"Russian Woman" (transliterated into Russian Cyrillic as Рашн Ԝуман, stylised in all caps), originally titled "Russkaya zhenshchina" (Русская женщина), is a song by Russian-Tajik singer Manizha, independently released as a single on 19 March 2021.

"This is a song about the transformation of a woman's self-awareness over the past few centuries in Russia.

By coincidence I wrote it on March 8, 2020 while on tour, but for the first time I perform it a year later.

"Many Russian viewers took offense to a singer of Tajik descent singing about Russian women and to the singer's activism for LGBT rights and women's rights, and left hate comments on the video and her Instagram account, demanding that she drop out of Eurovision.

[2] Yelena Drapeko, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture, suggested banning Manizha from performing in Eurovision under the Russian flag, commenting also that Eurovision offered no cultural value and was too politicized and pro-LGBT.
