My respect for her after hearing the balls she has to do this📈

As a Russian, I feel very bad for her... She didn't deserve all that hate... I don't think that her song is bad at all, and I actually like it... I'm very upset that people of my country NEVER happy about the songs that we send on ESC...

As a woman from Russia I declare Manizha is amazing. And many thanks to all of you for support.

It's pretty a badass to be public person and support LGBT in Russia. Huge respect from central Asia !

Not everyone in Russia hates Manizha. Many support her with warmth and faith in victory. But will the media skip the hype to throw dirt on Russia. No never. Manizha is a Russian woman and no matter where she was born. More than 200 nationalities live peacefully in our country

People seem to forget that Russia is a multinational country. Russian women look different, speak different languages and each of them has the right to speak. Manizha is a true Russian woman. It's depressing that so many people still can't handle their xenophobic feelings in the 21st century.

Lots of people adore her in Russia, especially with high educational and international background, young generation who speaks languages. She is changing the society and the whole world. She is talented she is Russian and she is cool

I'm very proud that Manizha represents my country this year. I admire her strength, her devotion and her willingness to be vocal about important things

I want her to win on principle now

I'm russian and I like this song soo much, I voted for her ❤️❤️❤️ haters gonna hate.. Go Manizha 💪💪💪

Нападают на Манижу, а слушают моргенштерна. Говорят, что она не русская, а как Жерару Депардье дали гражданство-так он самый русский из всех! Двойные стандарты у таких «русских».

Russia is a modern country, we have internet, fashion, show business, ect. But what many don’t know is that our country suffers from bigotry. There’s homophobic, racist and sexist propaganda on TV and in our government. Even our “beloved” president feels enlightened to make transphobic jokes on live translations. Manizha is so brave and I feel so sorry that she suffers so much hatred. Sadly there’s too many bigotry in Russia. Especially from young far-right men.

girl.. Be strong show them who's the boss

Manizha, we are very proud of you. You empower not only us Tajiks but all people in Central Asia. Go and rock and roll baby! Show the world what does it mean to be a proud Tajik Russian..

My favourite Russian entry in a while, not only has it got a good message but it's nice for it to been Russian and have ethnic vibes, as opposed to another dime-a-dozen generic English pop songs. Good luck from Australia, Manizha!

She won the public vote to represent Russia.. if people had an issue with her, then they should have tuned in and voted for the other contestants... This is absolutely uncalled for..

As a russian i'm so embarrassment about this situation around her and song, but i hope she's know what many people love and support her! Good luck, Manizha!!

I feel guilty when I see all these negative messages and hatred from Russia, and at such moments I am always ashamed of our country. But then I think that I am also from Russia, and there are also a lot of people like me who show her love and support. HUGE love and respect for Manizha. From one Russian woman to another.

I hope she is receiving 24/7 protection

We learn that stereotype is bad in history but practise in our current lives

I'm russian I love her so much, even before Eurovision. She is an amazing singer and a good person. She supports women suffering domestic abuse and violence, I admire her. A lot of people in Russia also support her, feminists and lgbt+ activists. The lyrics of her song are really powerful, very important message.

Russia got this in the bag, she will actually win with this song!

I never give a damn about Eurovision, it's been years since I watched it. Having heard this song though and seeing all the hate it created towards Manizha, I want to support her with all my heart. As a Russian woman, I am ashamed of the barbaric behaviour of my co-citizens. Unfortunately, xenophobia and homophobia are huge in Russia and it's getting worse as it is fuelled by the government. Good luck for the final, Manizha, break that wall ❤

Wow, she is amazing and so genuine. If I weren’t living in Canada and back in Ireland, I’d vote for her purely based on this interview. Also, the song is really growing on me.

Она за эти два месяца сделала больше в деле борьбы с ксенофобией и борьбы за права женщин, чем кто-либо ещё за последние лет 10.

Xenophobia really feels like an invisible problem in terms of mainstream media so I’m glad she spoke out about it. Love from Ukraine.

We’re in 2021, after all the wars and pandemics and we still have this thing called HATE.. Will mankind ever learn to live in peace and love together?

As a turkish boy, we need famous like him. Russia and Turkey are so hard for LGBT rights.

What the heck- ? How can people be so racist and so mean that when you just hear songs about equality, you wish someone to die? I love her ❤️

Hope she wins

As a Central Asian I wish her good luck. It is time to grow up and stop beliving in fairy tales&sky friends. We should use logic and compassion to guide our lives

Tell em sister....u go and do your thing...respect.

Manizha! You are an amazing personality and a gifted musician!

