you dont screw around with russia
go take you pc to england
As a Russian, I feel very bad for her... She didn't deserve all that hate... I don't think that her song is bad at all, and I actually like it... I'm very upset that people of my country NEVER happy about the songs that we send on ESC...
Same..
@Brigitta Weiss every year 200 million people watch the contest, I Guess there are more gay people than russian people so why should we care more about russians than gay people?
@Brigitta Weiss lmao where the fuck are u from? Germany? Bc there are countries where eurovision is famous af and in some its kinda unknown. It's different in every country
My impression is that people are more upset about the singer's ethnicity than about the song itself.Even they do not like the song, there is no reason to hate Manizha personally so much.
@Brigitta Weiss What the fuck is wrong with you?
It's pretty a badass to be public person and support LGBT in Russia. Huge respect from central Asia !
Sure. But conflict is not because of her lgbt supportion, but because of the lyrics.
God doesn’t support LGBT so should Manizha use the voice God gave her to support it?
@@cultfiction3865, when was the last time you asked God for his opinion?
@@Slav24oO last night when I was reading my bible.
That’s the way that God tells us what his opinions are
Slav24oO the lyrics are good.
Lots of people adore her in Russia, especially with high educational and international background, young generation who speaks languages.
She is changing the society and the whole world. She is talented she is Russian and she is cool
I am sorry, sweetie, but it is not true. A LOT of very well educated and smart people in Russia detest this, so called, song. But I won't be surprised if she wins. It keeps up with the time where everything is topsy-turvy. Women want to be like men, men want to be like women. Sad.
@@CloudNumber23 you're completely right
Thing is that....she isnt Russian
@@CloudNumber23 women want equality, men aren’t trying to be like women, men are finally able to express their emotions. If you do your research you’ll see that men are almost 3x more likely to commit suicide because they fall into depression and society doesn’t allow them to talk about it. So if your so called educated people lack empathy or have never looked into social studies, then I’m sorry but you’re either surrounded by the wrong people or you’re wrong to call them educated
@@davidoffsal yesssss
Not everyone in Russia hates Manizha. Many support her with warmth and faith in victory. But will the media skip the hype to throw dirt on Russia. No never. Manizha is a Russian woman and no matter where she was born. More than 200 nationalities live peacefully in our country
Too bad that not everyone understands that
The problem is that She is from Tajikistan and apparently back in 2015 was living here in U.K.
does the fact she lived here at the time make her British?
And when she moved to Russia did that make her Russian?
If it did then it means that she is both Russian, British and Tajikistanish.
@@cultfiction3865 does it really matter tho? She identifies with Russian culture and want to represent the country, which is her right.
@@aoime22 I suppose it doesn’t matter if she wants to do it.
It just makes it a bit less authentic.
But musically I’m not a huge fan of the song.
Somehow it seems overrated to me for what it is
@@cultfiction3865 From what I know, she grew up in Russia, so here is the difference. Even if you're born in a different country, if you move to another you're more likely to grow up on that culture. So this is why I think she can relate to other russian women. She wants to represent those women that are oppressed by an old society that has to change and I see no harm in that. I might not be russian, but I can understand the message because I also come from a country with outdated practices and bad perspectives on women.
I'm very proud that Manizha represents my country this year. I admire her strength, her devotion and her willingness to be vocal about important things
I bet that sadly a lot will hate the song because it's feministic like Nettas "I'm not your Toy" got a lot of hate for that.
But the song is just very amazing. I speak no Russia so I had for the majority of the song no clue what it was about but I loved her energy and her voice. I think that she can place very high with that song.

People seem to forget that Russia is a multinational country. Russian women look different, speak different languages and each of them has the right to speak. Manizha is a true Russian woman. It's depressing that so many people still can't handle their xenophobic feelings in the 21st century.
