Singer Alexei Chumakov said that he would not have gone to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest if he had received such an offer. According to him, not a single Russian artist, except perhaps Dima Bilan, gained popularity in Europe.

“What, do they know Ruslan Alekhno in Europe? Not. Do they know Polina Gagarina and Sergei Lazarev there? Of course not. I respect my colleagues, they are the most talented guys. But what was the point for them to participate in Eurovision? To become a little more popular in Russia? “

As the husband of the singer Yulia Kovalchuk added, this competition could be a grave for the artist. If you fail to take first place, then at home you are simply mixed with mud. According to Chumakov, it is more important for him not to fight for ephemeral success in a dubious competition, but to fight for the attention of people who love him. The performer also noted that Eurovision is an extremely politicized competition, where the participant’s talent does not affect the final result. “AiF”.

Recall that this year Russia at Eurovision is represented by the singer Manizha. She has already reached the final. The star performs the composition “Russian Woman”. The final will take place on May 22 in Rotterdam.
