Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest
Russia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 23 times from its debut in 1994 to 2021. Russia won the 2008 contest with Dima Bilan performing the song "Believe". In 2018, the country failed to qualify for the final for the first and as of 2026 the only time in its history. The Russian entry was chosen through both internal selections and a televised national final titled Evrovidenie. Following their exclusion from the 2022 contest due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, on 26 February 2022, the Russian broadcasters RTR and Channel One announced that they would suspend their membership in the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The EBU made the suspension effective on 26 May 2022, preventing Russia from participating in further Eurovision events unless its membership is resumed.