In Russian there's even a seperate word for Russian (as in ethnicity; russkiy/russkaya) and Russian (as in resident of the geographical area of the Russian federation; rossiyskiy/rossiyskaya) - Manizha is undoubtly Russian in the latter sense of the world so I really don't get what the hate is about.
she spent her summers in Tajikistan, then several years in London and NY and the rest in Spb which is not even like the rest of Russia. there is nothing Russian about here, she s obsessed with her Tajic background and considers herself a citizen of the world. nope. you are wrong. there is literally nothing true about this woman.

yeah but russia has got to change.
the whole western world has been changing and starting to support LGBT+ and women rights.
russia is a very beautiful country but i'm afraid you guys will be seeing the world envolving and continuing to think the same shitty things as medieval people.
i'm not talking about all russian people, of course.
@@itsmeandrea138 it's true! but the problem is that the government is not trying to keep up with the times, but, on the contrary, is increasingly trying to "protect" Russia from the "harmful influence of the West"
For example, now our State Duma is considering the possibility of recognizing "propaganda of LGBT and feminism" as destructive content : ...)
When the authorities are doing everything to demonize certain movements, actively promoting the idea that they only bring harm, many do not even try to understand the situation.
That is why it was a great achievement for Russia that Manizha went to Eurovision with this very song! And I hope that there will be more such precedents, because many in our country are tired of tolerating such an attitude towards themselves, and the imposition of those very medieval ideas
As a russian i'm so embarrassment about this situation around her and song, but i hope she's know what many people love and support her! Good luck, Manizha!!
Нападают на Манижу, а слушают моргенштерна. Говорят, что она не русская, а как Жерару Депардье дали гражданство-так он самый русский из всех! Двойные стандарты у таких «русских».
ну нападают на неё по нац признакам только недоразвитые, что их слушать, убогих.
От России кто только не выступал на Евровидении, и к ним не было претензий "пояснить за национальность". На неё нападают за то, что она фем активистка, пользуясь национальностью лишь как поводом.
Если бы она была типичной певицей из разряда "поющих трусов", и пела бы какой нибудь "русский сахар" никто бы не хейтил
Друг попробовал мне объяснить, что основная часть русских хотят видеть на Евровидении национальности, по территории принадлежащие к России(отметив, что Кавказ не стоит принимать в расчет из-за пиздеца, связанного с ним). Поэтому не тронули тех же самых Бурановских бабушек.
И еще он отметил, что если от России поедет беларус(или представитель другой славянской национальности, кроме украинцев из-за политики) или скандинав, то такой реакции, как на Манижу, в общем, не будет.
Если я его правильно понимаю, то у нас существует бытовой расизм(ну, и не стоит забывать про плохое отношение к феминизму)
@@imtiredsomuch да, если спросить нац"меньшинства", то они могут много рассказать о бытовом расизме. Я даже не подозревала что они с подобным сталкиваются.
То же касается и русских в регионах где их мало, в той же Якутии, например, русские так же сталкиваются с бытовым расизмом.
Печально что в 2021 расизм все ещё процветает.
Но мне казалось что все это не касается медийных лиц, спортсменов, учёных и тд.
Я тоже расстроилась из-за литал биг. Но послушав её: голос, энергия, душа, песня которая несёт смысл всего рода. Поверьте те Русские, которые судят людей по своему оценочному мнению они не Русские. Не понимаю кто сказал, что Русские это нация - это принадлежность или состояние души такое сильное, но терпимое к испытаниям( наверное поэтому нас называют пофигистами - много страдали и научились ценить жизнь и терпеть невзгоды) просто один начал гнать говно и другие подхватили. Сидят как задроты и мира не видят.
girl.. Be strong show them who's the boss
Im Russian and this is so funny BBC propaganda. We hate her because her song is shit and LittleBig was 10x better. Never saw someone in Russia hating her because of LGBT or else. WTF. LOL.
@@timetowatch2379 I’m Romanian and I love her song. It’s literally only Russians who dislike it. You guys ruin the chances for a good ranking.
@@_o..o_1871 Little big had chances to win Eurovision. She is not for sure. Thats just my opinion. I dont hate her or smth else. If you like her song...ok, your opinion.
