# Top Model po-russki season 5

Top Model po-russki season 5 (subtitled as Топ-модель по-русски: Международный cезон) (English: Top Model in Russian: International season) was the fifth and final installment of the Russian adaptation of Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. Two years after the shows initial cancellation following the conclusion of season 4, it was announced that the show would be returning with a fifth season. This cycle featured returning panel members of previous cycles, including Vlad Lisovets (cycles 2 and 3), and Ksenia Sobchak (host, cycles 1-3), as well as a new judge, Denis Simachev. The host of the cycle was Natasha Stefanenko, who previously hosted Italia's Next Top Model during its four-year run.
The season was filmed in the summer of 2014, and aired from October to December 2014. It featured contestants from several different countries (namely Angola, Belarus, Canada, Estonia, Israel, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States) as well as Russia. Notably, two of the contestants had previously competed on other versions of Top Model: Juste Juozapaityte, who finished in second place on cycle 7 of Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model; and Kristine Smirnova, who finished in second place on cycle 2 of Eesti tippmodell.
The prize package for this cycle included a fashion spread in Glamour magazine, a campaign for s.Oliver, a cash prize of 1,000,000 rubles, and a modelling contract with Point Model Management. The winner of the competition was 21-year-old Evgeniya Nekrasova from Kemerovo.
