If this is true:
"Russia – Despite no official confirmation of participation, Russian-Tajikistani singer Manizha stated during an interview at the Moscow Pre-Party for the 2018 contest that she may represent Russia in the 2019 contest with an unreleased song, titled "I Am Who I Am". Likely next year Russia will take part under the turn of the VGTRK channel, after an agreement of both channels in March 2017 stating that if Julia Samoylova was banned from participating in Eurovision 2017, then Pervy Kanal could send her the following year; and in 2019 VGTRK was going to be in the charge of Russian selection for Eurovision 2019."
Ii would be fantastic, I checked her, I loved it and it would be so fresh for Russia...
