Russia will participate in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017 which will take place on 26 November 2017, in Tbilisi, Georgia. The Russian broadcaster Russia-1, owned by the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) was responsible for organising their entry for the contest. Polina Bogusevich won the national final with the song "Krylya" (Russian: Крылья).
Prior to the 2017 Contest, Russia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest twelve times since its debut in 2005. Russia have participated at every contest since its debut, and have won the contest once in 2006 with the song "Vesenniy Jazz", performed by Tolmachevy Twins. The twin sisters went on to become the first act from a Junior Eurovision Song Contest to represent their country at the Eurovision Song Contest, performing the song "Shine" at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Russian broadcaster, Russia-1, announced on 29 April 2016 that they would be participating at the 2016 Contest, taking place in Valletta, Malta, on 20 November 2016. At the time of the announcement, it was also stated that the national final would take place at the children's camp Artek, located on the Crimean Peninsula. A list of nineteen competing entrants was revealed on 17 May 2017, while on 28 May their songs were released with two new added entrants.
