Oxana Fedorova Beauty pageant titleholder « Blogs home Submitted by AWARDCHESS on Sun, 12/14/2008 at 9:03pm. Oxana Fedorova Oxana FedorovaBeauty pageant titleholder Birth name: Oxana Fedorova Birthdate: December 17, 1977 (1977-12-17) (age 30) Birth location: Pskov, Russia Height: 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) Eye color: Green Hair color: Brown Title(s): Miss St. Petersburg 1999Miss Russia 2001Miss Universe 2002 Oxana Fedorova (Oksana Fyodorova, Оксана Фёдорова in Russian) (born December 17, 1977) is a Russian Miss Universe winner (dethroned), police officer, television hostess, actress, and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Fedorova is a Russian woman who became the first Miss Russia to win the Miss Universe contest. She began in the entertainment business as a model and became Miss St. Petersburg in 1999 and Miss Russia in 2001, but declined to go to the Miss Universe 2001 pageant (where her runner-up Oxana Kalandyrets was a semifinalist). Contents [hide] 1 Early life 1.1 Childhood 1.2 Cadet and beauty queen 2 Miss Universe 2002 2.1 Competition 2.2 After crowning 2.3 Dethroned 3 Police officer 4 Celebrity 4.1 Other television appearances 4.2 Filmography 4.3 Max Factor Cosmetics 4.4 LUSIN Company 4.5 High Fashion Modeling 5 Political activity 6 Social activist 7 Personal life 8 References 9 External links [edit] Early life [edit] Childhood Oxana Fedorova was born in Pskov, Russia, where she lived until she was 18. Fedorova is an only child, and she was brought up by her mother and maternal grandparents. According to Fedorova, her grandparents were very demanding of her. Fedorova's parents divorced when she was three years old. She has not heard from her father since. Her father was a nuclear physicist, and her mother worked as a nurse at a Psychiatric hospital (she is retired.) In school, Fedorova played volleyball and her team won the championship in the urban tournament in 1995. At the police academy, Fedorova played the saxophone as a member of the brass band. [edit] Cadet and beauty queen After graduating from the police academy with a red diploma, Fedorova worked as an inspector in the Pskov militia for six months. Following her time with the force, Fedorova moved to St. Petersburg to study at the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) University, where she worked as an investigator at the Pulkovo Transport Police whilst studying. Fedorova also began to work as a model and started joining beauty pageants. She was named Miss St. Petersburg 1999, Miss Kalokagathia 1999, Miss Fitness, Miss Fortune, and Miss Russia 2001. Fedorova graduated from the MVD University with a gold medal in 2000. After that, Fedorova entered a post graduate course at the same university. When Fedorova was writing the dissertation regulating privacy and security activities there, she taught Civil law to younger students. Fedorova's biggest fan base was among police colleagues. [edit] Miss Universe 2002 [edit] Competition The 2002 Miss Universe contest was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Federova won both the swimsuit and evening gown segments by a large margin over the other nine semi-finalists. In fact, her score of 9.88 in the swimsuit competition was the highest televised score for that event in the history of the pageant. [edit] After crowning Upon being crowned Miss Universe 2002, Fedorova was showered with honors and gifts. Noted Russian doll designer Helen Yarmak even dedicated a doll to her. Fedorova traveled to France, Italy, Kenya, Canada, Greece, Panama, Indonesia, and Puerto Rico as Miss Universe 2002. Controversy soon loomed ahead for Fedorova, however, as she was later rumored to be pregnant. [edit] Dethroned Fedorova denied the pregnancy rumors and stated that she voluntarily gave up her crown for personal reasons, mainly because she wanted to finish her law degree. Officially, she was dethroned for failing to perform the numerous duties expected of a Miss Universe titleholder. At the time she stated in an interview that she had declined to perform her duties because she was so insulted by her treatment on The Howard Stern Show. She blamed the pageant organizers for not warning her of the frequently profane Stern commentary, of which she, as a foreigner, had no prior knowledge. The crown was passed on to Panama's Justine Pasek, the first runner-up, who consequently became her country's first Miss Universe. Fedorova was the first Miss Universe who officially did not finish her reign (although the very first Miss Universe, Armi Kuusela, gave up her title a month before her reign ended and Amparo Muñoz of Spain was "unofficially" dethroned in 1974). Although the Miss Universe Organization refuses to recognize Fedorova as a former Miss Universe, she is generally regarded as one by the public. [edit] Police officer Fedorova obtained a Ph.D in Civil Law in December 2002.