Career
2006: Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006
At the age of nine, the sisters represented Russia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Bucharest, Romania after being selected in the national final held on 4 June 2006. They later won the Junior Eurovision with their song "Vesenniy jazz" which earned them 154 points, with Belarus finishing in second place with 129 points.[1]
2007–2010: Polovinki and Eurovision appearances
In 2007, the sisters released their first album Polovinki. They also performed the song "Katyusha" on the Red Square in Moscow on Victory Day.
In 2009, the sisters made an appearance at the opening act of the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Russia.[3] In 2010, the sisters were part of an interval act at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Minsk, Belarus, where previous winners of the contest sang their winning songs in a medley.[4]
2014: Eurovision Song Contest 2014
The Tolmachevy Sisters were internally selected to represent Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark with the song "Shine".[2][5] They finished in seventh place with 89 points.[6]
The Tolmachevy Sisters were the subject of booing from the audience during the semi-final and final.[7] The booing was also heard when countries awarded points to Russia.[8] Fraser Nelson wrote: "I can’t remember the last time I heard a Eurovision audience boo anyone; during the Iraq war in 2003, no one booed Britain".[9]
2015–present: After Eurovision
At the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, both sisters were members of the Russian jury.[10][11][12]
