Organisers of the Mrs Russia beauty pageant have been forced to defend their winner, blaming a photograph taken at a bad angle after she was mercilessly mocked online.

Images of Natalya Oskar, from Khabarovsk, who won the contest on Tuesday, became an object of vitriol as social media users - many of them from Ukraine - ridiculed her looks.
