Her song
"1944" about the mass deportation of #Crimean_Tatars under Stalin has
received the highest scores both from the judges and a public vote on Sunday
evening.
Jamala's song
tells the story of the Soviet Red Army's deportation of nearly 250,000 Crimean
Tatars in 1944.
"This
song really is about my family, my grandmother. I had to write it. It is a
memorial song and it is difficult for me to sing it," Jamala said in an
earlier interview.
#Jamala, whose full name is Susana Dzhamaladinova, was born in Kyrgyzstan
in 1983, where her family settled after her grandparents were deported under
Stalin.
