I have never taken part in such competitions. That’s why I initially had a stereotype that it would be participated by professionals only and that I had to beware pins in my shoes,” the young lady said. “After the first meeting I realized that all girls were kind, nice and joyful.” Emilia Shakh from Afghanistan won the Miss Kharkiv International-2013 title. Olga Polyakova from Israel was awarded with second Vice-Miss title. The People’s Choice Award was given to Oguldzhakhan Khordayeva from Turkmenistan. Medina Bondarenko.
