Russia in the Eurovision Song Festival 12

Russia participated in the Eurovision Song Festival 12 with the song "Ya ne boyus'" written by Irina Morozova. The song was performed by Sergey Lazarev. The Russian entry for the twelfth contest in Bucharest, Romania was selected through the national final Golden Star Festival 2, 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 2. In the final, "Ya ne boyus'" performed by Sergey Lazarev was selected as the winner based on a public vote and a jury-vote.
==Golden Star Festival==
===Format changes===
From now on, the top 15 of the previous edition of the Eurovision Song Festival will be asked to send a delegate to the show, instead of the top 15 of the Eurovision Ranking. Channel 1 did this to make the countries asked to send a delegate more diverse. If Russia finishes in the top 15, number 16 will be asked.
