Polina Popova. Biography and modeling career

Polina Popova was born on June 1, 1995 in Sverdlovsk Yekaterinburg, where she spent her childhood. As a schoolgirl, she dreamed of driving around different countries and participate in photo sessions. From the age of 15, the girl began to build a career in the modeling field. Gradually, offers of cooperation began to arrive, first from Russian agencies, and then foreign, in particular European and Asian, companies joined in.

After graduating from school, Polina completely immersed herself in the modeling industry, worked in Europe, Asia and America. When she worked as a model in the Celestial Empire, Popova, who is fluent in English, began to study the Chinese language, even thought about getting higher education in this country. Returning to Russia, I realized that she wanted to study at home.

Polina Popova: Traveling around the countries made it clear that I want to stay in Russia and devote my life to my country. Get a local education. Making this decision, I compared different cities in all world states. Russia, I can say - the best place for life and the future, creating a family, raising children ...

On April 15, 2017, the final of the 25th competition " Miss Russia"Hosted by fashion model Victoria Lopyreva and DJ Maxim Privalov... The best of 50 participants was the judging team, which included the six-time European champion in rhythmic gymnastics Laysan Utyasheva, the winner of "Miss Russia - 2001" Oksana Fedorova, designer Igor Chapurin and others, recognized 21-year-old Yekaterinburg Polina Popova.

For the first time in her six-year modeling career at that time, the girl took part in a beauty show and immediately won the main title, a million dollar crown made of white gold and decorated with pearls and diamonds, as well as three million rubles and foreign cars.

On April 15, the final of the national beauty contest "Miss Russia-2017" took place in the Barvikha Luxury Village concert hall. Of the 50 beauties at the last stage, ten remained, but only one went to the crown of the beauty queen - 21-year-old Polina Popova, representing the Sverdlovsk region. Today, the winner is snapped up - she gives interviews, goes to the shooting and participates in charity events. Fortunately, there was a place for us in the busy schedule - Polina became the main character of a photo shoot for the site, during which she told how she felt about comparing herself with Barbie, what she would spend the money prize on and why she was no longer threatened with star fever.

By tradition, we meet with the winner of the Miss Russia competition at joint photo session, in the process of which we manage to get to know each other better.

Within the walls of the Apriori Photo studio, we welcome Polina Popova. 21 year old beauty with infinitely long legs, a disarming smile and, interestingly, blond hair (for the first time in ten years a blonde won this competition) happily greets and immediately begins to prepare outfits for shooting.

Looking at our heroine, you will not wonder why she got the crown. Polina is really unusually pretty, but thanks to her kindness, openness and sincere benevolence, her appearance becomes truly dazzling. And if you watched the live broadcast of the final of the competition, you were probably, like us, impressed by the erudition of this leggy blonde. And so, sitting opposite and sorting through dozens of questions in my head, I start a conversation with the one that, against my will, flies off my tongue!

They called, I will not hide (smiles)... But I was always okay with this - I don't think that people say this with the aim of offending, offending. In general, in my life I try not to take the words of others with hostility or to see reproach and criticism in everything.

website: "Miss Russia" - is this the first beauty pageant in which you take part?

P.P .: Yes. And I am glad that the first competition turned out to be so large-scale and emotionally pleasant. I think for any girl such an event is an important chapter in life.

P.P .: And I didn’t dare, one might say. I probably wouldn't have applied for anything on my own. Only thanks to my friends, acquaintances and their support, I got to the casting, and then to the competition.

P.P .: Nice one. The organizers of the competition did their best and chose 50 cool girls, worthy of victory, the best of the best. It was pleasant for us to communicate with each other - everyone was very friendly, really!

“We didn't have any setups. Despite the competition, the girls were not opposed to each other. On the contrary, we all tried to enjoy this moment as much as possible. "

website: Describe your emotions when you found out that you won.

P.P .: Oh-oh-oh, these feelings cannot be conveyed in words (smiles)... Then it happened at all interesting story... I don't have very good eyesight, but when Yana Dobrovolskaya (Miss Russia 2016, - site note) they brought an envelope with the name of the new Miss Russia, I saw the letters of my name on the sheet. I stood behind her and could not believe my eyes - I reread it three times and still could not understand how this was possible.