[1] Fedorova is continuing her career as a police officer and was promoted to the ranks of Captain in September 2002 and Major in 2005.[2] [edit] Celebrity Since the end of her reign, Fedorova became a household name in Russia by hosting the country's most popular children's television show, Spokoinoi Nochi, Malyshi ("Good Night, Children") since December 2002.[3] In October 2003, Spokoinoi Nochi, Malyshi won the a TEFI award for Best Children's Show. (TEFI are Russian television production awards.) [edit] Other television appearances *On June 25, 2002 she was featured in The Howard Stern Show with Robin Quivers [4] Fedorova was a presenter for the reality television show Fort Boyard: Russia, in 2003 and 2004. Fedorova became one of the judges for the reality television show You Are a Supermodel in 2004.[5] Fedorova has co-hosted a home improvement television show Subbotnik since September 2004.[6] On New Year's Eve 2004, Fedorova co-hosted a special program to celebrate the new year. In October 2005, Fedorova received the Russian Club of Orthodox Maecenases Award for "Active Participation in Development of Social Projects". Fedorova judged the Miss Kursk Pageant in 2006 and 2007. At the 2007 contest, Oxana also performed a dance number with her Dancing With The Stars dance partner, Alexander Litvinenko. Fedorova returned to Fort Boyard: Russia in 2006 as a contestant. In March 2006, Fedorova made her acting debut, appearing in the top-rated Russian television sitcom Ne Rodis' Krasivoy (Be Not Born Beautiful).[7] In late 2006, Fedorova appeared on the television show, Dancing With The Stars 2: Russian Version.[8] She made it to the Top 5. Oxana hosted the Russian Junior Eurovision 2007 singing competition on June 3, 2007. The contest was broadcast on Channel Rossiya. [9] At the Supermodel of the World-Russia 2007 competition on September 12, 2007, Oxana was a judge.[10] Oxana was a guest on the New Year's 2008 TV Special "Голубой огонек на Шаболовке 2008" (Goluboy Ogonek Na Shabolovke 2008) on Channel Rossiya.[11] Mrs. Fedorova was a presenter at the Zolotoy Orel, "Golden Eagle," awards for film and television excellence. The event took place on January 25, 2008 in Moscow and was broadcast on Channel Rossiya.[12] She read out the results of the Russian televote during the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest held in Belgrade. [edit] Filmography In September 2006, her first film, Sofia, was released.[13] [edit] Max Factor Cosmetics Oxana becomes the face of Max Factor-Russia in 2007.[14] [edit] LUSIN Company In March 2007, Oxana signed an endorsement deal with the Russian company, LUSIN.[15] [edit] High Fashion Modeling Oxana Fedorova continues to model. She has walked the runway for top designers like Tony Ward[16] and Yulia Yanina. At Rome Fashion Week "Alta Roma Alta Moda," in Rome, Italy, on January 31, 2008, Oxana modeled an exquisite Yulia Yanina creation.[17] In March 2008, Oxana modeled creations by Tasha Strogaya[18] and Natalia Valevskaya[19]at Fashion Week in Moscow 2008. She modeled at Russian Fashion Week in April 2008. [20] [edit] Political activity In recent years, Fedorova decided to become active in Russian politics.[21] She ran as a candidate for the Russian Party of Life in December 2003 for the State Duma elections, but was defeated. In March 2005, Fedorova again ran for a political position, this time in the regional Voronezh, Duma elections, but was once more defeated at the polls.[22] In August 2005, several Russian newspapers, including Komsomolskaya Pravda, reported that they expected Fedorova would try to win a seat in the upper house representing the Tula region.[23] However, Fedorova did not run, as she told news media that she had put her political career on hold. It is also of note that Fedorova was an agent for Sergey Mironov, leader of the Russian Party of Life, during the 2004 Presidential election. [edit] Social activist Fedorova became co-chairman for the Energy of Life youth movement for the Russian Party of Life in 2003.[24] Fedorova has been representing UNICEF in Russia since May 2006. She became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for the Russian Federation on September 17, 2007.[25] [edit] Personal life During her school days, Fedorova participated in volleyball, hand-to-hand fighting and shooting. Her speed in disassembling and assembling a Kalashnikov rifle is one of her specialities, and she has called firing weapons her "favorite pastime". Fedorova especially likes dogs and owns a Terrier, a Mastiff and two Shepherds. Fedorova is an Orthodox Christian. Fedorova has often told the media that she would like to be a mother. In August, 2007 she married a German businessman in Munich.[26] [edit] References ^ Oxana Fedorova / Personalities of St. Petersburg / Petersburg CITY / Guide to St. Petersburg, Russia ^ Лента новостей "РИА Новости" - Обобщения - Самая опасная, но не самая престижная.

