It is believed that this is not the first time that such a beauty contest is being held in Russia. Earlier, in 2019, the Russian National Guard organized a beauty contest and the female police officer Kharamatsuva was declared the winner.

However, she did not retain the award for long as she was fired for an Instagram post from inside the jail.

Kharramsova called the move a “jealousy of his reputation and victory”, while Russia’s police department said he had endangered prison security through his Instagram post.
