Every year the Russian models appearing on more and more podiums. They are representatives of the most prestigious fashion houses, signing contracts, becoming more recognizable, not only outside their own country, but throughout the world. It is noteworthy that the dominance of Russian models on catwalks of the world since the early 2000s, has been called "the age of three V" - from the initial letters of the names of the most successful and popular - Natalia Vodianova, Anna Vyalitsyna and Eugenia Volodina. But only Natasha Vodianova entered in my Top 18 most beautiful Russian models,  because I like more gentle and soft facial features.
