About Eurovision Song Contest 2009
The Eurovision Song Contest 2009 was the 54th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It consisted of two semi-finals on 12 and 14 May presented by Natalia Vodianova and Andrey Malakhov, and a final on 16 May 2009 presented by Ivan Urgant and Alsou Abramova, all held at the Olimpiyskiy Arena in Moscow, Russia. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Channel One (C1R), which staged the event after the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (RTR) won the 2008 contest for Russia with the song "Believe" by Dima Bilan.
