The pageant has been running since 1992, however there was no Miss Russia 1994,[citation needed] 2000[1] or 2008.
Since 2007, the winner of Miss Russia represents her country in both Miss Universe and Miss World. However, if she's unable to participate, a runner-up is sent instead.
Russia has won three major international titles: Miss World 1992, Miss Universe 2002, who was later dethroned, and Miss World 2008.
