Russia made its debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 but didn’t win until Dima Bilan lifted the trophy in Belgrade in 2008 with the song ‘Believe’. In recent years Russia has become one of the most successful countries at the Eurovision Song Contest. 

The 2009 Eurovision Song Contest was held in the capital, Moscow, following Dima Bilan’s second appearance and first victory the previous year.

In 2000, Alsou took the country to second place with the song Solo in Stockholm and in 2003, musical duo t.A.T.u. represented Russia in Riga and finished third. In 2006, Dima Bilan made his first appearance in the Eurovision Song Contest, finishing second with ‘Never Let You Go’. The following year Serebro took the country to the top three again with ‘Song #1’.

In 20 appearances in the Eurovision Song Contest, Russia has finished in the top 5 on 9 occasions. Whilst Russia has only won the Eurovision Song Contest once, it won the Semi-Finals in which it was competing in 2012, 2015 and 2016.

NOTE:

  • Nel 1996, la Russia non è riuscita a qualificarsi per il concorso. Infatti, quell’anno, c’è stata una pre-qualificazione audio per tutti i paesi in gara (esclusa la Norvegia in quanto paese organizzatore). Sul sito ufficiale dell’Eurovision questa partecipazione non viene calcolata.
  • Nel 1999, alla Russia venne impedita la partecipazione, perché l’anno precedente non trasmise l’evento.
  • Se un paese vince l’edizione precedente, non deve competere nelle semifinali nell’edizione successiva. Inoltre, dal 2004 al 2007, i primi dieci paesi che non erano membri dei Big 4 non dovevano competere nelle semifinali nell’edizione successiva. Se, ad esempio, Germania e Francia si collocavano tra i primi dieci, i paesi che si erano piazzati all’11º e al 12º posto avanzavano alla serata finale dell’edizione successiva insieme al resto della top 10.
