    The whole Eastern Europe will decode ŠČ song and vote for it. It will not win, but that was never an intention. Song singing satirically about present situation simply can’t be left behind.
    ŠČ avant- guard.

    .From CroaŠČia..........Hidden in a plain sight.
    This is a superb ‘rock-opera’ anti-war parody with powerful visuals. Tractor is a reference to Belarus president Lukashenko's birthday present to Putin. In the song Putin is described as a "vile little psychopath", the vocalist represents Stalin, and the guy with nuclear rockets has NINLE on his forehead (word play: Nin-Le=Lenin) and is dressed in monk's outfit, like Rasputin. Insertion of a dominant, sinister, dark Lenin, who came way before Putin, points to a much deeper problem. And those TWO nuclear warheads; after all we all know who dropped the A-bombs! At the end of the video, on the nuclear missile, it is written "pajČu", an anagram; "Čupaj"- pull out. Trajna nina nena’ is Croatian song for little kids; ‘Trajna nina armagedon nona’(grandma) speaks for itself. Mama ŠČ is a metaphor for Mother Russia (ŠČ is a letter of the Russian alphabet, also old Croatian Glagolitic). The Cyrillic letter Shch Щ was derived from the Glagolitic (Croatian script) letter Sht Ⱋ. Coincidently, the sum of letters Š and Č gives Z (25+4=29) in Croatian alphabet, and Z is a military symbol used by Russian Federation to mark their military vehicles in Ukraine.
    The chaotic part of the song represents repeating the same mistakes from history, and not learning anything. It plays Croatian alphabet in reverse: Ž(Ж/Ⰶ), Z(З/Ⰷ), V(В/Ⰲ), U(У/Ⱆ), T(Т/Ⱅ), Š(Ш/Ⱎ), S(С/Ⱄ), R(Р/Ⱃ), P(П/Ⱂ), O(О/Ⱁ), Nj(Њ/Ⱀⰺ), N(Н/Ⱀ), M(М/Ⰿ), Lj(Љ/Ⰾⰺ), L(Л/Ⰾ), K(К/Ⰽ), J(Й/Ⰺ), I(И/Ⰻ), H(Х/Ⱈ), G(Г/Ⰳ), F(Ф/Ⱇ), E(Е/Ⰵ), Đ(Ђ/Ⰼ), Dž(Џ/Ⰴⰶ), D(Д/Ⰴ), Ć(Ћ/Ⱋ), Č(Ч/Ⱍ), C(Ц/Ⱌ), B(Б/Ⰱ), A(А/Ⰰ).
    Visually, there are a lot of subliminals with multilevel meaning.
    Crocodile is a terrible drug popular in Russia, that makes people act like zombies. Guys are dressed in military uniforms but in pink and bright colors and are wearing dresses; making fun of all warmongers and military establishments, proponents of chaos. Side image shows roses sticking out of their asses. Preposterous, or superb description of the present time? Main exclamation is ‘mama idem u rat’- mommy I am going to war, a cry against the forced mobilization, and sending young people to kill each other.
    Are we ever going to learn?!

    Great comment and reaction man! And you were actually very close when it comes to meaning behind this song!
    This is much more serious song than it seems at the first glance! It's anti-war and anti-dictatorship protest rock opera like song and brutal mockery of "little vile p*********" which is interpreted by many as Putin himself but also all mad dictators like him in general.
    It is performed by the Let 3 - famous experimental and often extremely provocative Croatian art punk rock band that is active over 30 years and which also had collaborations in theater peroformances including those with very serious directors.
    Posible lyrics description by many: "Mama ŠČ" = Mama Russia (among Russians "mother" symbolises their country), ŠČ is letter from the Russian alphabet.
    "Mother bought a tractor" = Belarus dictator Lukašenko gave to Putin tractor for his 70th birthday.
    "Mother loved a moron" = Mother Russia loved Putin.
    As I've written "little vile p*********" is also interpreted as Putin and all mad agressors like him!
    Let 3 outfits and styling: military like clothes as the representation of all mad war thirsty dictators in combo with drag queen like clothes and makeup (provocation to homophobic Russian President and likewise dictatorial conservatives).
    Bald man is wearing dark scarf - probable alusion to Rasputin, another reference to Russia and on his forehead there's inscription "NJINLE" which is Croatian word play for LENJIN (NJIN + LE = LENJIN).
    Nuclear rockets are rather self-explanatory: "little vile p********" from the Kremlin is constantly threatening with usage of nukes!
    It has to be said that Let 3 members had several interviews in which they gave some vague hints to whom this song might be dedicated to which can be summarized to dictators and all powerful people that think that have right to do whatever they please regardless of others including people as Putin! Of course I've paraphrased their words but that's the general meaning.
    Warm greetings from Croatia

    There is no pro-political statement or affiliation in the song, no names have been outspoken. That's allowed. Except Lenin on the forehead - though the guy now long dead, they 've been kindly asked to discard it in the future.

    Artists react to war. Before WWII Charlie Chaplin made movie. The Great Dictator. Look at Globe Scene, with sensitive music.
    This is at the same track but more up to 21st cent . It is part of future anti-war rock opera. Every scene has several meanings. Eurovision is perfect platform for artists.

    Well done on the tractor, but a less-known fact is that 'Belarus' is a big tractor brand, produced in, you guessed it, Belarus. With this in mind, you can also interpret 'Mama kupila traktora' as 'Mother Russia took over Belarus'. I can recommend you Overthinking It's analysis of this and other songs, they get nearly every hidden meaning of the song plus a dozen more wild theories

    "ŠČ" is pronounced like one of the letters of Russian alphabet.
    "Mama kupila traktora" == "Mother bought a tractor"
    It's referring to Lukashenko when he bought a tractor for Putin on hi s birthday. Also, "Белару́с" (Belarus) is model of a tractor.
    "Onaj mali psihopat" == "That little psychopath"
    Reffering to Putin
    "Mama idem u rat" == "Mother I'm going to war"
    Generally he's talking about "MOTHER Russia".
    "Krokodilski psihopat" - "Crocodile psychopath", it's referring to Boris Johnson when he said: negotiating with Putin is like negotiating with a crocodile when it's got your leg in its jaws
    Children on their T-shirts are referring to genocide and kidnapped Ukrainian children from the occupied territories.
    Rockets are symbolizing the constant threats of the Medvedev that Russia will fire nukes.
    And so on. There's a lot going on at their stage

      This song is anything but joke entry! In fact it is much more serious and with higher artistic value than majority of nonsensical, hybrid copycat balads and other pop trash that is prevalent on any Eurosong could ever hope for to be!
