[@Deedee-ee1sg]

Remember watching this and was so glad Ukraine won. Great song, easily one of the best Eurovision songs EVER! Our thoughts are with you right now, Ukraine.

[@BlackCatKZ]

One of the most deserved victories at Eurovision in the XXI century. Energy, festive mood, ethnic style, and vocals and choreography at the highest level.

Man, I was 17 years old when she won the contest, and I was hyped by the song! It has remained one of my favorite ESC songs.

[@dimidrugg9592]

One of the first Eurovision songs I discovered (at a very young age). I wouldn't trade this for the whole 2021 lineup when it comes to childhood memories/excitement.

[@kukuman87]

This is one of the most iconic Eurovision songs ever! I doubt there is a person in Europe that doesn't dance wild dances.... Ruslana did amazing job mixing folkore with pop and both languages!

[@Irina-yx4tw]

Боже, какой голосищеее! Вы только послушайте! И она ещи при этом пляшет и поет без дрожи в голосе и запинки. На такое способен только высокий профессионал! Красавица!!! Я уогда ее увидела в 2004 году то была в шоке от такого чуда! И сколько лет прошло, но никто не смог переплюнуть по высокому проыессионализму, вокалу Руслану. Дай Бог ей всего хорошего. Я ею любуюсь. Привет из Ташкента, мира Украине!!!

І за ці роки Україна виборола не одну перемогу на Євробаченні, але Руслана перша відкрила двері в цей світ! Пишаюся нашими талановитими людьми!

Ukraine has always one of the best entries in ESC. Wild dancers really touched the ground. Hope that Ukraine still exists and not totally destroyed by Russian Army. Whole Europe must help to rebuild the nation. As my grandfather said to me, the best nation cannot live in peace if the bad neighbour does not want it. Wish all the best to Ukrainians.
