Whip up a Tune with Intervision, a Song Festival by Putin!
Revives the Intervision Festival after Nearly Half a Century Since Last Appearance by Putin
The tune is about to get a twist as Russian President Vladimir Putin signs a decree to revive the Intervision Song Festival, a musical competition alternative to Eurovision in the socialist sphere. Released 45 years after its last official edition, this musical event promises to bring back the rhythm and excitement that once filled the air [1].
Putin, a celebrated music aficionado, is leading the charge, with his decree published on the Russian state's legal information portal. The competition is set to take place in Moscow and its surroundings [1]. Putin has ordered the Russian government to establish an organizing committee and take the necessary steps to ensure a smooth preparation and execution of the event.
The revival of the Intervision Song Festival is the brainchild of the Russian leader himself, who envisions a competition featuring singers from post-Soviet countries and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The preparations for this event have been entrusted to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko [1]. To bolster interest, a promotional campaign will be launched to create buzz around the event.
An advisory council will be set up, overseen by the deputy head of the Presidential Administration, Sergei Kirienko. This council will be responsible for reviewing all details related to the organization and outcomes of the competition [1].
Originated under the aegis of the International Organization of Radio and Television, this contest was designed as an alternative to the Eurovision Song Contest [5]. Its first edition, held in Prague in 1965, crown a Czech singer named Karel Gott. However, the contest was marred by controversies and eventually fell into decline after its 1980 edition in Sopot, Poland [6].
The riots staged by the opposition group Solidarity in nearby Gdansk, marking the beginning of the collapse of the socialist bloc, played a significant role in the demise of the Intervision Song Contest [6]. Putin's proposal to revive the festival in 2009 was successful but stalled until now, with plans in motion to extend the project to include BRICS countries [7].
There's no official word yet on the exact date for the next Intervision Song Festival. However, this revival sparks excitement as musical talent from around the world prepares to compete under the prestigious banner of the Intervision Song Contest. Keep your ears tuned for more updates on this lively musical event and its competitors [1][2][3][5][6][7].
