Impact
After the competition, the song that won the competition ends up being the most popular Alezian song for 1958, and Aziz Goridagyev Novogrody earned hero status in Pyalivostok, the region he represented. Santa Liliace and Hasyim Riza as tied runner-ups (as there is no tiebreaker rule initiated yet) also earned popularity in their respective regions.
The song that won the competition, Dasvidanya, ends up being translated and sung by Aziz Goridagyev Novogrody himself to English, Indonesian, and Arabic. While Nekesh Da'ov sung the Hebrew version, and William Halvevais sung the French and Aramnan version. There was rumoured to be a Finnish version, however it was never found. Some even speculated that the Finnish version was hidden in Aziz's own house and never found even after he has passed away, and rumour says that his grandson, Andi Robi Idris Novogrody, holds that version. Andi Robi Idris Novogrody denied the speculation in an interview in 2018.
