A Russian beauty queen has been stripped of her Miss Charming title after being accused of neo-Nazism.

Olga Kuzkova, 21, from Mosco sparked controversy when pictures from her social media accounts began to be shared widely, the Daily Mail reported.

One showed Kuzkova dressed in a maid's outfit with a Nazi armband and a message which made reference to Jews being incinerated.

Another showed her extending her right hand in a Nazi-style salute, while standing in front of racist graffiti.

Kuzkova was chosen by CSKA Moscow to represent her home team in an annual competition between Russia's top 16 sides.

She didn't take the top prize but was named Miss Charming.

Her title was withdrawn not long after the discovery.

Sergei Cheban, the league's executive director, told Sport Express: "We do not tolerate manifestations of fascism, nationalism and racism," the Daily Mail reported.

He said that Kurkova had told him she was happy to give up her title but "in the end, we consulted with the judges and they still decided to withdraw its award".
