Russia was excluded from the Eurovision Song Contest after the commencement of the Ukrainian invasion war. Now Russia is organizing its own international singing competition at Intervision.
For the first time in the 1960s, the return of competition was reported in February. The last time the competition was held in 1980, when the winning trophy was handed over to the Finnish star Marion Rung.
The competition will be held in Moscow in September. Participants are accepted as countries that share traditional Russian values.
Only one participant
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov Earlier announced that more than 25 countries have expressed their interest in the competition.
Now Helsingin Sanomat saysthat the competition has had difficulty finding participants.
HS reached an anonymous source from the TV channel pervy. According to the source, the situation in the scenes of the song competition is confusing.
Currently, the competition has only one confirmed participant, a Kyrgyzstonian band Trio Nomad. According to Tass, a Russian representative is singer Shaman, real name Jaroslav drronov. However, his participation has not been confirmed.
According to Helsingin Sanomat, the song competition itself says on its website that 21 countries will participate in the competition. In addition, there are eight countries on the list that may participate. For example, Bolivia and Ethiopia are among the uncertain participants.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Russia has been appointed Chairman of the Intervision Organizing Committee Dmitri charnyšenko and Chairman of the Supervisory Board Sergei Kirijenko.
Ebu justified the exclusion of Russia out of the Eurovision Song Contest by the fact that the military action does not fit in with the song competition that combines peoples.
“Military measures will in no way fit in with the event that unites European peoples,” Ebu outlined in 2022.
