After much speculation it has finally been confirmed by the broadcaster, Channel One, that Julia Samoylova will represent Russia at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon, Portugal in May.

In 2017 Julia was not able to represent Russia in Ukraine because of political problems. She had already released her song Flame Is Burning but was unable to take part.

Now Julia will have that chance to represent Russia in Portugal. Her new song will be officially released in the coming weeks.

In the meantime check out Flame Is Burning again below.
