Ukraine og Rusland i Eurovision
Nøgleord:
Eurovision, Ukraine, Rusland, PolitikResumé
Ukraine og Rusland er to af de mest succesfulde lande i Eurovisionen, Det Europæiske Melodi Grand Prix. I dette årtusinde har Rusland vundet én gang og haft 14 top-10 placeringer ud af 19 mulige, mens Ukraine har vundet tre gange og haft 11 ud af 17 sange i top-10.
Siden Sovjetunionens opløsning har Eurovisionen været en af de få internationale arenaer, hvor de tidligere sovjetrepublikker kunne repræsentere deres nationale identiteter og vise deres tilhørsforhold til Europa. Samtidig har sangkonkurrencen været en symbolsk kampplads, hvor russisk og ukrainsk tv har sat postsovjetiske konflikter i spil i sange og sceneshows.
Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan ukrainsk og russisk tv har brugt Eurovisionen til at positionere sig i forhold til Europa og i forhold til hinanden. Den undersøger den politiske interesse, der er for Eurovisionen i Ukraine og Rusland, og den undersøger også, hvordan konkurrenceformatet og European Brodcasting Union (EBU) har bidraget til repræsentationen af postsovjetiske konflikter i det tv-show, der vises for seerne i Europa og i store dele af verden.
