Tonight: National final in Russia
The show
The show to be broadcast on RTR1 will start at 19:00 CET (21:00 local time). 25 acts will present one song each and the winner will be chosen by a jury (50%) and televoting (50%). Like last year, it has been reported that some of the songs in the running would not be eligible to enter the Eurovision Song Contest as they were published before 1st October. Therefore, the national final can also be seen as a performer selection.
How to watch?
A webcast will be provided on eurovision.tv here.

2. 2009 - Mamo
3. 2000 - Solo
4. 1997 - Primadonna
5. 2006- Never Let You go
I really hope the irritant that is Dima Bilan does NOT show up as a participant.. 
My current top 5:
1. Ireland
2. Denmark
3. Romania
4. Spain
5. Iceland
Hopefully Russia can pick a great song and enter my top 5, so good luck to RUSSIA
Marko Pervan:
Yes, they will surprise us - after announcing of the winner will be done simsalabim - Dima Bilan will fall down from sky on the stage, he will sing White nights and they will do a proclamation that he is a final winner:-)
But seriously - I believe Russia will choose a good song.
@ Pacshalis

Where can we listen to the songs?
I dont find anything on youtube, any Russian site who have the songs?
to D SK
yes, RTR1 is russian national channel. But i think that Eurovision will be on both russian channels... RTR1 and RTR planet.
I think Russia will surprise us tonight! Positive or negative, I don't know!
RTR1 - is it 1st Russian channel? Then I would have a possibility to watch it on TV.
v Oslo poyedet tolka lu4shiy tot kto lu4she spayot... 
tak shto ne4evo nemozhno znaty... Ya udivlyajus shti s Latvii tozhe budyet odin u4astnik poselayu uzspehi vsem u4asnikom v Rosii
I would like Alexandar Panaiotov to win.
ESCkaz reports
06.03 - A dress rehearsal of the show is completed, it involved 25 acts, however, the performance of Dima Bilan will certainly take place in the show. Press-service of channel Russia stresses that he will appear only as a guest of the show. Which song will Bilan perform is unclear from the rehearsal, as he does not participate in it.
@ Ben Gray
"Mamo" was SIMPLY AMAZING!
Totally underrated.
I think with so many entries it is almost safe to say it is set-up already... BUT I still hope that it's not and that the best song eventually wins...
Russia is one of my favorite ESC countries so i'm always curious about their entries...
But it is "said" that Alexander Panaiotov is "already" the winner... I hope not since there are better entries for sure.
I hope for Elena Esenina! We need more folk-inspired stuff in ESC!
GOO ELENA!
Not missing this guys Russia has a HUGE potential to win from the quality of the song Such a modern selection I ADORE IT
If we take top 10 of each year of the decade 2000-2009 - Russia is the most successful country of the last 10 years (2.Greece, 3.Turkey).
So expactations are high...
I remember how we hated Russian music in 80´s in our country (at communist era) - now I have to have a respect to your success and big improvement.
Good luck Russia!
Kenan loves Angelic
I know that is not so nice!! But yes!!! And this is not only because of his face!! !!
This was a hate from the first time I saw his face! Yak!
Why? Just because of his face he should not win tonight?
I cant wait
Goodluck Russia!! No hopes this year!!!!
Send who ever you want just not Alexander Panaiotov!! I hate him, just can't stand !! This was a hate from the first time I saw his face! Yak!
By the way, Essenia's producer is very powerful, so she will do well!
good luck russia =)
TOP 10!
1.Turkey
2.Denmark
3.Norway
4.iceland
5.Armenia
6.Latvia
7.Slovakia
8.Albania
9.the netherland
10.Finland
Too many songs, Russia...
Here's hoping this one is good enough to make it past the iron curtain. Believe had the wrong singer, Mamo was just horrible, (I still can't understand WHY it had to end like some 80's metal anthem!) but Serebro were good! I would like a Serebro kind of song sung in Russian with maybe a few more ethnic elements to it... or perhaps something electronic, dark, dance-like?
I imagine Russian national final STAGE it will be great!
@ D SK
The songs are:
Nano
Los Devchatos
Alaska
