Elena Drapeko, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture, advised the Russians to leave Eurovision “without tears”. This is how the State Duma deputy reacted to the decision of the executive producer of the contest, Claudio Fazulo, to deprive Russian citizens of the right to vote. This was reported by the “Moscow talking” radio station.
Eurovision has long been a politicized event. Eurovision has discredited itself and there is no need to worry about the fact that our artists probably won’t be there. We are now holding our own Good Vision, hopefully our viewers will see it on Channel One and on the Culture channel. This is not a competition, it is a performance of our folk artists. Therefore, Eurovision should leave without tears, ”said Drapeko.
The Dobrovision folk song festival was founded in 2016 with the support of People’s Artist of the USSR Iosif Kobzon and his assistant Oleg Nilov, cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova.
