Putin’s “intervision” also followed this principle. Only the Russian dance did not exist this time. The Russian singer Jaroslaw Dronow, alias Shaman, appeared in a futuristic leather gear – including military -looking heavy boots. A leather jacket with the Russian flag on the sleeve in the look of the SS and a bleached crest are the trademark of the singer. And even if he went into the competition with another song, he did not miss the opportunity to roar the most famous line of his propaganda hit: “I’m Russian.”
The way a colonial power is due, Dronow was gracious in the name of his country. After his appearance, he asked the jury not to evaluate his appearance. “The Law of Hospitality” does not allow him to be right to win, he said. And Russia is the winner anyway. A patronized gesture that sums up the Russian supervision of this evening. And so Vietnam was allowed to feel like the winner – from Russia’s grace.
However, it is questionable whether the gentleman in the Kremlin felt like the winner this evening. Nothing has become of the large, triumphal bang. Billions of TV viewers would look at the show, the Kremlin propaganda had broken in advance. All advertising drum rattled without ceasing. In the end, however, didn’t even want to turn on the domestic audience. “So many emotions, so many impressions,” said the show moderator in the end into a tombstill. The arena near Moscow and the 11,000 viewers ordered. Saudi Arabia is scheduled to continue the charade next year. The only question is who for whom if Putin can no longer give the colonial ruler.
