Russia has won the Eurovision Song Contest. Dima Bilan’s song, Believe, notched up 272 points from Europe’s voters, comfortably beating Ukraine’s 230 points into second place.

Watch Dima Bilan’s Russian Eurovision Video Believe below:

Russia’s Eurovision Song Contest victory crowns a spectacular week for Russia - in the space of eight days Russia have won the World Ice Hockey Championships, Zenit St Petersburg have won the UEFA Cup and now, Dima Bilan has won Eurovision.

So successful have Russia been that poor old Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s new President must be wondering if his job is just about telephoning people to offer his congratulations.

Anyway, in honour of Russia’s victory, I’ve updated the Every Russian Eurovision Video Ever page, to include Dima Bilan’s song, Believe.
