One of the most fashionable professions among modern girls was extremely unpopular in the USSR. The concept of "model" did not exist at that time, the girls were called "Fashion models" or "Clothing demonstrators" … They were equated with general laborers of the last category and received one of the lowest wages in the country - 76 rubles. Nevertheless, even at this time, some girls managed to make a career and achieve success in the profession. True, there were only a few of them.
One of the most famous and legendary fashion models of the 1960s, Regina Zbarskaya, after a stunning success abroad, returned to the USSR, but never found her place here. Frequent nervous breakdowns, depression, antidepressants led to the fact that she lost her job. As a result of failures in her personal life and professional lack of fulfillment, the most beautiful woman in the country committed suicide in 1987.
Galina Milovskaya was called the Russian "Twiggy" - because of the thinness uncharacteristic for fashion models of that time: with a height of 170 cm, she weighed 42 kg. In the 1970s, Galina conquered not only the Moscow podium, but also foreign ones. She was invited to film in "Vogue", in 1974 she emigrated and stayed in London. She married a French banker, quit her modeling career, graduated from the film directing department at the Sorbonne, and became a documentary filmmaker.
Perhaps one of the most prosperous and successful was the fate of Tatiana Solovieva. She came to the Model House by accident, according to an ad. She had a higher education, which is why the nickname "institute" stuck to her. Later she married Nikita Mikhalkov and still lives with him in a happy marriage. Although the profession of a fashion model was so not prestigious that at first Mikhalkov presented his wife to everyone as a translator or teacher. In the creative field, Tatiana is also fully realized - she created and headed the Russian Silhouette charitable foundation to support domestic designers and fashion designers.
Probably everyone remembers the woman from the future - Polina, who helped everyone's beloved Alice Selezneva in the film "Guest from the Future". Few people know that this role was brilliantly played by the fashion model Elena Metelkina. Her unearthly appearance contributed to the fact that she played more than one role in the cinema - in the film "Through hardships to the stars", for example, it was the alien Niya. So the fashion model became a popular film actress.
Mila Romanovskaya - Regina Zbarskaya's constant rival - was another star of the Soviet catwalk in the 1960s. Abroad, the blonde was called "the incarnate Slavic beauty." Despite her success in the USSR, Mila eventually left the country: first to France, then to England, where she stayed.
But even the most beautiful and successful women in the profession often turned out to be very unhappy in their personal lives: the tragic fate of the Soviet "Sophia Loren" fashion model Regina Zbarskaya is an example of this.
