Russia has just announced that the world famous Crimean prosecutor Natalia Poklonkaya will help select the Russian act that will compete at “Intervision“, the supposedly “heterosexual” alternative to Eurovision. As you’ll recall, conservative politcians asked that the country ressurect Intervision, the Soviet alternative to Eurovision that ran in the late 70s, in the aftermath Conchita Wurst’s victory at Eurovision.
Even though Russia has decided to take part in the forthcoming ESC, politicians clearly see Intervision as an opportunity to shore up their conservative base at home. Poklonkaya is an interesting choice. She was involved in the repression of the protest movements in Crimea, which will surely sit well with Vladimir Putin, who handpicked her to oversee the contest. (Her selection may sit well with the Tolmachevy Sisters, too). The crime-busting Crimean prosecutor became famous for her appearances in press conferences, so much so that many artists created memes and Japanese animi cartoons of her:
A spokesman for the Moscow Mass Communication Ministry is pleased that Poklonkaya will bring a bit of fairness to the selection process: “The participation of the prosecutor general will guarantee impartiality in the selection of winners.”
So in short, Putin has selected an attractive woman who opposes protests in Crimea and is depicted in Japanese anime cartoons to oversee the selection of a Russian song for the heterosexual alternative to Eurovision. You can’t make this stuff up. Suddenly Conchita the drag queen seems rather straightforward…

@Deven
first off, i said that a wrought “this” at noon and if you look at the time it says i wrought the comment at 12:45:31, which is noon, you can say what you want, but at the end of the day conchita is a murderer and should be prosecuted hence Natalia poklonskaya service requirement, hopefully justice will prevail and conchita wurst will get sent to prison.
@Realist NOTE: ”Bullsh*tterist” is NOT a REAL WORD. Listen, you seem like a nice guy and stuff but you are extremely annoying on Wiwibloggs. You don’t speak the truth. As far as I am concerned, you have a lying problem. Conchita did not kill 50 people in the Balkans. How can he? Secondly, you did not write your last blog on Saturday night at 12 noon, it was 9.45pm at night. Another lie. Your spelling/English isn’t all that great either for someone from Ireland. I’m Irish as well and I am pretty sure my six year old brother would know… Read more »
@Realist
You’re a fanny!
deven, read my username, i only speak the truth, if i was talking bull than my username would be ” bullsh*tterist”
deven i wrought this at noon so it isn’t past my bedtime, and she has done wrong, she killed 50 people in the balkens and then dethroned spain in the fifa world cup, she’s a monster and should be felt with swiftly and fast!
Russia has becomed the laughing stock of europe.
@Realist
Oh, and one more thing. STOP CALLING PEOPLE 13ITCHES. Conchita did nothing wrong and whether you like it or not, he won for Austria. Now go to bed, it’s past your bedtime.
Hi Realist I think what Tiggeh is trying to say is that, and I don’t want to hurt your feelings when I say this but homophobic people like you should be banned from forums, ESPECIALLY WiwiBloggs because it is a Eurovision website and ESC has a huge homosexual following. By the way, and I am only being realistic and saying what everyone else is thinking, but you are not a realist. You’re far from it. 😀 Right goodnight. (By the way, if you don’t see any replies from me all of next week, it is because I will be away… Read more »
voice? this is clearly written, so get your facts right, i just want the right thing to happen, which is for conchita wurst to be put away.
@Realist, I am not your 13itch and secondly, people who are obviously homophobic like you don’t deserve to have a voice in these forums.
What an awesome woman this is.
No I would NEVER WANT FARID AND TEO TO BE IN THAT CONTEST.

I don’t really understand this news…didn’t Russia already select Alexander Ivanov as its representative two weeks ago?
Jeez , I could win the Guinness world record for the most replies on Wiwibloggs.
@Wiwi Bloggs
