However, Gunesh, who was the clear winner of the poll with almost half of the votes on her account, finished second in the televoting. The other results were smilar to the televoting results with Domenika finishing third in the poll (10.1%), Litesound feat. Dakota finishing second in the poll (25.8%) and Veter v Golove coming fifth (6.7%).
