Personal life
Muscovite's personal life resembles a fabulous story. Already having moved from the Union to Europe, Galina met in the capital of France with a Jean-Paul deserten businessman.

Model Career
Studying in Shchepkinsky school fascinated a young student, but it was difficult for her to live on a small scholarship. Through a friend of Galya, he learned that the All-Union Institute of the Assortment of Light Industry and Culture of Clothes is gaining demonstrators of things - at the time the term mannequin was not used in the Union.
Thin beauty, the growth of which was 170 cm, and the weight is 42 kg, immediately accepted into the fashion prospects department. Since there were no model studios and schools, Milovskaya had to independently master the basics of profession. The studio in which the girl worked was "non-rigging": the models were not released abroad. The collections were demonstrated by the Union.
Later, Galina began to cooperate with the Moscow home of clothing models on Kuznetsky Bridge. In the late 60s, this center was known in the West, international fashion shows were often suitable here. In 1967, the International Festival of MOD was organized, the main event of which was to arrive in the capital of representatives and mannequins of House "Chanel".
Milovskaya, among other Soviet models, participated in this festival. The appearance of fragile high beauty-Slavs delighted many Western photographers. After 2 years, Andre de Rona flew to Moscow, which planned to make the original photo session for Vogue magazine. It wanted to work only with Galya.
For the filming, he conducted a serious preparatory work, received permission to shoot in the Gremory Chamber of the Kremlin and on Red Square from Alexey Koshygin, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR. The work was carried out on tense conditions, under the supervision of car gunners.
Russian beauty posed with the corona regalia of the diamond fund, the Imperial Scepter of Catherine Great, as well as the Shah diamond. For a photo session, the model did not receive a fee: the money went into the state treasury. This became one of the conditions for the photo project. Understanding the prestige of entering the pages of the Western Glossy Edition, Galya agreed to work for free.
Among the resulting pictures for which Vogue was distinguished by eight magazine bands, the real scandal caused a photo taken by Andre de Ron on Red Square. In the frame, Milovskaya is captured by a stone pavement near the Mausoleum. The girl is drawn back to the portraits of state leaders, and her legs are widely spread.
In the Union about this picture, it became known from the magazine "America", which reprinted it. In the work of the model, officials saw "anti-Sovetchish". This was followed by a challenge of beauties "on the carpet", and after - a ban on cooperation with foreign publications.
In addition, the management of the theater school accidentally saw a student at the shove of swimsuits. This served as a reason to deduct Gali from Pike. The girl who was engaged in the "craft", in the eyes of representatives of theatrical culture fell morally and did not dare to qualify for the title of Soviet actress.
The last straw in the nearest situation was an artistic experiment with Body Art. Popular painter Anatoly Brusilovsky offered a mannequin to become a "web" for his new project. In the process of performances, the master inflicted on the body and face of Galina elegant drawings of flowers, butterflies and birds.
The whole process was captured by photographer Kayo Mario Grubha, and then published in the Italian magazine "Espresso". Portrait of the model placed on the cover. On top of it, announcements of publications were applied. Among them was also prohibited in the union of the poem Alexander Tverdovsky "Turkin on that light" - just at the level of the Breast of Milovskaya.
After this scandalous incident, the girl lost his job. At this time, Galina received an offer from the owner of the European Model Agency Eileen Ford. Agree to it meant to immigrate to the West, parting with the mother, a favorite house. But at that time, Milovskaya understood that in the Union there is no prospects for her.
In 1974, with the help of Anatoly Brusilovsky, a mannequin flew to Rome. Soon she moved to London, where he continued to work on the podium. The model turned out to be demanded abroad, met interesting creative people. In Europe, Gali's move was regarded as a political action, although the girl herself denied such a background.
Becoming a banker's wife, Galya decided to complete his career on the podium. She entered Sorbonne, where he studied at the director's faculty. After receiving a diploma, Galina became the author of exciting documentaries. Among them, an important place was taken by the painting "These crazy Russians", the narrative of the Soviet bohemian medium, the avant-gardists, emigrated from the Union in the 70s of the XX century.

Thus, Romanovskaya, by decision of the jury of the International Festival, in 1967, went to Montreal to submit the Dress "Russia", stitched for Regina fashion designer Tatyana Osmerykin. Interestingly, many beauties had nicknames. So, Valentina Yashin was called Soviet Greta Garbo, and Zbar - Sophie Loren.
