Video: Eurovision Russian grannies relax by the sea before the final Dressed in their tradational folk costumes, the group of singers were enjoying a day off at the seaside where they are staying in a resort. The grannies all come from houses in the same street in the village of Buranovo, in Udmurtia, some 800 miles east of Moscow, and some of them had never travelled abroad before. As the Buranovskiye Babushki talked about their village, they remembered the friends and family who will be rooting for them on Saturday. Between them, the grannies have 50 grandchildren and great-grandchildren says 75 year-old Valentina Pyatchenko. When the grannies appear, people feel like they are their children, and any bad thoughts go away. Maybe just for a second," said Buranovskiye Babushki member, Olga Tuktaraeva, who at 43 is the youngest granny in the group. The grannies have already hosted a steady stream of Russian and international media at the Nardarn resort, even cooking their traditional Udmurtian pies for the occasion.
