Russia competed in the first semi-final of the contest, on 25 May 2010. Though it looks that the success of Russia in the Semi-Final voting caused a matter of contention as there was prominent booing during the television broadcast of the first semi final and the show itself. This booing was noted by commentators at the time of broadcast as it was hard to ignore.

In the semi-final Russia came 7th with 74 points, and thus qualified for the final. [13] The public awarded Russia 4th place with 92 points and the jury awarded 14th place with 41 points. [14] In the final Russia came 11th with 90 points, with the public awarding Russia 11th place with 107 points and the jury awarding 15th place with 63 points. [14] [15]