And it is fascinating and fun. The idea of the book is to teach you to analyze variations, accurately and efficiently. Whether you are a near beginner or a Master, this book will improve your game. For checkers players (and other game players): I recommend this book for checkers players, as the basic ideas should work for any thinking game. A small part of the book requires no chess knowledge at all. About half of the book requires enough chess knowledge to make the moves, and recognize simple wins and losses, and know a little bit of chess terminology. And the other half of the book (chapter 2 - Positional Judgement, and chapter 4 - The Ending, and a little of the other chapters) require more chess skill. If you find these parts too difficult, just skip them or skim them just to get some idea what is going on. Read and reread chapter 1, and I think that you will be greatly rewarded.

ALECHIN IS A PRIME CHESS PLAYER! « Forums home Forums > General Chess Discussion Post New Topic Jump to forum: Select One...General Chess DiscussionChess OpeningsGame AnalysisGame ShowcaseDaily Chess PuzzlesMore PuzzlesEndgame StudyChess PlayersChess.com CommunityFun With ChessChess Books & EquipmentChess News & BuzzScholastic ChessChess OrganizersTournamentsLive ChessChess MentorPremium MembersOff TopicHelp & Support « Previous | 1 2 | Next » | Last Post Edit | Delete 6th July 2008, 03:45pm #1 by AWARDCHESS Los Angeles United States Member Since: May 2008Member Points: 4524 Despite all rumors, Alechin was been a Prime Chess Player! ARE YOU KNOW, THAT HIS OLDER BROTHER, CHESS MASTER ALEKSEY ALECHIN, WHO WAS BEEN HIS FIRST CHESS TEACHER, DENOUNCED HIM, WHEN THE SOVIETS DID IT, SO WELL!.. QUOTE 7th July 2008, 02:11am #2 by anonym United States Member Since: May 2008Member Points: 66 The case of Alexander Alekhine is intriguing. He left USSR at age 29 (1921). When he defeated Capablanca in 1927, on his return to France, (Russian) emigre newspapers reported that Alekhine said that "the myth of the invincibility of the Bolsheviks should be dispelled, just as the myth of Capablanca's invincibility had been dispelled." In his book "Alexander Alekhine", A.Kotov says his research unearthed no evidence that Alekhine ever made this statement, and he is not known to have ever said anything similar. But at the time Alekhine was denounced by the then chess commisar Krilenko. Alekhine's brother followed suit. Alekhine's "rehabilitator" Alexander Kotov also presents evidence that rumors about Alekhine's purported sympathy with Nazism are equally false. In 1939 while chess Olympiad was in progress, Germany invaded France, and captain of the French team, Alexander Alekhine, withdrew his team and refused to play against the German team, although judges awarded a draw to complete the tournament record. Alekhine immediately returned to Europe. After two weeks in Portugal, he went to Paris and joined the French army under deGaulle as an interpreter with rank of lieutenant. He was subsequently captured in uniform. Kotov says, "things were not too unpleasant for him. This is, no doubt, because the directors of fascist propaganda immediately understood that they would be able to exploit the fact that the world champion was taking part in tournaments in occupied Europe. Alas, they were not mistaken. Alekhine was later to pay dearly for this..." Alekhine's competitors in these tournments included Keres, Bogoljubov and Saemisch, among others. In about 1943, while at a tournament in Prague, Alekhine was stricken with scarlet fever and almost died. As the Third Reich disintegrated, Alekhine escaped Eastern Europe and went first to Spain and then Portugal. His health was broken and he was totally impoverished. He tried to return to France but could not obtain a visa. In December 1945, Alekhine was invited to the year-end Hastings tournment, and then suddenly the invitation was withdrawn. Kotov calls it the Judgment of the Indifferent -- and says, "Yes, this was the judgment of the indifferent, and although the speeches were animated, the feelings of the speakers were excited by dislike for Alekhine. This was the judgment of people who were indifferent to the fate of the greatest living chess genius, indifferent to his life, his future, and to his participation in chess events. After all, the self-appointed judges knew that Alekhine was dying of illness, hunger and poverty. Instead of coming to his aid, they scorned him, and left him to die alone, helpless and unprotected. "Outwardly, everything had been done decently. Not only before the start of the London tournament, the Chess Federation of the USA (more acurately, certain of its members -- R.Fine, A.Denker and others) sent an ultimatum to London: either you exclude Alekhine from the tournament, or we will withdraw from the tournament in England, and will completely break off dealings with you. The complaisant