Maniza Sangin will perform the song “Russian Woman” in this year’s competition in the Netherlands.
He praises the strength of Russian women, urging them to be more independent and to oppose the sexist approach to beauty, age and childbirth.
During the session of the Federation Council, V. Matviyenko called this song, which contains elements of Russian popular music and hip-hop, nonsense.
“Some kind of nonsense, a kind of nonsense. I do not understand at all what it is about, “said V. Matviyenko.
He also instructed MP Jelena Afanasyeva to review Russia’s procedure for sending representatives to the Eurovision Song Contest.
“This is all very strange, to put it mildly,” Matviyenko added.
Afanasjeva has said that the choice of 29-year-old Maniza, born in Tajikistan, to represent Russia at Eurovision “surprised many Russians.”
“They were surprised by his appearance, surprised by the song,” he said, adding that people did not understand “African American dancing” in his music video.
Russian researchers announced this month that they would study the lyrics of a song submitted to the country’s Eurovision Song Contest on “possibly illegal statements.”
The Union of Orthodox Women of Russia has called for a ban on the Maniza song clip and a ban on participating in Eurovision, as the song’s words incite “hatred of men, undermining the foundations of the traditional family. “.
The veterans’ website Veteransije vesti asked the Investigation Committee to initiate criminal proceedings against the song.
In a recent interview with the AFP Maniža news agency, he said that his song is an anthem “against stereotypes” that he has encountered.
“I touched a sensitive place,” he said.
