This year, five incredible, active, and talented women of the golden age competed for the honorary title of the best.

They proved once again that youth lives in the soul — and that the wisdom, experience, and warm hearts of our grandmothers are a true force!

Our participants:

• Ilgiza Nasrullovna Yusupova (Chanovsky District, village of Belekhte)

• Zuleikha Gabdulkhakovna Karimova (Ubinsky District, village of Ubinskoye)

• Anisa Galimzyanovna Gumarova (Novosibirsk)

• Savia Anasovna Apcheleeva (Kuibyshevsky District, village of Bergul)

• Rakhilya Sagitovna Rakhmatulina (Kuibyshevsky District)

How it went:

The contest consisted of several stages, where each participant showcased her talents:

• “Business Card” — the abis introduced themselves and their wonderful families.

• “Tatar Table” — participants beautifully set traditional Tatar tables with homemade dishes and shared how they help prepare care packages with soups and dried treats for SVO participants.

• “Creative Contest” — each performed her favorite song, filling the hall with emotions and joy.

• “My Grandchildren — My Happiness” — in this additional round, the abis tried to guess what their grandchildren were talking about!

Contest results:

Winner — Zuleikha Gabdulkhakovna Karimova (village of Ubinskoye)!
Second Place — Anisa Galimzyanovna Gumarova (Novosibirsk)!
“Queen of Autumn” Nomination — Savia Anasovna Apcheleeva (village of Bergul)!

Special applause goes to Ilgiza Nasrullovna Yusupova, who took part in the contest for the first time and won the jury’s hearts with her vocals!
