All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company
The All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (全俄国家电视广播公司), or VGTRK, is Russia’s largest state-owned media corporation, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Moscow. The broadcaster operates five national television channels, including Rossiya 1 and the 24-hour news channel Rossiya 24, along with six radio stations and 89 regional networks broadcasting in 54 languages across Russia. VGTRK also runs the international channel RTR Planeta, which reaches audiences in the United States, Europe, and China. During Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the broadcaster has been accused of spreading propaganda and disinformation. Unlike RT, VGTRK primarily targets domestic Russian audiences. The European Union sanctioned the company in July 2022, and YouTube blocked its channels in 2022 and 2024.
