During the duration of the Paralympic Games, which are been held in Tokyo, we will be taking a look at a different Eurovision country each day. Today we are looking at Russia’s best Eurovision entry, after they took Bronze in the Men’s Long Jump T47 Athletics competition.

Russia have made the Final of the Eurovision Song Contest a total of 22 times. In 2008, when the Contest took place in Belgrade, Serbia, Russia achieved their best position to date with a 1st place. Dima Bilan performed “Believe” and achieved a total of 272 points.
