The thirteenth season of the Russian reality talent show The Voice premiered on January 31, 2025, on Channel One which is the third time that the show is not released in Fall season. The coaching panel consists of Polina Gagarina and Anton Belyaev, who both returned from the previous season for their seventh and third seasons as coaches. Former coach Basta returned for his fifth season, replacing Vladimir Presnyakov. Debuting coach Hibla Gerzmava replaced Zivert. Yana Churikova returned as host of the program for her third season.
David Sanikidze was announced as the winner of the season, marking Hibla Gerzmava's first win as a coach. With Sanikidze's win, Hibla Gerzmava became the third coach, after Grigory Leps and Konstantin Meladze to win on their debut season. However, Gerzmava was the first female coach to accomplish this. Additionally, both the winner (Sanikidze) and runner-up (Dulaev) were originally from Gerzmava's team following the blind auditions before Anton Belyaev stole Dulaev in the knockouts.
Coaches and host Basta, Polina Gagarina, and Anton Belyaev all returned for their fifth, seventh, and third seasons, respectively. Debutant Hibla Gerzmava joined the panel, marking the second season in the show's history where two female coaches were present on the panel.

The Blind Auditions The show begins with the blind auditions. In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches, whose chairs are facing the audience. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, they may press their button to face the artist. If only one coach presses the button, the artist automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join. As from season seven, each coach must have to complete its team with twelve artists. Each coach has granted three "blocks" instead of four from the previous season to prevent another coach from getting an artist.
The feature "Best Coach" is applied again this season. ✔ Coach pressed "I WANT YOU" button Coach pressed "I WANT YOU" button, even its team has already full Artist joined this coach's teamArtist defaulted to a coach's team Artist was eliminated with no coach pressing their button ✘ Coach pressed "I WANT YOU" button, but was blocked by another coach from getting the artist Blocked by Basta Blocked by Polina Gagarina Blocked by Hibla Gerzmava Blocked by Anton Belyaev
