The Russian entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 was t.A.T.u. with the song "Ne Ver', Ne Boysia" (English: Don't Trust, Don't Be Afraid).

t.A.T.u., who consist of Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova, performed at Eurovision in Riga, latvia. They performed 11th, following Germany and preceding Spain, and at the close of the voting it had received 164 points, placing 3rd in a field of 26.

After the contest, Russian broadcaster Channel One complained that Irish broadcaster RTÉ had used a back-up jury, and that it had cost them victory. A statement by Channel One said "Considering [the] insignificant difference in points between the first and third places, there are grounds to believe that the contest results could be much different for Russia."
