Russia Beyond (formerlyRussia Beyond The Headlines) is a Russian multilingual project operated byRT (formerlyRussia Today) parent ANO TV-Novosti, founded by the Russian state news agencyRIA Novosti.[2][3]
Russia Beyond The Headlines was launched in 2007 by theRossiyskaya Gazeta, a newspaper published by thegovernment of Russia. The first publisher of the project was the deputy CEO ofRossiyskaya GazetaEugene Abov.[4]
On 9 January 2016,RBTH became part ofTV-Novosti whilst retaining its own distinct brand. In 2017, the project dropped all printed versions.[5]
On 5 September 2017,RBTH dropped the last two words of its full name, becomingRussia Beyond. The look and feel of the English edition was also refreshed substantially, removing all things regarded as distracting on screen when reading a story or watching a video.[6]
After using a stylizedR as the logo for nine years,Russia Beyond introduced a brand new one on 20 February 2023,.[7]
In 2007 and 2014, formerSlate journalistJack Shafer andThe Guardian commentatorRoy Greenslade respectively accusedRussia Beyond of being propaganda.[8][9][10][11] In Europe, the media outlet paid London'sDaily Telegraph,Le Figaro in France,Süddeutsche Zeitung in Germany, and the Italian dailyLa Repubblica to be distributed as an insert to those publications, and in the United States it partnered withThe Washington Post until 2015;The Wall Street Journal andThe New York Times were bundling the insert into their regular editions as of 2018.[12][10][9]Beyond the Headlines paid theDaily Telegraph £40,000 per month to be distributed as a supplement to its weekend publication and theDaily Telegraph website also featured content from RBTH's website. The monthly Russia-themed supplement first appeared inThe Daily Telegraph and the AmericanWashington Post in 2007 under the nameRussia Now.[13][12][10]
