• The Russian contestants, Tolmachevy Sisters (2014) and Polina Gagarina (2015), faced booing from the audience due to political opposition.

• The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continued, with some officials suggesting boycotting the 2017 contest.

2017:
• Russia's entrant Yuliya Samoylova received a three-year travel ban from Ukraine.
• The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) attempted to find a solution for Samoylova to perform, but Russia declined offers.
• Russia ultimately withdrew from the contest due to the ban.
