When a poor Ukrainian song
beats a beautiful Russian song…
This Saturday, May 12th was
held the Eurovision Song Contest, which saw the coronation in the final moments
of Ukraine, the nose and the beard of the Great Russian favorite yet. This is a
protest song about the deportation of Crimean Tatars by the Soviet Union which
was crowned. A "political" victory, denounced the Russians who are
threatening to boycott the upcoming competition.
"To me that means (...)
that the history of Crimean Tatars has been heard, that the history of Ukraine
was heard, the pain was heard."
No, Russia has not left the
Crimea annexed two years ago, and this is not the speech of a Ukrainian
official. These words are signed Jamala, Ukrainian singer, 32, who attended
Saturday 12 May to 61st Eurovision Song Contest. With his song 1944, a tribute
to the Crimean Tatars (including his own grandmother) deported by Stalin that
year, she won the competition before ... Australia and Russia, yet overwhelming
favorites. Scandal in Moscow, where a "political" victory is
denounced, calling for a boycott of next year.
"This is not the Ukrainian singer Jamala and his song in 1944 that won the Eurovision 2016, is politics that defeated the art," and deplored the Russian senator, Frantz Klintsevitch, behind the idea of the boycott.

Admittedly, the national champion
Sergei Lazarev had the favor of the predictions before the start of the
competition. Besides, it is one that has received the most public votes.
However, insufficient to make up the gap with Ukraine was the second most
acclaimed country by the national juries, including those of the former Soviet
Union such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania and Moldova. Hence the
impression of "political battle" that the Russians may feel.
With the victory of Jamala,
Ukraine will host Eurovision next year. In this respect and in appreciation,
the singer said: "Thank you Europe - Welcome to Ukraine! "The
question is whether Russia will accept the invitation.
If Jamala would not mix the
music with politics it would be better. I think!
The Russian President Vladimir
Putin does not mix politics with music; he knows what is best for the people. Recently
he said “In Russia, lives Russians. Any minority from anywhere, if it wants to
live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should
respect the Russian law. If they want Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to
those places where that’s the state law. Russia does not need minorities,
minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privilege, or try to
change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell
“Discrimination””.
Saisi!
