With their song ‘A Time For Us', Tatyana Mezhentseva and Denberel Oorzhak will represent Russia. This is 'Going to Gliwice', our feature counting down to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 on Sunday 24 November in Gliwice-Silesia, Poland.

Tatyana Mezhentseva and Denberel Oorzhak's song A Time For Us is about the present-day generation and its approach to life, as they say: "We are staying on top of everything that happens. We access to internet all the time, and we want to be aware on what is going on. But we should remember the important things. It is within our power to make the world a better place, and to save our planet! It doesn't matter whatever country you are from or family that raised you - it is all about us."

A Time For Us was written by Dmitry Nortman and Tatyana Mezhentseva and composed by Alexander Andreev and Dmitry Nortman.
