«Russia-24» is a Russian news channel that is part of the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. It began broadcasting in July 2006.
After the channel was created, most experts said that it was a political project and would influence public opinion before the parliamentary and presidential elections of 2007 and 2008.
«Russia-24» positions itself as an objective news channel that provides viewers with a multifaceted picture of events around the world. However, many critics argue that the channel systematically spreads propaganda and disinformation, especially regarding events in Ukraine and other countries that do not align with Russia's political interests.
«Russia-24» often uses emotionally charged language, one-sided presentation of information, and manipulative techniques to shape the desired perception of reality in the audience. In addition, the channel systematically criticizes Western media, accusing them of falsifying information and propaganda.
Despite criticism, «Russia-24» remains one of the most popular news channels in Russia. This is because the channel is available in all regions of the country, and many Russians trust the information presented on «Russia-24».
