A wiki with 73 paragraphs, 160 citations. 2007: • Ukraine was represented by Verka Serduchka with the song "Dancing Lasha Tumbai." • Allegations arose that the song contained political subtext and that the phrase "Lasha Tumbai" was a mondegreen of "Russia goodbye." • Serduchka denied these claims, stating that "Lasha Tumbai" meant "churned butter" in Mongolian. 2009: • Russia was represented by Ukrainian singer Anastasia Prikhodko in the Eurovision Song Contest held in Moscow. • She sang the song "Mamo" in both Ukrainian and Russian. • Following Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, Prikhodko denounced Russia's actions and stopped performing there. 2014 and 2015: • Russia's intervention in Ukraine and annexation of Crimea in 2014 led to increased tension. • The Russian contestants, Tolmachevy Sisters (2014) and Polina Gagarina (2015), faced booing from the audience due to political opposition. • The 2015 contest introduced 'anti-booing technology' due to excessive booing in the previous year. 2016: • Ukraine's Jamala won the contest with the song "1944," inspired by the deportation of Crimean Tatars. • Russian officials criticized the song, claiming it violated Eurovision rules against political content. • The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continued, with some officials suggesting boycotting the 2017 contest. 2017: • Russia's entrant Yuliya Samoylova received a three-year travel ban from Ukraine. • The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) attempted to find a solution for Samoylova to perform, but Russia declined offers. • Russia ultimately withdrew from the contest due to the ban. 2019: • Maruv, Ukraine's selected artist for Eurovision, faced controversy over her willingness to perform in Russia. • Disputes over contracts and Russia-Ukraine relations led to Maruv's withdrawal, and Ukraine did not participate in the contest. 2022: • Ukraine's national selection winner, Alina Pash, faced allegations of entering Crimea in violation of Ukrainian laws. • Alina Pash withdrew her candidacy, and Kalush Orchestra replaced her as the Ukrainian entrant. • Russia's invasion of Ukraine led to its exclusion from the contest.
