The main scandal around the “Song of the Year” flared up this year in connection with the arrival of Sofia Rotaru. She recalled last year's refusal to participate in the show “Because of the difficult political situation in Ukraine”, which she is a citizen, as well as owning a hotel in Crimea with actual residence in Kyiv. For and against the arrival of Rotar, Joseph Prigozhin, deputy Pushkov, Yuri Loza, Lev Leshchenko, Angelina Vovk and others spoke. According to the opponents of the arrival of the singer, she “despises Russia”, goes here only to make money on corporate parties and generally sponsored the ATO. According to the supporters, the star did not show any Russophobia. Everyone knows her songs and loves from childhood, and it’s generally difficult to imagine the “song of the year” without a Rotaru, who has been playing this show since 1973.

As a result, the artist confirmed her participation in the concert and took a place in the first lines of the posters. The concert will be shown by the channel "Russia 1" in the New Year's broadcasting grid.

Recall that the television festival "Song of the Year" has existed since 1971. Sofia Rotaru sang 92 songs in him, Lev Leshchenko - 70, Joseph Kobzon participated in 46 finals, Valery Leontyev in 36, Valentina Tolkunov, Laima Vaikule, Igor Nikolaev, Philip Kirkorov, Irina Allegrova in 25, Edita Pieha in 22, Alla Pugacheva at 21.
