Recently, a video titled "'Putin' participated in The Voice of Russia, three instructors turned around and were frightened" has caused a heated discussion on the Chinese Internet. Although the 1 minute and 29 seconds long video was later confirmed to be a spoof video with high editing skills, the song in it was indeed sung by Putin himself. Many Chinese netizens lamented, "What else can stop the omnipotent Putin?"

This video also caused great repercussions in Russia, and is still on the "Channel 1" of the organizer of The Voice of Russia ” on the official website. It first appeared in a popular Russian TV show "Night Urgant". This program believes that most people are familiar with how instructors select students, but do not know how to select judges, so the program production unit created this program. In fact, this English song was sung by Putin at a charity dinner in St. Petersburg in 2010 to save seriously ill children. This was also the first time that Putin showed off his singing voice in public.

While "The Voice" is popular in China, the Russian version of "The Voice" is also very popular. In the summer of 2012, Russia's most-watched Channel 1 was launched and has now entered its second season. Like the Chinese version of The Voice, the show is also derived from the Dutch program "The Voice Netherlands". The Voice of Russia is well-produced. It is not only a music program, but also the best stage to show the Russian people’s musical dreams and Russian customs to the world.

The four music instructors are all famous. Including the meritorious artist Agukin; the Russian People's Artist and the founder of Russian rock Graski; the emerging folk singer Bela Gaia and the Eurovision Song Contest champion Dima Bilan. The Russian version of The Voice has three stages. First, listen to the singing of all contestants, and then each instructor selects his or her own team of 12 people; the second stage is a duel between each instructor team; third, the final stage determines the final winner through public voting. In the end, Garibova, born in the 1990s, won the first Russian Voice Championship with 54 votes.
