GPM Radio (part of Gazprom-Media Holding) and Artemy Lebedev Studio completed the task of redesigning the radio station's visual identity to be as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear. One of Russia's most popular radio stations* entered 2026 completely redesigned. It is now Radio ENERGY (NRG), with a new logo, stylish elements, and memorable typography.

"We've been developing the brand for 20 years and have made it truly famous. Our shows have won numerous prestigious awards, and our off-air projects attract thousands of viewers and receive a huge media response. Now it's time for new achievements. The station's logo and musical design have changed, but our spirit of drive and trendy sound remain unchanged. This isn't a rebranding for the sake of rebranding, but a reimagining of what modern radio should be – bright, bold, and relatable."

Vadim Tereshchuk General Director of GPM Radio

Radio ENERGY infuses listeners with vital energy and becomes their gateway to contemporary, trendy music, giving everyone the opportunity to feel like a citizen of the world. The station is chosen by 3.4 million Russians daily, with a weekly reach of over 9.2 million*, ranking among the top 5 in Russia among its target audience**. Its average listener is a young woman aged 35. She is athletic, takes care of her health, leads an active lifestyle, and enjoys a vibrant atmosphere and top hits, and Radio ENERGY embodies this vibe. The updated visuals convey the station's contemporary character while maintaining its recognizability and appeal to its audience. The main element is a stylized red ribbon, perceived as a wave of energy and symbolizing the continuous flow of music.

"Our challenge was to relaunch the brand, make it vibrant, vibrant, modern, and recognizable. We couldn't do without art. The result is beautiful, spectacular, and emotional. The message is one: energy. The flowing, endless ribbon that forms the letters of the logo, like a Möbius loop, is very energetic and cool. This logo is good not only in static form but also in animation."

Artemy Lebedev, a renowned Russian designer and blogger

The new logo is an energetic flow, encapsulated in three recognizable letters (NRG). The color palette features the signature red and black, with large, soft, and flowing letters formed by the curves of the ribbon. The logo aligns with the slogan "Only the Best Music" and is harmonious in both vertical and horizontal versions, and also looks good in monochrome.

The award is given for significant professional achievements in the field of journalism and media.

Ilya Ushenin has been a war correspondent since 1999 and has been with NTV since 2008. Originally from Yekaterinburg, he began his career at the age of 19 on Channel Four, covering the second Chechen campaign.

He spent almost two years of his life in the SVO zone.

"We visited tank crews near Donetsk. We brought them triangle-shaped letters from schoolchildren in the Rostov region. The children's messages contained words of encouragement, such as 'Dear soldier, take care and come back.' The soldiers were taking Maryinka, having just returned from a mission—their faces and hands blackened with soot. I remember the moment vividly: the tank crewman takes the letter with trembling, dirty hands, carefully unfolds it, trying not to stain it, and reads it aloud, tears dripping from his dark face. Military personnel really appreciate it when someone from the rear supports them," Ilya Ushenin recounted about his work in the SVO zone in 2024.

Representatives of Gazprom-Media Holding companies regularly receive this prestigious award: over the past three years, 17 employees of NTV, Avtoradio, and Children's Radio have received it.

The project was produced by the Andreasyan brothers' film company in partnership with Gazprom-Media Holding, Soyuzmultfilm, and the TNT television channel.

The story centers on a boy nicknamed Uncle Fyodor, who, along with his cat Matroskin and dog Sharik, travels to the village of Prostokvashino, where adventures, trials, and important discoveries await.

Mountains of fake sweets, vibrant costumes, and traditional oranges—Cheburashka 2 is a true visual attraction, assembled from thousands of details. Together, they transform the film into a cozy world you'll want to return to.

The mountains of sweets at Sonya's birthday party were a masterpiece of engineering. The desserts melted in the sun, so some were remade with foam. Each cake was color-tested to ensure perfect fit in the frame, and transparent caps protected the sweets from the rain.

