Miss Russia Haters: Kazakhstan-Born Beauty Criticized For 'Not Being Russian Enough'

Miss Russia haters want to dethrone Kazakhstan-born beauty

The recently concluded 2013 Miss Russia beauty pageant has raised a lot of eyebrows and has enraged some critics as the stunning contestant number 13, Elmira Abdrazakova, gracefully made her way successfully to the top and won the crown.

The 18-year old brunette beauty queen was alleged of being "not Russian enough" to deserve the title and is now placed at the center of online dreadful racism campaign.

Elmira came from one of the country’s ethnic minorities and was herself born in Kazakhstan.

With all the hate mails and vile online attacks towards her, her family and the ethnic minority she belongs to, the beauty queen was forced to deactivate her social networking accounts.
But coming to her senses, she stood up and talking to Sky News said: "The nationality question, I don't really understand it. I don't understand why men would write to a young girl offensive things about her nationality.

"It humiliates first of all not me, but those people who write it. It was bizarre for me when men were writing things like that to me, I was surprised we have people of that sort here," she said.

The racial abuse she received from her critics failed to bring her down completely. She just hoped that her story and success would motivate others who are born and are still living in poverty.

"Maybe some girls will look at me and get inspired by my experience to grow, to develop, to work hard. I hope they can see that in life you can reach something without big money,” she said.
The alleged “real beauty among sheep” will be working hard and prove her worth as she will still be representing Russia for the Miss World beauty pageant.
