Just when you thought the Eurovision Song Contest couldn’t sink any lower, last night saw the most blatantly political decision ever, with the decision to award first place to a singer from the EU’s neo-Nazi puppet state Ukraine, rather than to the Russian favourite.
To add to the indecency, the Ukrainian entry featured an extremely controversial piece of propaganda against the decision of the people of the Crimea to return to Russian rule rather than face occupation and oppression by neo-Nazi ethnic cleansing gangs.
Jamala knocked Russia’s Sergey Lazarev into third with her song 1944 – which she dedicated to her great-grandmother and is reportedly about Stalin, Crimea and claims of ethnic cleansing.
There is of course no doubt that the deportation of ethnic minorities was a common crime of the Bolshevik regime, but to use such historic tragedies to fan the flames of modern conflict is highly irresponsible.
After the murder of peaceful Russian language civil rights protesters in Odessa, it is also thoroughly indecent to reward Ukraine in this way, and is another lurch down the slippery slope towards outright war in the geopolitical heart of Europe. So for the ultra-political Eurovision contest to be used to glorify today’s Ukraine is truly shocking.
Just in case any of our readers have been asleep these past two years, here are some images of the EU’s and NATO’s favourite Nazis on the march in Ukraine:
Is a nation which not only tolerates, but arms, genocidal neo-Nazi thugs such as these REALLY worthy even to participate in, let alone win, the Eurovision Song Contest?
