History[edit]

1990s[edit]

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 Gusinsky in 2012. A group of Israeli private investors purchased RTVI International channel in 2017. In October 2019, the Armenia-born American Mikayel Israyelyan was named the new owner of RTVI.[4]

2000s - Ownership Changes[edit]

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]

Staff[edit]

RTVi's News Director till June 2020 was Ekaterina Kotrikadze. Russian journalist Alexey Pivovarov was appointed editor-in-chief in 2016. Pivovarov remained in this position till 25 June 2020.[4][6] On 10 March 2022, the general producer of RTVI Sergey Shnurov announced the temporary termination of cooperation with RTVI.[7]
