The Ukrainian special services are ready to immediately and actively engage in the struggle with the singer Yulia Samoylova, who has just received the right to represent Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest. The Security Service of Ukraine is already thinking about whether it should let Samoylova into Ukraine, or whether she poses a serious threat to national security. The threats, by the way, were also addressed to the singer herself. Anastasia Sakhovskaya will tell all the details.
A new day is coming for the world... This day was the best for her. The day when the most daring dream of a girl from Ukhta, who had been chained to a wheelchair since childhood, had come true. In May, she will represent the country at Eurovision with a piercing song, about there not being anything stronger than to believe in yourself. In fact, it’s an anthem of her own life. I feel great, I'm happy that it all happened. I finally realized that it was true and not a dream. Yulia, I congratulate you. I hope your song sounds three times.
This was the first time she appeared on the stage and on the screens of the Russia TV channel during the Factor A show. Philip Kirkorov heard her there. During the 3rd season's qualifying round, the audience gave her a standing ovation, and Kirkorov took off his hat to her talent. I felt it, I felt that you were a miracle. Everything depends, of course, on the performance, which will be prepared by Yulia and the producers. Yulia already has everything else. The most important thing is that she exists. It was our channel's project Factor A that opened the way to Yulia's dream.
After the first performance on Russia 1 TV channel, she became a discovery for the whole country. She is the first participant in the history of such shows with limited abilities, but an unlimited talent. Then, there was a triumphant performance the Paralympic Games opening ceremony in Sochi. Her tears were not a weakness at all, because she sang about herself again. You have been waiting for your victories for so many years. June 2015, at the concert in Kerch at a festival called "World of Sport and Kindness," The echoes of this performance are now like thunder out of the blue.
Ukraine, the Eurovision host country, heard nothing less than a threat to national security in Yulia's songs. A fragile girl in a wheelchair was called a provocateur. Yulia's personal data, and with an error, appeared on the scandalously known Peacemaker website, which publishes information about so-called enemies of Ukraine, and politicians of different levels, almost shouting, make bombshell statements, interrupting each other. On June 27, 2015, Samoylova performed in occupied Kerch together with Gazmanov and Lolita. Actually, such artists are not allowed to the country by the Security Service of Ukraine.
In response to numerous requests from journalists about Yulia Samoylova, I want to say that the Security Service of Ukraine will investigate the matter, and will make a well-considered decision regarding her entry to the territory of Ukraine. We asked whether Ukraine can prohibit Yulia Samoylova from participating in the Eurovision Song Contest, but didn’t receive an answer. The Kremlin asked not to politicize the song contest. They do not see anything provocative in the choice of a participant from Russia. The desire to avoid any politicization of Eurovision is obviously unambiguous. We consider this absolutely unacceptable from the perspective of the development of this international competition. Yulia has no reason to try to find meaning in this scandal surrounding her. She has daily rehearsals and English classes. This courageous girl has already sung about hardships. Back then, during the TV show Factor A. Another obstacle is in my way And I have to overcome it.
