Experts have identified the likely winners of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021. According to the available statistical information, the most likely to win is the representative of Malta, the singer Destiny Ciucuniere. The chances of her triumph were estimated at 18 percent. In second place, according to bookmakers, may be the Swiss musician John Muharremai, also known as Gjon's Tears, with 13 percent. French artist Barbara Pravy has 11 percent. Italy and Bulgaria also entered the top five favorites of the competition, with 7 percent each.
Pop singer Manizha, representing Russia at Eurovision, according to experts, may take 14th place. The probability of her winning is estimated at two percent.
In March of this year, bookmakers named the potential winner of Eurovision in 2021. Experts also predicted the first place in the song contest for the singer from Malta Destiny Chukuniere, who will perform the song Je Me Casse.
Moscow investigators after the appeal of ANO Veteranskie Vesti began checking the song of the singer Manizhi "Russian Woman", with which she will represent Russia at Eurovision, TASS reports, citing a law enforcement source. According to him, the song will be checked for signs of incitement to hatred or enmity.
The material of the check was registered in the Ostankino Investigation Department, the agency's interlocutor added. The result of the check can be both the initiation of a case and a refusal to initiate, about which the applicant will be notified.
ANO "Veteranskie Vesti" in its address to the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin said that the stage performance of Manizhi "is aimed at gross insult and humiliation of the human dignity of Russian women on the basis of their attitude to nationality."
According to the authors of the appeal, the issue "publicly attributed to Russian women (the Russian people) a deliberately distorted, derogatory, aesthetically and socially negative image", which contradicts the constitution and policy of the Russian state.
The complainants believe that Manizha's "extremely negative image of a Russian woman - a representative of the Russian people - has an insulting and humiliating effect on a significant part of the Russian public, who is respectful of Russian culture."
And since the singer is a native of Tajikistan, her performance, according to the organization, "quite predictably provokes a conflict situation between representatives of the Russian and Tajik people, that is, provokes interethnic tension and enmity." Bastrykin was asked to open a criminal case under Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on extremism "and immediately stop" the distribution of Manizhi's video clip.
After winning the national selection for Eurovision, the singer received streams of criticism and hate, including because of her Tajik origin. In response, the girl released a comic investigation about herself, in which the "expert" proves that Manizha is not just not Russian, but in general "not a person", but salt.
In addition to users of social networks, politicians also share their opinion about Manizhi's work. Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko said that "these are horses-people and, in general, some kind of nonsense." She also instructed to request information from Channel One on how the voting procedure for the national selection for Eurovision is going on.
