CGTN Russian (formerly CCTV International Russian (Russian: Центральное Телевидение Китая Международный канал на Pусском языке, Tsentral'noye Televideniye Kitaya Mezhdunarodnyy kanal na Russkom yazyke), Chinese: 中国国际电视台俄语频道; pinyin: Zhōngguó zhōngyāng diànshìtái Éyǔ guójì píndào; often shorted as CCTV-Русский) is a Russian language international news, entertainment, and education television channel owned by China Central Television.
Launch[]
The Russian-language channel was launched on September 10, 2009, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between Beijing and Moscow. CCTV Russian is broadcast through Chinasat 6B and EB-9A, which cover the Asian-Pacific Region, Middle East and Europe. The channel is aimed at about 300 million viewers in the post-Soviet nations (12 Commonwealth of Independent States members and three Baltic Sea nations), and Eastern European countries.[1] Since 2016 the CCTV Russian is present in the SPB TV online translation [2] in the Belt and Road TV (SPB TV) application.[3]
Content[]
The channel broadcasts entirely in Russian, with 16 programs in the form of news, feature stories, entertainment and educational programs. Its daily schedule consists of 6-hour blocks. News broadcasts will be updated more often, while all feature programs air four times daily.[1]
While reporting about the two sessions, ie National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, CGTN Russian used "Party of crooks and thieves", a derogative term to describe United Russia, in its video to introduce China's efforts to contain corruption, causing the criticism from some Russian media.[4]
