Russia will return to ESC despite the political crisis between them and Ukraine. It will be a pair of siblings that will be their representative in Copenhagen in two weeks, as the Sisters Tolmachevy (pictured) will perform "Shine."
"Shine" is a simple, but good alternative song with good vocals that aren't mainstream. Plain and simple. They will perform in the first semifinal and will qualify for the grand final. How would you guys feel if both Russian and Ukrainian (more later) entries qualify for the final in the midst of their political run-ins at the current time? Could be weird.
As far as Russia goes in the ESC landscape, the Buranovskie Babushki's "Party for Everybody" from Baku 2012 (finished runners-up in final to Loreen Talhaoui) is to me the best and greatest song for Russia in the ESC of all time. End of story. This song is good too, and so was last year's song, "What If?" by Dina Garipova. Good luck.
Up next: Valentina Monetta "Maybe."
