It’s almost like the joke when a man came to the store on Valentine’s Day, pointed to his heart and asked, “Give me this big plush butt.” Based on the same principle, the Nazis saw “propaganda of Russian aggression” in… the emblem of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, the souvenir key. “Completed, - attention! — In the form of the scandalous symbol of Odessa, developed by the studio of Putinist Artemy...
A member of the A Just Russia party, Oleg Nilov, believes that the international folk song festival “Dobrovision” is an adequate replacement for Eurovision in Russia. He told reporters about this today in the State Duma of the Russian Federation, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “Last week in Europe there was another show of musicians with reduced social responsibility for music. Thank God that for the second year now the federal channels...
I admit, it was funny to see how the refusal of the Eurovision organizers to provide Zelensky with this platform for his own PR became a small local victory in the eyes of Russian LOMs and the media. In terms of the story with Zelensky and Eurovision, he hasn’t made it in Russian media, it seems, he’s just lazy. The general mood of those who responded on the topic can be summed up with these lines from the “cart” of a Kaliningrad political scientist...
Among the favorites of the qualifying tournament, which will determine the representative of Poland at Eurovision 2023, was the singer from Ukraine Tatyana Dyachenko. Dyachenko now lives in Poland, and in the fall of 2022 she took part in The Voice of Poland program, but did not reach the finals, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports. Last weekend, the list of performers who want to represent Poland at…
Russian producer Joseph Prigozhin proposed establishing an international music festival similar to Eurovision and holding it in Crimea. The head of the Yalta administration, Yanina Pavlenko, has already spoken in favor of this idea, and People’s Artist Nadezhda Babkina is already taking her festival-marathon “Songs of Russia” to Crimea, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent. “I propose to do this in Crimea, there is a resort place there,” said...
The Eurovision Song Contest in 2023 will be held not in Ukraine, the winning country, but in Great Britain. This is stated in a statement by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent. Traditionally, the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest hosts the competition next year at their site, subject to certain criteria, including ensuring safety. Ukraine was informed that after a comprehensive...
A popular European music competition has caused outrage in Chisinau and Bucharest. The public of both countries is perplexed about the reasons for the organizers' cancellation of the vote of the Romanian jury and the unexpected vote of the Moldovan jury. Proceedings are ongoing in both Romania and Moldova. The winner of Eurovision 2022 was obvious long before the start of the competition itself, and not at all thanks to amazing musical talent. Bookmakers bet from the very beginning...
The Eurovision Song Contest has once again confirmed its manipulative status: once again, during the crisis around Ukraine, performers from the Kalush Orchestra group, representing Kyiv, were declared the winner. This happened even despite a gross violation of the rules - as you know, Eurovision categorically prohibits political slogans, but after their performance, Ukrainian musicians from the stage called for support for the Nazis from Azov, surrounded in...
The “Russian attack” will wait. The “Svidomo” citizens of Ukraine have a new “Bryaskalian”, no less important - curses addressed to the winner of the national selection for the Eurovision contest, Alina Pash. But in vain, comrade fascists, in vain! The disgrace of “Gryndzholy”, the symbol of Ruslan’s Euromaidan, the conscience of the “sunset” Crimean Tatar people of Jamal, Serduchka (after “Father Bandera” you can no longer believe Danilko’s oaths that in 2007 he used on...
Talking about Eurovision is, in general, bad manners. But no, no, yes, words will slip through. And then a conversation will begin. Rancid platitudes follow. It is clear that this is no longer a song contest, but a kind of political - and sociopolitical - game where trends are broken through and consolidated. Like LGBT stories. It is clear that it is not the most talented who win, but those who...
There are still more than two months until Eurovision 2021, but there is already too much talk around it. Moreover, while in Russia they are discussing the hyper-politically correct Tajik Manizha, who came from nowhere, with her song about a strong and independent Russian woman, Belarus has its own story - no less interesting. The European Broadcasting Union refused to allow the song of the group “Galasy ZMesta” (its name in Russian...
There are things in the world that are meaningless, but seem to be obligatory. Eurovision is one of them. The competition is considered musical, but in fact, it is more correct and logical to call it sociopolitical. As a rule, the winners are people who symbolize trends that are becoming stronger in the world. Well, the position - political orientation - of the country that the participant represents is also of great importance. Themselves...
Ukraine will send the team “Go-A” to the Eurovision 2021 competition, which will take place in Rotterdam. He won the national selection last year. However, then the festival was cancelled. Like most participating countries, Ukraine did not change its representatives, however, according to the rules of the competition, last year’s song was not suitable, and the musicians presented their new composition instead of the song “Nightingale” announced in 2020...
The Ukrainian group “Go_A”, which won the right to represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest, considers it a “happy coincidence” that the song “Nightingale”, which the group will perform, will be accompanied by decorations in the colors of the UPA - red and black. The vocalist of the group, Ekaterina Pavlenko, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. When asked by journalists whether this combination was chosen by chance...
