I don't doubt it. Russians are really putting a lot of effort in their entries. I totally respect that. So, I find it quite annoying that some ESC fans come and start accusing Russia of faring well in ESC only cuz of diaspora, though the fact is that they spend ridiculous amounts of money on everything (except Buranovskie babushki, that was cheap 3). They diminish all their efforts. Oh, and it was really nice to see that France is again investing some energy in the project.

They hired the man behind Gagarina's staging this year, so the presentation will certainly be on point.

I wasn't talking about the "quality" of their song/act. Their act was cheap money-wise, literally I am talking about money. They didn't use any props, not even make-up. Well, nothing could help them at their age except face-lift. So, it was cheap in the sense that Russia did not have to spend (I don't know), 2 million dollars?!

So, Russia is bringing their A-game again. No matter who is their representative, they are playing it for win

I hope so. I look forward to the song, I'm curious about what they'll try to do this time.

Throwback Thursday:
Anybody remember Polina Gagarina, who participated in 2015 with a completely apolitical song and had absolutely nothing to do with Russian politics?
Now she has officially joined the #PutinTeam together with other apolitical Russians, like Dima Bilan:

Good for Polina and Dima! Putin has done so much for Russia. I can totally understand Polina's and Dima's engagement and view. It is so great to see that Russians are again proud of being Russians. It was really horrible to watch them in 90's when you could feel that they were embarassed of their own homeland. I am simply amazed how much things have changed in less than 20 years!!!

Of course, Polina and Dima have the right to do whatever they want. And they are not the only Russian celebrities who expressed their support for Putin. Anyone who is watching Russian popculture and politics closely, knows that many Russian superstars (who haven't been to ESC) support Putin. Has anyone on this forum protested Hollywood stars when they expressed their support for Hilary Clinton, who happens to be responsible for massacres in Lybia and other Arab countries??? I mean, come on, people, don't be hypocritical. Russian pop-stars are as political as everywhere else, and as Mrm pointed out, it's their absolute right to do whathever THEY THINK IT IS BEST/RIGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY. So, dear fellow ESC fans, stop hating singers for their beliefs. Hate them if they suck at singing

Regardless of profession, someone's beliefs ARE important. It's a measure of the person they are. I don't care if they are best singers or have the best songs. If I find out something in regards to their beliefs or politics that I don't like, then that of course will have an impact on how I view them.

Then you probably " hate " Madonna ... and many American stars who have supported Hilary Clinton or Tramp ..


So I'm wondering if you have anything against political engagement specifically Madonna

And if you do not, why do not you have it?
