The 18 finalists were decided by a professional jury after live auditions held on September 19 at the Igor Krutoy’s Academy of popular music. As we previously announced, last year’s entrant Alisa Kozhikina had applied to enter the national final, but it seems she wasn’t selected to compete.

The Russian representative will be decided by a 50-50 mix of previous on-line voting and professional jury during a live show to be aired on September 25.