She's my inspiration y'all. I wasn't really surprised by the reaction of Russians tho... what can I say? some things never change. Love, from her motherland, we'll always support you:)

she's amazing.. kisses n good luck from Turkey

I'm a woman from Russia and I love Manizha with all my heart like a lot of people here do

The saddest thing is, that people in Russia don’t like her for her ethnicity. They don’t care about her talent neither her hard work, but they more care about her being a “tajik” girl. I’m not speaking about all Russians, because some did showed their support, but unfortunately very few of them. I hope they can realize how talented she is and don’t judge her by her nationality and be less racist about it.

Don't be nazi, be human! As a Russian person with Georgian, Ukrainian, Romanian and who knows which roots also, I know only one thing for sure, this world ruled by love, not by hate. Russia always was multiсonfessional, multinational and multicultural country. Respect and humanity, that's the key.

I am Buryat ( which is ethnically Mongolian republic in Russia) - I am a rightful citizen of Russian federation. I don’t get surprised when people from abroad don’t realise there is Asian looking people in Russia- but when you come to European part of Russia and then get comments : what you can’t be Russian. It’s pretty disappointing. RUSSIA is not Slavic only- it’s not only Moscow and Saint Petersburg, it’s not only orthodox Russian church and Cyrillic! It’s a multicultural country, variety of religions, verity of looks. Go Manizha! All my love and support !

She's a personality!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!

I’m Russian and I like Manizha’s song for Eurovision, because it’s partly in Russian and inspired by Russian folk music. I think Eurovision is the contest where European nations should share their own culture, that’s why I’ve always supported contestants who sing in their mother tongue even if I don’t understand the meaning of song. It’s true, a lot of Russian people don’t like the fact that Manizha goes to Rotterdam with this song, but it’s completely wrong to say that the main and only reason of it - Russian nationalism and misogyny. Firstly, Manizha was compared to Little Big, nobody else was expected to represent Russia this year but this music band. Russians were longing to see Little Big in Rotterdam, because their single “UNO” became a hit. Secondly, Manizha’s music is definitely not typical for a Eurovision contestants from Russia and it’s targeted at young people, who hardly watch Eurovision, to tell the truth. So, there are a lot of another very important reason why a part of Russian audience doesn’t support Manizha and her song. Some people didn’t like Manizha’s nationality, but, once again, it’s incorrect to say ALL Russian Manizha’s haters don’t support her just because of it. Unfortunately, this wrong point was main in this video and this has unfairly worsened the image of Russia and Russian people.

Her great-grandmother was one of the first women in Tajikistan who took off the Hijab and started to work!

Don’t be afraid of moving forward, Manija! Your future is bright, inshaalloh.And I wish you all the best for your new achievements!

It's easy being an activist in the west, try being an activist in other parts of the world. Thank you for what you're doing

Manizha is a queen for handling this so good.

She is a lovely person with a strong attitude and all the weird russian haters should go to hell for bullying her. Look at Senhit - she is not born in San Marino ....and nobody really cares so it shouldn't matter if Manizha is not born in Russia.

I’ve a big respect for Manizha. Good luck in Eurovision

I’m Russian and I do like her songs! 👍❤️ She is so cool and brave! Manizha is winning Eurovision 2021!

This is the problem now, if your against the party line people turn against you

Left Russia in 2010. The country was emerging from the hardship and becoming modern western nation. WFT happened in the next 11 years????

I actually cried at the end of her performance and the absolute crowd cheering her on

I love this song and her spirit and the lyrics big love and respect from Greece 🇬🇷❤️🇷🇺

i love her Eurovision 2021 song, i defo am supporting her

I am a Latvian born Russian and I admire Manizha's art and her social justice standpoint, her courage and vulnerability, her sincerity. Her art is genuine, not commercialised, and she creates music with heart-felt inspirational messages about de-stigmatisation, breaking of the stereotypes and promotes self-love and self-acceptance, all the while supporting charities that help refugees, LGBT community and victims of domestic violence in Russia. I think she is a fantastic role model to the young generation, full of compassion, acceptance and open-hearted, brave and daring, whilst being able to retain her divine feminine qualities. My Russian soul feels so proud. I feel that finally Russia has a contestant that is genuine, raw and not some sort of polished westernised version, so worthy! All points go toooooo MANIZHA!!!!

The woman who says that she can't accept her as an Russian woman. I will happily accept her since she's a great woman who has nothing to be ashamed of💙

Well, I'm Russian woman and I don't like her songs at all, BUT I support her message and understand that no one deserves such a terrible hate (except for criminals, dictators and etc ofc). It's a shame, that a lot of our people are so rude and cruel to wish Manizha's death only because they disagree with her opinion and/or don't like her music. I love my country, but all this cruelty makes me really sad.

Она молодец не нужно слушать этих придурков 🌻

Respect to Manizha!! Didn't realize she has to deal with all these shxt...I will support you even though I can't vote for you in the contest. Love from Taiwan.

