What is Buranovskiye Babushki? / Facts   


  • Early days - The ethno-pop band Buranovskiye Babushki was founded in the village of Buranovo, Udmurtia, approx. 50 years ago. The average age of the band's members is 70 years. Part of their main repertoir are old ethnic songs from Udmurtia.
  • Eurovision 2012 -  Buranovskiye Babushki represented Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan, where they finished 2nd.
    Hailing from the rural Russian province of Udmurtia, this group performed in their traditional ethnic costume and ranged in age from 43 to 76.
    They looked vastly different from the typically young and scantily clad contestants, and brandished baked goods onstage rather than feather boas.
    Clearly this was the edge that the Babushki needed as it propelled them all the way to the grand finals where they landed a spectacular 2nd place.
    Their success meant that they were able to achieve their goal of raising enough money to rebuild the village church in their hometown of Buranovo.
    The group had previously participated on Russia's Eurovision song selection in 2010 with the song " Длинная-длинная береста и как сделать из неё айшон" ("Very long birch bark and how to turn it into a turban"), where they finished 3rd.
    They made another attempt to represent Russia by participating on Russia's Eurovision song selection in 2012 with the song "Party for Everybody" which was sung partially in English. The group eventually won, receiving 38.51 points ahead of Eurovision 2008 winner Dima Bilan who also entered the contest with T.A.T.U. member Yulia Volkova with the song "Back To Her Future", which finished second, receiving 29.25 points.
    They represented Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The group finished in 2nd place with 259 points, receiving points from 40 countries out of eligible 41 (excluding Switzerland), and were behind the winning country, Sweden, who scored 372 points.
  • Fundraising for church rebuilding - In 2010, the group started a fund for the rebuilding of Trinity Church in Buranovo and all of the group's income is donated into this fund. The Trinity Church was originally built, of stone, in 1865, but was closed on 19 September 1939 by the Soviet administration and demolished. The present wooden church is in poor condition.
    The brick structure of The Holy Trinity church has been completed. Outside walls are white concrete stucco, and the roof is green metal.
    The interior is still under construction in early 2014.
    A stone monument was placed near the church which has a plaque reads (in Russian): "By the Grace of God and hard labor of the music group Buranovskie Grandmothers, on this place will be built a temple to honor the Holy Trinity. This stone laid Oct 28, 2011."
  • Members - Current members of the group are as follows: Grania Baysarova (born 1949), Alevtina Begisheva (born 1958), Zoya Dorodova (born 1940), Galina Koneva (born 1938), Valentina Pyatchenko (born 1937), Ekaterina Shklyaeva (born 1937), Olga Tuktareva (born 1968), Nikolay Zarbatov (born 1963 or 1964).
    Former members were: Elizaveta Zarbatova (1926–2014), Natalya Pugacheva (1935–2019).
