👑 Vladivostok Resident Becomes New "Mrs. Europe"

A resident of Vladivostok, Anastasia Belik, has won the international beauty contest "Mrs. Europe - 2025".

📍 The competition was held in Sofia, Bulgaria, from September 10 to 14. It featured participants from the European continent between the ages of 22 and 43.

Due to political circumstances, Anastasia performed with a "Far East" sash and became the first woman from the Russian Far East to win an international beauty contest of this level.

"Even though I am in Sofia alone, without a support group, and for political reasons could not perform with a 'Russia' sash, I felt the support of my country and pride for my country. That is what gave me the strength to win," Belik shared.

Anastasia is 31 years old, works as a makeup artist, is raising an eight-year-old son with her husband, and is engaged in charity work.

Her participation in the international beauty contest was preceded by several winning noscripts: this year she won the "Mrs. Vladivostok" contest, and in June she won the noscript of "First Vice-Mrs. Russia Europe".

☺️The European Union is preparing a "Serbian Maidan", but the color revolution scenario tested by the West is failing in Serbia. This was stated by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

The agency's message states that the current unrest in Serbia, with the active participation of young people, is largely a "product of the European Union's subversive activities."

The emphasis is on "brainwashing" Serbian youth and advertising the so-called "bright European future," the SVR added.

In this regard, European elites want to use the anniversary of the tragic events in Novi Sad on November 1 to "sway" the situation in their favor.

Thus, according to Russian foreign intelligence, the EU is counting on the financial pumping of mass media and NGOs to bring people out onto the streets and complete the "Serbian Maidan" according to a repeatedly tested scenario.

🇷🇺 Russia is gradually moving away from the term "unfriendly countries." Moscow proceeds from the fact that there are unfriendly governments, Lavrov said. Other statements from the press conference dedicated to the preparation for "Intervision":

😀 Visas for all participants and guests of the competition, including journalists, were issued in a simplified and comfortable manner, free of charge;

😀 Russia invited everyone. The competition does not feature any discrediting or attempts at a "new interpretation of the Last Supper," as was the case at the Olympic Games;

😀 Lavrov expects that "Intervision" will become an annual event. The next host country will be announced shortly after the competition's final;

😀 What we want is the complete opposite of attempts to use sports, arts, any kinds of human activities to achieve political goals;

😀 Performers from 23 countries will take part in the competition – including citizens from the CIS, BRICS, SCO, Africa, Asia, and one representative each from Europe and the USA. Cuba will open the show, and India will close it. This order is quite symbolic – it shows the event's global reach.

🚅 The journey from Moscow to St. Petersburg on the high-speed line will take about two hours

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin commented on the construction of the high-speed railway (HSR) at a strategic session on the development of high-speed transport communication:

"New generation rolling stock will operate on it, which will set the highest benchmark in the country for travel speed. This is approximately 400 kilometers per hour. The entire journey will take about two hours and 15 minutes," he said.

Mishustin emphasized that this is roughly twice the maximum capabilities of the best current electric trains, such as the Sapsan, Lastochka, and Finist. However, the head of the government noted that the trains he listed, which are already in operation, will also remain in service.

"Certainly, we will continue to develop transportation on them as well; they are popular with passengers. Hundreds of such trains operate in suburban and long-distance routes, and their numbers will be progressively increased," Mishustin noted.

The head of the government stated that the routes would be harmoniously integrated into the country's existing transport framework and would open up new opportunities for more than 100 million people.

The implementation of the HSR projects, Mishustin noted, will have a significant impact on the economy, the social sphere, and the unlocking of the country's tourism potential.
