Elmira Abdrazakova who will represent Russia at the Miss Universe 2013 beauty pageant to be held on November 9th this year, has become the victim of a campaign of racist abuse for not “being Russian enough”.
The 19-year-old beauty faced intense racist abuse despite her gorgeous looks and vivacious personality from some nationalist Russians.
The nationalists claimed that she did not deserve to be crowned Miss Russia as she was one of the country’s ethnic minorities.
Abdrazakova’s father is Tartar, from the gelid Kemerovo Oblast and she was born in Kazakhstan. In the wake of her Miss Russia victory earlier this year, she was targeted by racist trolls on social networking sites.
As a result, she was forced to close all her social networking accounts. Abdrazakova will take on 87 beauties from countries all over the world for the Miss Universe crown at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow, Russia on November 9, 2013.
