Background edit
Selection of participants edit
Contestants from 79 countries and territories competed in this year.
Elmira Tuyusheva won Miss Russia 1995 and was supposed to compete in Miss Universe. However, she decided to break her contract with the Miss Russia organization just 1 month before Miss Universe to pursue her career as a model and actress.[3] As none of the Miss Russia 1995 pageant runners-up were eligible to replace her duties due to several reasons, the organizers decided to pick Ilmira Shamsutdinova as the official delegate of Russia in Miss Universe 1996. Shamsutdinova was Miss USSR 1991 but the Soviet Union split into fifteen countries that year.[4]
