  • Shine was the Russian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen performed by the Tolmachevy Twins. It was co-composed by Philipp Kirkorov, who had previously represented Russia at the contest in 1995. For the live performance in Copenhagen, they appeared standing back-to-back on a large see-saw structure with their hair tied together, pulling apart near the first chorus. Near the end of the song, the backing singer pulled two giant fans together to form a sun-like shape as the backdrop lighting simulated the sun's rays.

abstract
  • Shine was the Russian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen performed by the Tolmachevy Twins. It was co-composed by Philipp Kirkorov, who had previously represented Russia at the contest in 1995. For the live performance in Copenhagen, they appeared standing back-to-back on a large see-saw structure with their hair tied together, pulling apart near the first chorus. Near the end of the song, the backing singer pulled two giant fans together to form a sun-like shape as the backdrop lighting simulated the sun's rays. It successfully qualified from the first semifinal in 6th place. In the final, it was performed 15th following France and preceding Italy. At the close of voting, it finished in seventh place with 89 points. The country was also subjected to booing from the audience, both in the semi final when they successfully qualified for the final and again in the final whenever they were awarded high points, especially by neighbouring countries such as Armenia and Belarus.
