A minute of fame at Eurovision

Dmitry Peskov calls not to politicize the Eurovision song contest - he is right, where it is further politicized. Russia has been conducting this struggle in the international arena since the beginning of its new history, since 1994. Historians will still write her chronicle. How Ernst equipped with “Eurovision” of one or the other gladiator, trying to predict a song conjuncture. And if the prima donna? Not fired. Someone fresh and unknown? By. Someone known to Europe? Undershoot. In Russian? In English? Duet or group? Girls? Grandmothers? Like re -abandoned on the embrasure - without a special swing and not Ernst (that year the candidate put forward the channel “Russia”) - Dima Bilan suddenly won, and Moscow used a historical chance to bring the struggle to a new level. As the participation of a great power turned an amateur view of the songs of small countries into a large race with millionth budgets and a national hysteria around the distribution of points.

And then the competition again goes to a new round. Now Eurovision is a continuation of the war by other means.

Wars have not interfered with the Olympics for a long time - in our time, different forms of sublimation of wars are peacefully coexisted. And the figures of the show-biz now need to take into account not so much the song conjuncture-the same Swedish hitmers write songs to everyone-how much the bends of the front line and the features of different volley systems. The draw for the participants of the Ukrainian Eurovision on January 31 took place under the roar of a cannonade in Avdeevka. And if military awards have long been presented at the headquarters of the Supreme Commander -in -Chief, then the singer’s choice for Eurovision can no longer do without advice with a bet.

The song of Julia Samoilova was presented to the public along with the news of her nomination. The video was shot in the half -empty studio of Channel One - it seems to be a concert number, but it is not clear for what reason. No musicians, no sub -sections, only buying up a phonogram. A few spectators are dispersed in stands with a clear goal to create a crowded impression. They say that they shot hastily - right on the eve of the statement that Samoilova would represent Russia in Kyiv.

There is nothing strange in Yulia Samoilova’s candidacy-she participated in regional song competitions, was the finalist of the television project “Factor A” on the Russia 1 channel, and performed at the opening of the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi. The method looks more interesting. So the governors and special representatives of the president are appointed - suddenly and not the one who everyone was waiting.

The video was shot in the half -empty studio of Channel One - it seems to be a concert number, but it is not clear for what reason. No musicians, no sub -sections, only buying up a phonogram.

The appointment of Samoilova was announced in the final information program of the first “Sunday time” - a few hours before the meeting of representatives of the countries participating in the competition in Kyiv. According to the Rules of Eurovision, the channel-gloss can call the candidate himself, free elections are not required, although many European countries still hold them. Once this happened with us-but now it would look inappropriate, right?

Until recently, Alexander Panayotov was considered the most likely candidate from Russia - perhaps he was brought up by a questionnaire: he was born in Zaporozhye, studied in Kyiv (yes, in the last century, in the USSR, but now this circumstance is an aggravating one). It was proposed to miss this “Eurovision” in the capital of a strategic enemy - not only the producers of Kirkorov and Prigozhin spoke for the boycott, but also the deputies of Milonov and Kobzon . It seems that this was going on, but loud and nutritious for the ratings the noise around the “Minute of Glory” prompted someone to think: Oh, because there is Julia Samoilova!

And then the great power rolls a fragile singer in a stroller - a universal weapon to the European arena. Try to challenge its right to represent Russia. Try not to let it go to the competition . Try not to have points for her. Try to say that Russia does not create conditions for people with disabilities. Try to assume that there are some calculations behind the girl in the stroller.

The calculation for the fact that yes, they will try, has already been justified. Julia’s nomination is violently discussed in media and social networks - and there were more reasons for indignation than could be imagined. Who scolds her English pronunciation, who is the decision to speak in a country fighting with the children of Donbass, who is a decision to play for a country, a hostile country fighting with the children of Donbass. And Joseph Kobzon, for example, believes that she is worthless to go to the competition of healthy performers . So many options are to match the slogan of the current Eurovision Celebrate Diversity .

Not only Peskov spoke about Julia, but also the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry , and our Maria Zakharova , and Andrei Makarevich . Noise with a margin is enough until May, the first channel will not have to test the info -fighters strainedly. But Ukraine has yet to decide whether to go to the principle or still let Samoilov into Kiev . If there, too, they will pull with the decision to the last, the Sassensa will increase. And what prospects will open if it is allowed! And if they are not allowed!

The condescending attitude to the disabled humiliates them. And it is not necessary, as Litvinova says, to operate this topic.

People with disabilities had previously happened to participate in Eurovision - but not in the role of a volley fire system. How will Julia Samoilova withstand this? After all, she still sing - quite healthy and sports Sergei Lazarev last year, training before Eurovision was brought to fainting . By the way, then the name of the Russian participant was announced in mid -December - six months before the competition. Now the mid -March - Yulia Samoilova, who had recently undergone the operation , remains to prepare two months.

But we found out - thanks to the dancer Smirnov, Pozner, Litvinova and the “minute of fame,” that the condescending attitude to the disabled humiliates them. And it is not necessary, as Litvinova says, to operate this topic.

In general, Julia herself wanted this - from childhood. Here she writes about her nomination: “Happiness. All that I need for happiness is the sun of the Safites, the surf of your ovations and the beating of the heart to the beat with music !!! ”

Diana Shurygina herself agreed to drink with future rapists. And then she herself agreed that from her story to be made as many as five issues of the show “Let them talk”. Her parents themselves agreed to take part in it. Renata Litvinova and Vladimir Pozner themselves agreed to play the villains in the “minute of fame” - and then agreed to develop the plot and explain to the camera with the dancer, who was offended .

Who forces whom? All themselves. Who is to blame? There was one channel employee, he was already fired . What to do? Relax and receive, if not pleasure, then compensation.

Channel One receives a surf of your applause and good ratings. Members of the jury “Minutes of Glory” receive a fee for work in the show and related inconvenience . Participants in the competition receive a minute of fame, it can be monetized. Diana Shurygina, in whom this minute stretched out so, received half a million subscribers, found a producer , advertises jewelry and came to her the last broadcast already in her. In war as in war.

Well, why is the “Eurovision” not a social elevator for the singer, who cannot use ordinary Russian elevator?

And you are not embarrassed, fasten the second leg.
