Intervision

Intervision 2025 (Russian: Интервидение 2025) is an international song competition that is scheduled to take place at the Live Arena in Novoivanovskoye near the city of Moscow, Russia, on 20 September 2025.[6][7] The event is expected to feature representatives from countries primarily from BRICS, CIS, Latin American, and Middle Eastern states, each with a single entrant.[8][9] Although it takes the name from the former Intervision Song Contest, and it was announced as a revival of it, it is an unrelated event.

In a decree by Russian president Vladimir Putin, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko was declared chairman of the organising committee, while the Russian foreign ministry will be in charge of promoting the contest.[10][11][12]

On 26 May 2025, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that it considers Intervision to be a tool of Russian propaganda used to whitewash the policies of the Russian regime. The ministry instructed its foreign diplomatic missions to take measures of "political and diplomatic response" against countries that intend to take part in Intervision, with the aim of persuading countries with which Ukraine has at least neutral relations to opt out of the event.[13]

Background

[edit]

The Intervision Song Contest was originally launched in the 1960s by the International Radio and Television Organisation (OIRT) as an alternative to the Eurovision Song Contest for the Eastern Bloc, but was eventually discontinued in 1980.[14] After 28 years, an unrelated song contest with the same name took place in 2008.

On 25 February 2022, following the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) excluded Russia from the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, as "the inclusion of a Russian entry in [the 2022] contest would bring the competition into disrepute",[15] following pressure from some participating broadcasters.[16] On 26 February, the Russian member broadcasters of the EBU (RTR, Channel One, and RDO) announced their intention to withdraw from the union following their exclusion from the contest. On 1 March, the EBU suspended their membership,[17] and on 26 May, the suspension became indefinite, making them ineligible to participate in any EBU events.[18][19]

On 3 February 2025, Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the return of an Intervision Song Contest by decree,[20] inviting "friendly" countries to the contest, with the goal of "developing international cultural and humanitarian cooperation".[21][22] The new contest is also supposed to, according to Russian senator Lilia Gumerova, "promote real music" and reject "fake values that are alien to any normal person", referring to Eurovision's inclusion of acts such as Conchita Wurst, a drag queen. The contestants are encouraged to "emphasise respect for traditional universal, spiritual and family values".[23] Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov suggested that Intervision would be "free of perversion" and "abuse of human nature, as we saw in the Paris Olympics".[23][24]

Location

[edit]

On 29 October 2023, Russian prime minister Mikhail Mishustin announced plans for an Intervision Song Contest to be held in 2024 in Saint Petersburg. However, on 21 March 2024, the planned location was changed to Moscow and a budget of 600 million rubles was allocated for the event.[25][26] In June, the contest was postponed to 2025.[27]

The contest will be held in Live Arena, which is located in Novoivanovskoye, an urban-type settlement in the Odintsovsky District of the Moscow region of Russia. Live Arena is a multi-purpose entertainment complex located with a seating capacity of up to 11,000 spectators. The venue was opened in 2022.[28]

Format and production

[edit]

Graphic design and slogan

[edit]

On 16 May 2025, the logo and slogan of the contest was revealed by the organisers. The logo is based on a rhombus inspired by Russian suprematism.[29] The graphic design maintains visual continuity with the old contest of 1965–1980 but also incorporates modern elements to "emphasise the relevance" of the event. According to the organisers, the chosen slogan "Music in the heart of your country" (Russian: Музыка в сердце твоей страны) is supposed to illustrate the unifying nature of the event as music holds the ability to "make a million hearts beat in unison".[1][2]

Entries

[edit]

Russian documents seen by Reuters state that "artists may not perform songs that call for violence, humiliate the honour and dignity of society, and it is required that political themes in the lyrics are completely excluded." Participants have up to four minutes and may sing in any language they wish. The winner will be awarded money and go on tour.[14]

Voting

[edit]

The results will be determined by an international jury from the competing countries.[30][31]

List of participants

[edit]

The Russian government is directly coordinating participation with foreign governments. A list of countries that will participate in the contest was publicly announced by Russia on 12 June during a press conference.[32][33][34] However, officials from some countries Russia named as participants have not confirmed their participation.

Other countries

[edit]

The following countries expressed interest, were invited, or even "confirmed" by the organisers. However, they were all ultimately not in the list of participants announced by Russia.

  •  Armenia – On 6 April 2025, the Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for International Cultural Cooperation, Mikhail Shvydkoy, stated that on 7 April he would go to a meeting with the Minister of Culture of Armenia, Zhanna Andreasian [hy], to find out to what extent Armenia is ready to participate in the contest.[45] The media later regularly mentioned Armenia as one of the countries confirmed to participate in the contest.[46][47][48][49]
  •  Bolivia – On 26 April 2024, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov told Russian media that the Bolivian government had been invited to organise Bolivia's debut in the contest.[50]
  •  Brazil – Russian media regularly mentioned Brazil as one of the countries confirmed to participate in the contest, which was also stated on several occasions by Shvydkoy himself.[51][52][53]
  •  Ethiopia – The country is a member of BRICS, which the organisers have listed as an organisation whose members they intended to invite to participate in the contest.[54][55]
  •  Hungary – On 6 April 2025, Shvydkoy said that negotiations were underway with the Government of Hungary on their participation in the contest.[56][57][58]
  •  Iran – The country is a member of BRICS, which the organisers have listed as an organisation whose members they intended to invite to participate in the contest.[54][55] Russian media regularly mentioned Iran as one of the countries confirmed to participate in the contest.[59][60][61]
  •  Mexico – On 19 April 2025, Mexico's ambassador to Russia Eduardo Villegas said in an interview that, according to his information, Mexico would take part in Intervision 2025. He added that he thought a decision on the choice of representative would not be made before June or July.[62]
  •  Pakistan – On 2 December 2024, Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan Ayaz Sadiq stated that Pakistan was ready to participate in Intervision 2025, but found it difficult to answer the question whether artists from Pakistan had already been invited to Intervision.[63][64][65]
  •  Thailand – On 25 March 2025, Shvydkoy stated that the Thai government had "politically approved" the country's participation in Intervision 2025.[66] Russian media later mentioned Thailand as one of the countries confirmed to participate in the contest.[67]
  •  Turkmenistan – Russian media regularly mentioned Turkmenistan as one of the countries confirmed to participate in the contest.[68][59][69]
