when you say in german "es ist wurst" it means "it doesnt matter" - that's why he picked that name
and yes, amusingly enough he got quite a lot of votes from the russian audience, just not from their jury. still enough for 5 points from them

he (his marketing team) picked the name because it's suggestive, and he keeps the beard to rile everyone up. That's it, there's no deep meaning.
After the marketing team invented this bad joke of an act they fabricate an argument to use to sell it to the public, which is the tolerance story, as well as the beard story. Arguments like this get eaten up by the people who are generally naive and eat up stuff like this.
