The Eurovision Song Contest has been instrumentalised for the purposes of propaganda. The pathetic crying of the Ukrainian contestant also served this purpose.
Art is subjective. Russian viewers also appreciated the artistic value of Jamala's performance which is reflected in the 10 points they awarded to the Ukrainian contestant.
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