I fell in love with the way Manizha expresses her art. I loved watching her in the interviews (especially with Nikkie) and I hope we hear more from her in the future. Best wishes from 🇮🇪 & 🇵🇱

Манижа, мы с тобой ❤️

The lady who said she'd pray for the plane to fall... She was definitely praying to the Devil :|

We love Manizha and support her. She's the definition of charisma and power. So proud of her. :)

Good luck in Eurovision!!

Manizha, pay no mind to petty foolish people, stay strong, more people wish you well and support you.

Tajikistan with you Manizha.

Russians: Ew this song is terrible! Who can like it? Public: *100 points* Russians: *surprised Pikachu face*

Time for Russia to do some self reflecting from the voices of its youth - Heres to a win for Manizah and change in the misogynist Russian state!

*Russia* - puts in jail for being gay or any gay propaganda. *Russia* - also sends a contestant to sing about about gay rights.

She'll win!!!

You are awesome! Good for you! Strong, smart, funny, beautiful and kind... little girls should want to be you, nobody should wish harm.

She have really good voice. She is very hip hop!

There are an abundance of feminist songs in Eurovision however this is the only one that is truly empowering to me because I know this woman have had to fight to be on that stage. Doesn’t hurt that she’s incredibly animated and funny on stage c:

Ты классная,не слушай других(сердечко,сердечко,сердечко)

Мое мнение: я думаю, что ее никогда не следует ненавидеть, она потрясающая и должна продолжать в том же духе Translated into english: I think that she should never be hated, she is amazing and should keep up the good work

I'm Russian and I will say that she HAS to win to wipe hater's noses!

She is amazing bring all the respect she deserved it , she is an icon and human

Просто Умница и Красавица. Горжусь, что у нас в стране такие женщины!

Great singer and great woman doubtless. All my support to her, she will do an amazing performance in Rotterdam for sure.

She is so great! All the best to you Manizha!

She is amazing! Made me feel patriotic for the first time in many years.

Keep singing and keep fighting sista

I'm Russian, and it was so lovely to hear a song from our country that finally had some good goddamn message, not just the pretty vocals. Manizha is amazing, I'm proud that she was representing our country this year, and I'm also so sorry for her having to face this much ridiculous bs. I'm so tired of our media portraying even tiniest bits of feminism as extremism, and this is why we need people like Manizha so damn much. We need more women empowerment, and I'm here for all of brave people who are not afraid to raise their voice 💖

Manizha is the hugest inspiration, she has so much bravery and confidence

Manizha, I respect you soooo much! I first disliked the song, but then I started to understand what it was about and now girllll you are killing it! Being a female in itself is hard, but I can only imagine how hard it must have been to grow up in a country you are not born in. Maybe a lot of Russians don't like your song, but trust me a lot of other people do and I think you are going to do amazing in Eurovision!

This woman is more brave and cool than all "normal" Russian males . Support from Italy!

I voted for her in ESC 2021. I don't speak Russian so I couldn't understand the lyrics, but the message still came through very clearly. I think her song was really powerful and despite of the langauge barrier, it communicated her message beautifully. She did a great job and I honestly think Russia should be proud of her. Lots of love here from Denmark!

I grew up in Ukraine, and am still dealing with homophobia from my family. Thank you Mazhana for paving the way for more acceptance and love 💕

Thank you girl. You run the world ❤️ support from Serbia.

She is very strong! Good luck Manizha! Support and love from Azerbaijan 💙

I love you and your song! Pure art! Keep doing what you do. Love from Rotterdam!

I am not a Russian woman, but I admire her - her strength, determination and open-mindedness towards gender equality and the LGBT community, which in Russia (can’t speak for Tajikistan) is very frowned upon and not widely accepted. To express those views takes guts, and that is very admirable and amazing of her.

Haters gonna hate! We love you Manizha and support you. They aren't smart enough to get the message! Stay strong.

The Russian Federation is a multinational country we all leave in peace with each other...we are more than 100 different nationalities and languages...and Manizha is our represenrative for this year- you like her or not..Lots of Russians enjoy her texting, singing, performing..❤ we really do...

Putin: Crazy woman singer.. so bizarre! Now everyone look as I ride shirtless on my pony!

Respect woman! 💪🏾 Haters gonna hate, negativity is on them.

gotta give her props for bravery! 💕

I am russian. And Manizha is amazing!!! We need this!

She may not have won the ESC but she made and continues to make a big impact and I am proud of her for not giving up

Imagine being that xenophobic though. Cringe

BBC why didn't you invite Brian Rose to take part in the debate tonight for London Mayor???? Brian Rose from London Real is the 2nd most popular person so how can you not have him on instead of giving us this fake illusion that we have a choice.