@@timetowatch2379 Nah yall hate her just because she had the guts to call your society out.
@@_o..o_1871 I am also Greek and I think that, this song has no melody, no rhythm and the lyrics, although they have a deep meaning, are in my opinion slanderous to women who are Russian and it is not like that. You know, even if some Russian women are like that, I, as a Greek woman, if I listened to such a corresponding Greek song that spoke like that about some Greek women, I would not like it. I would not want it to be heard all over Europe even if it were true, because I would consider it a slander for my country. But to me, the lyrics are not so much like the music of the song that I think there is no melody in it. Otherwise I like the singer, she has a lot of energy and I think she will do well!
Manizha, we are very proud of you. You empower not only us Tajiks but all people in Central Asia. Go and rock and roll baby! Show the world what does it mean to be a proud Tajik Russian..
for your info, this song makes no sense in RUssian. she used half the words wrong.
My favourite Russian entry in a while, not only has it got a good message but it's nice for it to been Russian and have ethnic vibes, as opposed to another dime-a-dozen generic English pop songs. Good luck from Australia, Manizha!
isn't it more like American hip hop vibes in Tajik costumes?
@@toobalkain no
Yes! I fell in love with the sound of her song and the message was just a cherry on top. Greetings from 🇮🇪 & 🇵🇱
That's so true. I love how she incorporated culture and empowerment into her performance.
This is one of the best Eurovision entries from russia, after the grandmas ofc
Russia is a modern country, we have internet, fashion, show business, ect. But what many don’t know is that our country suffers from bigotry. There’s homophobic, racist and sexist propaganda on TV and in our government. Even our “beloved” president feels enlightened to make transphobic jokes on live translations.
Manizha is so brave and I feel so sorry that she suffers so much hatred. Sadly there’s too many bigotry in Russia. Especially from young far-right men.
heh “beloved” 😉
«а я вот *очень* люблю господина ПЖ» 😏
The point is that people need to learn that most of the hate comes from politicians and the media. You can never judge a whole country and its inhabitants by their politicians or the media. Despite everything I'd still love to visit Saint Petersburg one day and travel on the trans sib railway.
@@ehmha3641 No, not really. I don't like Putin's policies and most of my friends too. But we hate the alphabet people. Putin is not conservative, he just pretends to be one to score points. IN FACT, the current government is the most tolerant one we could ever have, they are kind of pushing some limits on your people. Believe me, if we had a true democracy, we would be much more "bigoted". Soon you'll remember Putin's policies on alphabet people with sweet words 😉
@@antonslavik4907 what kind of drugs are you on?btw, your bs doesn't make any sense. Learn english and stop using google translate or just stfu. Thank you!
@@ehmha3641 In your opinion, what will happen on the LGBT topic after the end of Putin's mandate?
She won the public vote to represent Russia.. if people had an issue with her, then they should have tuned in and voted for the other contestants... This is absolutely uncalled for..
You’re right, it’s not like the whole russian public hates her, many people who I know actually love her song and it tops the russian charts on Apple Music, spotify etc. There’s always bunch of haters you have to deal with in this country. As a russian guy with central asian background I send all my love and support for her.
she didn't. it was a fake by a Channel which pushes kremlin propaganda and airs shows, where women are said they are too old or too promiscuous, or too cheap or have a kid out of wedlock, etc. one host even used a woman as a human prop to explain circumcision (the woman's head and a sweater pulled over). the channel is chauvinistic. but they try to steal feminist agenda with this hack .
I'm russian I love her so much, even before Eurovision. She is an amazing singer and a good person. She supports women suffering domestic abuse and violence, I admire her. A lot of people in Russia also support her, feminists and lgbt+ activists. The lyrics of her song are really powerful, very important message.
Hope she wins
Why? The song is bad and her voice is also not good.
