Matvienko commented on the song from Russia for Eurovision

According to RIA Novosti, Senator Elena Afanasyeva raised the issue of the song in the Federation Council.

“If you are not familiar with the text of this song, I recommend it ... These are some kind of horses, some kind of nonsense.

I don’t understand at all what this is about, ”said Matvienko.

Also, the speaker of the Federation Council instructed Afanasyeva to request information from Channel One on how the voting procedure for choosing a Russian Eurovision participant is going on.

In turn, the press service of the First Channel reported that the song for Eurovision was chosen by audience voting.

“Ernst & Young watched the voting and confirmed the compliance of the voting and counting of votes with the selection rules.

Of course, at the request of the Federation Council, we are ready to provide data on this vote, ”the agency quotes the channel's press service.

Earlier it was reported that Manizha will perform in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest on May 18.

As reported by Nation News, music critic Ilya Legostaev commented on the voting data on Channel One, according to which the singer Manizha will perform from Russia at Eurovision in 2021.
