Eurovision Fact #438:

Manizha's iconic dress that she started her 2021 entry 'Russian Woman' in was crafted out of pieces of fabric sourced from all across Russia.

Svetlana Maskimova, who heads the Non-government organization of Yakut National Dress Masters, stated that pieces of fabric were donated to be sewn into the dress.

Manizha's own mother commented on the fact that it was very difficult to source the fabric piece from Yakutia -- officially known as the Republic of Sakha. Their pannel was "...in the form of 5 harakh [5 eyes], which has a protective meaning, is sewn in the “kybytyk tigii” technique.”

ESC Insight Presets... Eurovision Wars: Russia vs Ukraine (2017-2021)

In this episode of the Eurovision Wars podcast... Phil Dore picks up the story in 2017 when the Contest moved to Kyiv. Both Russia in 2017 and Ukraine in 2019 managed to kick themselves out of the Contest before the show even begins. Sergei Lazarev returns, and in 2021 Russia sends a surprisingly progressive artist with a feminist anthem.

The Eurovision Song Contest cannot help but be a lens on society, and none more so when issues of war, dissent, and politics come to the fore. In 2022, Eurovision Wars was a Spotify exclusive; we are proud to welcome Phil Dore to the ESC Insight team, and we are delighted to present Eurovision Wars to a wider audience over the next weeks and months.

I mean Manizha and Little Big are both against the war, Little Big even left Russia because of that

I know but, again, not all people have the same courage, chance, support, means and whatever else you can think of as helpful in such a dreadful situation to face it in the best way public opinion would expect them to. Especially when the public opinion is that of people living far from dangerous situation, not experiencing it first hand. I'm not trying to defend the guy, just remembering you, me and all people reading this random thought to keep our mind open and think, re-think and think again before judging :)

Eurovision Fact #437:

Manizha's 'Russian Woman,' which represented Russia in 2021, was the first Russian entry in 12 years to feature lyrics in Russian. 2009's 'Mamo' by Anastasia Prikhodko was the previous song to feature Russian.

It should be noted that the 2012 representatives Buranovskiye Babushki's song 'Party for Everybody' did not exclusively feature English lyrics, but it did not use Russian as the other featured language. It used Udmurt, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet and is spoken within Russia, but is its own distinct language.

PARIS, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Afghan female athlete Manizha Talash, a member of the refugee Olympic team at the Paris Games, displayed the words "Free Afghan Women" on her cape during her breaking routine in the competition's pre-qualifiers on Friday.

Political slogans and statements are banned on the field of play and on podiums at the Olympics, meaning Talash could face a potential sanction.
