Miss Russia 2018, the 26th edition of Miss Russia pageant, will see fifty contestants from around Russia competing for the crown. Miss Russia 2017 Polina Popova of Sverdlovsk Oblast will crown her successor at the end of the finale night on 14th April 2018.
The pageant has been running since 1992, however, there was no Miss Russia 1994, 2000 or 2008. Since 2007, the winner of Miss Russia represents her country in both Miss World and Miss Universe. However, if she's unable to participate, a runner-up is sent instead. Russia has won three major international titles: Miss World 1992, Miss Universe 2002, although later dethroned, and Miss World 2008.
The jury for Miss Russia 2018 consists of: the lead of the show "Handsome" on air Love Radio Denis Kurochkin, 1st Vice-Miss Russia 2014 Anastasia Reshetova, Alexander Sokolov, Miss Russia 2007 and Miss World 2008 Ksenia Sukhinova, and the General Director of the National Miss Russia Competition Larisa Tikhonova.
