The Voice Kids is a Russian reality television singing competition broadcast on Channel One. Based on the original The Voice Kids of Holland, the concept of the series is to find currently unsigned singing talent (solo or duets, professional and amateur) contested by aspiring singers, age 6 to 15, drawn from public auditions. The winner is determined by television viewers voting by SMS text and The Voice Kids App.
The winners of the ten seasons have been: Alisa Kozhikina, Sabina Mustaeva, Danil Pluzhnikov, Elizaveta Kachurak, Rutger Garecht, 9 finalists of the sixth season, Olesya Kazachenko, Vladislav Tyukin, Adelia Zagrebina, and Anna Dorovskaya.
The series employs a panel of three coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original panel featured Dima Bilan (seasons 1–4, 11-), Pelageya (seasons 1–3, and 5–6), and Maxim Fadeev (seasons 1–2). The panel for the upcoming eleventh season features Dima Bilan (seasons 1–4, 11-), Yulianna Karaulova (season 11-) and JONY (season 11-) Other coaches include Leonid Agutin (season 3), Nyusha (season 4), Valery Meladze (seasons 4–7), LOBODA (seasons 6 and 8), Polina Gagarina (seasons 7 and 9), Basta (seasons 5, and 7–10), Egor Kreed (seasons 8―10) and MakSim (season 10).
The Voice Kids began airing on February 28, 2014, as a winter-spring TV season programme. The show proved to be a hit for Channel One.
In 2023, there was a spin-off called «The Voice. No Longer Kids», which features former participants competing in a fashion similar to the All-Stars version that originated in France.
