The video clip for Believe, Russia�s bid in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest is almost ready and about to be released. The clip was concluded in two days and four different venues in Moscow.

The video clip of Believe, which will be performed in the first semi final of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade by Dima Bilan, is almost ready to be released. Produced by Pavel Khudyakov, the video clip was shot in four different Moscow venues: the Ice Palace on Hodynskoye Polye, one of the city hospitals, a photo studio and the Star Light restaurant.

The clip unveils a touching story, in which Dima organises a beneficiary concert in aid of a young boy who needs an operation. Dima is assisted by Olympic medallist figure skater Evgeny Pluschenko, Hungarian violinist Edvin Marton who will be also accompanying him on stage in Belgrade, as well as well-known Russian photographer Yulia Bochkova and Yana Rudkovskaya, Dima's producer.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
