The song faced severe criticism from Russian embassy in Stockholm for its image of Russia.

"Tingaliin" is a Russian version of the Tingeling song, credited to P-Bros featuring DJ Trexx & Olga Pratilova.

"Tingaliin", the Russian version, was designed as the final entry of the "Tingeling" series, at Melodifestivalen in Stockholm.

The performance is full of Russian clichés and stereotypes, such as an army choir, matryoshka dolls, cossack dancers, tetris, the National Anthem of the Soviet Union and Korobeiniki.

Anatoly Kargapolov, an embassy spokesman, said in an interview with The Local newspaper that "it is for us, unimaginable that Sweden can show such an ignorance and misleading image of Russia.
