MISS UNIVERSE-2002 WILL HARDLY ABANDON CAREER OF POLICE OFFICER

St. PETERSBURG, May 30, 2002. /from RIA Novosti correspondent Anna Novak/--St. Petersburg Police University believes that post graduate student Oksana Fyodorova who was voted Miss Universe-2002 in Puerto Rico will hardly give up a police officer's career, rector of St. Petersburg Police University Viktor Salnikov said as much on Thursday.

"The most beautiful girl of the Universe" is a senior police lieutenant and is a post-graduate student of this university.

Oksana Fyodorova was born and grew up in Pskov and resolved to be a police officer back in childhood. According to people who know her well, she is a very sensitive nature and has an acute sense of justice. "These very features of her character made Oksana opt for this particular profession," Salnikov believes.

In Pskov Oksana Fyodorova finished a special comprehensive school of police and then moved to Petersburg. There in the northern capital she worked as an investigator at the Pulkovo Transport Police and was a student of St. Petersburg Police University. She graduated from it with a gold medal and then entered the post graduate course of the same university.

In 2003 senior lieutenant Fyodorova is to present a candidate's thesis in civil law. Teachers of the talented post-graduate student don't think Oksana will give up her scientific career and will surely become a Doctor of Law.

"Oksana dreams of teaching in our university," the university's rector said. According to him, the title of the world's most beautiful girl will hardly make her change the profession she had once chosen.

He added that the beauty's colleagues call her "a very kind person with an open heart." Earlier Fyodorova won the Miss Petersburg and Miss Russia contests, and yet she remains a very modest girl. Just like any other girl, the first Miss Universe of the new millennium is fond of dancing and listening to music.

Oksana also spares some time for sports - athletics and gymnastics.

Salnikov said that Oksana's mother has always accompanied her to all contests. This year Oksana's parents could not accompany the daughter to the Puerto Rico pageant and rejoiced at her success from Russia, he concluded.
