The whole night 6 August was spent constructing the stage. The last technical rehearsal for the contest was held early in the morning on 7 August. For the contestants the day began at 9 am with breakfast, and then they went straight to the MTL Arena to begin rehearsing with the hosts of the show – Ivan Nikolayev and Sofia Kashtanova. They had to keep rehearsing until lunchtime.

While the girls were having lunch, the sound check for artists took place on stage.
Last-minute instructions were given to the directors, choreographers and costume designers, and then the final rehearsal began. The place was completely transformed: with the lighting, sound, and video effects, and the girls stayed very calm – you would never have known how anxious they were. After the final rehearsal, preparations began for the most exciting and special event – the Miss Volga 2015 finale!
The stylists and makeup artists were very professional in the way they worked with the contestants: time was limited, but they didn’t let this bother them. The contestants were ready on time. For this special thanks must go to the Natalia Kalaus image laboratory and the Estetista style and make-up school which works with the professional make-up brand Eva Garden.

Dressers helped behind the scenes with the organisation. The director of the show gave last-minute instructions to everyone involved in the final performance. At 8 pm the MTL Arena began to fill with guests: the press, representatives of modelling agencies, relatives and friends of the participants and spectators who wanted to watch a beautiful show. Members of the jury took their seats. Among them were: Svetlana Listopadova (publisher of Melon Rich), Frank Robert Hitzer (director of publishing house “Burda”), Anna Sedokova (pop singer, TV presenter, actress), Igor Gulyaev (Russian designer, TV presenter, innovator in fur fashion), Julia Kalmykova (head of the network of evening fashion salons, TopDress), Alena Sevostyanova (director of the shop “Defi*le”)

At 9.30 pm the lights in the hall were dimmed, and the contest began with a gorgeous video show of special effects, after which the Miss Volga 2015 finalists were invited on to the stage one by one. The first catwalk – “Presentation of the contestants” – was in the symbolic white and red colours of the main sponsor: the modelling agency Casta Model Management. The girls’ shoes were provided by the participating partner of the contest – the company Carlo Pazolini.

The DJ Leonid Rudenko took charge of all the music. The second catwalk presentation – “National costume display” – was lovely to watch.

Each contestant presented her city and its region in their unique traditional dress. At this point, the judges had to make an important decision: to select ten finalists.

The singer Angel Yos then took the stage and performed three songs.

Next was the hottest presentation everyone had been waiting for: “Catwalk in swimwear.” Swimwear for the competition was provided by partner of the competition – the company De*file. For this they deserve a special thank-you. The girls looked stunning!

The organizers of the competition were then asked to bring the envelope with the jury’s final decision up to the stage.
The ten finalists were:
Yana Spirkova, Veronika Trofimova, Maria Zvereva, Yana Dobrovolskaya, Julia Tikhonova, Regina Minacheva, Anastasia Volova, Anna Puminova and Angelina Samokhina.

After the announcement of the finalists the singer Danzel took the stage and whipped up the spectators’ excitement with his performance, while backstage preparations were in full swing for the intelligence test of the ten finalists. The presenters then invited these girls, deemed by the jury to be the top ten contestants, onto the stage. They came out wearing gorgeous evening dresses from the new Jovani collection, whose official representative in Russia is the company TopDress. Their jewellery was provided by Arkhipova Jewellery.

One by one, each contestant was called out, so the jury and audience could get to know them better and ask them challenging questions. At the same time, the contestants’ business cards were displayed on the screen.

After the intelligence test, the contestants went backstage to prepare for the last catwalk and to wait for the announcement of the winner’s name. At this point, the jury was engaged in a lively discussion, making their decision.

After a short break all the Miss Volga 2015 contestants stepped out on to the stage in evening dresses. The organizers announced the names of the contestants who had won complementary nominations from the competition partners. These were:
Yulia Tikhonova – “Miss Egomania”; Anastasia Nesterova – “Miss Bikini from Defi*le Store”, and, the contestant who received the most votes on the Woman’s Day portal: Daria Martynenko.

And then came the big moment everyone had been waiting for – an envelope was brought on-stage containing the names of the three winners. Frank Robert Hitzer, director of the publishing house “Burda”, was invited on stage to announce the second runner-up. He read out the name: the second Miss Volga runner-up was Regina Minacheva, from Ulyanovsk!

To announce the first runner-up, the designer Igor Gulyaev was invited on-stage. The crown for the first Miss Volga runner-up went to Yana Spirkova of Petrozavodsk!

Finally, to announce the name of the over-all winner, Anna Sedokova was invited on to the stage and she announced that the new Miss Volga 2015 would be Maria Zvereva, representing the city of Perm. Roya Bayramova, Miss Volga 2014, passed the crown to its new owner – Maria Zvereva.

