RTR has represented Russia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The broadcaster has selected Ekaterina Ryabova to represent Russia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Kyiv with the song "Malenkiy prints".[1] Ekaterina Ryabova represented Russia once again in 2011 with the song "Kak Romeo i Dzhulyetta". She was also the first returning artist in the history of the Junior Eurovision.
Russia had initially confirmed their participation in the 2022 contest,[2] however on 26 February 2022, the Russian broadcasters VGTRK and Channel One Russia withdrew their EBU membership after the country was excluded from participating in the regular Eurovision Song Contest due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, thus being excluded from Junior Eurovision in 2022 and beyond.[3]
