Russia Adds Ukrainian Eurovision Winner Jamala to Wanted List

Russia has added Ukrainian singer Susana Jamaladinova, who won the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest under the stage name Jamala, to its wanted list. She is charged with violating a law that bans spreading fake information about the Russian military and the ongoing fighting in Ukraine. Jamala, who is of Crimean Tatar descent, won the contest with the song "1944," which refers to the year the Soviet Union deported Crimean Tatars en masse. Russia had protested the song's inclusion in the competition, but it made no specific criticism of Russia or the Soviet Union.
