The remaining contestants took part in a challenge where they had to style one another, and later attended an interview in which they had to impress several guests to receive their business card. For the photo shoot, the models were photographed wearing jewelry in a beauty campaign for Pantene Pro-v.
The remaining models had a posing and endurance challenge in which they had to pose as celebrity icons, and had to stay in character as their friends and family members attempted to break their concentration. At the shoot, the contestants had to star in a music video with Russian singer Elka for an alternative version of the song "Do You Know", featured in the opening sequence.
The finalists moved into their new home. They later had a runway lesson while wearing a blindfold and practiced their walks at an ice rink, where the best performer during the lesson was granted immunity from elimination. After having their measurements taken and analyzed, the models were taken to the Moscow Metro for their first photo shoot.
The twenty semi-finalists converged in front of the Bolshoi Theatre for a public introduction with the judges. They later took on their first photo shoot, which involved posing for promotional stills and filming segments for the show's opening sequence. At the end of the episode, the judges reviewed the material and selected the final fourteen contestants.