Rimma (Elena Yakovleva) retained her status as the leading fashionista – she had a unique costume made for each scene.

To ensure a natural sound, Olga Kuzmina (the voice of Cheburashka) actually ate oranges during recording.

The film's distinctive feature is its dynastic casting. Valera was played by the Dobronravovs, father and son, and the Hunter by the Lykovs. This resulted in a rare continuity of characters in film.

For Sonya's birthday scene, artists created over 200 costumes for the extras.

The family blockbuster "Cheburashka 2" was released on January 1st. The film's distributor is Central Partnership (part of Gazprom-Media Holding). The first installment grossed 6.787 billion rubles, becoming the highest-grossing Russian film of all time.

Fairy tales seem like a simple genre. However, the acting community believes they're more challenging to play than dramas. You understand the magical world around you, but you have to perform it for real. That's why each role is so special.

We asked the actors of Prostokvashino what participating in this project means to them.

A fairy tale is a separate story, the pinnacle of artistic creativity, – Ivan Okhlobystin (postman Pechkin).

The role of Uncle Fyodor's mother is a gift. I'm simply a lucky person, – Liza Moryak (Uncle Fyodor's mother).

It was a great pleasure to play such a role and show the film to my children, – Pavel Priluchny (Uncle Fyodor's father).

The film based on the story by Eduard Uspensky is now in theaters!

The project was created by the Andreasyan brothers' film company in partnership with Gazprom-Media Holding, Soyuzmultfilm, and the TNT television channel. The producers were Gevond and Sarik Andreasyan, Tina Kandelaki, Boris Khanchalyan, Arkady Vodakhov, Marina Razumova, and Yuliana Slashcheva.

Gazprom-Media Holding is summing up the results of 2025, which saw it strengthen its positions in key business segments. Its strategy, focused on technological development, high-quality content creation, and the implementation of its social mission, continues to deliver sustainable results.

RUTUBE consolidates digital assets The year 2025 for RUTUBE was marked by the consolidation of digital video platforms under the RUTUBE brand; the asset development team was united by the IT hub RUTUBE TECH. The total number of views for the year amounted to more than 50 billion – 3.5 times more than the previous year. The average viewing time is 46.1 minutes per day; the content library exceeds 430 million videos. According to Mediascope, the monthly audience has grown to 80.6 million users. The international presence is also actively growing: foreign views increased from 444.4 thousand to 2.1 billion, with Kazakhstan, Belarus and the USA becoming the leaders. According to RUTUBE, more than 4.5 million channels are registered on the platform, and authors were paid almost 1.5 billion rubles in remuneration for displaying advertising per year. The introduction of artificial intelligence technologies ensured an increase in engagement by 75%; the hybrid approach reduced video moderation time to four minutes. Cybersecurity systems demonstrate high stability and efficiency, constantly monitoring and analyzing all possible threats. Cyber ​​risk management is one of the strategic priorities of digital assets, ensuring the reliability of Gazprom-Media Holding’s video services and the availability of content for users. The strategy of PREMIER, which has become part of the single umbrella brand RUTUBE, is based on partnerships and co-productions with TV channels and studios, which allows the production of high-quality content while optimizing costs. Among the most popular projects of this year are the comedy “Old School” about an old-school mathematics teacher (according to online cinemas, more than 30 million views on PREMIER and START), the military drama “Taganrog”, as well as the series “Overheard in Rybinsk”, which became the most successful launch in the history of the platform among the first seasons, produced by the film company 1-2-3 Production, which actively cooperates with television channels and leading streaming services. In 2026, the Holding plans to complete the consolidation of digital assets, which will provide users with a single entry point and seamless viewing of multi-format content.