By the time Yana announced my name, I was no longer there, not on stage, not in front of the audience. I flew! This, of course, is a completely new feeling, I have not experienced such emotions yet.

website: I have already decided what to spend the prize money on (the winner received three million rubles, - site note)?

P.P .: In general, I do not have an acute need for this money. Perhaps I will donate my winnings to charity, but the question remains open for now. I was not thinking about it.

website: Returning to the competition: what was the most difficult thing for you personally during the entire competition?

P.P .: For me personally, there was nothing particularly difficult - such conditions are not new to me. Before the competition, I had already worked, traveled a lot and was familiar with the “rules of the game”.

“The only thing that caused difficulties was isolation. All three and a half weeks of preparation for the competition, we lived in a hotel, where except for us, 50 participants, there was no one else. Moreover, we could not see our relatives and friends - we talked by phone or Skype. "

website: You mentioned that you are already familiar with similar terms. What did you do before participating in Miss Russia?

P.P .: I work in modeling business six years. At the age of 15, I realized that I wanted to be a model, and my family supported me. This is how my dream came true - I went to Japan. True, then in this country there was a strong earthquake (On March 11, 2011 in the northeast of the country there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 9 points, - site note), but nevertheless everything turned out great.

website: Didn't you consider the earthquake a certain sign?

P.P .: In general, I noticed for myself that every my trip is accompanied by some kind of anomaly. Not a single trip of mine has gone smoothly yet. For example, when I lived in the south of China, it snowed there for the first time in a hundred years. It was a real shock for them: “Snow? How is this possible? " (Smiles.)

P.P .: No I do not think so. I want to develop further. Today I am interested in journalism, and I would like to try myself in this new field for me. I think it will be TV journalism, I see myself leading entertainment programs... Although, who knows, maybe in a year it will be interesting for me to try myself in serious news programs. In general, I set myself a goal - I plan to enter the Faculty of Journalism. Which one educational institution- I haven't decided yet, but it will definitely be in Moscow.

In general, I have plans to live and work in the capital. Of course, a home is a home, and I am madly in love with my native Yekaterinburg, I have a family there. But in the future I would like to build my life exactly here, in Moscow.

website: And if we talk about your immediate plans - what do you expect from a year of cooperation with Miss Russia?

P.P .: I hope to make new acquaintances, recharge with new emotions and impressions. This year is a time for me to develop and get the most out of the colossal opportunity that has been given to me. Today all doors are open in front of me, and I will certainly take advantage of this.

“And, of course, my goal is to adequately represent our country at Miss World and Miss Universe. Everyone is already talking about the fact that the victory will be for Russia. Well let's see (smiles)».

website: Are you confident in your abilities?

P.P .: Yes, of course, I'm confident. But this is normal confidence - it has nothing to do with overconfidence. There is some doubt in my own abilities, but I will try very hard.

P.P .:"I think no. The fact is that this is not new to me. Trips, strangers, shooting, public performance, increased attention - I have already encountered all this in the modeling business. "

Today I am who I am, and I do not want to change. I want to remain the way my family and friends know me. If we assume that star fever will overtake me after all, I know for sure that my family will not let me plunge into this state. They will always stop me in time and point out mistakes.

P.P .: Of course. I’ll say more: it’s much more important for me to hear constructive criticism than praise, albeit sincere. I always analyze what people say and work on mistakes.

Finally, we decided to conduct a small blitz survey for Polina in order to find out more about her.

website: Tea or coffee?

P.P .: Coffee.

P.P .: A fish.

P.P .: Red.

P.P .: The dress.

P.P .: Sneakers.

P.P .: White.

P.P .: Melodrama.

P.P .: Pop music.

P.P .: Evening at home.

P.P .: Theatre.

P.P .: Cat.

P.P .: (Lost in thought.) Career!

The site would like to thank the Apriori Photo photo studio and the Forma clothing brand for their help in organizing the shooting.
