Let’s read today the interview of our Miss Russia.
‘’My name is Ekaterina, and I’m from Russia. A little about myself:
I’m currently raising my 3-year-old daughter. I strive to raise her in the best traditions and be actively involved in her life. I also participate in a beauty pageant, where I try to represent my country and prove that motherhood and beauty can go hand in hand.
In my free time, I enjoy reading books about psychology and parenting, running a small business, and dancing, which helps me stay in shape and maintain a good mood. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family, enjoying the company and warmth of family gatherings.
My best qualities are listening skills and politeness; Empathy and the ability to support others; Humor and optimism, which help me cope with difficulties
And my Worst Weaknesses : I can sometimes be overly self-critical; Due to my busy schedule, I don’t always find time for myself; It’s sometimes difficult to balance the responsibilities of motherhood with personal ambitions
Who has inspired you in your life/career?
Inspiration in my life has come from many amazing women, but I especially remember my grandmother. She was genuine and fair. Her resilience and perseverance taught me that dreams aren’t just castles in the air, but roads we can build ourselves. She always said, “If you work hard, the world will open doors for you you never even dreamed of.” And looking at her life, I realized that no dream is too big if you’re willing to put in the effort. Sadly, she is no longer with us, but I miss her very much!
Is there an event or something in your life that left a special mark on you?
I once volunteered for a project that helped children from disadvantaged families. Seeing them smile and achieve their goals despite the difficulties, I realized that small gestures can change lives. This made me rethink the value of my time and resources. Now I try to share my time and efforts with others, as each of us can be a source of light in someone else’s life.
What does happiness mean to you?
For me, happiness isn’t just joy and laughter; it’s also peace and inner calm. It’s the moment when you realize you’re in the right place, when you can talk endlessly about your dreams, and when you have those around you who support and inspire you. Happiness is something you must not only seek but also create, filling your life with bright moments and genuine relationships.
What phrase or quote will you never forget? Why?
“We can’t change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.” This quote reminds me that life is full of unpredictability. I’ve learned to see obstacles not as barriers, but as opportunities for growth. This inspiration allows me to live life to the fullest, even when things don’t go as planned.
How do you feel being here at the Miss Europe Continental pageant?
I feel more alive than ever! This isn’t just a competition, but also a platform where I can share my views and ideas. Each participant has an amazing story and a unique journey. I’m proud to be a part of this process—to be inspired, to learn, and to share with others. This experience fills me with energy and motivation!
What does fashion mean to you?
For me, fashion isn’t just clothes; it’s the language we use to express ourselves. It’s an opportunity to express your individuality and adapt to moods and seasons. Fashion is a reflection of culture and art. When I choose an outfit, I’m not only talking about myself; I also respect those who create trends and inspire us to dream.
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
In 10 years, I see myself not only as a successful woman, but also as an inspiring individual who uses her platform to create positive change in society. I hope that:
* Career success: I intend to continue developing in the fashion and beauty fields, perhaps opening my own brand or agency that will support and develop young talent.
* Family and motherhood: I hope to maintain strong family relationships and continue to be a loving mother, raising my child with the values of love, respect, and self-confidence.
* Personal development: I want to continue learning, traveling, and discovering new cultures and ideas, remaining open to everything new and interesting.
This vision fills me with hope and motivation to work on myself and my dreams every day!
If you could grant me one wish, what would it be? I wish for every person on the planet to have access to quality education and opportunities. I believe that knowledge can change the world, and every individual deserves a chance to develop. If my wish were to come true, we would witness incredible changes and opportunities that could lead to a better future.’’
