If Alina Sanko looks like these photos in person, then we will definitely have a head-turning doll-like delegate for the 69th Miss Universe.
This Russian beauty has already represented her country in Miss World 2019 where she finished in the Top 12 (along with our very own Michelle Dee).
Alina is an architecture student who would like to pursue charity work alongside children. In her free time Alina enjoys poetry, drawing and sports. If she could invite anyone to dinner dead or alive, it would be romantic painter Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, so that he could discuss his work and give professional advice. Alina’s personal motto is ‘you can’t find happiness, you can only create it yourself’.
I reckon that Alina will make the European contingent stronger. At the moment, the Latinas are all set to dominate the competition in Hollywood, Florida. But in Miss Universe, you can never tell what they are looking for in the next winner following Zozibini Tunzi’s trail.

She’s gorgeous, but I guess MU doesn’t need a barbie doll for a spokesperson. I believe it will choose a phenomenal woman– to borrow the catchphrase of MUP– who is battle-ready to be the confidently beautiful rallying point and harbinger of hope in this pandemic-battered universe!
back to back to black ang next MU
@ Lireo Hhhmmm…. I’m thinking, therefore, Canada, Jamaica, or USA. Still Americas! 🙂
Wow she literaly looks like a giant Barbie Doll… like her face was sculptured to look like the iconic toy doll…
Europe ba gusto niyo, guys?
I’d still go with Bianca… She can take advantage of that hornet’s nest she disturbed when she agreed to be photographed ‘blackened’. Though she has publicly apologized, in light of all the racial animosity the pandemic exacerbated, she can and should, imo, use her own awakening to spur more to wake up, too. 🙂
(Also, one of us said she is getting Pinoy help…)
#TirsinPaRin. Besides, I doubt Americans will still warm to a very white beauty nowadays…
(P.S. Popova Palina should have been sent to Earth after her stint at World. Her Lake Baikal seal conservation advocacy then would be a hit in any eco-theme’d pageant!)
Can she be a contender for Ms Intl instead Tito Norms?
Pwedeng pwede siya
Same thought. Hope that her agency will consider her for MI because there might be no luck for her at MU
@ Norman & @ Bert Does MRussiaO reserve the right to send a rep to MI?
Kasi ang alam ko, it only sends to Mundo and Universo. And presumably also Supra, like MSAO.
Like nu’ng time ni Popova Palina, many were hoping sa Universo siya ipadala. Pero, it was 1st RU Alexandrova Ksenia that was assigned…
Hallmarks of Eastern European girls: statuesque, svelte, and facially gorgeous. Alina is definitely a crown contender.
Yes magaganda ang Europeans pero nalalamangan pa rin sila madalas.
Too dolled (no pun) up. Enhanced? Plus, dolls ba ang peg ng MU? Looking back, Pia, Iris, Demi, Catriona, Zozi. All 5 are “normal” beautiful ladies, with substance. Don’t get me wrong, Alina is gorgeous! But I second Ana’s thoughts; let’s wait and see what she has to offer, besides the physical.
I was holding my comments re: Tito Norm’s recent grid of MU portraits. I want to hold off until I see more, specifically Russia, USA, and other sash contenders. Yun pala, meron syang sariling article nya!
Uber gorgeous representative from Russia. Kung mukha lang ang labanan sa Miss Universe, nakuha na n’ya ang korona. Pero the competition is a summation of beauty, brains, personality, and confidence. I know what characteristic Miss Russia is lacking. I believe that she can make in the Top 10 though.
That’s all.
Europe will REPRESENT in the 69th Miss U this May !
She has semblance of Olivia Jordan… I was going to say she would be perfect for MW but I guess she wasn’t Lola Julia’s cup o’tea….
