RT (Russia Today)

Russia Today (RT) is an international television network funded by the Russian government, launched in 2005. It broadcasts news, documentaries, and analysis in multiple languages, aiming to present Russia’s perspective on global events. RT is known for providing alternative viewpoints and covering stories that may be underreported elsewhere. However, it has also faced criticism for promoting specific political narratives and having potential bias due to its government backing. As a state-funded outlet, RT plays a role in Russia’s soft power strategy, influencing international audiences and shaping perceptions of global issues.
