Russia News & Radio in English

Russia's news in English from every side, each story marked by who published it, with English podcasts. For expats, students, travellers and Russia-watchers. This app draws on several sources, all listed under SOURCES. NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: Russia News is independent and not affiliated with the Russian or any other government or agency. Official sources are linked under SOURCES. In an emergency in Russia call 112. NEWS FROM EVERY SIDE By topic (politics, war, economy, energy, sanctions, technology, law, society, the Arctic, sport, culture, health) and by place, from Moscow to the Far East. Every outlet is labelled state media, independent and exiled, Ukraine and neighbours, or international; chips let you read one source at a time, and you choose which sources may send you a notification, for example only independent and exiled media. ENGLISH PODCASTS Carnegie Politika, In Moscow's Shadows, The Naked Pravda, The Power Vertical, Russian Roulette, The Eurasian Knot and Ukraine: The Latest. LIVE RADIO BBC World Service and DW in English; Radio Svoboda, Kommersant FM, Business FM, Retro FM and Nashe Radio in Russian. TODAY IN RUSSIA For your place: weather and rain, air quality with smoke alerts, the ruble and the Bank of Russia's key rate, earthquakes, a watch on airport closures, internet blocks and power cuts, and the next long weekend. THE CALENDAR Public holidays and working Saturdays from the Government's production calendar, updated automatically; Orthodox dates; tax deadlines; key-rate meetings; reminders. LEARN RUSSIAN A Russian word a day, and "Russia explained" terms under headlines.

Source labels judge who owns or funds an outlet, not any story; Russia's domestic press works under wartime censorship. Air quality is the US AQI; no official weather warnings. Disputed territories are named as sources name them. Free with one banner ad; a purchase removes it.
