The Russian entry for the eleventh contest in Copenhagen, Denmark was selected through the national final Golden Star Festival 1, organised by Channel 1 (C1). An initial 12 entries competed in the national final which consisted of two shows: one semi-final and a final. Entries were selected to advance in the competition based on the votes of 'The Wall' (consisting of international famous artists), televote and a three-member judging panel. Six entries qualified to compete in the final of the Golden Star Festival 1. In the final, "Life" performed by Zivert was selected as the winner based on a public vote and a jury-vote.
==Golden Star Festival==
===Format===
In the semi final, twelve acts take part. The juries will rate the singers with 12 - 1 points. The televote will be a certain percentage (e.g. 14%, meaning the artist gets 14 points). The wall can vote if they want to see the artist in the final or not. In total, there are twenty music professionals, meaning an artist can receive as much as 20 points. Six acts will go through to the final. The first fifteen countries in the wall are the top 15 countries in the Eurovision Ranking, while the last five countries is the top 5 countries of the Asiavision Song Festival 1.
