History

''Russia Beyond The Headlines'' was launched in 2007 by the '' Rossiyskaya Gazeta'', a newspaper published by the Government of Russia. The first publisher of the project was the deputy CEO of ''Rossiyskaya Gazeta'' Eugene Abov. On January 9, 2016, ''RBTH'' became part of TV-Novosti whilst retaining its own distinct brand. In 2017 the project dropped all printed versions. On 5 September 2017, ''RBTH'' dropped the last two words of its full name, becoming ''Russia Beyond''. ''Russia Beyond'' is managed by a section of the news agency TV-Novosti.
