History
1990s - Early Years
Ownership
The channel was founded in 1997 by Vladimir Gusinsky as a part of NTV channel.[5] RTVI was owned by Russian businessman Ruslan Sokolov who bought the channel from its founder Vladimir Gusinsky in 2012. A group of Israeli private investors purchased RTVI International channel in 2017. In October 2019, the Armenia-born American Mikayel Israyelyan (Template:Lang-ru) was named the new owner of RTVI.[4]
2000s - Ownership Changes
In the early 2000s Kiselev sold a majority stake in the network to a group of Russian and foreign investors. The change brought about shifts in editorial direction and programming.[citation needed]
2010s - Broader Coverage
Throughout the 2010s, RTVI continued to expand its coverage of Russian and international news, political analysis, and cultural content. The network aimed to address a diverse range of topics relevant to the Russian-speaking community worldwide.
Editorial and Political Controversies
RTVI, like many media organizations, faced controversies related to editorial independence and political influence. Accusations of bias, censorship, and control from external sources have periodically surfaced. Some incidents led to debates about the network's credibility and objectivity.[citation needed]
Online Presence
Like many modern media outlets, RTVI expanded its online presence, making its content accessible to a global audience via the internet. This move allowed the network to reach a wider range of viewers and engage with them through digital platforms.
