Judging from the photos below seem, Ms. Antonenko had some incredible and worthy competition to contend with, in order to reach the top.

But with a beautiful movie star looks, coupled with a smoldering sultry appeal I can easily understand why she took the top prize.

I know several ladies of Ekaterinburg so that it comes from this region makes it much more sweet to me. If you ever thought about visiting Russia, it would be a great place to start. (I even included some photos from the Miss Ekaterinburg competition as well.)

Take a look below, and I'm sure you will agree with me. ;)

I’ve known a few great ladies from Yekaterinburg so the fact that she comes from this region makes her that much more endearing to me.  If you’re ever thinking of visiting Russia then this would be a great place to start.    (I’ve even included a few photos from the Miss Yekaterinburg beauty pageant as well.

One of the things I love about Russian girls, how naturally playful and coy they can be.

Its certainly something that springs forth from their soft but electrifying femininity.

And this "electricity" is the most remarkable of causality in human physiology.

Expansion of students skipping heart beats, and dry swallows all the usual symptoms were observed some of the most irregular ladies in the world.

Americans have chosen the most beautiful Russian women. The first in the ranking of the Russian beauties is the current girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo, model Irina Shayk. Incidentally, a relationship with a handsome football player not just glorified her, but also made her wealthier. Now, Shayk earns much more than she used to, and fashion experts predict she will be included in the top ten most influential world's top models.

First Place - Irina Shayk. In the past she was Miss Chelyabinsk 2004 Irina Shayhlislamova, born in a mining town of Emanzhelinsk in the Chelyabinsk region. Now she is a well-known model who trapped one of the most eligible bachelors on the planet.

25-year-old Cristiano who has a contract with Real Madrid gets paid a hefty $40 million a year. According to Western press, the Portuguese had already proposed to Shayk. Ronaldo met Irina while filming TV commercial for Armani. 24-year-old Irina had a chance to work with Guess, Lacoste, Missoni, and La Perla, was a face of Intimissimi brand and appeared on the covers of fashion magazines several time, but only after her romance with Ronaldo she was elevated to the status of a top model, and her payments have soared.

The runner-up is Maria Sharapova. Maria, incidentally, is also about to get married. Her fiancé is Slovenian basketball player Sasha Vuyachich who proposed to the tennis player after Lakers vs. Golden State match in Los Angeles. "We're engaged and very happy," said Vuyachich. "I proposed to Maria on the anniversary of our first meeting. Maybe it looks old-fashioned, but I wanted to act like a gentleman."

Anna Chapman, the young Russian woman at the centre of "deep cover" spy ring allegations has been romantically involved with a rich businessman more than twice her age, it has been claimed.

Miss Chapman, 28, told friends she had been seeing Michael Bittan, 60, a New Jersey millionaire, after they met more than a year ago in a Manhattan nightclub popular with Russians.

"He was older but he clearly loves surrounding himself with beautiful women, mostly Russian, and since the spring Anna was in his inner circle," a member of the same party set told the New York Daily News.

Miss Chapman, who moved to New York in February after living for in London for four years, could be jailed for five years if convicted of conspiracy to act as the agent of a foreign government.

Described by a prosecutor as a "practised deceiver", she has already been denied bail as a potential flight risk.

I think congratulations to the people in the Turkish Mediterranean city of Antalya.

I can probably guess that these people are quite happy to live among such people Russian ladies.

Russia is one of the few countries in the world where the number of abortions more than the number of live births.

For example, in 2001, 1.32 million children were born in Russia and 1.8 million abortions were performed.

These figures are especially tragic, given that Russia is facing a disastrous demographic crisis with the United Nations estimates that Russia could lose more than half of its population by 2050.

One oddity of the United States and living in Russia is a full day and night difference in attitudes toward abortion. In the United States seems to have real political militancy on both sides of the issue.

But in Russia there is ZERO public debate on this issue.