@@namenlos40 Is LittleBig better (they could represent the country this year)? Even though their music is very threadbare, their voices don't match very well. Manizha's song is the first song from Russia in russian language in many years, which speaks of the breakdowns of modern society in my country
@@mintnmoon do not pay attention, apparently, this hater Manizhi came here)
the song is great. my 2nd place. at least better than any russian entry since 2016 for sure.
@@namenlos40 it’s called being an ARTIST what she makes is art and art isn’t supposed to be just beautiful and good that’s not the purpose of Art ,ART is supposed to make you feel something and she has achieved that by making you feel the NEED to come to the comments section and to write something whether it be good or bad about it .That is ART and she has done her job well
Russia got this in the bag, she will actually win with this song!
Let's qualify to the finals first. I think many Russians who live abroad may not vote for her. But I hope they are not so much xenophobic.
Wow, she is amazing and so genuine. If I weren’t living in Canada and back in Ireland, I’d vote for her purely based on this interview. Also, the song is really growing on me.
You're cuter man!
I never give a damn about Eurovision, it's been years since I watched it. Having heard this song though and seeing all the hate it created towards Manizha, I want to support her with all my heart. As a Russian woman, I am ashamed of the barbaric behaviour of my co-citizens. Unfortunately, xenophobia and homophobia are huge in Russia and it's getting worse as it is fuelled by the government. Good luck for the final, Manizha, break that wall ❤
🙏🙏🙏
I hope she is receiving 24/7 protection

@Slavic Melody "russians are europeans" lmao good one 😂
I am Buryat ( which is ethnically Mongolian republic in Russia) - I am a rightful citizen of Russian federation. I don’t get surprised when people from abroad don’t realise there is Asian looking people in Russia- but when you come to European part of Russia and then get comments : what you can’t be Russian. It’s pretty disappointing. RUSSIA is not Slavic only- it’s not only Moscow and Saint Petersburg, it’s not only orthodox Russian church and Cyrillic! It’s a multicultural country, variety of religions, verity of looks. Go Manizha! All my love and support !
Yeah they shout about Russia being slavic country but i wonder what would they say if seperatism would start in asian part. 😂
Thank you for saying that. I am from Tatarstan
I am also a product of a Russia, born in Cheljabinks with western russian looking typical mother (and German from russian DNA) and a father, which mothers family was Ukraine and his fathers family was Tataran. My father look more like my grandpa and I look like my dad. I am not typical slavic looking, because of my browner skin, my brown hair and my "doe-looking" brown eyes. Still I am a russian woman! ❤

hey if it's ok to ask you, do people in ukraine have better views towards lgbtq?
@@rwyssy Hard to say. I’ve spent most of my recent years out of Ukraine so maybe things changed but from my mom’s perspective, no one cares much about it. From my perspective, Ukraine is still pretty conservative so I don’t think LGBT is really as respected as it should be. There have been pretty successful gay prides tho

The children of Abraham will never forgive you
@mymeeel you just think the sky friends are actually real, and are angry when we point out that you are delusional 😂
Christians are also supposed to be logical and compassionate. And they can denounce things as wrong while maintaining a spirit of love. Unfortunately people in general aren't loving or compassionate (or real Christians) so they often fall short of that sadly...
Don’t be afraid of moving forward, Manija! Your future is bright, inshaalloh.And I wish you all the best for your new achievements!
she's amazing.. kisses n good luck from Turkey
The saddest thing is, that people in Russia don’t like her for her ethnicity.
They don’t care about her talent neither her hard work, but they more care about her being a “tajik” girl.
I’m not speaking about all Russians, because some did showed their support, but unfortunately very few of them.
I hope they can realize how talented she is and don’t judge her by her nationality and be less racist about it.
I think that plenty of Russians showed our support since she won the popularity vote in Russia and that is how she is representing the country this year. But yes, I agree, it is incredibly sad that some ppl are so cruel and frankly not very smart to hate somebody for above said reasons.
@Artoria Pendragon, stole? Concured like America or British empier, or litteraly any other country in the world. Please stop demonizing Russians. Not cool.
