Note on the spelling of the names: The Russian is the original form. All others were translated from the Russian form, but not in scientific transliteration or transcription , but in the manner used in international competitions, which is mostly aligned with English. However, this is not uniform. For example, Miss Rossija 2001, Оксана Федорова, who achieved the title of Miss Universe in the following year, is spelled Oxana Fedorova or Oksana Fyodorova, with the second spelling being aligned with the pronunciation . - The names of the victors before the war were mostly first available in Latin script. There are sometimes considerable deviations from one another and from the Russian form. Therefore, several spellings have been taken into account here.
