On October 17, the Russia Today TV channel turns 20 years old.
Dear friends!
Congratulations on this significant date – the 20th anniversary of Russia Today.
In the modern world, information independence is a vital component of sovereignty, just like political or economic autonomy. Since its founding, RT has successfully shaped Russia's image internationally, consistently upholding the principles of freedom of speech, and combating one-sided interpretations of events and the distortion of historical truth.
And from the very first days of the special military operation, your channel has been reporting on the heroic deeds of our defenders. RT journalists are always on the front lines, risking their lives to report from hot spots. This requires not only high professionalism but also courage and dedication.
You've created a brand known to millions of viewers in our country and abroad. And today, you continue to fulfill your mission with dignity and responsibility, adhering to the highest journalistic standards, and remaining an authoritative source of timely and objective information.
I wish you continued growth, new creative projects, and exciting ideas. I wish you and your loved ones good health and prosperity.
M. Mishustin