@Artoria Pendragon oh hey there, since this is the internet, you might want to speak a bit more carefully...
false. most of Eurovision contestants were not Russian. We don't like this song which appropriates and mocks our culture. and how Manizha handled critisism -instead of admitting her fault of using slanderous words, she doubled down turned round and is calling everyone a racist who stand up for our culture .
@Tinnu, right, but if you really know the history, you would know that Russia once was colonized by Tatars and Mongols, and paid contributions, ppl from the east attacked Russians, stole, kill, raped. So yeah, I don't feel bad that the tables were turned, and that we concured the land to bring pice to our borders. Btwnever treated it as a colony. I do feel bad that some Russians don't realize that saying nasty things about minorities is extremely stupid and destroys the country from inside.
It's easy being an activist in the west, try being an activist in other parts of the world. Thank you for what you're doing
I’m Russian and I like Manizha’s song for Eurovision, because it’s partly in Russian and inspired by Russian folk music. I think Eurovision is the contest where European nations should share their own culture, that’s why I’ve always supported contestants who sing in their mother tongue even if I don’t understand the meaning of song. It’s true, a lot of Russian people don’t like the fact that Manizha goes to Rotterdam with this song, but it’s completely wrong to say that the main and only reason of it - Russian nationalism and misogyny. Firstly, Manizha was compared to Little Big, nobody else was expected to represent Russia this year but this music band. Russians were longing to see Little Big in Rotterdam, because their single “UNO” became a hit. Secondly, Manizha’s music is definitely not typical for a Eurovision contestants from Russia and it’s targeted at young people, who hardly watch Eurovision, to tell the truth. So, there are a lot of another very important reason why a part of Russian audience doesn’t support Manizha and her song. Some people didn’t like Manizha’s nationality, but, once again, it’s incorrect to say ALL Russian Manizha’s haters don’t support her just because of it. Unfortunately, this wrong point was main in this video and this has unfairly worsened the image of Russia and Russian people.
For me her performance was very eye-opening. I’m a lesbian from Finland so I’ve learned to think that basically all Russians hate gay people and don’t care if women face domestic abuse. But seeing her perfom made me remember that, you know, it’s a big country. There are a lot of conservative people, but there are all kinds of other people there as well and it’s not right for me to stereotype Russians that way. The fact that someone is Russian says nothing about their values or personality.
It's ok to represent your culture. But it's not ok to rape your culture and use it for political propaganda.

Well, I'm Russian woman and I don't like her songs at all, BUT I support her message and understand that no one deserves such a terrible hate (except for criminals, dictators and etc ofc). It's a shame, that a lot of our people are so rude and cruel to wish Manizha's death only because they disagree with her opinion and/or don't like her music. I love my country, but all this cruelty makes me really sad.

I am not a Russian woman, but I admire her - her strength, determination and open-mindedness towards gender equality and the LGBT community, which in Russia (can’t speak for Tajikistan) is very frowned upon and not widely accepted. To express those views takes guts, and that is very admirable and amazing of her.
Nothing it how it looks. She is not an independent strong singer who decided to express these values. Anyone remotely popular who dares speak about lgbt rights risks fines and even prison. She is a poor girl with right values and believes that was barbaricly used by the Russian homophobic and misogynistic state propaganda to smear some shit on her, on her values and on her message.
I fell in love with the way Manizha expresses her art. I loved watching her in the interviews (especially with Nikkie) and I hope we hear more from her in the future.
Best wishes from 🇮🇪 & 🇵🇱

@Du Hast ABBA won...;)
I am a Latvian born Russian and I admire Manizha's art and her social justice standpoint, her courage and vulnerability, her sincerity. Her art is genuine, not commercialised, and she creates music with heart-felt inspirational messages about de-stigmatisation, breaking of the stereotypes and promotes self-love and self-acceptance, all the while supporting charities that help refugees, LGBT community and victims of domestic violence in Russia. I think she is a fantastic role model to the young generation, full of compassion, acceptance and open-hearted, brave and daring, whilst being able to retain her divine feminine qualities. My Russian soul feels so proud. I feel that finally Russia has a contestant that is genuine, raw and not some sort of polished westernised version, so worthy! All points go toooooo MANIZHA!!!!