Maria – or Masha as she is known to friends and family – has just finished grade 11 and is getting ready to enter medical school next year, as she has plans to become a dentist. This year, she will devote herself to working for Casta Model Management in Russia and internationally. There are a lot of projects on Masha’s schedule, and we will be closely following her progress.

Final rehearsals began in the morning. All contestants listened carefully to Valentin – the Stage Director of the show, and work went very smoothly.

There was only half an hour for the lunch on Thursday. After lunch, the participants returned to the rehearsal room and carried on the preparation. Then there was a briefing with the choreographers, directors, and costume designers. The contestants had the shoe-fitting after. Shoes were provided by another partner of the competition- Carlo Pazolini.
Contestants were nervous, everybody understood that the final day was coming soon and with that the most important event for which everyone came to Samara. The organizers expected perfect performances from all the girls. The final show is almost impossible to rehearse just in 3 days. But it was only the next day when the final outcome would be known.

At 6 pm Natalia Kalaus gave a master class on hairstyles to all the contestants.

In the evening, the girls had a contest “Miss Friendship”, where each girl gave her vote for the most kind and sympathetic contestant. This year the title of “Miss Friendship” was earned by Julia Tikhonova, the representative of Chuvashia.

Every day of the contest is different. On 5 August everyone started to began being nervous, because the girls were competing for the title of “Miss Bikini”. The winner will go to represent Russia at the international contest “Miss Bikini International”.

It was decided that the event would take place on the banks of the Volga River. Local press came, as well as guests from Moscow – the art director of “Women’s secrets” and PR director of “Moscow Evening”. Bikinis for all the girls were provided by one of the Partners of the contest – the company Defi*le.

Five finalists were selected, including: Anastasia Nesterova (Saratov), ​​Jana Dobrovol’skaya (Tyumen), Samokhina Angelina (Volgograd). Veronika Trofimova (Saratov region), Alena Eremina (Tambov).

After some debate, the jury decided to give the title to the representative of Saratov, to Trofimova Veronica. We all wish her good luck in the upcoming contest, and we are more than sure, that she will represent Russia worthily. That same evening there was a contest of “Miss Talent”. The girls amazed the jury with their skills of dancing, drawing, singing, sewing clothes, playing instruments, reading poetry, and so on. Our contestants are not only clever and beautiful, but also possess numerous talents, of which the jury had no idea.

It was impossible to choose just three finalists and so five were chosen. The crown went to Irina Melnikova from Nizhny Novgorod. Irina won the hearts of the jury through her passionate dance of Carmen.

Every day of the contest was very full and productive; the contestants had a lot of rehearsals and almost no free time. The girls spent the whole day rehearsing and preparing for the “Miss Disco” competition.

Unlike all the previous years, this year we have changed the format of the competition “Miss Disco.” Participants no longer danced individually in a free style to unknown music. The Production Management Committee decided to put on a rehearsed dance battle between contestants. The participants were divided into groups of ten people and they came out on stage with the same dance. Two groups of five girls competed on stage at the same time. The girls spent only a few hours practicing with dance choreographer Maria, who was in charge of all of their performances.

Opinions were divided among the jury; they debated hotly over who to choose. To select just one was extremely difficult. The result was that first place was taken by Anastasia Morozova, from the Republic of Crimea. Masha charmed the jury with her acrobatics, stretching and dance training. The competition was held at the restaurant Yar bar. After the competition, there were photoshoots and guests were able to enjoy the meal and the opportunity to chat with the press.

The day started early: with a 9.00 am breakfast at the Renaissance Hotel.

After breakfast, each contestant was given a contestant number by lucky-dip, after which rehearsals started and were girls preparing for the contest “Miss Disco”.

In groups, all the contestants perfected their dancing skills under the guidance of Maria, the manager of the Production Management Committee.

The official photoshoot carried on. After that contestants spent an hour for the final rehearsal. For lunch, there was literally twenty minutes, no more. Ten contestants were chosen for the photoshoot for the automobile brand, and filming took place in one of the city’s parks.

In the evening, the first competition took place: “Miss Intellect”. Each participant was given a form with fifteen questions and very little time. The first three questions had to be answered correctly. They received one point for speed. The questions were very complex. For example, the number of independent countries on the political map of the world, or the name of the author of the book the “History of Russia.”

There were three finalists chosen out of five, who had almost the same score. The girls scored on average 7-7.5 points. The finalists were asked some basic questions, which were prepared by the jury and the guests.

The crown of “Miss Intellect” was won by Dobrovol’skaya Jana (Tyumen). Congratulations to Jana with the title of the smartest contestant.
