The winners of the twelve seasons have been: Alisa Kozhikina, Sabina Mustaeva, Danil Pluzhnikov, Elizaveta Kachurak, Rutger Garekht, Mikella Abramova, Olesya Kazachenko, Vladislav Tyukin, Adelia Zagrebina, Anna Dorovskaya, Vasily Igolkin and Maria Nikulina.
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, Pelageya and Maxim Fadeev. The panel for the most recent twelfth season featured Dima Bilan, Natalia Podolskaya and Aida Garifullina. Other coaches include Leonid Agutin, Nyusha, Valery Meladze, Basta, Svetlana Loboda, Polina Gagarina, Egor Kreed, MakSim, Yulianna Karaulova and Jony.
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.
Conception
An adaptation of the Dutch show The Voice Kids, Channel One announced the show under the name Голос. Дети (The Voice Kids).
In each season, the winner receives ₽500,000 and a record deal for their own album.
Selection process and format
- Blind auditions
Each season begins with the "Blind Auditions", where coaches form their team of artists whom they mentor through the remainder of the season. The coaches' chairs are faced towards the audience during artists' performances; those interested in an artist press their button, which turns their chair towards the artist and illuminates the bottom of the chair to read "Я выбираю тебя" ("I CHOOSE YOU"). At the conclusion of the performance, an artist either defaults to the only coach who turned around or selects their coach if more than one coach expresses interest.
- Battles
In the Battle Rounds, each coach groups three of their team members to perform together and then chooses one to advance in the competition.
- Sing-offs
In the Sing-off Rounds, remaining artists within a team sing individual performances in succession. At the conclusion of the performances, coaches would decide which three artists get to advance to the next round.
- Final
In the Final of the competition, nine artists from all teams perform in the live show, where public voting narrows to a final group of three artists and after second round of performances eventually declares a winner.
