The information came directly from Channel 1 during the broadcasting ads break:

What are we going to have there?

Earlier Yuriy Aksyuta, the chief producer of music and entertainment programs on Channel One, came as a guest to the Channel 1 morning show “Доброе утро” (Good morning) and had a little talk with the host about the selection show. Here we provide you with some quotes from this interview.

This year we decided to make the national selection show for several reasons. Earlier we held such shows already and we have some experience. This year we picked a shortlist of participants. I won’t reveal you the names because we want to keep a sort of intrigue. But these are the songs that in Channel One’s opinion are worthy and the most interesting ones to represent Russia at the contest. This year we decided to let our audience decide the choice of the artist and the song. We believe they would pick the right one and won’t make a mistake here.

Are Little Big in?

Sure, Little Big will come to the show. There’s no way they won’t come. Actually, if there was the Eurovision last year, Little Big would probably win based on the audience reaction, YouTube views, streams and many other statistics.