The woman who says that she can't accept her as an Russian woman. I will happily accept her since she's a great woman who has nothing to be ashamed of💙
We love Manizha and support her. She's the definition of charisma and power. So proud of her. :)

1. Who is cancelled
2. They arent actually cancelled because you can always hear them talk about being cancelled. If they were cancelled like in the past, you would never hear from the again.
It’s always been a thing tho. It’s not just the problem now. People are so different in all departments. It is what it is..
Unfortunately, there is no party to be in line with who one may blame - its the narrow-minded xenophobic conservative vox populi, the faceless brainless tasteless crowd... Not a majority, I hope... Good luck to Manizha!
*Russia* - puts in jail for being gay or any gay propaganda.
*Russia* - also sends a contestant to sing about about gay rights.
No jail time for gays there. Not legally. No gay propaganda on TV and media is true.
This woman is more brave and cool than all "normal" Russian males . Support from Italy!
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha bro...
@@Јордан-р1ы he's right tho
Why brave? There is no persecution for views like hers in Russia for artists or public activists. Though still it's not a good choice for political role if ones is going to get voices. But she risks nothing only attracts youth.
She is so great! All the best to you Manizha!
Manizha is the hugest inspiration, she has so much bravery and confidence
She'll win!!!
I hope so... Anything but Bulgaria or Switzerland. Those songs are overrated.
@@Mr__Peanuts same mean to me
Haters gonna hate! We love you Manizha and support you. They aren't smart enough to get the message! Stay strong.
Cringe.
@@AlanWattResistance Actually not. Far from cringe.
@@KristinaDragas Nah mate, super cringe.
Манижа, мы с тобой ❤️
Tajikistan with you Manizha.
Take her back please.
@@4everfelice racism and nazis live in every Russian heart
@@milanadenis1924 wasn't russia on the allied side though, lol. russians love her, why would she be in Eurovision otherwise? The haters are only a small minority
Time for Russia to do some self reflecting from the voices of its youth - Heres to a win for Manizah and change in the misogynist Russian state!
Let's not mix things here - the Russian and then Soviet women got all their rights straight after the revolution, over 100 years ago. The state was always supportive and promoting women - from the best childcare to education opportunities, healthcare and all kind of help which is uknown to many Western women until now, let alone 50 years ago. The problem is that the culture is still patriarchic in many ways and the angst of " what will people say" dictates to many women, especially less educated or those from smaller towns ,the rules of conduct. That's exactly what Manizha is talking about.
@@rominaromina6658 and a huge problem with domestic violence as well
She is amazing bring all the respect she deserved it , she is an icon and human
Manizha, pay no mind to petty foolish people, stay strong, more people wish you well and support you.
Мое мнение: я думаю, что ее никогда не следует ненавидеть, она потрясающая и должна продолжать в том же духе
Translated into english: I think that she should never be hated, she is amazing and should keep up the good work
She is very strong! Good luck Manizha! Support and love from Azerbaijan 💙
Great singer and great woman doubtless. All my support to her, she will do an amazing performance in Rotterdam for sure.
Thank you girl. You run the world ❤️ support from Serbia.
Просто Умница и Красавица. Горжусь, что у нас в стране такие женщины!
She have really good voice. She is very hip hop!
I feel bad not only for Manizha, but for Russian society that hates her because of her ethnicity. I'm not Russian, I'm Vietnamese, but I was born in Russia and I identify myself as Russian. People state that Manizha shouldn't represent Russia in Eurovision because she is from Tadzhikistan, and I find it extremely offensive that neither I nor Manizha can be Russian man/woman and represent Russian Federation. It's a pure racism. I think that not or not only blood and DNA make people Russian. Manizha deserves to be called a strong Russian woman, but not those filthy racists that bully her.
cool but multiculturalism and diversity to the extreme can result into balkanization.
