Miss Russia's victory is very historical as the original venue of Miss World 2008 was in Ukraine last September, but due to Russia's invasion of Georgia, the pageant was postponed and moved to South Africa.
But still, Russia managed to beat all odds and won the much coveted title.
In fact, she was actually the top favorite for the crown ever since the pageant started in November.
