Gazprom-Media Holding employees participated in a charity event at the Russian State Children's Library (RSCL) as part of their corporate volunteer program. After a fascinating tour of the library's historic building, the volunteers immersed themselves in the world of book restoration. Under the guidance of experienced restorers, they mastered careful restoration techniques: from gluing torn pages to reinforcing covers. Working with rare editions, including books dating back to 1830, which require exceptional skill and meticulous care, was particularly thrilling. Gazprom-Media Holding places great emphasis on corporate social responsibility and the development of the volunteer movement. Participating in the restoration of the book collection of the country's leading children's library is an investment not only in preserving knowledge but also in creating a future where new generations will have access to time-tested sources of wisdom and inspiration. The event was part of the Holding's corporate social responsibility program, "PRO_Uchastie," and was supported by the Mosvolonter resource center.

The holding and the Mosvolonter resource center signed a cooperation agreement in 2023. The partnership helped expand the scale and effectiveness of volunteer projects, including environmental campaigns, educational programs, and support for social institutions. Support for volunteerism and socially significant projects is an integral part of Gazprom-Media Holding's corporate social policy.

Did you manage to combine the incompatible? It seems so.

"Saturday!" is a time for relaxation, peace, and positivity. A day we dedicate to ourselves and our loved ones. Our Holding's eponymous channel strives to live up to its name.

The national video hosting service RUTUBE was awarded a certificate of honor for its contribution to the development of Chinese-Russian friendship and cooperation in the media sphere. The award ceremony took place at the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Russian Federation during a gala reception for leading Russian media outlets.

The award was presented following years of collaboration in information exchange and media communications. The award recognizes RUTUBE's contribution to strengthening Chinese-Russian cooperation and developing partnerships between the two countries' media communities.

The gala event opened with a video screening highlighting achievements in bilateral media cooperation. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the Russian Federation Zhang Hanhui addressed the participants. He emphasized that Chinese-Russian relations are at an unprecedented level, and the role of media in fostering mutual trust and understanding between the countries is of strategic importance.

According to the ambassador, it is precisely thanks to the joint work of the two countries' media structures that we are able to consistently reflect key stages of interaction between Russia and China, demonstrate the results of economic, cultural, and humanitarian cooperation, and uphold the principles of international justice in the global information space.

The awards ceremony was timed to coincide with significant dates: the 30th anniversary of the establishment of strategic cooperation between Russia and China and the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship, and Cooperation. The event also featured a photo exhibition, "The Power of Friendship, Unity in the Media."

Receiving the certificate confirms RUTUBE's role as a key participant in international media dialogue and underscores the platform's importance in developing sustainable communications links between Russia and China.

PREMIER, an online cinema service owned by Gazprom-Media Holding, reported its 2025 business results. The video service's revenue grew by 70% compared to last year, and the number of subscribers increased by 20% to 7.2 million users.

In 2025, PREMIER demonstrated higher revenue growth – a year ago, the platform increased revenue by 54%. The reason for this rapid growth is a new strategy, according to which the online cinema now focuses on partnerships and maximum monetization of its own content. Successful partnerships and lucrative deals selling licenses to broadcast PREMIER's original series helped the platform grow its revenue so effectively.

For example, one of PREMIER's most successful series, "Overheard in Rybinsk," recouped its production costs even before its premiere on the platform: the online cinema entered into a mutually beneficial partnership with the START video service. The series subsequently became one of the most-viewed on the service, garnering over 22 million views. PREMIER also achieved success with the joint launch of the comedy "Old School" with START in 2025: the series was viewed over 30 million times across both platforms (PREMIER and Start). Thus, the launch of "Old School" surpassed even PREMIER's original series of previous years, such as the hit "Peace! Friendship! Chewing Gum!"

Watching time on PREMIER increased by 18% in 2025, while the number of views increased by 20%, with SMART TV remaining the leading platform. Russian series remain the most popular content, watched by over 90% of the service's subscribers.

"In 2025, PREMIER began merging with the RUTUBE video service into a single ecosystem based on the digital assets of Gazprom-Media Holding. The merger of the two teams of professionals will allow them to share experiences and leverage their accumulated expertise more effectively. The RUTUBE platform's capabilities and broad reach—over 85 million unique users monthly—will help PREMIER reach new audiences and create diverse content around original series. In 2025, PREMIER created an unprecedented number of popular hits. Nearly every project became a landmark for the Russian film industry, setting new records."
