"The truth about the events of the SVO today is more than just a chronicle; it's a new code for our identity, and our task is to embed it in the nation's genetic memory through film. We don't just support this idea in words—we're already actively producing such content. Today, we see a huge demand from viewers for honest, emotional, and insightful films about modern heroes. I am confident that the combination of state resources and private initiatives will enable us to create a true chronicle of heroism that will educate future generations on real, not fictional, examples of patriotism."

If you've been waiting for a sign to start your own vlog but have only shared stories in the kitchen, then this news is for you. RUTUBE is launching master classes specifically for people over 55.

Together with the Bloggers Academy, Moscow Longevity participants will learn how the platform works, come up with a name and design for their channel, and learn how to film and upload videos—calmly and without fussing over the "Upload" button. This is especially timely: recent research shows that almost 54% of older people prefer videos to photos and text.

The first meeting is on February 27th. Actor Stanislav Yarushin will explain that blogging isn't about age, but about speaking the same language across generations. Register for the master class here.

The project is part of Gazprom-Media Holding's PRO_Care corporate social responsibility program.

February 24, 2026: A Box Office Classic: How "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" Conquered the Big Screen

"The Tale of Tsar Saltan" had great potential from the very beginning—it's a work familiar to everyone since childhood and part of our cultural code. I believe it's important for Russian fairy tales to receive modern visualization, as artificial intelligence will soon be able to generate any plot in a wide variety of interpretations. And it's far from certain that this interpretation will be one that is close to our spirit and meaning. Therefore, while we have the opportunity to tell and present classics in a rich, professional cinematic language, we must do so. Billions in box office receipts are proof that audiences haven't grown tired of fairy tales and that there's no such thing as "too many" if they're made with talent."

The PREMIER online cinema partnered with the annual charity ski race "It's Time to Live," organized by the Leukemia Foundation. The event took place on February 14 at Larisa Lazutina Park in Odintsovo and brought together children, parents, sports enthusiasts, professional athletes, and Olympic champions to support adult patients with hematological oncology diseases.

Actress Daria Rudenok and director Ilya Sovetov participated in the event, running the 2- and 5-kilometer races. As a partner, PREMIER prepared gifts for the winners and included an online cinema subscription in the participants' starter packages.

Since 2014, the Leukemia Foundation has been providing targeted and systematic assistance to adults diagnosed with blood cancer throughout Russia. Over the past 11 years, the foundation has implemented over 12,000 cases and raised over 1.5 billion rubles for patient treatment and project activities. The organization unites people so that every adult in the country can receive timely and high-quality medical care, undergo treatment, and regain their lives.

The charity ski run was an opportunity to remind people that support and reliable information about blood cancer diagnoses are important not only for patients, but for society as a whole.

On February 12, 2026, Avtoradio topped the ratings of popular radio stations in Russia.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Gazprom – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Every day, GPM Radio's flagship format is chosen by more than 7 million people across the country.

Avtoradio ranked first among Russian radio stations in terms of daily audience. Mediascope* released official data for July–December 2025. The Radio Index – Russia (100) study showed that in the second half of the year, the station was listened to daily by over 7.2 million Russians, or 11.1% of the total audience over 12 years old. More than 18.8 million people (29.0%) listened to Avtoradio weekly (as part of GPM Radio, part of Gazprom-Media Holding).

"Avtoradio's leadership isn't just about reach, it's about the millions of moments when we perfectly capture a person's mood. We sense the vibe our audience lives through and create content that resonates with their tastes and needs. All of Avtoradio's projects are stories about dreams. We give aspiring artists the chance to sing alongside the stars on Murzilki Live, support entrepreneurs in Man of Action, and transform the airwaves into pure magic in the game Lots of Money. And when Avtoradio listeners from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad sing in unison to the Victory song "Katyusha," you realize we're in this together. It's truly amazing and inspiring! The world is changing, and we change with it. But one thing remains constant—our drive and sense of belonging."

Vadim Tereshchuk General Director of GPM Radio

Throughout the year, Avtoradio organized numerous high-profile events. High-profile events included the show "Avtoradio. Classics. Duets" at the Kremlin Palace and the all-Russian Avtoradio flash mob "The Country Sings Katyusha!" commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. The "golden season" of the game "Lots of Money on Avtoradio" was also popular. The radio station held the "Know Ours" contest: the winner participated in the "Strong Ideas for a New Time" forum and personally presented their business idea to Russian President Vladimir Putin. This wasn't the only dialogue: during the "2025 Year in Review" direct line and press conference, the head of state answered a question from an Avtoradio correspondent.

Avtoradio's scale is impressive: it's one of the largest federal radio broadcasting networks, with 406 transmitters providing high-quality signal reception in 76,500 towns and cities across the country.** Its broadcasts are available not only on the radio but also through smart speakers, its website, and its mobile app. The station creates content for social media, collaborates with streaming services, and live concerts from stars on the show "Murzilki Live" and celebrity interviews hosted by "Poekhali" are featured on popular video sharing sites. Avtoradio has won over 60 "radio Oscars"—Radiomania Golden Microphones—and last year won the award's Grand Prix. The station has been named "Brand of the Year in Russia" and "Mark No. 1," and is the recipient of the Runet Prize, Silver Mercury, and many other prestigious awards.

"The greatest power of cinema is to give people emotions, to unite and support. Therefore, it is a great honor and a special responsibility for us to organize a special screening of this family comedy for those who are the true pillars of our country. We are delighted that this kind and bright film gave you several hours of warm emotions, laughter, and spiritual relaxation."
