In the 2022–23 season, Russian skaters completed in domestic qualifying events and national championships for various age levels. The Russian Cup series, renamed this year as the "Russian Grand Prix" for senior skaters and the "All-Russian competitions" for junior skaters, leads to four events – the Russian Championships, the Russian Junior Championships, the Russian Grand Prix Final and the All-Russian final competitions "Federation Cup".[1]
From March 1, 2022 onwards, the International Skating Union banned all figure skaters and officials from Russia and Belarus from attending any international competitions following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2] As a result, all skaters were required to qualify through the Russian Grand Prix and the All-Russian competitions' series.
The 2023 Russian Championships were held in Krasnoyarsk from 20 to 25 December 2022. Qualification is based on Russian Grand Prix series' results. In addition, figure skaters who were included in official pre-season national team roster but were unable to participate at the Russian Grand Prix series due to good reasons, can be included into list of participants by decision of the Executive Committee of the Figure Skating Federation of Russia.
The 2023 Russian Junior Championships (Russian: Первенство России среди юниоров 2023) were held in Perm from 14 to 18 February 2023.
