New Scandal in Russia: Eurovision-2009 Contestant is Fascist?

Ivan Toporischev, Moscow, exclusively for Eurovision Mania

Scandal around Ukrainian singer Anastasia Prihodko (Prykhodko) who was eliminated from Ukrainian national final of Eurovision-2009, mysteriously appeared in Russian short list two days before the Russian national final, and then by backdoor order of Putin’s government got the majority of the jury votes, gathers steam.

On March 12th the Russian newspaper Moscowsky Komsomolets published an article where correspondent Artur Gasparian reminisce the incident in 2007 Fabrika Zvezd (Star Factory) contest, Russian analog of Star Academy. Two years ago, in the Star House, Prihodko called another contestant, mulatto Kornelia Mango, “tchernozhopaya” (“black-ass”, humiliating form of “nigger” in Russian). Then she began discourse upon her hatred towards niggers and Chineses, and said that “Hitler was right. He fought for Arian race. I think that in Germany should live Germans, in Ukraine – kievers, in Africa – niggers, in Israel – jews. Heil Hitler!”

Later on Prikhodko refused to record a song together with Choir of Michael Turetsky, explained that “the block fellows would kill me if I sing with Jewish chore.”

Not only “block fellows” of Anastasia Prihodko love fascism, but her own family. Her brother Nazar is well-known member of UNA-UNSO, Ukrainian nationalist union.

The head of LDPR fraction in the Russian State Duma Igor Lebedev, son of LDPR founder Vladimir Zhirinovsky, said that “Choice of Ukrainian nationalistic singer as Russian representative in Eurovision contest heavily damages prestige of Russia.”

The Russian blogosphere is boiling with condemnations of the singer. This case really united all sides of Russian political spectrum: The liberals demand to eliminate Anastasia Prykhodko because of her fascist views; the nationalists – because she is Ukrainian nationalist and that means she must by default hate Russia and Russians.

    MAMO is great song
    Hope she wins.
    I love Anastasia and I enjoy her act.
    I am sure on she is good person.
    She is probably nice face to face.
    I bet she likes kids and dogs.
    She has some useless political Ideas
    They say Ukraine put her out because her song was too long.
    Did Ukrani put her out to avoid having the land of Ruslana shamed by her Nazi talk?
    Did Putin put her in?
    If so, I want a put in.
    I hope she breeds with an African or a Chinese.
    We live together as friends or die together as fools

    Prihodko has poured oil on flames by insulting Ukraine’s nominee Svetlana Loboda. In her recent interview Anastasia was asked about her attitude towards other participants in general and her rival from Ukraine in particular. Anastasia answered quite rudely: “She is vulgar and filthy. She is not the one to compete with me!”
    What will be Svetlana’s reaction?
    Will the anti-crisis girl from Ukraine fend of the fascist girl from Russia?

    Irena’s last blog post..Russia’s Eurovision nominee is a Nazi?

    I truly don’t understand why anyone would disagree with that. I think that sounds like it is something to look more closely at. I feel occasionally alot of people could be fairly narrow minded when it comes that. Nicely thats all for now, look forward to more post and information..