Russia because it was an empire says a lot of nonsense when it comes to politics. this is why the rest of Eastern countries don't like Russia that much.
and when it comes to ethnicity. to some extent, yes it does matter a lot.
this post racial/ethnic society is a pretty BS idea. it can only work with a select few countries in the world. not all of them.
the standard beauty for China of example will alwat be a ethnic Han Chinese.
for Russia? a slavic woman with blue eyes and blonde hair. this is just a fact.
and you said, you are Vietnamese.
you will always be Vietnamese, even if you have a Russian citizenship. sorry but this is just a fact.
I can never be a true Japanese person. only a citizen. I'm in reality a Romanian. a white person.
Manizha, I respect you soooo much! I first disliked the song, but then I started to understand what it was about and now girllll you are killing it! Being a female in itself is hard, but I can only imagine how hard it must have been to grow up in a country you are not born in. Maybe a lot of Russians don't like your song, but trust me a lot of other people do and I think you are going to do amazing in Eurovision!
She is amazing! Made me feel patriotic for the first time in many years.
I grew up in Ukraine, and am still dealing with homophobia from my family. Thank you Mazhana for paving the way for more acceptance and love 💕
Good luck in Eurovision!!
I am russian. And Manizha is amazing!!! We need this!
I love you and your song! Pure art! Keep doing what you do. Love from Rotterdam!
Mad respect for her.
Respect woman! 💪🏾 Haters gonna hate, negativity is on them.
Ты классная,не слушай других(сердечко,сердечко,сердечко)
Keep singing and keep fighting sista
Love you Manizha! Stand up for those rights! Love from Azerbaijan🇦🇿
There are an abundance of feminist songs in Eurovision however this is the only one that is truly empowering to me because I know this woman have had to fight to be on that stage. Doesn’t hurt that she’s incredibly animated and funny on stage c:
I'm Russian, and it was so lovely to hear a song from our country that finally had some good goddamn message, not just the pretty vocals. Manizha is amazing, I'm proud that she was representing our country this year, and I'm also so sorry for her having to face this much ridiculous bs. I'm so tired of our media portraying even tiniest bits of feminism as extremism, and this is why we need people like Manizha so damn much. We need more women empowerment, and I'm here for all of brave people who are not afraid to raise their voice 💖
I'm Russian and I will say that she HAS to win to wipe hater's noses!

Huge respect for this amazing singer and artist!
No words for all those miserable Russians who criticized her, people with such poor mentality who are nothing but just victims of their own hate, prejudices and disrespect...
In her case the problem is not the singer, or the song, or the message. The choice of who to send to Eurovision is completly in hands of the Putin state propaganda. The same propaganda that totally supports the president, the parlament and the government that adopt totally disgusting homophobic laws. Recently the Parmalat adopted a bunch of anti women laws. Her message in Eurovision was perceived as an offensive mockery not because of the singer but because of the federal television totally fake and hipocritical. The girl acts as if she didn't know she sold the soul to the devil. A real human rights activist would never ever ever participate in any state activities such as going to represent Russian homophobic government at Eurovision.
There is one second side of the medal.. Just so you may have a vague idea of just how fucked up Putin regim is. They are in need of constantly degrading European values of freedom, inclusivity and respect for human rights. They have chosen this girl and this message with a very specific purpose of building her publicly.
I don't care where is she from and what's her nationality, I just do not like her song for Eurovision.
So that's not the point of this news.
It's okay, as long as we don't hurt anyone, I'm not a big fan either
I voted for her in ESC 2021. I don't speak Russian so I couldn't understand the lyrics, but the message still came through very clearly. I think her song was really powerful and despite of the langauge barrier, it communicated her message beautifully. She did a great job and I honestly think Russia should be proud of her. Lots of love here from Denmark!
Strong woman. Strong entry. Love to our Tajik sister. ❤️love from China🇨🇳🇹🇯 good luck in Eurovision.
