A variety of beauty contests have long become commonplace in the life of Russian citizens. At one time, Yulia Kurochkina was the first representative of Russia at such an event. And she took the highest step of the podium.
Starting conditions
In the early 90s of the last century, the Russian Federation removed the iron curtain and joined the world community. Until that time, representatives of Russia did not take part in various tournaments and competitions, which determine the most beautiful girl on the planet. Yulia Alexandrovna Kurochkina did not prepare for such an event. In December 1992, the next, 42nd beauty show was held. The competition was held in the famous city of Sun City, which is located in the Republic of South Africa.
The future "Miss World" was born on August 10, 1974 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in the city of Shcherbinka near Moscow. My father worked at a local printing company. Mother worked in a fur store. A child from an early age was prepared for an independent life. The girl was instilled with a love of work. Julia already at a preschool age learned to sew outfits for her dolls. At school, she studied well, although there were not enough stars from the sky. When it came time to choose a profession, Kurochkina decided to get a specialized education at the Moscow Financial and Economic Institute.
Way to victory
By the age of fourteen, Julia became a slender and mature girl. At that time in the Soviet Union, no one was officially engaged in business, and even more so model business. However, the Central Department Store regularly held a presentation of new clothing models. Kurochkina was invited as a fashion model to demonstrate fur clothes and accessories. The girl received quite decent fees for entering the podium at the time. It was here that the Russian organizers of the Miss World-92 contest noticed it.
After some negotiations, Kurochkina agreed and began to prepare for the event. This case clearly demonstrates the level of training of domestic managers. Julia had to independently create a collection of clothes and related accessories. With great difficulty, I managed to buy a suitable swimsuit. Dress lent girlfriend. Shoes were chosen in the Chinese market. To the great satisfaction of relatives and fans, the efforts were not in vain. Julia successfully passed all stages of the competition and received the main prize.
