A Montgomery College student, 21-year-old Kristina is originally from Moscow. According to Itar-Tass news agency, she also gives classes in ball-room dancing and works as a model in a catwalk agency.
The beauty contest coincided with the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which attracts millions of tourists from around the world to Washington DC.
