Russia

Russia has participated in the Eurovision Song Festival 16 times since making its debut in 1.
==History==
On 18 October 2016, Russia confirmed it would debut in the first edition of the Eurovision Song Festival. In Russia's first participation, Russia failed to qualify, reaching the 17th place in the semi-final.
After the 2022 Russian invasion in Ukraine, C1 was expelled from the EBO. The broadcaster was replaced by Dozhd, an independent TV station officially blocked in Russia. Dozhd announced that it had managed to buy the format of the Golden Star Festival in time for the sixteenth edition. While it was expected that C1 would not sell the format of the show and would produce a new edition of the show, it was discovered that the rights of the show were still in the hands of the creators of the format instead of the broadcaster. The creators of the format were never made public, however following the purchase of the format by Dozhd, it was heavily rumoured that the creators hold an anti-war position regarding Russia's war in Ukraine.
A few days after Dozhd secured the rights to produce a new edition of the Golden Star Festival, the broadcaster announced that the show would carry the name: Golden Star Festival - Together for Peace. Furthermore, the EBO announced that Russia would compete under the white-blue-white flag of the opposition of the war.
