Later this month hundreds of millions of viewers around the world will be glued to their TV sets for the annual musical extravaganza that is the Eurovision Song Contest. This year's competition is being held in Sweden. But sequins and Euro pop are not to everyone's liking. In Russia, one MP is planning a rival contest with a very different sound.
