There was the annual event I cannot miss to cover this time. On November 28, 2010, the Siberian city of Yakutsk hosted the 2010 Miss Yakutia beauty pageant. Violetta Dyachkovskaya was announced as the winner.

When outdoor temperature in the Siberian city of Yakutsk is much below minus 40 degrees Celsius, indoor people decide which lady is the best and most beautiful. It happens annually in the form of the Miss Yakutia beauty contest.

Praise god, we’ve got talented pro photographers, Alexey Pavlov and Vadim Skryabin. Previously, we published Alexey Pavlov’s studio pictures. He is considered to be the best studio photographer in Yakutsk. He is a co-founder of the Pavlov & Pavlov advertising agency.

All big city entertainment events cannot be missed from his view and presents and he was a major photographer of the beauty contest as well. So I am glad to present his and his colleague’s pictures of Siberian women in all glamour.
