Intervision instead of Eurovision
Anti-ESC from Russia guarantees without “perversions”
At the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), Russia flew out against Ukraine because of the war. Kremlin chief Putin recently announced his own music show. Now there are first details.
According to information from Moscow, the music show in Russia, which was called by Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin as a competition for the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), is of great interest. More than 20 countries have already confirmed their participation in the TV competition called “Intervision”, as Putin’s cultural consultant Mikhail Schwydkoi said Russian agencies.
Access for anti-ESC from China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia
In addition to a series of ex-Soviet republics, the participants also include China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia. Russia was excluded from the ESC because of its war war against Ukraine.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lawrow was also pleased with the large number of participants. The event offers all countries the opportunity to present their best musical traditions “without every censorship”, the Moscow top diplomat promised at a meeting with ambassadors.
Anti-ESC is also said to be a contrast to Paris Olympic Games
“I guarantee that there will be no perversions and mockery of human nature, as we have observed at the Olympic Games in Paris,” added Lavrow.
The Eurovision Song Contest is known for the fact that queer artists have often started and the show is very colorful and diverse. For example, the trans -wife Dana International won for Israel in 1998, in 2014 for Austria the gay singer Tom Neuwirth as singer Conchita Wurst.
At the long Olympic opening ceremony in Paris, a scenery with Dragqueens had been seen at a table last summer. Some showed this as the reconciliation of the last sacrament and mockery of Christianity. It later turned out that this show was meant as a feast of Greek gods.
Russia suppresses non-heterosexuals
In Russia, the rights of minorities that do not correspond to the heterosexual (alleged) norm are severely restricted. The public representation of homosexuality, for example, is prohibited. The so-called LGBT movement was classified as a “extremist organization”.
LGBT or the English abbreviation LGBTQI+ stands for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans-people, queer as well as intersex people-any plus signs or asterisks are meant as placeholders for other identities and genders.
