9 - 204 pts / 3 - 225 pts in semi 1
Russia had an final of some sorts on March 8 and Manizha (Manizha Sangin, Мани́жа Санги́н) won the three song race with Russkaya Zhenschina (Русская Женщина, Russian woman). Also known as Рашн Wуман which is Tajik for Russian Woman.

The single version was released on March 18 (digital) It has the English title but is sung in a mix of Russian and English.
The Russian lyrics are still the same as in the National Final but the English has been adjusted. There's also a bit more English compared to the original live version. The Russian equivalent of the F-word (отвалите) is still there.

Live EP Russian Woman Show

The song is written by Ori Avni, Ori Kaplan and Manizha herself.

For promotion in Rotterdam a USB was handed out.

On September 24 a 5 track EP titled Russian Woman Show (Live) was released. The 5 track EP (digital release) includes a fab live version of the Eurovision song.
