Russian World online - Television live

Russian World Live Stream

Russian World, Русский мир, is a Russian cultural and educational channel produced in Yekaterinburg.

Culture and faith

The grid is educational television: programmes on Russian history and culture, Orthodox content, and material on the Russian language and its literature, made for viewers in Russia and among Russian speakers abroad.

The name

Russkiy mir, the Russian world, is a term covering the language, culture and communities that share them beyond the borders of the state. A channel built on that idea addresses the diaspora, and its programming is closer to cultural diplomacy than to news.

Funding and purpose

Channels of this kind are supported by foundations and church-linked bodies rather than by advertising alone, which lets them carry long lectures, documentaries and liturgical material. That funding is also why their editorial line follows the institutions behind them.

Distribution

The channel broadcasts by satellite and cable and streams through its own site, reaching Russian-speaking audiences at home and abroad.
