Buryat beauty: brutal bathers and tanned dangins. Style. The most beautiful women of the peoples of Russia The most beautiful Buryats

Annoyingly tore the trouser leg. Arrived in Ulan-Ude, checked into a hotel. It is necessary to somehow sew up the trousers, do not walk around with a hole. The hotel is small, only 10 rooms. At the reception, he asked the girl if she had any needles? She replied that yes, of course, there is. Brought me. He asks, do you have threads? I answer no. She: "-Oh, you're onion grief, our men, show me your trousers, what happened to you there?". Of course I didn't let her sew up my trousers! But this is possible only in Russia, such maternal care for a stranger, oh, beautiful Russian women. And I sewed up the trousers myself, which, in vain, 3 years in the army and 6 years of wandering around rented apartments and hostels.

And the second funny moment: on some subconscious level, and after numerous trips to neighboring China, Japan and Mongolia over the past months, I began to perceive people of Mongoloid appearance solely in the context of language problems. People are cool, nice, beautiful, but... in China, he communicated exclusively on the fingers, in Mongolia about the same, in Japan with Korea, English is also bad. So, I caught a taxi from the Ulan-Uda railway station to the hotel, and the taxi driver is a Buryat. And out of habit, using a mixture of English and hand gestures, I depict him a trip to the hotel. And since the man was a little freaked out at the first moment, I also show him with signs, they say, I want to sleep, the hotel, the street of the 50th anniversary of October. Then he almost blurted out "cese" (thank you in Chinese) when he helped toss the backpack into the trunk. And suddenly I realize that the man is absolutely Russian-speaking and I actually am in Russia. While we were driving, both laughed, apologized for their strange behavior, especially since I didn’t get enough sleep on the train, and numerous trips completely rewired my brain.

And I liked Ulan-Ude, a bright and pleasant city. That's just the giant head of Ilyich, which became his symbol - well, not the topic at all. Just like in the classic "Professor Dowell's Head" by Alexander Belyaev -

Station in Ulan-Ude, where my knowledge of the city began -

The main square with the colossal head of Lenin. Interestingly, the creators of the head simply did not have enough material for the body (estimate the size of the torso if the head is about 10 meters high!), Or did they initially hint that wisdom should be immortalized and stored in the form of a talking head? But without arms and legs, so as not to run away -

The city center is very compact and pleasant for walking and relaxing, among other things, the "singing" fountain -

If it were my will, I would put the following photo as the title photo for the post. But it so happened that the symbol of Ulan-Ude is the big-headed Ilyich, you can’t get anywhere.

Buryat girls are much more beautiful, slimmer and more graceful than Mongolian ones, although, it would seem, they are two kindred peoples, even closer ethnically than Russians and Ukrainians. Yes, imagine, when traveling, I pay attention not only to buildings and monuments -

Funny street attraction with a horizontal bar. You hang for 2 minutes - you get 500 rubles. True, no one succeeds. Do you think the horizontal bar is oiled and your hands slip off? Not at all. It just scrolls -

Unusual election campaign, the name of the candidate in the form of a rebus -

There are many interesting monuments of "Stalinist" classical architecture in the city. When I was photographing this building, a man in uniform came out of it and began to yell at me across the road, "-You can't take pictures! Come here!" ..". He was somewhat confused and silently returned back to the building -

For some reason, the recreation park in the very center of Ulan-Ude was abandoned many years ago -

Inside the park, there is a feeling that you are in the zone of a man-made disaster and humanity has died out -

Among the weeds, in the middle of the park stands a lonely church -

How, again Kashpirovsky? Or is it his clone?

Well, oh-oh-very "funny" store -

Colorful old trams run around the city -

And there is also very cheap Internet, 390 rubles per month -

But the airport of the capital of Buryatia is not just miserable, but I would say terrible. It is called "Baikal" (the former name is "Mukhino"), it is located about 15 km northwest of the city center. It is good only because before landing you can go out on the balcony and take pictures of the planes. I have never seen anything like it at any other airport in the world. However, I’m lying, at the small airport of the town of Corozal in Belize it’s even cooler, see "".

