the political outrage against the Russian girls seemed unfair
It wasn't outrage against them as individuals though, or even against their song - it was outrage against them as representatives of Russia and, by extension, the Russian government. Kind of a protest, I guess. Eurovision's so political, nothing's meant personally against the performers themselves. In fact, I'm pretty sure the girls were prepared for a negative reaction what with the current political climate and all.
