History of Russia in the AwlaVision Song Contest
Russia participates since ASC8, when the country debuted with the famous singer Lena Katina and her "Lift me up" without getting to the final. After some bad results, in ASC12 Russia got a second place thanks to the duet made of Grigory Leps and the Ukrainian singer Ani Lorak. Only three editions after that, the debuting singer i-La with her song "Hungry" finished in third position in the final. After some good results that followed four editions out of the final, Russia won for the first time in the Ukrainian edition of ASC26 thanks to the Russian-Ukrainian singer Sonya and her song "Uhodi". In ASC49, the famous band Little Big was close to their second victory with the song "Uno" that later became a success in Europe and the whole world.
