Anna Mezentseva's photostream

I was born in the former capital of Russia, Saint-Petersburg, in the family of two doctors (my mother still works in the Chemical Laboratory, and my father is a micro-surgeon). My parents, being very professional, did a lot for charity (in particular, helping Afgan soldiers).

Because of my father's job, our family moved a lot, including 2 years in Germany where I learnt the German language. Then we came back to Russia, and I entered Moscow State University specializing in theoretical linguistics (2002-2007).

I also started the model career being a student, and since than I have been a catwalk and photo model in different Russian model agencies («Slava Zaytsev Model Management», «Point Model Management», «Fashion Studio Olga Gurova»). For some time I have also worked as translator and as a journalist in the German on-line magazine «Russland Intern».

Feeling that I can do more, I decided to try myself in beauty pageants, starting with national ones (“Miss Moscow Region 2005”- winner, “Miss Russia 2005” - finalist, “Miss Russia Universe- 2006”- finalist, “Miss February 2006”- winner, “Miss Glamour Russia 2006” – top 10). Then I moved to the international level (Miss Russia 2007 at the «Queen of the World» contest which took place in Germany-Austria; Representative from Russia at the «Miss UEFA 2008» in Germany, «Miss International 2008» in the USA, and «Miss Earth 2008» in Philippines). Now I am also a model of the «Alpha-Model Agency» in Germany and still represent Russia at international beauty pageants (including “Miss Europe 2009”, “Miss Northern Sea’s 2009”, “Miss Intercontinental 2009” and “Face of the Universe 2009”).
I also took part in different TV Shows, Talk Shows, shootings in Russia (advertising, interviews) and abroad ( Germany- TV Total, RTL Explosive (an interview); the USA and the Philippines during the international pageants.

Being very interested for cinematography I took part in a shooting of a German documentary dedicated to the history of Moscow( an interview).

Currently I am a journalist, a writer and also one of the creators preparing a new social net in Russia. As for my hobbies and interests, I really adore playing piano, and I am very fond of cinematography, writing essays, ballet, traveling and music.


I would like my future career to be related with charity and movie direction. I would love to become an international beauty queen to make other people believe everything is possible in this life. Not only because today the world gives us a lot of opportunities, but also because we can achieve any goal in case if it is our burning desire.
After we have it, we can share our triumph with those less fortunate…
