The article discusses not only the phenomenon of Conchita Wurst, but also the backstory of the demonic tendencies in modern culture, and there being traced a number of performances of «Eurovision» of the late 1990s and 2000s. Scenic character of Conchita is understood in the article as the image of the Antichrist, Lucifer, having origins in European culture. Wurst`s victory at the ‘Eurovision 2014» revealed the cultural conflicts between Europe and Russia and marked the «death of the West» (Spengler). В статье рассматривается не только феномен Кончита Вурст, но и предыстория демонических (или сатанистских) тенденций в современной культуре, и прослеживаются целый ряд спектаклей «Евровидения» конца 1990-х и 2000-х гг. Сценический персонаж Кончиты понимается в статье как образ Антихриста, Люцифера, растиражированный в массовой культуре и имеющий истоки в культуре европейской. Образ, получивший различные трансформации в языческой и христианской традициях, в народной и элитарной культурах, связан с таким философско-эстетическим направлением, как де-монизм. Победа Кончиты Вурст на «Евровидение 2014», по мнению автора, вскрыла культурные противоречия между Европой и Россией и обозначила «гибель Запада» (по Шпенглеру), хотя и хочется верить, что, задуманный как проект, объединяющий Европу, конкурс «Евровидение» таким и останется.