My plane "Ural Airlines" -

So, about the airport. On my day and hour, three planes flew out, two to Moscow and one (mine) to Yekaterinburg. The passengers of three flights did not physically fit in the small check-in hall and were forced to push around on the street, at the entrance. There is a crowd of people inside, everyone is squeezed like a herring in a tin can, and many more are coughing - there was not enough flu to pick up at the end of the trip. Then it began to rain and still had to "pack" inside. But there is free wi-fi. But before I had time to get a laptop, they announced some kind of smoke and drove all the people out into the rain into the street. And also smokers, who in these places are completely unafraid and calmly light up a meter from the entrance to the terminal. Smoke inside, cigarette smoke at the entrance. It is definitely not for me to explain to them that there are specially designated places for smoking, literally twenty meters from the entrance. I relocated to the arrivals hall, it also stinks of smoke, but at least there are fewer people.

But this photo, like the above-mentioned photo of the city Ministry of Internal Affairs, is memorable because after I took a picture of the Ulan-Ude airport on landing and had already removed the camera, a policeman approached me and said that it was impossible to take pictures. To be honest, I didn’t want to argue with him and explain that you can take pictures according to the law (except for situations when there is border and customs control, but in this case there is nothing like that), so I apologized and said that I would not do it again. But he tried to fully realize the "watchman syndrome" and said that I should get my camera and remove the photo of the airport. I answered him with a categorical refusal. He began to say something on the topic of denied boarding, I answered him that he did not decide anything here and let him call the shift supervisor, he developed the idea to "I can detain you ...", I also answered him something worthy. But in the course of the skirmish, the landing ended and the whole board was waiting only for me. And the cop and I were standing at the bottom of the gangway and enthusiastically arguing about whether I have the right to photograph the airport or not. So I just silently turned my back to the cop and went up the ladder to the plane. He mumbled something from below, but did not run after me. That's where the communication ended. I laugh.

Inspired by posts about beauties..

Arriving in the early 2000s as a student in China, among a huge number of all kinds of Asian beauties and fierce competition in the modeling business, Buryat Maria Shantanova, still unknown in the Celestial Empire, became the face of a well-known world brand. Maria herself modestly considers this a kind of "fortunate set of circumstances." However, it should be assumed that luck here, of course, coupled with something more.

Of course, Maria has not only external beauty, but also that inner potential, strength and energy, without which the conquest of further heights of show business or anything else is impossible. There are too many beautiful women in the world and so few who are remembered.

If until recently Asia and the East were the quintessence of Mary's life, now her western, American stage has begun. She decided to leave her career as a businesswoman and join the cohort of bright Hollywood Asians, following in the footsteps of Lucy Liu, Michelle Yeo, Zhang Ziy ... Why not? Our heroine clearly has everything for this: experience, youth, exotic beauty and the ability to be different in the frame. All in order to fulfill that great American dream.

Maria Shantanova was born on 11/02/1985 in Ulan-Ude, Republic of Buryatia, Russian Federation. Russian fashion model, actress, individual entrepreneur. After graduating from Ulan-Ude Linguistic Gymnasium No. 3 (specializing in English, German and Latin), Maria went to study in China and entered the Faculty of Art and Design (Department of Design, specialty "Interior Design") Tsinghua University (清华) 大学 (Chinese) university in Beijing, People's Republic of China). After graduation, Maria began working as an import-export manager in various large international companies, after which she opened her own business related to the supply, logistics of furniture and various goods from China to Russia by organizing a family furniture business in Ulan-Ude, Russia.

Random pattern

It is noteworthy that her career in the modeling business began by chance and unexpectedly, when Maria was sitting in a cafe with friends. That day, representatives of the fashion industry simply noticed her and offered to try herself in this industry.

As a result, Maria signed her first modeling contract with NESTLE (Beijing) and became the face of Nescafe Gold coffee (2007-2009) in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

Subsequently, she became interested in the Hong Kong branch of the international modeling agency Elite Model Management. In 2008, Maria signed a contract with Elite Hong Kong. During her time in Hong Kong, Maria has taken part in many major projects with famous photographers and video companies, including: she was the face of the Watsons Stores worldwide cosmetics line, Creaser Medical Spa and Beauty Center Hong Kong. Popular magazines Marie Claire, Jessica, Milk Magazine, Face magazine featured her on their pages, her name also appeared on the cover of East & West. DIGITAL ARTIST MICHAEL OSWALD chose Maria as the face for Photoshop Book Worldwide (this book is available worldwide), Galaktika Magazine in Europe.

