Since it is sometimes hard to find unbiased news sources, the Russian media can be hard to navigate. Here are just a few suggestions when trying to learn about the various facets of Russian media and culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russia Today<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.rt.com\/<\/p>\n

This is a state-funded news outlet that is understood as the point-of-view from the Kremlin. It\u2019s always interesting to learn what kind of thoughts the Kremlin wants to support, and since they cater to an international audience, they have a great Russian learning page that has lots of grammar, vocabulary, and speaking exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u041c\u0435\u0434\u0438\u044f\u0437\u043e\u043d\u0430 (MediaZona)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

https:\/\/zona.media\/<\/p>\n

Pretty much the exact opposite of <\/span>Russia Today<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>\u041c\u0435\u0434\u0438\u044f\u0437\u043e\u043d\u0430<\/span><\/i> was founded by two members from the group <\/span>Pussy Riot<\/span><\/i>, Nadya Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina. They cover political stories, such as those about law enforcement and judicial news. This is a good way to find out about the few opposition media outlets, and what they are focusing on today. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe Moscow Times<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.themoscowtimes.com\/<\/p>\n

This is an English-Language, Moscow-based online newspaper. They are independent, and cover stories about pretty much anything. If you just want a more familiar outlet that still discusses current events in Russia from a local perspective, this is a good one to start with. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course there are many more Russian news sources to choose from. These are just a few very different ones that might get you started!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
