… Russian politicians interpreted the result as a sign of moral decay in the West. “This is the end of Europe,” railed Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Liberal Democratic party of Russia. “It’s rotted away. There are no more men and women. There is just ‘it’.”

Now he’s getting his wish, albeit in a slightly different guise. This October Russia will revive Intervision, the Soviet alternative to Eurovision, which ran from 1977 until 1980. Following a similar format to Eurovision, which has been running since 1956, Intervision brought together ­aspiring Socialist pop stars, mostly from the Eastern Bloc and Cuba. …

Not what I’m talking about. Popular bloggers must register with the state in Russia, now. So the question remains—if this Russian version of Eurovision becomes popular in Russia, will a blogger need to get permission from Moscow to blog about it?
