Margarita Simonyan Quotations

We're going to do international news and are trying to do a Russian angle on them, trying to show what impact international affairs have on Russia and we will also try to show interesting things about Russia, what is happening here, documentaries, interesting people and places, something that might be new to our audience.

I don't think it would make much sense if they did. It is pretty obvious when you censor it.

We will mainly have Russian news, but we will also show international events and express them from our point of view here.
