Miss USSR

20th September 1989 Season 8 Episode 11

In a country where cosmetics, condoms, tights, tissues and tampons are largely unavailable, and where alcoholism and abortion are commonplace, some Soviet women doubt whether a beauty competition would improve their way of life. This doesn't stop 'pretty girls' from all over the USSR converging on Moscow. Their hopes, dreams and disillusionment are the inside story of Miss USSR.
