RT Documentary (RTD, rt.doc) is the documentary channel of the RT television network, broadcasting in English around the clock. The channel was launched on 23 June 2011 on the initiative of then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, after an earlier period of test broadcasting.

Its mission is to cover the life of cities, nature and the traditions of the peoples of Russia and the world: documentary films about people, society and culture, features on technology, and films addressing current events - from travel and science to history.
