Top Model po-russki, cycle 5 (subtitled as Топ-модель по-русски: Международный cезон) (English: Top Model in Russian: International season) was the fifth installment of the Russian adaptation of Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. Two years after the shows initial cancellation following the conclusion of cycle 4, it was announced that the show would be returning with a fifth cycle. This cycle featured returning panel members of previous cycles, including Vlad Lisovets (cycles 2 and 3), and Ksenia Sobchak (host, cycles 1-3), as well as a new judge, Denis Simachev. The host of the cycle was Natasha Stefanenko, who previously hosted Italia's Next Top Model during its four-year run.
The cycle aired from October to December 2014. It featured contestants from several different countries (namely Angola, Belarus, Canada, Estonia, Israel, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States) as well as Russia, all of whom had Russian roots. Notably, two of the contestants had previously competed on other versions of Top Model: Juste Juozapaityte, who finished in second place on cycle 7 of Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model; and Kristine Smirnova, who finished in second place on cycle 2 of Eesti tippmodell.
The prize package for this cycle included a fashion spread in Glamour magazine, a campaign for s.Oliver, a cash prize of 1,000,000 rubles, and a modelling contract with Point Model Management. The winner of the competition was 21-year-old Zhenya Nekrasova from Kemerovo.
