Ukraine
defeated Russia in Saturday May 14,2016's Eurovision Song Contest with a
controversial ballad about Crimean annexation after pipping late
favourites Australia to the post.
In
perhaps the most political Eurovision yet, singer Jamala knocked
Russia's Sergey Lazarev into third with her song 1944 - which
she dedicated to her great-grandmother and is reportedly about Stalin,
Crimea and claims of ethnic cleansing.
After
accepting the Eurovision trophy, the 32-year-old declared: 'I know that
you sing a song about peace and love, but actually, I really want peace
and love to everyone.'
Australia's Dami Im came a close second to Ukraine as it appeared she was set to win for much of the voting process
