Karusel has published the 12 songs that will compete at the Russian final for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018. The final will take place on Sunday, June 3 live from Crimea. An online voting has been open to decide half of the final outcome.
The Russian broadcaster will select its next Junior Eurovision representative on Sunday during a final that will be held in Crimea’s Artek Children Camp. As in previous editions, the winner will be selected by an equal combination of votes from a professional jury panel and an online voting, which is now open for all the Russian citizens.
