2009: "We Don't Wanna Put In" — Stephane & 3G
Having already not taken part in 2008, the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) also chose not to participate in the 2009 ESC in Russia. The contest, held in Moscow, was controversial due to Russia’s human rights record.
We Don't Wanna Put In, performed by: Stephane & 3G, music: Stephane Mghebrishvili, lyrics: BiBi Kvachadze, Georgian Public Broadcasting, 2009
The song We Don’t Wanna Put In by Georgian band 3G was rejected as too political—the title that could also be read as “We don’t wanna Putin”. The EBU requested that the Georgian delegation either change the lyrics or enter a different song. In protest, the Georgian broadcaster refused to participate in Moscow and accused the EBU of giving in to pressure from the Russian regime.
