ESC Insight Presets… Eurovision Wars: Russia vs Ukraine (2014-2016)

This is the first of a three-parter looking at how geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine spilled over into the Eurovision Song Contest. Part 1 runs from 2014 to 2016. Expect to hear about an anthem to genocide, a peace song performed by a hardcore Putin supporter, and of course, a giant hamster wheel. Hosted by Phil More, with Dr Jamie Halliwell and Julie Hasseris. This episode of Eurovision Wars was originally broadcast in July 2022.
