Viktor Yushchenko admitted that on the night from Saturday to Sunday, when the contest was broadcast live, he and his family watched the voting and kept their fists clenched for the Ukrainian representative. \nI am sincerely glad that the most worthy participant won at the Eurovision-2004 contest," Yushchenko noted. "Victory in such a representative contest is, of course, the result of titanic work. Perhaps the European audience received Ruslana so warmly not only because she is an extraordinarily talented singer, but also thanks to the fact that the performed composition 'Wild Dances' carries tremendous energy and a lot of authenticity. \n \nToday's globalized world treats originality and distinctiveness with particular respect. It is very important that thanks to Ruslana the world learned about the ancient, distinctive, and at the same time very modern Ukrainian culture," emphasized Viktor Yushchenko. \n
