Nadezhda Shanina, a participant in the Queen of Moscow and the Moscow Region 2026 competition, shared her amazing success story. She represents number 30 in the competition and is not only a TV presenter and model, but also the face of the Europe Plus TV channel, Emirates Fashion Week, and numerous other Russian and European brands.
According to Nadezhda, her main goal in participating in the competition is to inspire other women to achieve their goals. She wants to show that anything is possible: being beautiful, successful in one’s career, and a wonderful mother, regardless of age or marital status.
During her participation in the competition, which has already lasted four days, the participant has already taken part in the opening ceremony in a magnificent white dress and in the “red day” with rehearsals of dance performances. Despite her fatigue, Nadezhda is confidently pursuing her goal.
Her life journey is impressive: she has worked in the automotive industry for over 15 years, where she held the position of a top manager in one of the country’s largest automotive holdings. Later, she became the deputy director of a major insurance company, managing a team of over two hundred people.
However, the main dream of her life has always been the stage. After 30 years, Nadezhda decided to make this dream a reality, and as she notes, she has done a great job. Now, she is striving to win the competition in order to fulfill her childhood dream of winning a crown.