The Power of Content: Leading Television BrandsThe Holding's television brands demonstrated strong growth, strengthening their leadership in their niches. For the first time since 2020, TNT became Russia's leading entertainment channel among audiences aged 14–44, with an average daily share of 8.6%, an 11% increase compared to the same period in 2024*. Friday! ranked among the top two of the big three entertainment channels for the year, with a 5.5% share from Monday to Friday, when its own shows and reality programs air**. The channel's average share in major cities increased by 9% compared to 2024, reaching 5.2%***.

Mission: social projects and work with bloggers In 2025, Gazprom-Media Holding continued to consistently implement the PRO corporate responsibility program. Among the priorities are the production of socially significant content, information support for NGOs and charitable foundations, targeted assistance to SVO participants and their families, as well as care for the older generation. This year, the annual “Special Talents” competition, aimed at finding and supporting gifted children with special needs throughout Russia, received more than 4 thousand applications from 80 regions of our country and 6 regions of the Republic of Belarus. The TV-3 charity marathon “New Year’s Miracles” has helped 55 children over 10 years, collecting almost 80 million rubles. GPM Radio demonstrates a special strength in uniting the country. His all-Russian project “The Country Sings Katyusha!” on Victory Day covered 300 cities, turning into a nationwide event. A special role is given to the Insight People production center, which unites more than 2,700 bloggers in 89 regions of the country. This community has a direct conversation with the audience in the language of modern media, which was confirmed by the multi-format media marathon “Memory Card” for the 80th anniversary of the Victory. It combined the military drama “Platform 19/44” about child heroes, the documentary “Letter of Vera” about the feat of the home front, a series of videos and a touching music video “Dad, we are with you.” The Holding’s digital assets also implemented a number of inclusive and cultural projects: with the support of RUTUBE, popular animated series were adapted for hearing-impaired children, PREMIER implemented initiatives with the Pushkin Museum and charitable foundations.

Russian Cinema: National Stories' Success at the Box Office. This ongoing dialogue with millions of viewers is naturally reflected in big-screen cinema. The Holding's creative companies translate success into box office sales, demonstrating the power of national narratives. Of the nine blockbuster films, six were released by Central Partnership. "The Wizard of the Emerald City: The Yellow Brick Road" became the top-grossing film in Russia in 2025, grossing over 3.3 billion rubles. The biographical drama "The Prophet: The Story of Alexander Pushkin" surpassed the 1.6 billion ruble mark, while the folk comedy "Batya 2: Grandfather" and the film "August" grossed over 1.5 billion rubles. "Alice in Wonderland" and "Kraken" grossed over 1.2 billion rubles and 1.1 billion rubles, respectively*. These results are clear evidence that stories rooted in Russian cultural heritage resonate with audiences.

Going global: exporting content and meaning The holding is consistently strengthening the position of Russian content in the international arena. In 2025, films distributed and produced by the Central Partnership film company were released in 44 countries, the number of international releases reached 63. The geography of film distribution is wide – content is successfully acquired for the markets of Europe, the USA, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. Projects such as “The Last Ronin” and “The Wizard of the Emerald City. “Yellow Brick Road” exhibits the most extensive geography, being sold in more than 60 countries. They are followed by “The Prophet. The Story of Alexander Pushkin” and “Kraken”, presented in 48 countries. The most ambitious release to date is “The Wizard of the Emerald City. Yellow Brick Road” has already taken place in more than 30 countries, including China and Latin America, with screenings in India and Italy planned in the near future. The Holding considers co-production to be the most promising direction – joint production with foreign partners, which allows you to create content that simultaneously meets the interests of both Russian and foreign audiences. The strategic focus is on the markets of Asia (China, India) and the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey), where there is significant audience growth, active government support for creative industries and demand for alternative Western content. As part of cooperation with the UAE, it is planned to expand the range of international projects, including feature films and TV series, as well as the creation of the Russian-Emirati Center for Creative Industries. In parallel, the Holding maintains active interaction with the CIS countries and explores opportunities for partnerships in Latin America – in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and other countries in the region with a rich cinematic heritage.
