LOL, this is never going to take place. It’s just Russia trying to ‘save face’.
If Russia wants to imitate the success of the Eurovision Song Contest in the Eurasian sphere, they should join to ABU so that thy could participate the ABU TV Song Festival. Once there, they could contribute to turn it into a competition.
Russia could make an own song contest too, between its federal subjects.
