Eurovision Fact #438:

Manizha's iconic dress that she started her 2021 entry 'Russian Woman' in was crafted out of pieces of fabric sourced from all across Russia.

Svetlana Maskimova, who heads the Non-government organization of Yakut National Dress Masters, stated that pieces of fabric were donated to be sewn into the dress.

Manizha's own mother commented on the fact that it was very difficult to source the fabric piece from Yakutia -- officially known as the Republic of Sakha. Their pannel was "...in the form of 5 harakh [5 eyes], which has a protective meaning, is sewn in the “kybytyk tigii” technique.”

manizha could come dead last in the esc final but she'd still be a winner for showing the world a side of russia that never gets representation. a refugee representing russia is huge. poc and lgbt ppl being shown on screen during russia's act is huge. having the guts to criticise misogyny in russia is huge (russian conservatives have been complaining about her song in parliament and she's even received death threats for challenging the sexism russian women suffer). and she did it in a way that didn't degrade russia, but honoured its traditions and culture. ppl underrate it, but russian woman is one of the most important songs ever at eurovision. she used her performance to spread an important message to the people of russia, one that uplifts women and minorities, and challenges those who antagonise them. I've never been so invested in a eurovision act and performer.
