Summary/Abstract: The author highlights the political nature of the Eurovision music contest, which brings together 37 mainly European countries. The 2023 edition, coming one year after the invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine’s contested victory in the contest, seems to be a springboard for the dissemination of Ukrainian identity. The outcome of the contest seems to have left no doubt. A contest with a democratic and consensual air but still taking on a political nature that is increasingly contested by certain European countries.
