People are living in the times of witch burnings, but there’s nothing we can do about it if they like it. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has found “Satanism” in Eurovision after Bulgaria won the 2026 Vienna Song Contest with a landslide victory over Dara’s “Bangaranga.” The Russian Federation’s top diplomat said the contest’s selection criteria resembled “Satanism.”
Russia can only in the “spirit of traditional values”.
“That is why we feel at home in these organizations, in these structures – BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and other multilateral associations with Russian participation, which – in addition to issues of politics, security, economics, trade and organization – are also engaged in expanding cultural, humanitarian, educational and other ties.
This also applies to musical and sports events, as well as many other initiatives,” Lavrov said.
He spoke about how BRICS organized initiatives “in the spirit of traditional values” – this is how the culture that was built for centuries “in these territories” was preserved and expanded.
“Apparently, sequins and homosexuals already pose a greater threat to Russia than Ukrainian drones over Moscow,” the Belarusian opposition TV channel NEXTA ironically commented on the statement of the Russian Foreign Minister.
