Russia Beyond, previously branded as Russia Beyond the Headlines or the RBTH, is a project/brand established by the company TV-Novosti, owned by the Rossiya Segodnya, which is a state news agency wholly owned and operated by the Russian government, created by an Executive Order of the President of Russia on December 9, 2013.[1][2] It is multilingual news and information resource offering news, comment, opinion and analysis on culture, politics, business, science and public life in Russia.[3] TV-Novosti is an "autonomous non-profit organization" which also manages the TV channel RT (formerly known as Russia Today). Russia Beyond maintains its pages in 14 languages, including Russian.
Other Names
On 5 September 2017, RBTH dropped the last two words of its full name, becoming Russia Beyond. The look and feel of the English edition was also refreshed substantially, with the intention of creating a less distracting browsing experience.[4]
History
Russia Beyond The Headlines was launched in 2007 by the Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian state newspaper of record. The first publisher of the project was the deputy CEO of Rossiyskaya Gazeta Eugene Abov.[5]
On January 9, 2016, RBTH became part of TV-Novosti whilst retaining its own distinct brand.[6] In 2017 the project dropped all printed versions.[7]
Self-Identified Mission
We believe that Russia is a diverse and complex country in a state of major transformation, still coming to terms with its long (sometimes painful, sometimes bizarre) history, that cannot be understood in the context of stereotypes. We would like to present significant facts and ideas that often "fly under the radar" as far as major international news outlets are concerned.[8]
Structure
Russia Beyond is managed by a section of the state-operated domestic Russian-language news agency TV-Novosti, a daughter company of the Rossiya Segodnya.
The Russia Beyond editorial team consists of the Central Desk, which produces material shared across countries and regions, and of regional clusters, where this material is adapted to specific countries, adding themes relevant for a particular region. In addition, each regional division of Russia Beyond publishes material on bilateral relations with Russia.[citation needed]
Criticism
Russia Beyond has been criticised for being a para-governmental Russian propaganda organisation.[9]
