Summary

The Eurovision Song Contest has been instrumentalised for the purposes of propaganda. The pathetic crying of the Ukrainian contestant also served this purpose.

Ukraine's President Poroshenko was elected on 25 May with a clear majority in a vote which the OSCE characterized as showing the "clear resolve of the authorities to hold what was a genuine election largely in line with international commitments and with a respect for fundamental freedoms" (bit.ly/1Tdu8Qw), .
