Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of Alexei Navalny, announced the launch of a new TV channel, “Russia of the Future,” which will be available to Russians via the Svoboda satellite package.
Presentation of the TV channel in Paris
The presentation of the TV channel took place in Paris, at the headquarters of the organization for the protection of journalists, which is considered "undesirable" in the Russian Federation. The event was also attended by Tiby Brutten, the head of this organization.
Launch of the TV channel on Alexei Navalny's birthday
The channel is scheduled to launch on June 4, Alexei Navalny's birthday. This move can be seen as a tribute to his legacy and a continuation of his work.
TV channel broadcast
The Russia of the Future channel will be broadcast via the Svoboda satellite package, which is available in most of Russia. This package has been broadcasting dozens of independent Russian-language channels for a year and a half.
Availability of frequencies for broadcasting
Svoboda's broadcast frequencies became available after the journalistic community removed pro-Kremlin channels, including Channel One, Rossiya and NTV, from the French satellite Eutelsat.
The Importance of the New TV Channel
The launch of the Russia of the Future TV channel could be an important step in the dissemination of independent information in Russia. This channel could become an alternative to state-run TV channels and provide Russians with access to more objective and diverse information.
Prospects and possible consequences
The launch of the new TV channel could have significant implications for Russia's media landscape. It could become a platform for expressing diverse viewpoints and help develop independent media in the country.
In the future, the Russia of the Future TV channel may become an important player in the Russian media sphere, providing citizens with alternative sources of information and promoting the development of democratic processes.
