a car! And I know that all the girls wanted, and they are all very worthy, but when I received it, I know that I will not leave it to myself. But I really want my victory to mean something to someone else. I will find the very orphanage that will need this car the most. "
Today the phone is in constant ringing mode, and most of all she wanted to spend this day with whoever is busy with her heart. This is the player of the national hockey team Evgeny Nogachev. By the way, Polina herself goes in for sports, however, handball. And that now the whole country admires her beauty, cherished shots will remind for a long time.
The fact that the National Beauty Contest was held for the tenth time also added weight to the white gold crown this year. This show has already been called the most spectacular in the history of the country. On Sunday evening, Alexander Lukashenko visited the Sports Palace and, surrounded by all the finalists, noted that the girls were already winners. Finding the strength and courage to just participate is also a small feat.
They shone under the spotlights and four thousand spectators in the hall and millions at the screens really could not take their eyes off. The unusual staging of the defile helped to see everyone and appreciate each one. Beauties now and then changed their images, and on the stage, one after another, the epochs of Belarusian history were replaced ...
Exit in national costumes, where everyone is, if not a queen, then certainly a princess. And the most anticipated fashion show (in swimsuits) was even symbolically opened by staging a hunt - in their case, of course, for the crown.
Everyone noted how long the jury members deliberated before making the most important decision. And this is the moment when I so wanted to distribute 26 nominations. The winners of the titles "Miss Friendship", "Miss Photo", "Miss Top Model" and "Miss People's Choice" were chosen. The second runner-up was the beauty from Molodechno Anastasia Soroko, and the first - Ekaterina Savchuk from Minsk.
And if the project has already become history for all the girls, then Polina Borodacheva has very little time to rest. In November, the Belarusian beauty will leave for American Washington, where she will fight for the Miss World title.