organizers who were in charge of chess in England in those days, decided not to spoil relations with the all-powerful 'Yankies' and it was the poor world champion who had to lose. "During the London tournament a meeting was unexpectedly called which took on the form of a trial of Alekhine. As Lupi [Portuguese chess champion] later informed Alekhine, there was a great deal of noise -- 'the meeting was lively and certain firm convictions were expressed.' Although no one had given them any right, the self-appointed judges turned out to be 'more catholic than the Pope,' and recommended to the chess world, in effect, that Alekhine (for a time, but if the state of his health was taken into account, for ever), should no longer be considered world champion. It was demanded that he should not be admitted to tournaments -- the English had already done just this -- or allowed to give lectures and simultaneous displays. Obstruction, the deprivation of all rights, a death from hunger.... "How could this happen? After all, there was in existence the International Chess Federation -- FIDE. What right did the over-impatient participants of the meeting have to avoid the official paths in favor of their own interests? The chess world found out later, after Alekhine's death, by whom they had been influenced. When the proposition was suggested and even put to the vote (at the FIDE general assembly) that a match for the world championship should be played between Euwe and Reshevsky, everything became clear. While Max Euwe, as the only ex-champion still alive, had a lawful right, the pretensions of the American grandmasters betray the cause of the activity of certain representatives of the USA." [Alexander Kotov, "Alexander Alekhine", pp.197-198] At this point, Mikhail Botvinnik challenged Alekhine to a match to be held in Soviet Union in 1946. "The 'English Judges' were now in a most unenviable position, and they answered the Soviet champion's telegram with a series of strong worded articles. 'Disgraceful! The Russians wish to play with Alekhine,' wrote those were were displeased with the decision of the Soviet champion. 'We have taken away Alekhine's title, and now Botvinnik has put him back on the chess throne. The International Chess Federation should prohibit this match.'" [Kotov, p.200] Then suddenly in March 1946, Alekhine died. Although it was known that Alekhine had already suffered at least one stroke and had weakened heart as result of scarlet fever in Prague, the story was spread that he was assassinated by the resistance for being a Nazi collaborator. Botvinnik said, "Many of the chess creations of Alexander Alekhine ... will live on into the ages; in playing through the Alekhine games, players of future generations will experience pure aesthetic delight, and will be amazed at the might of his chess genius."

Just look at the number of new ideas in many openings, new plans in middlegames. READ THE BOOK (edited by Kotov) 'The heritage of Aleksander Aliechin' . That must convince everybody. I do not agree with you defending an assumed politicalinnocence. He DID write (at least one!) harshly antisemite article. His fear to become poor is not an excuse for this. But I didn't know about the intrigues after 1945 against him, he was the rightful champion, and he deserved each and every invitation, and even a salary from ANY state where he lived, for his artistic achievements !

How many times my father was lucky, that the Germans didn't killed him as a regular simple soldier, and the Soviets didn't do it as well, as a 'Prisoner and Surrender", by the Stalin's War Rule?..

The article could be a falsification, but frankly, i don't believe it... Also, I don't believe that he saved his own skin by this... he could just have shut up... Anyway, he was not a Nazi. By the way, I read a very nice anecdote about Aliechin and his simultan BLIND match against some team of the Wehrmacht (of course, all of them decent players, presumably blond, blue-eyed, and convinced of their superiority...) Aliechin won easily all matches in few moves, except one. The audience - many journalists among them - anxiously hoping, that he defends the pride of the 'arian race'. When that guy finally also found himself in a desperate situation, and wanted to resign, Aliechin said: 'Lieutenant, I think you are too desperate, let's change sides, and continue the same game!' So they did . Aliechin had already stopped playing blindfold. After a few further moves the situation on the board changed dramatically.... the Lieutenant again wished to resign. But Aliechin proposed to change the sides once again. The Lieutenant accepted. And the unimaginable happened, in a few moves he again outplayed the Lieutenant! When he finally gave his hand to the Champion one could not hear a needle to fall for a few seconds.... Then the audience applauded enthusiastically.
