[5] On 20 January 2007, C1R announced a submission period for interested artists and composers to submit their entries until 1 March 2007.

A jury panel was to evaluate the received submissions on 3 March 2007 and select the Russian entry, however a decision was not reached and instead five candidates were shortlisted: Aleksandr Panayotov and Alexey Chumakov, Band'Eros, Gorod 312, Serebro and Zveri.

Serebro's selection as the Russian representative was decided upon by the jury panel from the five shortlisted candidates following a closed audition held on the same day.

On 12 March 2007, Russia was drawn to perform 15th in the final on 12 May 2007, following a slot allotted for a semi-finalist qualifier, which was ultimately filled by Latvia and preceding Germany.

[11] The semi-final and final were broadcast on Channel One, with commentary by Yuriy Aksyuta and Elena Batinova.
