A social media trend has seen a few dissatisfied Russians shaving their beards in protest at Austria’s triumph.
This unpleasant Twitter craze has also inspired tweets attacking both Conchita and the European community, with the Russian deputy prime minister saying the win ‘showed supporters of European integration their European future: a bearded girl.’

Позавчера был последний день, когда борода делала тебя более мужественным http://t.co/RzEG19OhkY—But if that makes you angry, be comforted by the fact the song has rocketed to the top of the charts in Russia.

And remember Conchita won the tournament and rocked a bodycon dress to boot.
