Russia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 in Dublin, Ireland. The Russian broadcaster Russian Public Television (ORT) internally selected Philipp Kirkorov with the song "Kolybelnaya dlya vulkana", written by Ilya Bershadskiy and Ilya Resnik, to represent the nation. Prior to Kirkorov's selection, ORT organised a public selection process to select the Russian entrant. While the event did take place, the jury could not decide on the winner of selection and ultimately opted to choose the artist internally.

Vocal Band were selected to represent Russia, however ORT later withdrew the band as the Russian representatives due to the members being unable to finance their participation. Kirkorov was then selected instead. Russia was drawn to appear sixth in the final, which was held on 13 May. In the final, the nation placed 17th with 17 points, marking the nation's worst placement in the contest to this point.
