When the invaders come...
They break into your house
They kill everyone
And they say:
"We are not to blame
not guilty."
Where is your mind?
Humanity is crying.

You think you are gods.
But everyone dies.
Don't consume my soul.
Our souls

I couldn't enjoy my youth

We could build the future
Where the people are free
To live and love.
Happy time.
Where is your heart?
Humanity, get up!

you think you are gods
But everyone dies.
Don't consume my soul.
Our souls
I couldn't enjoy my youth
I couldn't live on this earth
I couldn't enjoy my youth
I could not live on this earth.

"Eurovision"

Eurovision has been held annually since 1956. Russia first took part in the contest in 1994 and won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2008 when singer Dima Bilan took first place. According to the rules, Eurovision 2017 will be held in Ukraine, the home country of the winner of Eurovision 2016.

Countries that are members of the European Broadcasting Union or the Council of Europe can participate in the competition. The states located in Asia also participate in the competition: Israel and Cyprus (they send participants to the competition almost annually from the beginning of participation), as well as partially located in Europe and Asia: Armenia, Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Non-European and non-EMU or CoE Australia has been participating since 2015.

Yesterday, May 14, the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 ended in Stockholm. All of Europe, with bated breath, voted for their favorite participants from various countries. The winner was the Ukrainian singer Jamala, who performed under the 21st number with the song "1944". This composition tells the story of her family's deportation from Crimea in the middle of the last century. The Ukrainian star, who could hardly hold back her tears on stage, received a standing ovation from the audience.

Eurovision results are always awaited with trepidation all over the world. After all, this is not just a singing competition, it is also a grandiose show, as well as a symbol of the unity of all European countries. So it is not at all surprising that almost every person in Europe always watches Eurovision with bated breath and every country cheers for its performer, hoping that he will get the victory this year. But in the end, the victory goes to someone alone, and the inhabitants of other countries can only rejoice that the next one has found its recognition. In addition, as they say, it is not so much the victory that is important, but the participation. But, nevertheless, let's get acquainted with the list of Eurovision winners by years, which sunk into the hearts of millions of people.

List of Eurovision winners

Since the Eurovision Song Contest has been held since 1956, it is completely unrealistic to remember each of the participants, and it is also difficult to even remember those who won the Eurovision Song Contest. Although someone probably remembers that it was thanks to the victory in this competition that the ABBA group and singer Celine Dion became famous. But since we are now in the twenty-first century, let's just remember all the victories at Eurovision over the past fourteen years.

2000 - Olsen Brothers. Danish pop-rock duo consisting of the two Olsen brothers, Jurgen and Niels. Subsequently, during the competition dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the competition itself, their song, with which the duo performed in 2000, took sixth place in the list of the best songs ever performed on the Eurovision stage. Definitely something to be proud of.

2001 - Tanel Padar, Dave Benton and 2XL. Estonian singer duo with a hip-hop group on backing vocals (2XL). Tanel and Dave brought their country the first ever victory at the Eurovision Song Contest. Also, after winning the competition, Tanel Padar became one of the most famous rock singers in Estonia.

2002 - Marie N. Latvian singer of Russian origin Maria Naumova was the first Eurovision winner whose song was not published anywhere outside the country. In 2003, Maria was the host of the Eurovision Song Contest, held in Riga.

2003 - Sertab Erener. Eurovision winner Sertab Erener is one of the most successful and famous Turkish pop singers. Her song was placed ninth in the list of the best Eurovision songs, which was compiled during the 50th anniversary of the contest.

2004 - Ruslana. The performance of this Ukrainian singer in 2004 made a splash at the competition due to its incendiary nature. In the same year, Ruslana was awarded the title of People's Artist of Ukraine for winning Eurovision.

2005 - Elena Paparizou. Greek singer. In 2001, she already participated in the competition, but then she sang as part of the Antique group and this group took third place. And in 2005, Elena performed her number solo and eventually achieved what she wanted - victory.

2006 - Lordi. This Finnish hard rock band shocked everyone with their unusual appearance. The band members always perform in costumes and monster masks, which look quite realistic. And their repertoire is ironic songs about all sorts of horrors.

2007 - Maria Sherifovich. Serbian singer who won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Prayer" performed in Serbian, in contrast to the more usual English for this competition.

2008 - Dima Bilan. This year, luck has smiled on the Russian pop singer Dima Bilan. It was the first and so far the only victory of Russia at Eurovision, but how brilliant it was!

2009 - Alexander Rybak. Singer and violinist of Belarusian origin, representing Norway at the competition. This winner of the Eurovision Song Contest scored a record number of points in history.

2010 - Lena Meyer-Landrut. The German singer participated in Eurovision twice: in 2010, winning and in 2011, losing to another country.

2011 - Ell & Nikki. Azerbaijani duet, including Eldar Gasimov and Nigar Jamal.

2012 - Lauryn. Quite a popular Swedish singer, who has Moroccan-Berber roots. The girl won the Eurovision Song Contest by a fairly large margin, leaving behind the participants from Russia.

2013 - Emmy de Forest. The Danish singer, who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013, has been fond of singing since childhood, and therefore her victory is not at all surprising. In addition, even at the very beginning of the competition, she was already predicted to win.

2014 – . This year's Eurovision winner from Austria Conchita Wurst came as a real shock to many people. No one expected to see a bearded singer at the competition, and no one predicted her victory. Conchita's real name is Thomas Neuwirth. And, despite the public unrest, it cannot be denied that the image of a woman with a beard was really unusual, and Thomas's voice is very strong and interesting.

The Eurovision Song Contest has been held since 1956. Countries send young performers or artists already known in their home countries there. For example, for ABBA and Celine Dion, the competition was an important step in their careers. But popularity in one's own country does not guarantee a high place. In 1997, Alla Pugacheva represented Russia and took 15th place out of 25.

ABBA (Sweden) - winners 1974

Celine Dion (Switzerland) - winner 1988
