Today
Channel One decided who will represent
Russia at the Eurovision 2017 contest. The choice was completely
unexpected. Contrary to expectations and numerous rumours, Russia at the contest in Kyiv
will be represented by a disabled woman –
Yulia Samoilova.
The woman
lost the ability to walk in childhood, following a polio vaccination.
It is
impossible to know what Channel One was guided by. It is not excluded that its management decided to appeal to the audience's pity in this way to secure a leading position in the contest. In addition, a disabled woman is unlikely to be booed, which would surely have happened with any other participant.