With all this, the work of a photo model was more of a "hobby", because at that time Maria, fluent in several languages, was actively involved in the import and export business between Russia and China.

However, in 2011, the girl signed a contract with one of the leading modeling agencies in Singapore - Diva Model Management. This completely immersed her in the work of the model.

Interestingly, in a billion-strong China, an Asian from Russia has managed to take her firm place as a model and cover face. This resulted in numerous interviews (Women's Weekly, Stuff Magazine, Lancome advetodrial, etc.) both in China and in the girl's homeland.

Siberian Angelina Jolie

Very many, when they first see Mary's smile, catch themselves thinking that she is very reminiscent of Angelina Jolie. in the Asian version. It has the same warmth, charm, a sea of femininity and attractiveness.

It is no coincidence that in 2014, a Russian author's online magazine dedicated to the anthropology of man and his role in history and culture published an article-rating of the most beautiful famous women in the Republic of Buryatia, where Maria topped the list. In the same year, various mass media publishing houses of the country published rating articles about the most beautiful representatives of various peoples of Russia, among which Maria was recognized as the most beautiful representative of Buryatia.

Maria's face, unlike many Asian faces, according to the make-up artists who worked with the model, is surprisingly plastic. From such a universal face, you can "blind" anything with the help of makeup and light. And this is especially valuable for those who work with the camera.

In the summer of 2015, Masha took part in the filming of the films "Lady Bloodfight" and "Snowblade", an English director, screenwriter, producer Bey Logan.

I must say that in the history of world cinema, there are not so many people from Buryatia or people of Mongolian origin. At one time, the actor Valery Inkizhinov, who played in many European films, became famous. Famous actor Yul Brynner for his Mongolian roots. Just like the Hollywood star - Uma Thurman ...

However, those who really dream about it get into the "Dream Factory" and stay there, recognizing its party, unwritten rules, etc.

This year, Maria has already attended a pre-Oscar event organized by Weisntein. The event was attended by such stars as singers Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Zendaya, Lana Del Ray, Nick Jonas; famous actors like Bryan Cranston, Jessica Biel, Jared Leto, Ashley Tisdale, famous athletes Roger Federer and Lewis Hamilton, Oscar-winning Italian composer Ennio Moriccone.

And now it became known that the Buryat beauty became the face of the Dolce & Gabbana brand. This is reported by the brand's official Instagram account. The commentary to the photo talks about a “simple and effective way” to become irresistible: apply a “radiant” cream to the skin, line the eyes with a liner and complete the look with a classic “passionate” red lipstick. Earlier there were rumors that Maria Shantanova signed an official cooperation contract with Dolce & Gabbana.

And another photo of the beauty:

The Buryats are the second largest people in Siberia after the Yakuts. In total, there are more than 460 thousand Buryats in Russia, who live mainly in the Republic of Buryatia, the Irkutsk region and the Trans-Baikal Territory. There is a Buryat diaspora in Mongolia (45 thousand) and China (about 10 thousand). The Buryat language is one of the Mongolian languages. The peoples related to the Buryats in terms of language and culture include the Mongols and Kalmyks. Believing Buryats profess Buddhism and shamanism.

Black-haired beauties with an expressive look, velvety skin, a flexible figure and a mysterious smile from time immemorial were sung by poets and recreated on canvas by artists. Now, in the era of beauty contests and modeling business, Eastern girls are firmly entrenched on the podium and do not cease to outshine hundreds of competitors with their outlandish appearance. In Russia, Buryatia is rightfully considered their homeland. Wherever you look - here one is more beautiful than the other. "Komsomolskaya Pravda" made the TOP ten of the most tender, passionate and sexy Siberians. The list was prepared with the support of Sophia Ni's modeling agency.
