From each participating country, two performers with their songs performed at the competition. The organizers considered it desirable that the songs of each of the participants be selected by a strict jury - the spectators of each country's competition. Songs, speeches, the number of props and the participants of the number were practically not restricted, although they should not last more than three and a half minutes. The order of the performance of the countries determined the draw, but which of the songs to perform first was decided by the participants themselves. The first winner was Switzerland, which was represented by the singer Lis Assia with the song "Refrain". In the first "Eurovision" and up to 1997, the winner was determined by a qualified jury selected in each country. The jury by the rules also do not have the right to vote for their own country.

The national selection competition was held inThe Great Hall of the Russian Academy of Sciences. As already mentioned, 25 participants fought for the victory. Among them were four graduates of the "Star Factory" project - Dmitry Bikbaev, Mark Tishman, Irson Kudikova and Timati. It is impossible not to distinguish the performance of two other performers who previously performed at the Eurovision Song Contest: Julia Volkov and Dima Bilan. Volkova was the bronze medalist of Eurovision-2003, and Bilan became the silver medalist in 2008. It was this couple that made a lot of competition for Buranovski's grandmothers.

The team has already participated in the finalRussian tour, it was in 2010. However, then the winner was Peter Nalitch. This time the "Buranovski grandmothers" were luckier, and in the end they won the contest, gaining more than 38 points. Their competitors - a pair of Bilan-Volkov - received about 30 points.
