The director of Russian "Miss Volga" Vladimir Ilyin, who is licensed to the contest "Miss All Nations 2012" from Belarus, was asked about the reasons for which Belarus was represented by a citizen of another country.
As Vladimir explained, he doesn’t see a special problem that Belarus is represented by Russians, since Belarus and Russia - "brother countries with the same language and culture."Yes, Dasha from Ulyanovsk. I do not know if she has attitude to Belarus. Probably not, since we are not really require from girls who represents Belarus at the international projects, to have Belarusian passport. The same situation, when the Belarusian girls are at competition as Russian. There are some projects which require just a passport from country of residence, but even there, make exceptions for our countries, because they know that this brotherly country with one language and culture ...
