A student from the town of Mezhdurechensk has been crowned Miss Russia 2013.
Elmira Abdrazakova, 18, will receive a prize of $100,000, a car and the honor to represent Russia at the Miss World and Miss Universe beauty pageants.
After the emotional finals at the Barvikha Luxury Village concert hall, Abrazakova promised to donate the funds to her native town.
The most difficult thing was walking in high heels, she said, adding that she is not a professional model.
